Oh I would you see, but I’m a hemophiliac and anything metal scares me. Could you do it for me please?  
[/QUOTE]

Well actually, I’m under a court order not to own or operate a blender. Some joker convinced the government that I was capable of making every sub at every delicatessen in the country launch it’s missiles by whistling into a blender.

But oh do I miss the sweet, dulcet tones of liquefied food. _Everything_ tastes better when you mix it together.

[QUOTE=OtakuLoki]  
Now, _there_’d be some really popular party mementos, wouldn’t there?

How did you score an invite to that party? D’you think that we’ll find any celebs crashing this party?

Want me to get you a refill on your drink?  
[/QUOTE]

Well, I wasn’t exactly invited…I had to sneak in through a secret passage way. Luckily, since I was wearing my Cloak of Invisibility™, no one saw me.

And, yes you can get me another drink. I’m having butterbeer, but baring that, pumpkin juice will do.

Ooo, I have a great idea for a game! We’ll pass around a list of alternate uses uses for a blender, and everyone will try and guess what the most popular answer is! Then we can hand out points for guessing the most populoar answer. I’ll start:

Getting Scarlett J. to take her top off: 1  
Automated Bris instrument: 1

Anyone else?

May I suggest you take any pictures you intend to take _before_ people get wild and crazy with blenders? 🙂

I just read the OP, and this looks like fun, but I gotta run. I’ll be back later.

Well, don’t come back too late – otherwise, you’ll probably come back to a wild tale of how **Omi no Kami** was _osterized_ from polite society. Heh heh heh heh heh.

Man, I never get invited to any of Obama’s parties, or anything else party related. If he did invite me, he’s see what great assets I have!

Did you?

Logically, all we can know is the existence of the pie. That you are the creator, and indeed that there is a creator at all, can’t be concluded simply from the fact that the pie exists.

I’m not a big fan of lemon meringue pie. I prefer chocolate cream or raspberry. Maybe apple pie.

[QUOTE=Eureka]  
I brought a bottle of Kat Knapp White wine (isn’t it a cute kitty on the bottle?) and some stuffed snow peas. The pink ones (on a separate plate, just in case anyone has seafood allergies) have crabmeat, the yellow ones have egg salad, and the other ones have herb cream cheese in them.  
[/QUOTE]

Kat Knapp wine? Never head of it, is it any good? Although, yeah, it _is_ a cute kitty, and how awfully nice it was of them to name a wine after me, don’t you think?

Hey, I’m not talking smack about anything. It’s just…well…meringue scares me.

Unless you were talking about someone else, in which case, never mind.
