**Blaster** , after that outburst, I doubt anyone will need you. We’ll be in touch, though, if anybody finds him or herself in need of a drunken tirade. Find the ice? ---

Fine, fine. So… I don’t suppose I know anybody here. I hate it when that happens, I get invited to a party and plan to come with friends, but lately it always seems someone will cancel on me at the last minute. _extends right hand to greet **What Exit?** and **fachverwirrt** in turn_ ---

Anyone want me to run out and buy us some snacks to tide things over til the hosts get here? Bah, who am I kidding…I’d rather stay here and mingle. (Tell me more about those excellent wines!) I still think we may just be early, I’m sure they’ll be by anytime now. ---

[/QUOTE] I heard that! No, I didn’t find the ice. I couldn’t even find the icebox. I didn’t see any food either. By the way, who keeps their washer and dryer in the kitchen? Probably the same person who has a toilet seat upholsered in leather. Speaking of which, where’s the handle of this damed thing anyway? I can’t seem to figure out how to flush it. ---

Everyone just calm down already…I’m here with your drinks and snacks and I even brought a karaoke machine. In fact, I bet **fachverwirrt** would like that, because… **FACHVERWIRRT uses “borrowed” words (from non-English languages)** ---
