Hi everyone. I think the first thing we should do is lynch **Zoggie**. Hmmm. Wait. Wrong game? Still. I’ve got my eye on her. ---

Two down already! Yikes! Guess we’ll have to watch what we say! Don’t bother to try to get me drunk, though – I don’t drink. Ya got any pop? I’d love a Diet Dr Pepper if you’ve got one. **rummages through the cans in the cooler** Ooh! And those mini-quiches look divine! ---

Damn, **WhatExit?** …you’re coming off really nerdy always dropping **Lord of the Rings** references into everything you say. (official guess, more in the spirit of the party) But I guess if you’re going to be really nerdy, an SMDB party is the place to be 🙂 ---

**Zoggie** , are you ok? You sound a little confused… I haven’t allowed lynching at my parties since 1926, anyway. **twickster** I guess drinking and karaoke kind of go hand-in-hand. If you don’t like karaoke, you surely won’t like it while sober! Just hang out and watch **Antinor01** act like a fool. That’s really the best thing a sober person can do at a karaoke party anyway 🙂 ---

[QUOTE=ZipperJJ] B]Antinor01\*\*…glad you stuck around. I woulda missed you if you left. Have you met anyone else? [/QUOTE] Hi there! That’s why I stayed of course, I knew you’d miss me. 😉 I do recognize a few people around here from another party I was at, but there a seem to be a couple new faces as well. But that’s what a party is all about right? (well, the drinking and karaoke help too.) 😃 ---

I think I need to be a little more subtle in future games. More like Aragorn than Boromir. 😉 My official quirk was to be a Middle-Earth bore. Always turning the subject to Middle-Earth somehow. Technically, many of my references were not from the Lord of the Rings, but from the Hobbit or even a Led Zeppelin song partially about Middle-Earth. (Just to complete the bore part). ---

[QUOTE=ZipperJJ] **twickster** I guess drinking and karaoke kind of go hand-in-hand. If you don’t like karaoke, you surely won’t like it while sober! [/QUOTE] That explains it, then – they invented (imported?) karaoke after I got sober. Oh well, I always find something to amuse myself with at parties. Did anyone bring a deck of cards? We could play hearts, or crazy eights, or war, or go fish, or … ---

Gosh, sorry I;m so late,everyone. After my plane got shot down, I wound up on the far side of a massive jungle from this place. Happily, I had my lucky pith helmet and machete handy. I had to ford streams, hack my way through underbrush and risk many terrible trials to get here. Does anybody have a snakebite kit? I’m feeling a bit woozy. ---

You forded the streams? You should have taken your kayak. **shakes head disbelievingly** Here, I’ll go check the medicine cabinet – maybe they’ll have a snakebit kit – or at least some aspirin or something. ---

Well, I’ll humour our fair host and join in the karaoke. Just one song, though: \*Well I was sitting, waiting, wishing You believed in superstitions Then maybe you’d see the signs The Lord knows that this world is cruel I ain’t the Lord, no I’m just a fool Learning lovin’ somebody don’t make them love you Must I always be waiting, waiting on you Must I always be playing, playing your fool \* ---
