Step Inside for my 1000th Post Party!

How lovely to see you! Thank you for coming…you can leave your coats right over there.

There’s a lot happening here, so let me just give you a few tips.

We have a lot of food. There’s carved duck and roast beef and boiled shrimp and crab claws, as well as veggies with ranch dip and sliced fruit with a raspberry yogurt dip for our vegetarian Dopers. There’s also a large variety of pastas with different sauces. Wolfgang and Emeril are hard at work in the kitchens, so dig in.

Oh, that? That’s our dessert and coffee table. Like the Krispy Kreme tower cake? The donuts are fresh and hot, and thanks to the latest Star Trek technology, they will stay fresh and hot for the duration of the party. We also have a nice variety of biscotti, cookies, cakes, pies, and pastries, as well as about two dozen different flavors of coffees and teas.

There’s a full bar over there, and we have sodas and fruit juices and virgin drinks for our Recovering Dopers. There’s also Guiness and Fosters on tap, and warm sake’ as well. Remember, if you drink, don’t drive. I will confiscate your car keys.

Down the hall to your left is a room with two 50 inch screen TV’s. One is hooked up to an Xbox, the other, to a PS2. We have a wide variety of games. Please remember to take turns.

Across the hall from the Video Game room is a Massage Room, where herbal wraps and sea salt facial scrubs are also being offered. Enjoy.

At the end of the corridor is the Mud Wrestling Room. To participate, please pay Sven $10. The proceeds will go to the Society for the Care and Feeding of the Straight Dope Hamsters.

To your right is a lecture room, where we continue our ever popular “Ask The” series. There is a whiteboard, video tape player, and computer if you have visual aids.

Across the lecture room you will find a temperature and humidity controlled room, stocked with a large selection of the finest hand rolled cigars. Sherry and port are also available, and Gabrielle will help you with your choices.

Since it’s Christmas, the band will be playing mostly holiday music, but they will take requests. I also have a karoake machine if anyone wants to sing along.

Upstairs we’re screening Lord of the Rings Two Towers. It will be playing all night, so if you miss the first showing, don’t fret. In theatres II and III we will be showing the first season of 24 and the back episodes of the Sopranos, if anyone missed those. Theatre IV will be showing episodes of The Simpsons. Popcorn and jujubes will be provided.

Enjoy yourselves, and you need anything, let me know and I will contact our Party Co-ordinator, Ramon. Thank you again for coming!

I was going to boycott this party on the principle of you eating one of my favorite animals (the duck) :wink: but who can resist The Two Towers, Simpsons, and massages?

Congrats on the 1000!

Thanks for coming, beegirl! I can get some carved turkey if you would prefer that.

Enjoy the massage. I understand there’s a mudbath too in there.

I don’t care for Post Party threads and haven’t posted in one (could just be jealousy), but I likes ya ivy so congratulations and save me a place near the dessert table. :slight_smile:

Thanks for the offer, ivy. I just may nibble on some turkey, but will probably stay near the dessert table with cichlidiot anyway :smiley:

::goes off to enjoy the mudbath before it gets too crowded::

I brought icewine. Should I put it by the bar? And who hired the dancing gorilla?

I think you should put in a hot tub over there, *ivy. And a cold splash.

I’m going to go have a massage. Great party!

Lissa you can give the icewine to the cute bartender over there. As far as the dancing gorilla, if he doesn’t behave and start bussing the tables, it’s back to the zoo for him.

The hot tub is out on the lanai, along with the flaming torches and steel drums. Cold splash? You’ll have to enlighten me on that one before I speak to Ramon.

Congrats on 1000 posts, ivylass! You and I both registered the same month and I have around 300 posts, shows how much of a lurker I am!

Anyway, where do you want me to put the Jell-O Mold I made?

:slight_smile:

Put it with the rest of the desserts, blink, thanks for bringing it! I think the next episode of 24 is starting…better hurry.

Looks like your 1010 post party to me. :smiley:

Well, World, I’ve been busy welcoming everyone, hence the higher count. Would you like Gabrielle to set you up with a nice cigar?

Mazel tav, Ivylass. I brought a nice kish!
