Navigated the home safely car.
What a great party! Good people, good food and lotsa fun. Cranked some tunes on the flute, sax and gitfiddle. Took some blackmail photos (d@mn! I left the film with Kara), and generally made a nusiance of myself. Alla youse who didn’t make it may now kick yourselves in the butt.
That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.
Well, as I live only a big 5 minutes away, I just got home. Our “hostess with the mostess”-Sue- I got to see about 2 minutes- lovely AND charming (not to mention 1/2 drunk & sleepy). Zenster, Dubious, Oldscratch & Snoops were all still there (PS Guys, you are all sworn to secrecy as to my off-board occupation- REALLY). Great guys, but OS was SOOOO drunk. Zen left as I did. Great house, too, Sue!
So, see, I really DO exist! 
OS took some pics of my ugly phiz, also, to pollute the internet.
This was my first Dope thing. It was pretty cool to put some faces to some names. I discovered that Zenster isn’t aged 30 or so, which is what I had thought – I don’t know what in his posts had led me to believe that.
Yes! It was a fantabulous time! It was cool meeting the new people, and seeing old faces. Definately a good group we have in the Bay Area. I had a good time, even though OS kept pestering the hell out of me to get more drinks. He spent twenty minutes explaining the differences between sips to me, because he said if I took a sip, by his definition he’d stop bothering me about the drinks. I didnt take a sip to his specifications.
Anyway, by the end of the night he was pretty much tanked. He asked to go with me to my car, and then proceeded to fall asleep…for an hour and 15 minutes.He also seemed to have forgotten that he was going to crash at Sue’s and Zenster was going to come pick him up in the morning.
Anyway, Sue is one of the best hostesses, great food, and LOTS of free liquor! Her husband gets much props for organizing the thing. Wow, it was pretty damn nice.I really do hope she had a blast (Well, from the looks of it at the end of the night, she did :)). It was also nice meeting some of her RL friends and also some of her family.
As for me, I had a buzz going. I stopped early enough so I could drive home (despite old’s insistence I keep drinking). I was glad I was alert, because coming home I hit some pretty thick fog banks. Many spots so thick you could barely see 20 feet in front of you. It also looked like there was some accident or something (tons of CHP cars). Oh and I tried this gin that tasted like floor cleaner. Nasty ass shit! Also found a beer I like - Red Stripe (Jamaican). Anyway, I had a good time, as I always do at these doper bashes.
Oh and Demo, just as you wouldnt let me forget the first SF meeting, I wont let you forget missing this one! 
LOL
Don’t worry Danielinthewolvesden, I would never tell anybody about what you do with the donkeys and underage girls. I gotta ask though, do you really need all that rope and vegetable oil?
Here it is. Sunday mroning. Great party. Every post that was written during the party by various posters was a complete lie. Someone hacked into my account. Jack Batty’s recolection of Mah-Johng and lady fingers is the only accurate one.
Nah…
Great party, it was nice to meet Sue’s frineds and family. And a good time was enjoyed by all. Thanks to Sue for use of her house and computer.
I am so hung over.
I have two diet pepsi’s and an iced tea in me and I’m still shaking.
I think I’m gonna hurl.
I don’t remember meeting Danielinthewolvesden, thankfully I have pictures so I know he was here.
Apparently, my great-uncle came downstairs in his underwear before the party was over. I don’t know, I was passed out in my clothes by then.
I have a great picture of Jack Batty and wife french kissing. Cool.
Oh, I need to be in a reclining position. Excuse me.
Sounds like a great party, Sue. Almost makes me wish I lived in the Bay area. Almost. And, I missed Daniel, too. Drat the luck.
So, Daniel, what’s this about donkeys, underage girls, and lots of rope and veggie oil??? I see you’ve left a lot of details out of your description <or lack thereof> of what you do when you’re not posting here. 
And, oldscratch, what in the world was that stuff? Everyone who posted seems to be of the same opinion on it, so I want to know so I can avoid it at all costs. 
Btw, I really loved the drunken ramblings from everyone!
Sue’s party - the next day.
I just got up. I can only assume I’m concious because I can’t open my eyes and my head feels like it’s filled with pudding, but words are appearing on my computer screen and I hear a faint tapping of keys, so that’s a good sign.
What a great time Mrs. Batty and I had last night. Sue, you and your hubby are great hosts, you throw a helluva party, your house is beautiful and your daughter is a cutie patootie. Thanks for emailing that picture of me for addition to the People Pages - look for it soon. I leave it up to you as to what to do with the imfamous Mr./Mrs Batty tongue wrestling pic, but just remember how shy and retiring I am.
It was great to re-hook up with the Dopers I’d already met (Doob, OldScratch, Sue D.) and meet a few more new faces (Zenster, Snoooooooooooopy {I can never remember how many o’s to put in}). I’m sorry I missed Danielinthewolvesden.
I’m still trying to convince Mrs. Batty to register on the board. From the conversations/debates we had sitting around the table whilst drinking, I’d say she’d be a natural here. She wanted me to tell you all what a great time she had last night as well, and how much she enjoyed meeting everybody.
Finally I’d like to offer my condolences to OldScratch’s liver, which is undoubtedly non-functioning by now.
Oh yeah, I need to brag that I was the only Doper present who actually did get a turn in the jumpy-house, at least while it was still inflated - nyah nyah nyah.

Pssshhtt! Like I need reminding! I’m so jealous, I can just imagine Oldscratch forcing drinks on people (Like that bottle of tequila in SF! ;)) Looks like we missed a helluva party. Sue, hope you are recovered by next weekend!
Sounds like an amazing time, Sue. Sorry we couldn’t make it, and Happy Birthday!
I kind of figured you wouldnt remember meeting Daniel. You had passed out a bit earlier. And, your great-uncle did indeed come downstairs, In fact he came downstairs, saw me and old, and said he needed to talk to somebody, because it was a police matter. I think one of your relatives helped him out.
Oh and Demo, you SHOULD be jealous! LOL. Next time, no wack excuses like kids and already getting drunk! (just kidding)
And, I think Old Scratch is the devil. I’m sure he would try to tempt jesus into a life of partying, drugs, and sex!
Oldscratch isn’t the Devil. He just has a deviled liver, at least he did last night. I looked around for him so I could pour him back onto the train, and what the heck, nowhere in sight! Figured he hitched a ride in the Battymobile.
From what I can figure, he comes back into the house after his little nappy-pie and guess what? The buses and trains have both ceased to run! I had to pour myself a last Chambord fizz and siphon myself back to my house.
Great party Sue! Let us in on the police visit later on, after you get all of those little socks off of your teeth.
Lies, all lies… well mostly. As for the jackass… well, about the “one hoof clapping”.
Yes, Sue came down, looked at me blurrily, gave me a hug, the went back to bed. Altho I do often have that “I just met him & immediatly I think of bed” effect on lovely ladies, this was a new record for me.
OS gave me a test, turns out I’m not gay!
PB: you would have had a hoot. But I was only there for a bit.
