Ok, ok, i’ll wash the sheets and bring 'em back tomorrow! **White Lightning** , honey, where’d you get to? Cos that first daiquiri was FANTASTIC - don’t suppose I could have another one? I was drunk and embarrassing enough IRL on Friday night… don’t see any harm in a little virtual drunken embarrassment to go with it! ---

This is what you get when you don’t preview half the time because you’re afraid the connection will time out on you or something… what I **meant** to say was : “ **I’m** always up for something new!” ---

It’s there? Oh yeah, well, indeed it is. How’s the _Everclear_ holdin’ up, **ozonebaby**? Ready for a refill?😉 **White Lightning** really does need to get back around here. My JD and Coke is runnin’ low, and **tritone** needs another daiquiri… Hey, now somebody’s playin: “Nights in White Satin” (NOT purple). Anybody wanna’ dance a little slow drag to that one? 😃 ---

::wakes up:: Hey…what did I miss? ::realizes someone has locked him in the closet:: Huh? What’s going on? _knock knock knock knock_ Guys? _knock knock knock knock_ C’mon!

Durn, just my luck! The only other person in this place that wants to dance is a guy, and even he’s locked in the closet! **ozonebaby** , you’re supposed to know what gives around this joint. Where’s the key to the closet door? Let the dude out, maybe he knows something you want to dance to, since “Nights In White Satin” didn’t seem to suit your taste. Hang on **JBERGES** I think help is on the way. **White Lightning**! Yoo-hoo; we need ya’, man. All these glasses are gettin’ empty. “Women and whiskey are in short supply There’s not enough dope for us all to get high But things willl get better, that’s what they say…”~~Jimmy Buffett ---

Empty glasses? The horror! I apologize, y’all. Don’t know what got into me. Here’s that JD and Coke, here’s a whole batch of daquiris, **tritone** , please forgive me. I’m sure I can make it up to you somehow. **pravnik** – double of what? Bartender’s choice? Here ya go. Bottoms up! Guys, this round is on me, as reparations for my truancy. Even you over there in the closet, **JBERGES**! We can’t quite hear you in there, so just knock once for vodka, twice for tequila. Zero knocks is whiskey. Speaking of tequila, I think it’s time to organize a round of body shots. We seem to have a roughly even distribution at the moment, so why don’t we go grade school and line up boy-girl-boy-girl. Here’s the salt. Here’s some limes. What do you guys think? ---

Wow, you all are throwing a party in honor of my graduating college? I’m flattered. That is what this party is for, right? No? Oh, what the hell. Make me a drink anyway, **White Lightning**. I’ll take a sake martini. No, seriously. Who’s up for naked Twister? I got the baby oil right here… [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-nothing-post/106193.md?page=5) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-nothing-post/106193.md?page=7)
