Let’s see… what fun have I missed out on while I went to procure even more entertainment? Apparently, quite a lot, from what I’ve read. No problem, I’ll just jump right back into the swing of things. Literally, even… my brother and I have been known to take leaps off stairs for fun. (and, in his case, take flying leaps off stairs to scare our friends by grabbing them by the shoulders and then yelling in their ears, but I don’t do that) So I’ll just jump into the kitchen and… _thump_! Whoops, sorry about that, **ozonebaby** and **JBERGES**! Continue your dance lessons! (though maybe I might need them in the future, as uncoordinated as I appear to be) Maybe I’ll just leap into the living room instead… AAAAAHHH!! Why is the floor so semi-slippery? **RaCha’ar** didn’t manage to oil a large part of the floor while she was at it, did she? I certainly hope not! Actually, I think I’ll need **neofishboy** to help me with my kinks and bruises when he’s done with **RaCha’ar**. Hey, if I could slip and fall on someone’s kitchen floor in real life on Sunday afternoon, I can certainly do it virtually as well. 😃 Don’t worry, though… I’m all right. Now, where did that new stuff get to? Ah yes, it’s right here in the rec room… perfect! Who wants to sing karaoke? I’ve got a LOT of microphones, VCDs, laserdiscs, etc. to go with this big honkin’ karaoke machine I’ve set up! Of course, we could just watch the videos, but it’s more fun to sing! Come on, I don’t want to be singing “With or Without You” all by myself… doesn’t anyone want to sing? No? Well, I’ll just leave the machine hooked up while I go see what I can do about changing the ambient music! ---

I’ll sing with ya’, \*\*Flamsterette\_X. \*\*You got the karaoke for Elvis’s: “Good Rockin’ Tonight”? Old, I know, but it seems to suit the situation. Or maybe we should ask **ozonebaby** and \*\*JBERGES \*\* what they want to dance to? They look kinda’ sweet, teachin’ each other as they go… After the karaoke’s done, what say the two of us get in the line for Body Shots? I’m about ready for another go at that. 😉 ---

Hey, I’ve got a bunch of things, **John**! Elvis’ “Good Rockin’ Tonight” is certainly in there somewhere… now I have to find which disc it’s on. **ozonebaby** , I’m sure you’re perfectly normal! 🙂 Don’t let **John** get to you, okay? ---

It just seems like you’ve been kinda’, like, _hyper_ since the Body Shot[sup] **TM** [/sup] incident. Keep on teaching **JBERGES** to dance. You’re both on the right track there…yeah, that’s right, the shape both of you are in from your recent experiences, I think it’s correct to do the fast dancing first. Get loosened up a little, OK? In a few minutes **Flamsterette\_X** and I will sing a real slow one, and y’all can do the tummy rubbing stuff then. Right now, considering JBERGES close encounter with **RaCha’ar** and your reaction to the body shot, I believe the fast dancing is best. 😉 “I heard the news, there’s good rockin’ tonight” ---

Hmmm…This party seems to be dying out… How many people are left here? 6? 8? Well, I’m still here, and I’m staying until I’m forced out by an unruly mob. Right now I’m waiting for **John** to start singing, because I’ve had just about enough dancing for now. Thanks for the help, **ozonebaby**! ---

I bought another banana split. I wonder how it would go with baby oil? Say, **RaCha’ar** , c’mere a minute. Now this might feel a little cold… ---

Whew! Sorry I’ve been outside for so long. They had one of those packs of bottle rockets with like a thousand in it, and there’s been a really cool bottle rocket fight. It went along alright for a while, but then everybody started pickin’ on the mods. Poor ol’ Uncle Beer really got popped and blistered up pretty good. I think his eyes will be alright. Maybe. Who knew he would keep his eyes wide open in a bottle rocket fight? It’s hard to feel sorry for some people. **White Lightning** : Are you still the bar tender? Do not, I repeat, **do not** give **Mudshark** any more daquiris! See previous post for a valid reason. Since **ozonebeby** is now a veteran of the body shot game, I think she should take **JBERGES** over there and initiate him properly. Do something a little…innovative, ya’ know? Who wants to join the karaoke for Joan Jett’s: “I Love Rock And Roll”? ---

You’ll be sayin’: "Oh, man, I can’t _believe_ I got that drunk and did all that stuff. I typed _that_ ? Oh my God! What else did I do?

Ok, **Mudshark** , if you’re that much into surrealism, get a glass of **Nenya\_Elizabeth** ’s peach iced tea. _Peach_ iced tea? Woah! Nenya; you gonna’ do some body shots with that stuff?
