Oh no, look what the lesbians are doing with the light sabers. ---

Wait, let me get the lens cap off the video camera! [sounds of struggling] There we go…wait, the lighting isn’t very good over here…could all you lesbians please move a little to the left? Thanks! And could someone get me another beer…I’m kind of busy over here. ---

Look, keep the camera away from me for now. I don’t yet know if I’m married or in a lesbian relationship, so until I know I don’t intend to be caught on tape. And light sabers are a phallic symbol, aren’t they? ---

The room is furnished, but if you have your own bedroom stuff, I can store it in the garage. And I want a copy of that tape! ---

Wow. This got out of hand quickly! This lesbian is hooking up her XBOX to the 54 inch flat screen digital TV and wondering who wants to play Halo against her on one of the _other_ 54 inch flat screen digital TVs? Let’s go kick some Flood ass! Tibs. ---

Does this mean we can happily ride off into the sunset? Yay! As soon as I finish this game of Hearts. And the ice cream. And the Halo game. Oh, the joys of being single…I don’t think random pairing of people contradicts Singledom, by the way. Not if hot tubs are involved. And **Bippy** , you can always count me in for a drink. ---

Vodka-Cointreau-Blue Curacao and a tiny drip of pure orange oil crack the ice, in the shaker, and SHAKE… brrrrr s’cold. Anyone who doesn’t like sweet coctails, I’ll mix Vodka-Tinis next. ---

**Sunspace** : See what you made me do? Now you’ve made me choke on my wine. And who’ll clean my keyboard now, may I ask? But I guess that’s a good thing. I like funny in a guy. Or “other”… could be interesting 🙂 **Bippy** : I’ll hang on till the Vodka-Tinis. ---

**Einmon** do you have any olives in the fridge? oh and any coctail sticks ? Starts mixing the 6 pints of Vodka, a teaspoon of dry martini, and a slice of lemon skin, with reusable icecubes (to stop the drink getting diluted). ---

_rummage_ Yes, I have olives…no cocktail sticks, though. Oh well, let’s just screw the decorative aspect and throw them right in. Let’s not get carried away with the lemon, though. Too much vitamin C can be unhealthy, ya know? Especially after I ate all them veggies. With dip. ---

Hey…anybody left to pair up with me? I’m female. And what’s a Blue Monday Nightcap? I’ve never heard of one of those before. And I just looooove olives. Oh, and, while everyone was bringing music (before the orgy broke out, that is), I ran and got my kick-butt CDs of various Brazilian artists. Who rock completely. ---

If it’s any consolation, Amp, I’m a pretty lousy drunk, too. After one beer, I’m usually ready to fall asleep. Pathetic, I know. I know it sucks to be dumped, Amp, my friend, but look at it this way. It’s his loss. 😉 ---
