I think that these types of Posts stir up more bad feelings than good ones. Not matter how well intentioned it starts out, it usually turns out poorly.

Having said that, I have more faith in this community to rise above it than I do in any other one that I am a part of, but I wanted to get my point across.

I'm not nearly as fun to be around in real life as I am Online.

Ever notice that at parties like these, as people become more drunk the loud ones get quiet and the quiet ones get loud?

I don't drink alcoholic stuff anymore. (I was at the end-all, of all parties and the morning after the night before I swore an oath never to repeat that fiasco.) But if you got Pepsi, I'm happy, and did I say I love 'Chips'? Big crispy-crunchy salty chips? It's my one vice (well maybe I have a few more )

One good thing about being 'sober' at parties is I make a very good observer, and I would never let someone drink and drive. So think of me as a co-host.

I just remembered, there is an alcoholic drink I do enjoy,.. Ameretto DiSaronno Originale. But it hardly counts, besides I like it with lots of crushed ice and we all know that crushed ice destroys the alcohol content right? Muahahahaha

BTW: DiSaronno tastes great as an Ice-Cream topping. Really, you should try it. It kind of tastes like a cherry topping. MMMmmMMmmmmm Good.

oops, am I babbling again?

Cheers!

Guys, seriously, don't worry about inviting me: I'll just crash it anyway.

I don't think people take these kind of things wrongly. Everyone knows that they are intended, not to exclude, but to provide humor, and I quite enjoy them. There MAY be some people offended by not being on "the list", but I think the vast majority really doesn't mind it!

Exactly, and those who do mind not being on "the list" should take comfort in the fact they didn't have to click through over 50 boxes

Edit: Notice for Dogscoff: Bring that stuff to the cantina stat! We have an emergency that not even cheesy red lights, claxons, sparking computers and exploding tubes that vent steam can begin to show the enormity of it

Ahhh, probably for the best....I'm underage and its a hell of a long way from British Columbia to Georgia!
The party's at AT's place, silly (or Loser seems to be volunteering now...). Portland, Oregon is a lot closer to BC than Georgia

And drinking age is an outdated relic from Prohibition-era, IMHO. Don't worry about it

Note: edited out Renegade's smileys... since when is there a limit of 8?
