Friday Distractions
Too depressing around here lately. Time to break out some snacks and blow-up the pool toys and unwind a bit.
A good party will have to start off with good snacking opportunities. Lots of variety, because everyone likes something different. Bamboo shoots might work for some, but the rest of us need chips and dip and cool, refreshing umbrella drinks. Given enough time, we would bring in Snackmaster Micky for a consult. The bacon-wrapped waterchestnuts he recommended for a Christmas party last year are still fondly remembered; the man is a genius.
Since this is a summer party, guests will want to get wet too. Especially since there’s no A/C here at casa. Plenty of floaty toys will have to be inflated, in case guests get a tad possessive. Rumor has it the such things can happen, especially if the umbrella drinks have been effective.
Proper guest selection is also important. Someone a bit flighty can keep things entertaining, especially if they’re someone who has named themselves after their breasts. Inviting people who like to get naked is important too. As long as they’re the ones others enjoy seeing naked, it helps everyone have a better time. The umbrella drinks can help on this point too – more umbrella drinks lead to less fabric. Some research may have to be done to determine the optimum ratio, but in the end, the outcome should be worth the effort invested.
Of course, not everything has earned the right to be nekkid. Use discretion where appropriate. And in an advertising trait I’ve noticed *cough* elsewhere, even the zoo overhypes their nudity. A little footnote on the next sign over noted that the mole rats weren’t completely nude, but had around one hundred hairs around their mouths and nose. I guess that’s the animal kingdom’s equivalent of pasties.
Just in case it’s not obvious yet, I was feeling a bit fidgety this morning and went to the zoo to watch the cool animals. Had a good time and really enjoyed watching the tigers out playing.
You know, I’m starting to think that this “San Diego Zoo” of yours might almost be as good as my Bronx Zoo.
Almost…
I never received the invite to your party! Aren’t MFCU public computers great?
