OK Lounge. I am giving a formal dinner party tonight and I want all of you

[Midlodemocrat]

to be on your best behavior. That means no shenanigans, highjinks, tomfoolery, monkeyshines, mischief, monkey business, funny business, machinations or skull duggery. I want you all to be very, very good for the party. Above all, NO LOUD THREADS!!!!! We want to listen to the classical music that shall be playing on my stereo.

That is all.

[anarch]

1. what about horseplay? can we do that?

[Midlodemocrat]

9. Yes. But don't wear your tiara

I am going with my emeralds and diamonds and I don't want you to outshine me.

[Fenris]

35. Fine. I'll wear my wimple.

[flamingyouth]

49. Do you mind if we sit on the couch and relax afterward?

[Midlodemocrat]

52. That would be fine.

But as I told you know who, you can't wear diamonds. I have to be the star.

[flamingyouth]

55. That's fine.

I just wanted an excuse to post that picture Fen's dad took because it's so weird looking. :D

[kick-ass-bob]

12. I'm not wearing pants.

Do you think I'll get in the door? Or should I break in an upstairs window?

[Midlodemocrat]

14. That's okay. I'll let you in.

[AllegroRondo]

44. The cleaning lady has a silver lurex ball dress you can borrow

(and if you can name what TV show that quote is from you get a prize)

[Misunderestimator]

56. I get to wear that funky dinner jacket of yours then.

[Midlodemocrat]

60. That's fine, but again, no tiaras.

This party is ALL ABOUT ME!!!!!!


:bounce:

[Misunderestimator]

61. Ok, then, I'll just wear my rhinestone tie!

:bounce:

[Midlodemocrat]

62. That will be acceptable.

Be here at 7 sharp, (without the cat, my dog will go nuts, sorry)

[Misunderestimator]

73. Ok, but when I have a party, you can't bring the dog :)

[Midlodemocrat]

74. Fair enough.

She'd just pee on your carpet anyway and we can't have that. Damn dog.

[texas1928]

7. WOO HOOO!!!!!!!

SEX THREADS!!!!! AND DEBAUCHERY

[maveric]

8. So "Hooliganism" is acceptable?

C'Mon, you gotta give us some slack!

[Midlodemocrat]

11. No. No hooligan like behavior will be tolerated.

[maveric]

45. Damn! Your no fun anymore!

:-(

[Midlodemocrat]

51. That is totally untrue.

I am TONS of fun!!!!!


Just ask around.


:bounce:

[Magrittes Pipe]

10. I have some ideas for what I shall do to the punch bowl.

:o

[Midlodemocrat]

13. Dude. No punch bowl.

I said "FORMAL"


:eyes:

[Magrittes Pipe]

19. Fine.

The finger bowls.

And the shrimp forks.

[Midlodemocrat]

22. There is no way you are getting in.

Absolutely no way. You scare me and you're half a country away.

[Magrittes Pipe]

31. I'll be your centerpiece. A living sculpture.

I'm thinking "Manneken pis."

[kick-ass-bob]

26. you loser. I got in without pants.

:eyes:

[northzax]

15. will there be streaking?

it ain't really a party unless there's streaking.

[Midlodemocrat]

18. What part of the phrase 'formal dinner party' are you having trouble with?

[northzax]

21. ok, sorry.

it's not a 'formal dinner party' unless there's streaking. better?

[Midlodemocrat]

25. How can there be streaking when Fenris is going to wear a ball gown?

Dude, try and keep up.

[northzax]

27. you didn't read it closely enough

he said he's wearing a little gown around his balls.

[Midlodemocrat]

37. "d'oH"

*smacks forehead*

No. He can't come in with just one of those. :scared:

[northzax]

48. i thought you'd prefer the streaking, see?

more natural like. what's more formal than a birthday suit with a bowtie?

[UrbScotty]

16. Oh, go Cheney yourself.

}(

[Call Me Wesley]

17. If the classical music

is something like 'The very best of the Three Tenors', then I might consider some monkey business ... ;)

[Midlodemocrat]

20. Nope. Vivaldi.

CMW - I said "FORMAL" didn't I?

[Call Me Wesley]

46. Well, I'm just making sure.

Vivaldi! :thumbsup: I'm there ...

[ohiosmith]

23. Can I bring this?

[Midlodemocrat]

40. No.

:eyes:

Formal. Dinner. Party. Not beer and chips with the guys.

[jane_pippin]

24. Oooh, we're gettin' fancy around here!

I'll be good.

I'll also steal some dinner rolls to take home with me, but you'll never even know it.

[Midlodemocrat]

29. No dinner rolls.

Seasoned greens, filet mignon with a port wine sauce, garlic smashed potates and sauteed veggies

and homemade cheesecake for dessert.

Shrimp Remoulade and Cosmos for appetizers.

Yippee!!!!!

[jane_pippin]

39. That sounds both hoity *and* toity. I'm in.

Keep an eye on that cheesecake though. :D

[Midlodemocrat]

41. Okay. Be here at 7.

[hyphenate]

28. What kind of fun stuff do you have planned?

I know games are a little low-brow, but perhaps a scavenger's hunt?

What kind of hors d'oervres are you serving? What's the main meal? (I don't eat pork or beef very much.)

Soup to nuts? Or a 3 course meal?

Who's playing in the background? Mozart? J.S. Bach? Beethoven? (Bach is good for parties!)

Any color scheme? Should I wear my ankle length emerald green dress with the diamonds, or the cobalt blue just under the knee, with the train? (It's not to the floor, thank goodness, because it would be ruined!)

Who else has been invited? And if George Clooney is there, can I sit next to him? I'm calling it first! :) If I can't sit next to Clooney, I wanna sit next to Jon Stewart instead.

[Midlodemocrat]

32. Sorry, I am sitting between George and Jon

you can sit on the other side of George.

I am wearing my emeralds and diamonds, and frankly, I don't want you to outshine me, so go with the cobalt blue.

Salad, filet mignon with a port wine sauce, garlic smashed potates and sauteed veggies.

Homemade cheesecake for dessert.

Shrimp remoulade for hors d'oeuvres.

And cosmos, lots of cosmos.

:bounce:

[hyphenate]

42. That's cool.

I can keep George busy when you aren't. :evilgrin:

The cobalt blue one is nice. Nice decolletage.

Everything sounds great! What time do you expect us?

[Midlodemocrat]

53. We will start with the hors d'ouevres about 7PM

By the time everyone has ingested four or five cosmos, we'll move on to the salad.


:bounce:

[terrya]

30. I'm always on my best behavior.

I have to be. :-)

[Midlodemocrat]

34. That's why you are invited.

but not hedges. :scared:

[FuzzySlippers]

33. Should I tell the Brazilian joke

before, during or after dinner, or all three?

[Magrittes Pipe]

36. Should I show off my Brazilian

before, during or after dinner, or all three?

[Midlodemocrat]

38. I would prefer it if you acted it out

sort of like charades. Just to keep things interesting.

[trof]

43. How about silly buggers? Can I play at silly buggers?

I'll wear my tux.
:-)

[Midlodemocrat]

63. I have a feeling that silly buggers is a game

which could result in tomfoolery or highjinks, so no.

[trof]

77. Could we compromise on jackanapes?

At least say "We'll see"?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

47. My dear Midlo! Funniest. Thread. Evah!

I'll be good.....promise! *fingers crossed....*

Can I come too? I don't have too many fancy ball dresses....but I do have a lovely floor-length blue silk dress that I had made for my oldest daughter's wedding....

:woohoo: :woohoo:

[Midlodemocrat]

50. Yes. But, no tiara

I can't have both you and Fenris outshining moi!!!!

:bounce:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

54. No worries!

I don't own a tiara!

Besides, there's no way I could outshine you, my dear Midlo!

:bounce: :bounce:

[greatauntoftriplets]

57. You're giving a formal dinner party and didn't invite me?

I've got my best dress all ready to go...pink silk, long full skirt with a little apple green underskirt for a flirty look.

And I know which knife and fork to use and not to slurp my vino.

:)

[Midlodemocrat]

58. Of course you are invited.

Be here at 7.

:bounce:

[greatauntoftriplets]

59. Thank you! Dinner sounds yummy.

Can't wait to see your emeralds and diamonds.

:hi:

[madinmaryland]

64. Can I bring three brazilian people?

They are not shenanigans, highjinks, tomfoolery, monkeyshines, mischief, monkey business, funny business, machinations or skull duggery, and are into classical music.

:evilgrin:

[Midlodemocrat]

65. How many is a brazilian, again?

Not sure if I will have the room, but what the heck, sure.

[madinmaryland]

79. Let me check with them...

[underpants]

66. What about the flaming poo?

[Midlodemocrat]

67. There will be no poo.

:eyes:

[Fleshdancer]

68. pssst....Midlodemocrat, come over here.....

*whispers* I just want you to know that a small group of loungers are secretly planning a few ill timed shenanigans and funny business. I haven't heard of any tomfoolery, so that's good, but just be careful, ok?

[Midlodemocrat]

69. psssst - GloriaSmith, over here.....

*whispers back* I heard the same thing. I plan to keep tabs on them via my blackberry. Don't say anything.

[Fleshdancer]

72. psst...ok! Just let me know if you need my help. n/t

[LaurenG]

70. You aren't serving yucky food with that clasical music are you

like caviar and weird stuff right.

[Midlodemocrat]

71. OhioBlues, I am appalled that you would think I would

serve anything yucky.

Filet mignon with port wine sauce baby!


And cosmos, lots and lots of cosmos!!!!!

[Callalily]

75. Formal huh!

Well then, I'll just bring out the prim and proper lampshade right away.



Oh yes, and my little black dress!


Ohhhhhhhh . . . look out! :rofl:

[Midlodemocrat]

76. Are you planning to dance on the dining room table?

Cause that would pose a bit of a problem.

[Callalily]

78. I'll have you know

that I'm a trained dancer, so I see no problem at all .

And I am very light on my feet!

[southlandshari]

80. Does this mean

you will actually be drinking wine out of real bottles?

:wow:


:hi:

[Midlodemocrat]

81. Yup, and cosmos, too.
