Snippets From A Coctail Party.

I was working on a different type deal for this- but as soon as I had commented on Evan's post- I had a light-bulb moment...so here it is, Evan.

****************************************
Hubby and I attended a cocktail party at our friends house.
As I glided around the house holding a glass of Chardonnay, I soaked up the bit's and pieces of conversations going on in the various groups.

"... I asked him if Enzyte really works. Next thing I knew, he whipped it out and said "Here, see for yourself"..." I passed on that conversation- TMI-TMI!!!!

"... I'm not one of those puritans who thinks pornography is bad. In fact, I'd love to see Alyssa Milano do an episode of Charmed where they all get naked and have forbidden sister sex..." I think hubby might have sotopped in on that one for a minute or two before moving on.

"... he said "Dude, I can't believe you voted for Obama. Bush is a much better candidate." That shows how much he knew about this election..." Nope- Passed on this conversation as well, I was hoping the politics were over.....until he got in office anyway.

"... it wasn't just a google bomb. He really was a miserable failure..." I think I refilled my glass at this point. Half the people there looked like they were into their 2nd BOTTLE, to be honest and I wondered if they would even remember any of their reramrks in the morning. At least they weren't getting redneck like some of the paries I've attended.

"...it's not just racial hatred. It's a roundabout form of population control. Whether it's the gang-bangers, the Arabs, whoever, I say we quit stepping in and let them kill each other. We can step in after they're all dead..." Oops- another political conversation......and from the looks of things might be about to get redneck.

"... screw unemployment. I hear the Army is always hiring..." Now there's an idea- the Army as a place of employment. They need to have commitment before they go joining the army altho i DO think everyone-male and female alike shoud be required to give the country a year of their life and learn some discipline and respect before being unleased on the general population. But that's just MY opinion.

"... okay, I may have lost some money, but look at how much the super-rich lost. Poor little rich kids..." Yeah- Poor litle rich kids my Aunt Fanny.

"... Metallica's new album is the greatest thing since..." I won't even GO here.....

"... Microsoft's new game. The motto is "If you want to sing, you've got to have lips." Does that mean that only women can sing?..." At this point I was wondering if Evan was going to break out the Rock Band equipment. As varied as these people were- there had to be some talent amongst them.

"... that wasn't exactly age-appropriate..." This from a couple of middle aged, overweight dyed blondes in skintight spandex dresses. Yeah- look in the mirror sisters- THEN talk about age appropriateness.

"... somehow I ended up at whitehouse.com. Let me tell you, that site had NOTHING to do with the Federal Government..." Note to self- Google "whitehouse.com" when I have a spare minute.

"... met Robert Pattinson... you know, the guy who played Edward in Twilight. We got to chat for about 30 minutes. He was really surprised by the sudden fame brought to him by this role. He seemed genuinely relieved that I didn't know immediately who he was..." I don't see the hype- they certainly could have cast a more "pretty" guy for the role...but maybe that's the appeal.....I haven't seen the movie yet- just the trailers.

"... tell me THAT phrase isn't going to get a lot of hits from the teenie-bopper crowd..." I assumed THAT crowd was talking about Twilight as well...... I gotta go SEE that movie.

"... most sexy, voluptuous, wonderful woman I had ever met. The ad was true. Beats the hell out of match.com and their endless survey, only to hear that I didn't match with anyone..." Didn't stick around to find out what her personality was like.... i just don't GET the advertising for a mate deal anyway. I mean if me and hubby did the online dating servive- there's no WAY we would have been matched up. And I know this couple at work who were matched up and they dispise each other....well, maybe that's being a bit harsh- but they definately don't belong together....Not at ALL!!

"... told me the funniest joke in the world. I guess it was just me. I thought the joke was lame, but lo and behold, Google said it was the funniest joke in the world, so it must be true..." Yeah- and i'm the Queen Mother.... do you believe everything you READ or see on the NET???

"... would have never thought that Jack Nicholson's Joker could be topped. Heath Ledger kicked his ass though. They say that drove him over the edge... he looked into the abyss of the Joker's mind and never quite came back..." LOL- Did anyone ever think maybe it was honestly, truly, just an ACCIDENTAL overdose? I saw the movie and I don't think he was THAT into the persona.

"... I can understand how people overdose. I see the attraction brought on by the instant gratification of drug use. I did a lot of drugs. Fortunately, I listened to the little voice in my head that told me to stop before it was too late. I know too many people who didn't listen..." Same group- differnt persons opinion.

"... but who cares. Yeah, heaven may be eternal bliss, but no matter how you slice it, eternal salvation looks absolutely boring. Hell looks like a far greater adventure, and I get to have fun here and now while I seal my fate..." Well, now there's a TRUE believer!!!

"... you too can find out which keywords drive the most traffic to your web site..." Wonder what bussiness THEY'RE pitching.


Someone had turned the TV on for some ungodly reason at that point and I cringed as I heard.....
"... but you've got to act now. Operators are standing by..........." I think T.V's should be locked away for parties- they just completely spoil the mood of a PERFECT Cocktail Party.

Time to go home now.........How can you choose from all those conversations?

Next time, Evan- Can you make it a POOL PARTY???
