Get 2 Choppin

For those of you that missed it (and apparently it was all of you) I recently threw a party at my place this past Saturday. I sent invites out to all my friends but something must have happened along the way because not one person showed up which left the host with the most, John E. Bravo, a bit saddened but I wasn't about to let that rain on my parade. I went all out for this party and even made a huge banner that read, "We don't need no stinkin' drinkin' to have fun" so I figured what the hell.

It started off with some finger food and some conversation starter lotto. I placed a bunch of topics in a hat that I had pre written and I randomly pulled out a topic for everyone to discuss amongst themselves. The first one I pulled out was, "If you were a non alcoholic drink, what would you be?" This was a tough one but thinking about my imposing physique I would have to say a whey protein shake with some honey and peanut butter because I'm sweet, a bit nutty, and whey cool. I'm not going to lie but that got a few laughs from the crowd, yours included.

After the formal introductions were over and everyone was feeling comfortable with each other it was time for a game of pin the tail on the designated driving donkey (because no one wants to be an ass but sometimes it is necessary to take the keys). All I can say about this game is ouch!

It was time for a little music to really get the party thumping. I decided to play my version of the safety dance. It goes:

You can drink and drive if you want to

You can leave your friends behind

but if you drink and then you drive thinking your fine

well then you're no friend of mine

Do the safety dance, do the safety dance

and take those keys out of your pants

and hand them to a friend

that knows how to say when

so you don't end up in the pen.

I wish more people could have been there it was a really sobering experience. The only regret was not getting to play a game of spin the non-alcoholic bottle. Oh well maybe next time.
