If the Lounge were a party, where would you be?

[SallyMander]

Corner of the room? By the punch bowl? Chatting with a small group?

On the table with a lampshade on your head? :rofl:


You might find me on the dance floor, depending on the musical selection!


:party: :party: :party:

[YellowRubberDuckie]

1. In the study debating with the nerds about something...

...that has absolutely nothing to do with politics.
Duckie

[SallyMander]

10. My parties always seem to have this component...

Usually it's science nerds, since many of us are in biology. MrMander and i once got into a drunken brawl over whether or not barnacles have legs. No joke. :rofl:

[YellowRubberDuckie]

[VenusRising]

57. You're both right.

Now shut up and have another drink! :P

:rofl:

[SallyMander]

60. MrMander maintains that he won

I say they are APPENDAGES, because barnacles are SESSILE, and do not walk on them. So there!!!

:rofl:

[VenusRising]

67. And appendages are different than legs?

:think:

No more drinks for you. Pretty soon I won't have arms to type with. :rofl::rofl::rofl:


:loveya::hug:

[SallyMander]

69. Yeah! Legs are appendages

But not all appendages are legs. It's like squares and rectangles. :D

Really we just like arguing, that's what it comes down to. :rofl:

:hug:

:loveya:

p.s. You'd better be at this party too lady!!!

[VenusRising]

73. I'm not usually a party person.

But since it's your party, I would probably either be in the kitchen making sure that everyone has food or out by the stage where the band is cause ZI plays bass. I'm sure he and opiate69 would have a monster jam session. :)

[SallyMander]

74. Nice! And SPK can get up there and croon a tune

since he is the Lounge singer :D

:hug:

[Solon]

2. I would be the drunk guy passed out IN the punch bowl. n/t

[SallyMander]

11. LOL -- ok, you will be equipped with a snorkel

when you walk in. :D

[Solon]

32. Well, its either that or...

I was going to go in the corner and pleasure as many ladies as possible. :D

[EstimatedProphet]

3. At home.

[SallyMander]

13. Aww, but it would be fun!

Can i entice you with homemade guacamole? :D

[EstimatedProphet]

29. No, but alcohol would do the trick.

[lost-in-nj]

4. I would be standing

by the couch with a beer in my hand...
talking
and kinda being shy
but trying to meet everyone....


lost

oh and I would dance......

[SallyMander]

14. Then i'd be by the couch too

Cuz i'd love to meet you! :pals:

[SPKrazy]

75. hey baby, wanna dance?

:woohoo:

:hi:

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

5. Standing by the hors d'œuvres table, stuffing my face

and hoping maybe someone might talk to me.

[Wapsie B]

7. Yeah, me too.

Pass the dip please.

[Mrs.Matcom]

6. Behind the bar mixing drinks!

Matcom & I always end up being the bartenders! We have a ball doing it. :hi:

[SallyMander]

15. Nice! You guys are DEFINITELY invited!

:D

Do you have a bartending book, or do you just wing it?

:hi:

[Mrs.Matcom]

30. Together we have over 15 years experience

bar tending! We met working in the same restaurant. I was a bartender and he was a waiter. That was 14 years ago, wow how time flies! LOL! Sure we'd be happy to bartend for you :D

[SallyMander]

33. Aww, that's great!

What a cute story -- so who eventually worked up the nerve to ask for a date? :)

[Mrs.Matcom]

54. I think I did...although

if I remember it correctly, he walked me to my car after work, and I asked him if he was ever going to kiss me goodnight. He obliged and the rest is history. He is a bit younger than I am, and as he tells it "he was naive!" yeah, right! :eyes: LOL!

[SallyMander]

62. Clearly you took advantage of him!

:rofl:

[Jamastiene]

127. Make my screwdriver with double the vodka, please.

:hi: Y'all are my favorite people at the party already. :D

[rug]

8. Arguing with the cops at the front door.

[SallyMander]

16. Ish there a prowblm, ocifer?

:rofl:

[opiate69]

9. Out back on the deck having a smoke.. either that or on the stage playing music

[SallyMander]

18. Woohoo! We have bartenders AND a musician???

We are totally set! :D

What do you play?

[opiate69]

21. I play guitar...

just make sure the stage is nice and close to the bar!

[SallyMander]

23. You bet! I'll even bring you drinks!

:toast:

[opiate69]

25. w00t!

:toast: :beer:

[bicentennial_baby]

12. In the host's bedroom, having sex with someone

I shouldn't be having sex with... :rofl:

[SallyMander]

22. .

:spray:


I won't tell -- as long as it's not my bed. ;)

:rofl:

[DS1]

24. HIYO!!!!

:D

[bicentennial_baby]

38. Hey, I'm honest like that...

hence why I avoid parties :rofl:

[SammyWinstonJack]

36. Yeah, you're real transparent.

:wow:

[SarahB]

85. I suppose it's "good" we've never been to a party together.

;)

[bicentennial_baby]

89. Ha!

yes ;)

[RetroLounge]

97. Wanna go to a party?

:evilgrin:

RL

[bicentennial_baby]

99. Sure thing hotstuff...

I'll make sure to wear these:



I have them in black :evilgrin:

[RetroLounge]

100. Damn. Just. Damn...

Pick you up at 8...

:D

RL

[bicentennial_baby]

102. And my ass actually looks that good in them

:D

Sounds good, I'll be waiting. :evilgrin:

[Jamastiene]

128. Damn, RL got to you first.

:P

[bicentennial_baby]

134. S'ok babe, I have time on my schedule...

:evilgrin:

[Jamastiene]

176. Nice!!!

I shall be drooling, er, I mean, waiting patiently for my turn. :pals: :evilgrin:

[HuskerDU]

17. Probably doing tapper shots in the basement by the keg.

With an occasional visit to the 'green' room.

[SallyMander]

26. So later in the night

You might be the guy passed out in the backyard? :D

[HuskerDU]

39. Hahahahaha!

I usually made it home somehow, but not always!

[Zookeeper]

19. On the dance floor...

the only way I can actually enjoy a party.

[SallyMander]

27. Excellent

Then i won't be alone. :D

What kind of music do you like?

[Zookeeper]

65. Anything with a beat....

See ya on the dance floor, Sally!

:hi:

[DS1]

20. Behind the bar, pounding Mrs. Matcom

's drinks




:D

[SallyMander]

28. .

:spray:


Nice.

[SPKrazy]

31. I'd be singing and dancing

i am after all the lounge singer

:P

:rofl:


:hi:

:evilgrin:


watch out for the toilet in the corner, it just flushes straight down to GD, don't let it splash you :rofl:

[SallyMander]

37. OK, i want a duet

from you and opiate69

:D

[Bennyboy]

34. Workin the chicks.....

at first..
hiding from a jealous husband/boyfriend later....

Same story...happened a couple of weeks ago....

[SallyMander]

41. LOL

*psst*

Check the left hand, ring finger -- might keep ya out of trouble.

:rofl:

[Bennyboy]

44. Always...but you would be suprised

as to how many women do not wear rings......or have serious boyfriends and love to flirt. A couple of weeks ago, i was hanging with this woman and we were jsut talking and her (unbeknownst to me) boyfriend made a huge scene, telling me to stop talking about poltiics and to leave his wife alone....Screaming at the top of his lungs! TOTAL ASSHOLE.

This is why I only have a couple of male friends and most of my friends have always been women....

[SallyMander]

48. WTF!

Man, if i were with a guy and he yelled at me for talking politics with another guy... he'd be history! For goodness sakes, that's just ridiculous. Some men are way too possessive (and some women can be too!). Life would be easier if everyone would realize that a little harmless flirting never killed anyone! :D

[Bennyboy]

55. Guys never want to talk politics.....

They are pretty mcuh creatins, Football, sports, other women, cars etc.

he was just using the politics to amke him seem less foolish. The conversation we were having was about popcorn (why I did not want to eat it)and flavorings. He was just so possesive.....and not married to her either it turns out...

[Joe Fields]

35. I would be fleecing everyone in a poker game in some side room.

[SallyMander]

42. What kind of poker do you play?

I've always wanted to learn -- looks like fun. But i think i'd be terrible at keeping a good "poker face"...

[Joe Fields]

72. Mainly Hold'Em, but I play Omaha, Stud and Razz also.

But I would be honored to go to your party, and would do plenty of socializing, before I took everyone's money.

:hi:

[Tuesday Afternoon]

40. Shooting pool. n/t

[SallyMander]

43. Another thing like poker

(see above post)

that i'm probably terrible at -- but i'd like to be better! :D

[Tuesday Afternoon]

45. I grew up shooting pool. We had a regulation size table at home.

Those little bar tables are are a breeze. I wasted way too much time, but it WAS fun.

[fizzgig]

46. depends on what's going on

maybe i'm doing shots at the bar

maybe i'm dancing

maybe i'm in a passionate, yet drunken conversation

maybe i'm on the deck smoking

but never again will i be the person :puke: in the backyard :rofl:

[SallyMander]

50. You sound like fun!

You're definitely on the list. :D

Just remember, beer before liquor, never been sicker... :rofl:

[fizzgig]

53. i was 'that person' at one party

omg...never again...i won't even tell you what i was drinking...i don't even want to think about it

[SallyMander]

56. LOL - we've all had those nights

The smart ones learn from it!

For example, i believe Jaeger will never again pass my lips... :rofl:


:hug:

[fizzgig]

59. jaeger = death

the night we parted company was quite the..adventure

[SallyMander]

63. I totally agree

Just the smell of it makes me gag... yecgh!

Perhaps we should just ban it from the party altogether! :rofl:

[Redstone]

47. Surrounded by the most attractive women....

Redstone

[SallyMander]

51. Of course!

ALL the Lounge women are knockouts, silly! :D

[Jamastiene]

129. I'll be hanging with Redstone.

:hi: :P :rofl:

[snailly]

49. The one challenging the back alley wall to a fight

and end up losing.

[SallyMander]

52. ...

:spray:


Best response yet!

What did the wall ever do to you, huh??? :rofl:

[IzaSparrow]

58. mingling, drinking, then dancing

in that order

[SallyMander]

61. Excellent - we need more people dancing

You're on the list. :D

[Frosty1]

64. Dancing on the table

:bounce:

[SallyMander]

66. Woohoo!!!

:yourock:

[Starbucks Anarchist]

68. Corner of the room with a lampshade on my head.

[SallyMander]

70. Emitting light?

Or hoping to go unnoticed?

:D

[Starbucks Anarchist]

71. Little of both.

;)

[dropkickpa]

76. In the bathroom doing blow off the tank lid

Hey, you asked!

[SallyMander]

122. You'd better make sure rug does a good job

keepin the cops out! :scared:

[Gormy Cuss]

77. Waiting for the next bowl of shrimp to be delivered to the hors d'oeuvre table

[DFW]

80. I think I'd be right there with you fighting for the cocktail sauce

And then, I'd be (if my wife were on another continent) taking
solicitations from all the single women to drive them home, seeing
as how I don't drink alcohol. :evilgrin:



By the way: J/K on the single women--my wife at 55 is still gorgeous
as well as being the easiest woman in the world to get along with,
and there ain't no way in the world I'm gonna risk messing up a good
thing. It just sounded like a catchy line!

[Gormy Cuss]

92. Yeah well, if you take too much cocktail sauce

I'm telling your wife about the single women soliciting you.:evilgrin:

[DFW]

93. I have nothing to fear

Women do not tend to solicit me, single or otherwise (my
wife is nearsighted). You had better be prepared to make
a stronger defense of your cocktail sauce.......

[CaliforniaPeggy]

78. My dear SallyMander!

I'd be in different places...

Eating some of the time...

Talking...

Taking pictures, of course!

But mainly I would be dancing! I love love love to dance, and I hardly ever get any chances to do that!



:bounce: :bounce:

[SallyMander]

106. Yay! Another body on the dance floor

:D

:hug:

:party:

[Phentex]

79. under the disco ball...

pretending to be Donna Summer...

[SallyMander]

107. Ooh, sequin dresses are ALWAYS welcome

:thumbsup:

[Guava Jelly]

81. Close to the booze

And probably talking to my female friends

[SallyMander]

108. What's your drink of choice?

We've got the matcoms at the bar servin it up! :D

[Guava Jelly]

140. Something Red

:D

[DarkTirade]

82. I'd probably be on the porch, passing around the guitar.

and trying not to breathe in too much smoke. Because I know all the other guitarists smoke, but I don't. :)

[SallyMander]

109. We would be so lucky to have so many musicians around!

That's totally what makes a party. :)

[DarkTirade]

162. We've got plenty of guitarists...

what we need are bass players and drummers. :P

[_testify_]

83. In the kitchen

All the good stuff goes on in the kitchen!

[yellowdogintexas]

87. I'd be helping you. I love the kitchen. nt

[SallyMander]

110. Also a good excuse

to sample all the snacks first! :9

[NewWaveChick1981]

84. I'd be making the schmoozing rounds...

:hi: I like to talk to people.

[SallyMander]

111. I have an intuitive feeling

that you would be a total blast to talk to. :D

:hi:

[NewWaveChick1981]

139. Thank you, Ms. Mander...

:hi: I have the same feeling about you. You'd be a lot of fun at parties!

[SarahB]

86. Talking in a quiet group

or what Bi-Baby said. :blush:

[SallyMander]

112. Alright, i'm keeping an eye on the two of you

And if you sneak off, i'm following! :evilgrin:

[flvegan]

88. Sitting on the floor, petting with the dog.

That's where I always spend most of my time.

Catches the eye of the ladies, too.

[SallyMander]

114. Elmo would appreciate that

if the party were at my place. He's a party animal. :rofl:

[Jamastiene]

130. You just don't give up, do you?

You keep doing sweet stuff like that and I won't be able to resist. :loveya: :hi: :pals:

[Seashell Eyes]

90. In the corner

with a nice mild red wine in one hand. I'd be people watching until the alcohol takes effect. Then, I'd join the fun.

[SallyMander]

115. I have a bad habit of people-watching

and eavesdropping... it can just be so interesting. Have to remind myself to jump in sometimes! :)

[Seashell Eyes]

163. It would really be interesting if it was the lounge

:hi:

[RainDog]

91. just now showing up?

is that an option?

[SallyMander]

116. Latecomers are welcome!

Keep it rollin! :D

[WinkyDink]

94. Near the potted plants, potted.

[SallyMander]

117. LOL

I will look for you by the ficus. :rofl:

[Generic Brad]

95. Standing by the door waiting for an opportune moment to leave

I am completely uncomfortable at any type of large gathering and cannot wait to leave. I am introverted and socializing in person is really draining.

[SallyMander]

118. Well we wouldn't keep ya

if you weren't having fun. :(

[lizziegrace]

96. Then you're in charge of music

part of the time. ;-)

I'll be in the doorways listening to conversations and in the kitchen. I've lived alone for a long, long time. Lots of people can be overwhelming to me.

[SallyMander]

119. Hee hee

That is dangerous -- it could easily turn into an 80s dance party, LOL! Although there's lots of stuff that's dance-able. :D

This hypothetical Lounge party is in my hypothetical mansion -- so you'll be able to find a quiet spot whenever you want. :hug:

[RetroLounge]

98. Not sure, but I would NOT be flirting...

Nope, not me...

By the way, that's a very nice dress you're wearing...

:9

RL

[hisownpetard]

103. And I would not be flirting, with you.

(And looking over my shoulder for lizziegrace approaching, with a serrated knife and a friendly smile).

[lizziegrace]

104. I really don't think

I'm one you should worry about...

Really...


:)


Wish you could come to the party. :hug:

[RetroLounge]

113. True, she should worry about me...

:D

RL

[hisownpetard]

138. Me, too!! I really would love to do that someday, although I know what you mean (in another

thread) when you say that you've lived alone for a long time, and it does get a little difficult sometimes
at big parties. I'm much more comfortable with a handful of people and a real conversation going on
than the frivolity of a huge bash. I actually like to hear the person I'm talking to. I'm funny that way.

So excuse my peevish envy (ooo, I have PEEVISH ENVY!). When it bubbles up. I just slap it right back down,
till it goes away!

[lizziegrace]

145. Isn't there a program for that??

peevish envy... ;)

[lizziegrace]

105. Oh

and all the knives have been taken away. x(

;)

[SallyMander]

120. Awww, this ol' thing???

:rofl:

:hug:

[billyskank]

101. In the corner, looking at my watch.

[SallyMander]

121. ...

:cry:

It's not that late yet!

[Jamastiene]

132. ...

and asking yourself how long does it take me to smoke my weed and come back to ya, right? :loveya: :pals: :hi: :hug:

[Jamastiene]

123. Outside behind the building smoking weed, then

dancing on the table nekked and drinking more than I should. :evilgrin:

[SallyMander]

124. So in other words

you pretty much ARE the party!

:rofl:


:yourock:

[Gonzo Gardener]

125. I'll be rollin' da fat spliffs...

poolside. :evilgrin:

[SallyMander]

126. I think this party

has hit on every type of debauchery.


SWEET! :toast:

[Gonzo Gardener]

131. Oh yeah, Baby!

I've been known to whip out the cocoa butter and give some mean massages and I always stay to help clean up.

:smoke:

[Jamastiene]

133. Well, not quite yet....

I haven't worked on my menage a trois on the kitchen floor with a couple of DU Lounge ladies yet. I just told you what I'd do for starters earlier. Plus, I'm always the last one to pass out at a party too. :evilgrin:

[Danger Mouse]

135. too frightened to actually SOCIALIZE, i would instead drink myself into a stupor right away...

thus making the whole 'social interaction' thing MUCH easier.

[SallyMander]

161. Aww, no worries, we're friendly

we'll even bring you a big glass of water at the end of the night. :D

[RadiationTherapy]

136. showing my band's videos on the big screen

and cracking loud jokes.

[SallyMander]

158. Welcome to DU

and to the PARTY!!!

What kind of music do you play?

[RadiationTherapy]

169. Well there are those who liken it to Pink Floyd; Others are reminded

of the dulcet tones of Tom Waits after 2 packs of smokes and an all night poker game.

Actually, all of those people are me and my brother.

I have a hard time describing the results, but the intent is poetry with soundscapes. We have 3 CDs finished and have distributed 100% through guerrilla marketing (free copies on posters around town mostly).

You can listen to (and keep if you like) to MP3s at my website www.SinningOfTheBeginning.com and we also have videos on youtube: radiationtherapyband.

Sorry so long, but many would not call our creations "music", though my brother and I think they are.

[crim son]

137. Standing in a corner with a glass of wine, hoping

somebody would come talk to me. And maybe bring me more wine, cuz then I might dance. :)

[Pierre.Suave]

159. I would be talking to Crim son

sharing my good wine, and convincing her to dance with me...

Although, I don't think it would take much convincing...

[crim son]

166. Perhaps not, but I'd put up a good show.

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

[Pierre.Suave]

168. Playing hard to get...

just makes you more appealing dear...

you know that no woman can resist gods gift to women...

:P

[SallyMander]

160. You got it

on both counts! :D

[BarenakedLady]

141. Making out on the couch.

:*

and getting felt up.

[RetroLounge]

142. ...

:hi:

RL

[BarenakedLady]

143. Are you volunteering for the position?

:9

:hi:

[Inchworm]

146. I volunteered in the wrong place

and RL's face was a little prickly. I resubmit my volunteerage here and stuffs.

G'morning BNL. Hope you are have a good holiday!

Flirt- Flirt- Flirt- :loveya:

:hi:

[BarenakedLady]

Happy Holidays!

[Inchworm]

153. Hehe

Wow! Your neck is much softer in comparison.

How's things with you? All is well here. Just me and the dogs, but they are cool :)

Happy Christmas Eve!

:hi:

[RetroLounge]

147. I thought I was...

But this other guy sat down on the couch and started to feel me up...

I think he's had a few :D

:hi:

RL

[BarenakedLady]

150. I don't mind being in the middle.

:evilgrin:

[RetroLounge]

156. Really?

:wow:

I hope Santa hooks you up.

;)

[BarenakedLady]

157. Yowza!

I hope I find one of those under my tree in the morning.

:9

*purrrrrrr*

[SteppingRazor]

164. I'd be in the back yard with the other smokers.

With a cig in one hand, a cocktail in the other, and a very loud conversation going on around me.

That tends to be the status quo at most parties I go to.

[lizziegrace]

165. Thomcat

would be cooking in the kitchen, and with Retro...

;)

[Lyric]

167. Secluded in a private annex room with my chosen companions

I scan the herd and pick out my favorites, then sweep them off to a private place and dazzle them with my blazing intellect and intoxicating charm. :D

[RainDog]

170. wow. I arrived late

got past the police at the door as they were leaving and I've walked into what seems to be an orgy involving cocktail sauce and massage oil. Not sure. Some people seem to be holding up the wall and I think I spotted someone behind a potted palm. The dog has made a run for the door because the folks in the kitchen are laughing so hard someone broke a bowl -- oops! -- I can see them from here...and

I'm now stepping over bodies writhing on the floor (wow, look at that!) and around the disco queens who still have a little space left to dance and I've gotten a drink from the matcoms (who, for those of you who don't know, are doing something kinda... kinky behind that bar... ice and martini glasses and champagne flutes?) - and now I've made my way outside to share a cigarette and, oh, what's this? sure. thanks.

interesting party, huh? (cough, cough, oh here...) sallymander knows how to do it. nice mansion. think I'll wander around. oh, thanks. (cough, cough). here ya go. who's that asking if a skunk is in the backyard? Who is that out there blowing cookies? do they need help? let's give them some ice. I think I'll get another drink.

sorry to interrupt, mr/mrs matcom... thanks.. (what ARE they doing?)

guess I'll join the conga line to get through this room, and on to...

oops, sorry, sorry. no, really, I didn't know that was your... I thought is was a digideroo. Always wanted to try to play one of those. sorry. excuse me, pardon. excuse me, oops, sorry. pardon.

...now I feel preeeeety good and everything is just so nice so I think I'll draw a bath in this tub that looks like you could swim in it and listen to the ruckus below. oh, and the music.

now where is that cigarette someone gave me outside? aaaahhhhhhhh..... hope someone lets me know when the party is over.

[SallyMander]

173. I am on the slowest internet connection ever

but i love your post so much i just had to say...

:yourock:

:loveya:

Hope this doesn't take a half an hour to post... :rofl:

[RainDog]

174. why thank you

....I'm still in that tub. better run some more hot water.

on edit- didgeridoo, above.

[alfredo]

171. In the kitchen

***from an old memory of Bob Seger sitting at his kitchen table, with about a pound of weed piled high. He's sitting there very intent on rolling one doobie after another.

[no name no slogan]

172. In the medicine cabinet, "borrowing" a few prescriptions

[Mutley]

175. I'm shy in real life so

I'd be hiding. :o

:P

[KitchenWitch]

177. In the kitchen with all the food and foodies.

[Mythsaje]

178. Depends on the atmosphere
