'Hell Bound'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
go to a party in the rain where I have to bring a present and my own alcohol.
Can you come up with some spurrious ill that would make standing around in the rain undoable? Maybe hepatic barometrolic osylitis. Wouldn't want your exploding liver to upset the children. Best stay home.
Just thought I'd give it a little more structure ... Anthony Bourdain in the bar with a mandoline, for example.
Maybe Giada could put her enormous, scary teeth to good use...not sure what room (as you said, not the kitchen).
Wow. BYOB is pretty odd for a grown up party any more formal than a bunch of friends getting together to watch a movie or the like.

Especially one where they're begging for MORE gifts. They're cheap on top of greedy.
All those in favor of Zen not going to the party, raise your hand.

And they SUCK. Are they going to have some "tradition" they didn't tell you about where they pass around a bassinet and you're required to fill it with $50 bills?

Ass 'em in the ear.

I find "I'd love to come, but I'm feeling under the weather" a useful phrase. After all, in one sense, we are always under the weather.
Zenkitty, if you really feel you must spend your money, I vote you make a donation to a worthy charity in the name of the baby. The nearest Children's Hospital for example. Explain to the parents that you didn't want to clutter up their house with more stuff and you knew they'd appreciate this meaningful gesture.
Then flip 'em off.
BYOB is pretty standard around here - as is potluck - unless it is a formal party. Most parties around here are - hey - everybody come over to my house and 50 people later you have a party -
However , formal occassions are different.
I'm in the don't go camp.
She has idiots and zombies for guests?
who else would come to the house. of course, the zombies would go hungry since she doesn't have a brain to eat. OTOH, she probably made up some brains with jello and onions.
