How interesting! And now you're up a creek without a paddle...

 GG> But let's see, the parties I attended were some

Newbies never can.

 GG> -D&D parties, usually started on the BBS for the game campaign, and

Lemme guess... you played the role of Madonna...

 GG> They had a great tradition.  They would line the fireplace with

Hey, the dwarves do that too... except that we put the newbies in the
fireplace, and make sure that the glasses we throw are filled with
extra-caustic pigeon .

 GG> First time to see everclear.

Their song "Father of Mine" explains a lot...

 GG> Everyone got wasted and the few of us still standing played with
 GG> the heads of the drunkiods.

We play soccer with the heads of the newbies.

 GG> That was fun.

Sure was! Thanks!
