I need party tips

I have been a resident where a party had been thrown... but I have never been one of the main party hosts. I was more Starbuck to Captain Ahab's Whaling Soiree.

My questions:

How many people should I shoot for, in terms of invites? We don't have this huge house or anything -- two rooms inside, the garage (which will not have our cars in it) and the backyard which, like all Colorado backyards, is postage sized).

How many people steal shit at a party? Just roughly. I don't anticipate too much of that, but still, just curious.

Trying to keep the cats inside will almost certainly be a futile venture. I might as well just go as Captain Kirk so that shouting, "SPOCK! SPOCK!!!!" all night will be in character.

But I am interested in all data for throwing a party, good and bad.

Er, Spock is the name of one of our cats. I should mention that.

What kind of friends do you have that you need to worry about them stealing stuff?

Number one party tip. For a successful halloween party always have a Co2 fire extinguisher handy so you can startle the crap out of your guests when you hide behind a door or curtian and give them a blast. Fun city!

I have, in the past, placed a container of dry dog food near the dip so that drunk guests could munch on the Eucanuba while I inwardly smile with glee. This is a personal preference, as Miss Manners will tell you.

There is no overdoing black lights. No such thing as too much black light.

I installed a black light over the video games. Thought I secured it pretty well. As it turns out I didn't and the thing came crashing down over the Ms. Pac cab.

The control panel for that game was CHERRY, Vark. CHERRY! Now it has a small scratch and Dayna noted that I could have just put black light bulbs in the ceiling lights. By the power of Grayskull I have the capacity for stupidity not normally found in mortal men.

You will never play that game again because it has a scratch in it.

Don't blame yourself, I wouldn't either.

Look, I'm sorry that I've become a one-topic poster. I apologize for it freely. I don't know what happened to me. I used to be relatively well-rounded, now, it's all I can think about. I have a problem and I don't know how to fix it. I don't know what the solution is.

So you WILL play that game again?

Cuz I wouldn't. Cuz it has a scratch in it, and is therefore ruined.

That is a shame. That is a motherfucking shame.

It is a fucking shame indeed. You should give that game to me, since you cannot play it, because it is scratched.

You should get two Logitech Force Feedback gamepads and a PSX emulator for your PC. You should also get Stepmania and a pair of USB dance controllers.
