and how and by whom is it recommended? Asking for me and @wacky1980. Thanks

I can see a get-together with a couple of close friends and a couple of bottles once the paperwork's been signed, but not a full-blown celebration of correcting one of my more idiotic decisions (marrying the asshole in the first place). But then again, I'm still married to the asshole...

I've read about them (thank you, internet, for keeping me up to date on the ever-lowering bar of socially acceptable), although I've never had the dubious pleasure of being invited to one.

I don't know why either, but they do. And perhaps if one is that awesome, no one else could throw such an awesome party.

Is a never getting married party actually any worse than a come celebrate my divorce party?

For a shower (wedding or baby) or graduation or some thing that's in a way congratulatory, I can see that. But for something that you just want to celebrate, like buying a house or getting a new job or surviving another year, why not celebrate the way you want and not how anybody else thinks you should?

What? If you're going to get the party you want, you're better off throwing it yourself, or at least planning it yourself. It's like my birthday cake. I always make it myself, because then it turns out exactly the way I like it.

Aw, just suck it up and call it a 40th birthday party. 40 isn't that bad; I don't know why you kids are all so squeamish about it.

I agree. I like to feel sandpapered when I get out of the shower.

When? You haven't put up anything in over a year.

Meh, Zeni's more the mall goth type.

They have everything! Well, almost - the only thing that stops me from moving in to one is no appliances.

OMG! I'm so jealous! $ General is the best! That's where I get a lot of my movies - I got the first 5 Puppet Master movies on one disc for $2 there. Ours was like a block from my apartment, and it was right on the way home from the library; I used to stop there religiously every Saturday on the way home from work.

It's been probably 25 years since I smoked cigarettes - I smoke little cigars, usually Swishers when I can get the 100's. For a long time, my favorites were Salem light 100's - I started smoking them when I was old enough to buy my own instead of stealing my mother's (she smoked Merits; they sucked out loud, and I'm not even sure they make them anymore).

Better even than that - why doesn't it come in waxed paper that you can actually open and close with minimal mess or problem? You kids and your damned plastic cereal bags inside the boxes.

God damn, I miss when there was a place to tell people to put drivel like this.

$ stores rule.

When I was maybe 10 or 11, one of my friends had one. I don't remember whose it was, but we used to play it down in another friend's cellar. Not because it was supposed to be haunted, but because all of our parents were uber-Catholic and that kind of thing was simply not allowed. Nothing ever happened (unless you count the arguments about which one of us was pushing the planchette), at least, not that we knew about. Turns out, however, that it was another one of my narrow escapes from death - seems that the friend's mom found the ouija board about a year after we got tired of it. Once my friend had denied ownership, his mother was sure that it was me (which it wasn't; although using one wouldn't have been out of character, I wouldn't have spent money on it) and was going to tell my mother. This would have meant death, probably at the stake, and my mother was not one to mercifully strangle heretics first. Fortunately, there was enough doubt in her mind, since the third person involved in the equation was the one who usually got us in trouble, and since it would have been well within his usual MO to store something like that at a house not his own so that his mother wouldn't find it, she decided just to let the matter drop. Hence, I am here to tell the tale, and to remind everyone that ouija boards really can be dangerous.

Granted, when I made the suggestion, you were trying to get more subscriptions, but I'm reasonably sure that you would have gotten laid as a side effect.

I told him two or three years ago 5 little words that would get him laid, but did he listen?

Because you're a 53-year old CPA from Passaic who's been role-playing this troll since the mid-2000's, and there are people who don't believe that anyone could keep up a ruse this long. Also, when are you changing your avatar to
