What's your party piece?

― Tom, Wednesday, 28 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

is this like cooky glass?

― jess, Wednesday, 28 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I don't have one. I radiate wit and charm consistently instead. Er....so I would have you believe anyway.

― Ronan, Wednesday, 28 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

My own ineffable self, I thought. This is why I blend into the background so well at get-togethers. Er, wait.

― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 28 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

It's *this* thing.

― Tim, Wednesday, 28 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Being a twat.

Sitting in the corner looking kinda lost and bored.

(Completely of tpoic: There is now www.greenspun.com and greenspun.com...has anyone else noticed this?)

― james, Wednesday, 28 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I'm not sure, but I feel that the afflictions of duplicity have, bit by bit, started me to feel the need to let go of it.

(Ned, that one was for you.)

― Dan Perry, Wednesday, 28 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

My appearance.

― Maria, Wednesday, 28 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Maria: Armenian meatballs. Explain?

― suzy, Wednesday, 28 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Inside they're beef and lamb and outside there's a shell of bulgur with...um...something else in it. You get them and then you fry them. Only it takes a lot of effort to make them round like you're supposed to so sometimes people cheat and make them in a sheet on a pan. The round ones are pretty good though.

Where did I mention this, btw?

― Maria, Wednesday, 28 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Top Fives. But I think I have actually had these, possibly in Greek food incarnation. But then meatballs are the only food which occurs in all cultures as far as I can tell. Mmm, Swedish meatballs.

― suzy, Wednesday, 28 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

How are Swedish meatballs different from others? And yeah, a lot of Mediterranean food is very similar and has slightly different names.

― Maria, Wednesday, 28 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

(Ned, that one was for you.)

Bless your soul. ;-)

― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 28 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Swedish meatballs are pork/beef combo, quite little and seem to be braised in stock. You can get whole pails of them from Safeway here and if I'm not careful will eat them like popcorn.

― suzy, Wednesday, 28 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I can talk pretensionusly.

― anthony, Wednesday, 28 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

― rainy, Wednesday, 28 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

― jess, Wednesday, 28 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Jess, you are a horny, horny man. Just invite whatshername from Olympia out for Xmas. ;-)

― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 28 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

actually, ned, i'm feeling rather asexual these days. (my party trick is reproducing by splitting in half.)

― jess, Wednesday, 28 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Needless to say I first read this sentence as 'my tarty prick...'

― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 28 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

::ring, ring::

hello?

hello, Pot?

(...and so forth.)

― jess, Wednesday, 28 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Fie, I was merely pre-empting Dan. ;-)

― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 28 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

"If you didnt come to party, then why did you come?" - I'm an excellent Jarvis impersonator. I usually fuck up the "when the party's over will you come home with me?" bit, though.

― Simon, Thursday, 29 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I used to sing Diamonds Are Forever but I don't do that anymore.

― Nick, Thursday, 29 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

So they weren't forever then.

― Andrew L, Thursday, 29 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Falling over. Shouting. My mum said to me yesterday 'you are very shouty and unladylike when you are drunk Emma'. Cheers mum. Also I take advantage of the opportunity to demonstrate various forms of dance I have learned e.g. belly dancing and ballet dancing. Regrettably for the world at large I have just resumed ballet classes so expect to see much much more of me pirouetting round London pubs in a sylphlike fashion.

― Emma, Thursday, 29 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Gah, none of you have good party pieces. Mine is ver ver impressive. I breath fire. What often happens is I get quite carried away, accidentally swallow too much of the ignition fluid (which is often meths, or cheap barbeque lighter fluid) and fall asleep stinking of strong alcohol.

These are the few times I could be said to get hangovers. Nevertheless it is worth it to see the kiddies eyes light up when they see a stream of flame coming out of my mouth.

― Pete, Thursday, 29 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Not to mention their eyebrows.

― Sam, Thursday, 29 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Pete you have not done that since my 2nd year at college i.e. about 6 years. Your party piece is monkey impressions.

― Emma, Thursday, 29 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

My last party piece was an impersonation of Tim Hopkins at Alix and Sarah's.

― Mark C, Thursday, 29 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

i think reproducing by splitting in half is pretty fucking good!

― jess, Thursday, 29 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

The Amazing Wandering Accent. (Also known as "I am NOHT drunk!")

Me and Ewan McGreggor should go to a party together and see whose accent can wander over the most regions through the course of a bottle of vodka. See if his Scots-Detroit hyrid is the slightest match for my Hertfordshire-Seth-Efrika-Queens meanderings!

― kate, Thursday, 29 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Aaargh, that voice gives me THE FEAR!

― RickyT, Thursday, 29 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

My college party days including couch dancing and breast flashing, but those days are over.

― rosemary, Thursday, 29 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Oh, if we are including funny voicees then quite obviously my paedophile voice is a party piece.

― Pete, Thursday, 29 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

one year passes...

Brazenly crashing.
