WND theme park

A number of you have been asking, Why don't we ever have themed wnd's like "Casual Wnd," "Tiki Wnd" or movie-theme wnd? Well, we've tried it in the past with mixed results. Some turned out to be out-and-out failures; others out-and-out-and-out failures. Here's a sampling of our miscues:

"Bring Your Pet Skunk Wnd." I take full responsibility for this one, though to be fair I did insert a "J/K" and a series of winky faces at the end of the invite. ; ) ; ) ; ). I didn't realize that every skunk-owner on this email list was a complete idiot. Granted, you need to turn your head to the side to get it, but didn't it strike you as odd that I would randomly type semi-colons and close-parentheses at the end of an email?

"Boston Massacre Wnd." An unparalleled disaster. I still have nightmares. My sincerest apologies to my friend Crispus.

"D-Day Wnd." See above.

"Heroine Wnd" with the uncomfortable follow-up the next week: 

"The Trouble With Homonyms"

"Stalin Was Misunderstood; Let Me Explain"

and finally, "Fluorescent Light Party-Hearty Wnd." We thought the spacious and luminous Furniture Barn Outlet on Pico would be the perfect spot for drinks. I still can't figure out why everyone left so early. Jay can tell you that the complimentary magnifying glasses afforded him a fascinating up-close view of my pores.

I personally feel the whole theme thing has run its course. However, for those of you who insist on continuing this painful tradition, incapable of enjoying a drink without bells and whistles blaring in your ears, I urge you to become more involved in the selection process. I will be taking suggestions (grudgingly) this week from my usual barstool perch.
