I thought you were supposed to bring wine or booze, and that bringing food was considered an insult.

BTW, why the fuck would you ask people to bring food? I run down to Fresh Fields and get some platters of shit. Its costs like $150 - hardly a backbreaking expense if you’re throwing a party (shit, the booze is what costs all the dough). And nobody eats any of the food anyway. I should buy the stuff at ACME this Halloween... People just spill vodka and wine all over it.

The sign of a good party, IMO, is the absence of food served or eaten. Food slows people down.

ETA - Merde! STP...

That's right...you're still in your kegger days!

At the bon voyage party for Lunchbox collector the dishes were all picked clean and the beer and booze was all consumed. I heard no complaints.

If the host(ess) is serving dinner, then we bring an app in addition to the bottle. The bottle is always brought.

I bring no food and I don't do designated driver. Those are my only two rules. I'll bend over backwards to help folks out any other way.

The food is not prepared by me. I don't do anything except provide the money for the Boone's Farm.

The designated driver thing is just another reason for me to stay in the city.

Yes. I think your dysfunctional relationships are great entertainment.

Why don't you just move on? You're starting to sound sad...in a pathetic way.

I throw a party every year where guests generally bring desserts. The rest of the food and booze has well been taken care of.

If people don't think that food can't add anything to a party, then they're going to the wrong parties.

Bacon-wrapped anything adds value to ANY situation.

Some Rabbis Criticize New Madonna Song

Sun Oct 09, 8:59 PM ET

A song on Madonna's upcoming album dedicated to a Kabbalist rabbi is drawing criticism from other rabbis, the Israeli Maariv daily reported Sunday.

The album, "Confessions on a Dance Floor," is to be released on Nov. 15 and features a track entitled "Isaac" about Yitzhak Luria, a 16th century Jewish mystic and Kabbalah scholar.

Rabbis who oversee Luria's tomb and a seminary in the northern town of Safed are unimpressed with Madonna's musical tribute and see the inclusion of the song about Luria on the album as an attempt by the pop star to profit from his name.

Rabbi Rafael Cohen, head of a seminary named after Luria, suggested Madonna's actions could lead to divine retribution.

"Jewish law forbids the use of the name of the holy rabbi for profit. Her act is just simply unacceptable and I can only sympathize for her because of the punishment that she is going to receive from the heavens," Cohen told the newspaper.

Another rabbi called for Madonna to be thrown out of the community.

"Such a woman brings great sin on kabbalah," Rabbi Israel Deri told Maariv. "I hope that we will have the strength to prevent her from bringing sin upon the holiness of the rabbi (Yitzhak Luria)."

Madonna spokeswoman Liz Rosenberg didn't immediately return a phone call seeking comment Sunday.

The singer and actress was raised a Roman Catholic but has become a follower of Kabbalah in recent years and adopted the Hebrew name Esther. She made a much publicized visit to Israel in 2004, when she visited many sites important to Kabbalah, but didn't travel to Luria's grave.

Dissent. We don't allow bacon in the Blow Room.

Meanwhile, in sharp contrast, there is no sex in the Champagne Room.

Well, with dishes like this, that's no surprise.

"Raw horse meat slices represent Kumamoto cuisine. Marbled meat would melt in your mouth like rich tuna. Chives, ginger, garlic, and onion slices complement the meat."

I was personally more offended by the third verse in which space aliens blew up Mount Carmel with hydrogen bombs.

I wish... that connection, it is gone. Actually, truth be told, I am glad its gone. Its funny looking back, but I don’t miss those sweaty, paranoid, “am I having a stroke?” mornings. Nor do I miss making a massive horse’s ass of myself jabbering on about how “We should all invest in this cable television franchise my brother in law has in Bangalore now” the night before.

I fucking hate the driving thing the burbs requires. I wind up sleeping five or six minutes from my place every other weekend because you just can’t chance the DUI. They need a suburban cab company so badly...

You bastard. Fix it! I can't think of anything interesting. I'm in more of a defense mode today...
