Extra – Mensans Survive New Year! |
The time has come to celebrate the end of a year that most of us would rather forget. Now that the great computer job you always wanted turned out to be selling Apples on street corners, you’re undoubtedly looking for a New Year party that won’t eat up too large a part of your unemployment check. Instead of seeing the New Year arrive in Rio the way you did in 1998, enjoy it with a bunch of people who are in just as deep poop as yourself. This year, the Salon we usually have in October is a celebration that 2002 is finally over. Our theme will be “If you survived 2002, you can survive anything.”
Feel free to wear a costume or bring a prop that, in keeping with our theme, relates to the idea of survival or any of the disasters we had to overcome in 2002. How about a firelog made from stock certificates? An Official New York City Bubonic Plague Truck where unionized personnel yell “Bring out your f* dead!” at you in thirty different languages? A game of Hollywood Cells, for celebrities who have gotten into trouble, or a game of What’s My Line Most Hellish Job of 2002 (“The winner is…travel agent!”). How about a Eurosnob Anti-American Parade (“Les americaines – zey use zee moutarde in zee squeeze bottles!”)? Or, perhaps, the Ultimate State Proposition – All things to all voters!
We’ll be starting around 8 pm. Please call Ursula at 602-863-9648 by
Friday, Dec. 27 so we can plan the food and champagne. For people who
want to participate in a festive New Year’s Eve buffet, call so we can make
plans. This won’t be just chips and salsa – it will be well worth the $3 Owl.
