Phil's first post, so let's have a party!
Ironically written by Adair,Phil and Adair's Party Invitation Dictionary:
ec·sta·sy Pronunciation Key (kst-s)
n. pl. ec·sta·sies
1. Intense joy or delight.
2. A state of emotion so intense that one is carried beyond rational thought and self-control: an ecstasy of rage.
3. The trance, frenzy, or rapture associated with mystic or prophetic exaltation.
4. Slang. MDMA.
In late March in ancient Rome, female Bacchus worshippers would take off all their clothes and attempt to commune with their favorite god of wine and fertility. It didn't take long for the guys to follow. Before they were banned by the Senate in 182 BC, the Romans knew that a lot of alcohol and dancing made a sweet shin-dig.
Phil and Adair also agree that enough alcohol and dancing make a killer blowout.
dec·a·dence Pronunciation Key (dk-dns, d-kdns)
n.
1. A process, condition, or period of deterioration or decline, as in morals or art; decay.
2. often Decadence A literary movement especially of late 19th-century France and England characterized by refined aestheticism, artifice, and the quest for new sensations.
It's fallen out of favor over the past one hundred years for the rich to eat themselves until they throw up. In Victorean times it was possible to find many a good party in the upper strata of the higher classes with a healthy supply of food.
It has been re-found by Phil and Adair and is in the process of being reinstated into popular culture.
par·ty Pronunciation Key (pärt)
n. pl. par·ties
1. A social gathering especially for pleasure or amusement: a cocktail party.
2. A group of people who have gathered to participate in an activity. See Synonyms at band2.
3. Slang. An act of sexual intercourse, an orgy.
The 20th century term 'party' seems to have be derived from telephone operators who couldn't come up with a better word for person than 'party'. While it's not known whether they ate themselves to the point of bursting or if they drank until they either passed out or communed with fertility gods, it is often said that they could at least make connections.
Phil and Adair also make connections. Phil was once seen putting moves on Adair's friend in front of the roaring fireplace. That is a connection.
Drink·ing Com·pe·ti·tion Par·ty Pronunciation Key (drngk kmp-tshn pärt)
n.
1. A period of celebration at Phil and Adair's condo
2. often Decadent The modern twixter's re-invention of the Victorean eating frenzy. Wherein a mass of food is prepared and given to guests. See Synonyms at: spread.
3. A semi-formal party. Not the type where you have to dress up, but the type where it is expected that you RSVP the hosts, be they Phil or Adair, so that they can ascertain how much of a ‘spread’ they need in order to feed the expensive tastes of their comrades. See: Somewhere between where 'ass' was put into 'classy'.
4. A party where certain rules are given and expected of all guests:
1. One prepares his or her own special cocktail. This could be a martini, a shot, or a drink – blended, mashed, stirred, shaken or mulched. It can be made with pop, juice, coffee, food stuff, and anything remotely ingestible.
2. One brings enough alcohol for their drink to be served to all other guests (an average can be made at about 6 other guests, even though there will probably be many more.)
3. A hilarious competition ensues, whereupon the players in the game may scream, thrash, dance and attack the other players.
4. The winner is named champion. All others must bow and pay tribute to his creativity, his unwavering fealty to alcoholic perfection and his lack of better things to do.
5. A party for would-be yuppies who are intent on denying their accelerating age and waning virility.
