As soon as I get fired from my job for inappropriate use of the hole puncher, I'm going to become a professional party planner. Here are a few party ideas you may use, free of charge, in an attempt to get my name out on the scene.
1. Street Fighter II Party. Most would agree that Street Fighter II for the Super Nintendo is the best video game in the history of the world. Why not channel this love by throwing a party where all attendees must dress as their favorite Street Fighter II character? Can you imagine how wild it would get when Ryu and Ken, bitter enemies, are selected as partners for Cranium? Yowza! In addition to the costumes, the host (dressed as M. Bison) could pick any two attendees to fight whenever he wants. The individuals chosen to fight better stick to the special moves for their characters, because if they accidentally use a move belong to someone else, the other guests are well within their rights to kill them.
2. ZZ Top Beard Party. One of the cooler parties I heard about in college was a Mustache Party, where the only people allowed in were those with mustaches. The organizers gave notice of the party several weeks in advance, so everyone interested had time to grow a mustache. Now, wouldn't it be interesting to take this concept to its logical conclusion and throw a party where the only people admitted are those who have super long, ZZ Top style beards? You'd have to notify everyone a few years in advance, but that just serves to heighten the anticipation. (You get bonus points if you actually get the dudes from ZZ Top to attend.)
3. Dewey Decimal Party. This one will be a hit with the nerd crowd, where each attendee must dress as his favorite number from the Dewey Decimal system. If anyone decides to be a wiseguy and shows up as the entire card catalogue, throw his stupid ass out. Be ready to mediate some disputes when multiple people show up as 737, which represents numismatics and sigillography.
If you're feeling particularly brassy, combine the three. Just don't come crying to me when E. Honda gets his beard stuck in the blender.
