"Rationalizing" my own behavior? Heh. Yeah. That's it. I need something like
you (human dogshit) to point that out.

> Unfortunately the OP has made made legitimate points.


There were no valid point beyond his being a boor of extraordinary
proporations and cheap to boot. An informal party is just that; informal and
(usually) low-key. It's akin to a beer-bash; enter at your own peril.

Not everyone throws out beans and pastas as filler for their guests like
you've stated repeatedly.

A win-win if ever there was a case.

YES! Whaddayoose, a friggin' echo, or is 'rationalizing' a woid beyond your
limited comprehension. Idiot.

M-W

rationalize

: to attribute (one's actions) to rational and creditable motives without
analysis of true and especially unconscious motives

One of these days you're going to come up with something original and shock
the hell out of everyone. Until that time, I pity you in the same way I
would any less-fortunate being.

Who at anytime said this was an informal party.This was a party in Toluca Lake
ca. about 5 blocks from Bob Hopes house. Not in a trailer park in Alabama. You
make many assumptions that are not true and like I said before I thionk you saw
yourself in my post and became defensive. By the way See's a very good
chocolates, not like the Whitmans you probably scarf. BG
