I know I am getting older because I am actually paying attention to whats going to happen at up coming social events, in this case a pot luck supper!

Well, we can't bring this that or the other because those are trade marked by X amount of ladies that have been doing them for years, you have a choice between beef, ham, chicken, lobster, crabs, prawns or anything that feeds 40 and you have to take a loan out for. :mad:
(remember when you were single and just brought your own drinks and a chunk of meat)

Then there is music, decorations, BLAH BLAH BLAH!! :facepalm:

So the wife can go if she wants. I am pulling out a rib eye, cooling the bevys :)
And I am going to play Zepplin 1 (good times bad times) over and over till I gag (or figure out something else good to listen to)

Re: I know I am getting older (pot luck supper politics)

In situations such as this I wear spandex under my evening clothes and bring a small boombox. When I have had enough of the nights festivities off go the evening clothes I put a CD of Warant or Ratt(80's hair bands) and off I go.......I have never stayed more then 5 minutes past pushing play....

Re: I know I am getting older (pot luck supper politics)

Birds of a feather huh? in all honesty I actually did this once foreseeing the pain and agony I was about to endure, The look on the womens faces was of pure horror.....the guys all vowed to take note of how well it worked. The problem is that now my wife checks to make sure I am not wearing spandex under my clothes anymore which she never has but the thong was difficult to explain......

'80s Hair Bands RULE!!! No hair band fest would be complete without POISON, Motley Crue, and a bit o' Halen. From experience on this same subject...hosted at my own house no less...NOTHING clears a room full of hens like the BULLETBOYS - "Smooth Up In Ya'". Take notes boys...this is a winner. Bring up the '80s hair channel on the cable box, search out "BULLETBOYS", set the Bose surround to "ear bleed", grab the wireless guitar from your Wii "Rock Band" game, and have at it. My wife was a little miffed at first, but she joined in after just a few riffs. THIS little stunt turned the whole gathering into some real fun! Your results may vary...


Add to that...I know what you mean about the high dollar food bringing. Our home school association has meetings once a month. My wife volunteered to bring snacks. Like you said...there is an unspoken list of things that others bring regularly. My wife showed up with "the wrong thing" once, and was rather rudely chastised for it. While the other volunteers had the market cornered on bakery bought cookies, 2-liter sodas, ritz crackers, cheez-whiz, etc...they informed my lovely wife she needed to bring a "main course" selection to feed 80 people (!!!). They went so far as to print out a list of "accepted" foods...which included shrimp, summer sausage, sausage rolls, sushi, etc...basically all the expensive stuff that no one else wanted to foot the bill for. My wife told them if they didn't like what she brought, then she suggests they eat before they attend the meeting. GOD...I so love her!

Good for your wife

This how it works at my house when people bring on demands like that.

Shrimp- the traps are right over there don,t forget the pot.
Summer sausage- couple roll's of garlic coil and a box of soda crackers.
Sausage roll's- pig in a blanket
Sushi- Salmon fresh out of the ocean and a box of Uncle Bens rice. The sea weed is on the beach.

I don't usually get invited back but then these are not the kind of people I like to be around.

If Bullet Boys does not seems to work for you possibly try:

Deep Purple's "Knocking at your backdoor"

Sir Mix Alot's "I like big butts" ... (They know this one, they don't want us to know they do.)

Ted Nugent's "Cat Scratch Fever"

My wife just said... "How about a pot of ROADKILL CHILI!!!" God I love my wife!!!

PS: She just added, "But, of course, don't tell them it's roadkill 'till after they've eaten it!!!" Again, God I love her!!!

My wife just said, "Seriously... You put (or say you put) squirrel, possum, or racoon in it, and TELL them after they eat 1/2 a bowl..." You won't have to worry about the next gathering with those people!!!";):p:D

That would depend on WHO you were eating with. Some of my wife's Mississippi relatives would ask you what spices you used on the roadkill :eek: no joke. We went to pick up a chest freezer one time, (when we lived down there while I was going to MS State univ), at one of her aunt's houses. It was full of squirrel, 'possum, 'coon, etc. Some of it had dates on the plastic wrap that was several years old. When they saw the look on my face and on my wife's face, her aunt told us that roadkill keeps for a long time if you freeze it quick! And she was NOT joking! eeeewwwww...........


She claims NO relation to that side of the family!
