I agree with joe.cff2 Why don't they just add "make sure you're not caught stealing" to the lame list.....and, "don't tell the hostess she's ugly" C'mon - aren't these all basic common sense items?!

(Luke 14:12-14) . . .“When you spread a dinner or evening meal, do not call your friends or your brothers or your relatives or rich neighbors. Perhaps sometime they might also invite you in return and it would become a repayment to you. But when you spread a feast, invite poor people, crippled, lame, blind; and you will be happy, because they have nothing with which to repay you. For you will be repaid in the resurrection of the righteous ones.”

As to comment 18, it is called a "Hostess Gift"..I don't think it would feel that it needs to be reciprocated..

I totally have a case of the loners at parties but go anyway cuz being totally alone sucks. I always indulge in the sauce in order to get out of loners state of mind. And once I've had enough sauce, the word "me" becomes every other word when I talk. Is there some school I can attend to learn how to become more people friendly and more humble??

As long as you use a toilet and don't smell like dog, I think everyone does fine at a party.

Is having sex with the hosts wife a no no? Are these two serious, do they need to write articles like this? This is about as lame of an article as I have come across in a long time. By the way is shooting the hosts dog because he was humping your leg a no no also?

Number 1 is probably one of the stupidest assumptions I've read. Nobody is going to care if you bring along a guest, especially a significant other.

Hey. Just so you know. I am a total loser and I think that the both of you ladies are unattractive and lack intelligence. I mean, I would rather be stranded on a desert island with Suze Orman, than with either of you...and she's a lesbian...and her peronal finance articles are pretty lame...but she's twice as good looking as the both of you put together and at least Suze's articles have a hint of intelligence to them.

Most of this is just good maners, although I have been to a few get togethers where not everyone brought the host something. It was slightly embarssing for everyone, although no one said anything. It does not have to be exspensive, just thoughtful. :)
