I am her favorite of all the kids on here! So, neener neener neener!

If I make it down for the boogie, I would love to be!

Is there any mental maturity level requirement?

Tell ME!

3:29 Nice!

Helllooooo Speakers Corner, one comin at ya.

I have been a runner since high school with my training intensity going up and down form year to year, but have always ran. I love running and how it makes me feel. I have flirted with the idea of training for a marathon but can't seem to get myself past that 15k mark. I trained pretty hard for 3 years in a row for the Boilermaker 15k in Utica, NY but really burned myself out the last time. There are 10,000 entrants in this race and my goal for my third time was to break into the top 1,000. That would mean running a 1hr 7min 15k or better. So I trained hardcore from March until July when the race was and ran in several 10k races along the way. I reached my goal and finished in 1:07:45, which palced me 978th because everyones times were a bit slower due to hot weather. Anyway, my goal after that was to continue to train and then run the Philadelphia Marathon in November, but instead, I stopped running for about a month and then was just too burned out to train for it. I skipped the Boilermaker this last year, but think I might do it for 2006. If I do the training right, I may shoot for that Philly Marathon. LA is a bit far for me to do, but I wish you best of luck. If you ever just want to chat about running or training, drop me a line. It never gets old for me.

What IS the record? We must be talking 20+ if it is by invitation only.

It's all I use.

Yup- it's Captain Spaulding from House of 1,000 Corpses.

Don't feel ripped off at all! Big Rob Zombie fan and LOVE the character! Scary clowns rule!

It is cheap, and comes across as such. Unless of course some of the "entertainment" is topless dancing! You up for that?

Or she could get all 3 kinds of wine: Red, white and pink!

Just started "From a Buick 8" last night. It is one I have been neglecting.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! I give up!

10 out of 25 are wine drinkers, ages 35-65, 4 hours... Jeesh, a keg makes NO sense at all. We could have saved alot of time if we knew all this. 5 bottles of wine. 3 red, 2 white. Stay middle of the road both on price and sweetness/dryness. 4 cases of beer. 2 Sam Adams, 1 Coors Light, 1 Corona. That will cover it. 4 hours isn't long enough to worry about running out of something towards the end.

How many wine drinkers?

5 cases is PLENTY! Probably 4 would be enough. 4 hours, 35-65..... A keg is a bad choice for that. No questin you should go with bottles.

Thank you for pointing that out, AGAIN. This is NOT at the DZ, and is NOT a college party. It is an adult house party with 25 people. I would be willing to bet that not one of these people are going to her party with the sole intention of getting wasted.

Oh, btw- There is no Santa Claus. Nice avatar!

PS.... 6 cases is ALOT of beer for the average 25 person house party. Sure you will have the heavy drinkers, but you will also have the ones who drink one or two. It is simple math. Take a guess on how much the "average" person will drink at YOUR party. Not at the dz. 24 bottles in a case. Best part... The heavy drinkers won't give a crap if they have a lack of variety by the end of the night.

Oh, and don't let these "people will drink the good stuff first and then you will be stuck with no variety" arguments sway you. With a keg you have ONE kind. Buy 3 kinds. Get 2 cases of Sam Adams, 2 cases of Corona, and 2 cases of Coors Light. You will have AMPLE beer for 25 people at your house, and those choices will work for everyone. They may not be everyone's favorites, but they are a good mix. Doesn't matter what your taste is, those will work. I drink Guinness, and I could deal with those at a party. Best part... NONE will go to waste. If you don't want it, send it home with people.

Horseshit! I bet you 5 cases will be MORE than enough to please 25 people at her house. The bottles go back into the box and out to the curb, whoopdie doo.

Now doesn't that sound SO much easier than bottles! This is my point. For 25 people, who are adults and not college kids looking to save every penny and calculate every ounce of beer, bottles are the way to go. But if you want to go through all the crap in theabove post, then have at it. From experience, if I am having 25 people over, I am buying a few different kinds of beer and not going through the hassle of the keg just to save a few bucks. Plus, all that calculating is great, but if you don't drink every ounce of the keg, you will have NO idea how much you really spent per ounce, if any at all. AND you will end up with a half full keg that you have to take back.

A keg can be a pain in the ass. Picking it up, deposits, taking it back.... Plus, then you are stuck with one beer choice. With bottles, you can grab them anywhere and just recycle or throw them out how you choose. You can get a few different kinds and if you have some left over, it won't go to waste. Bottles. Ask a couple people who are coming what they like and get some ideas for kinds. If you miss on the keg, you screw up royal.
