2. Do tell them their shoes are fabulous, and you wished you were gay, too, but sadly.....(sigh).... you're het-impaired.
3. Make favorable references to David Lee Roth and Ellen DeGeneres.
4. And like our friend suggested, bring some zin and Liza tapes. Accidentally forget the (now radioactively contaminated) salad oil at home.
LOL, but I won't trouble the neighbors. They are so weird, they stay at home and never, but never speak to us neighbors. When the big one drops, I'll just "live" with it.
