Eleven Things I Learned at Last Night's Blog Party

1. Besides the Blood family's general hospitality and good nature, their home includes the following features that make for an ideal Blog Party location:
   
1. A dog to distract the little Fobs.
2. Cookbooks to keep the conversation going.
3. A Wii to distract the grownup Fobs.
   
2. Everything is curry.
3. After eight years of school and a master's degree, FoxyJ has found her true calling: cow racing.
4. It's fun to have children at a party, but it's even more fun when after a couple hours and they're getting cranky you can send them home with your sister.
   
5. Darrin and Samantha Stevens are even more delightful in real life than they are in the blogosphere. Enough so to keep us standing in the street talking for two hours after we decided it was really late and we should get home and in bed.
   
6. In a room with three married couples--one married for more than twenty years--the two most compatible Bungee Buddies, as determined by advanced supercomputer technology, were two guys who'd never met before: Iwonder and Edgy Killer Bunny. Go figure.
7. Although they may appear different on paper, Absent-minded Secretary is actually pronounced identically to Darrin and Playasinmar.
8. Assigning random Wii names to a group of ten people who don't all know each other very well and already have two names each can be rather confusing.
   
9. Playa spends way too much time practicing dance moves with his Wii.
10. According to Attemptingthepath, even the Lord's Bookstore can have server problems.
    
11. I am the master of electric hockey. Even when I lose.
