News, but not the serious kind
$2,250? You’re off your trolley!
Blog Guy, has your Thanksgiving Williams-Sonoma catalog arrived yet? I can’t wait to see what expensive specialty gadgets we need to help us prepare the most traditional meal of all.
Indeed it did arrive, but I confess I stopped at the massive holiday cocktail section and got no further.
Really? What stopped you there?
The invitation to “create a professional bar experience at home.”
They didn’t say that!
I promise you they did, on page 35.
What the hell is a professional bar experience?
I know, right? I always thought it just involved getting really s**t-faced, but apparently there’s a lot more to it.
A professional bar experience at home requires a mahogany Hotel Trolley, just $2,250.00. You really need two of those, so your hammered guests can race them.
Have another round? No, I mean drinks!
Blog Guy, I need some of your great advice on home entertaining.
Is it something that can be solved by a fancy Williams-Sonoma gadget?
Not this time. I’ve invited some of those anti-Gaddafi soldiers over for a home- cooked dinner, and I’m wondering if there’s anything special I should know. We’ll start with pre-dinner drinks in the living room.
That sounds lovely. Make sure they have a clear line of fire.
Excuse me? Clear line of fire?
You know, they’ll want to use your sofa’s arm rest for their assault weapons, so you should only put one fighter on each piece of furniture.
Who has the worst taste on earth?
Knock-knock! Hello, are you Aisha, the daughter of fugitive strongman Muammar Gaddafi?
Who wants to know?
I believe I’m expected. I’m Lamar, the writer from “Extremely Poor Taste” magazine. I’m here for a tour of your home.
