Going Away Party

On Friday night I had my going away party. My friend Mark agreed to host. Since he had finished his deck, I thought it would be nice to grill out there. He joked that since the railing wasn't up yet, no one could have too many beers and fall off. So when I e-mailed to invite everyone, I wrote the following disclaimer and asked everyone to bring notarized copies in triplicate as a joke.

I, _____________, the user, hereafter listed as The Drunks, do understand and abide by all conditions for deck enjoyment as listed below provided by the owners of the deck, hereafter listed as the party of party. The Drunks are aware of the safety conditions of said deck. The Drunks are responsible for their on personal well being regardless of state of intoxication or proximity to the deck.

This includes activities performed while enjoying or not enjoying the deck, looking at the deck, or merely hearing about the deck some weeks later. The deck is is provided for private use and is only for standing or sitting. Drinking on the deck may lead to serious bodily injury or embarrassment, and is not the responsibility of the Party of the Party, even if the Party of the Party is witness to the action and denotes approval by clapping, whooping or laughing. Ten points will be awarded to The Drunks if someone sleeps on the deck. Sleeping is not a recommended use of the deck. Written consent will be required for any rebroadcast of the deck.


Our friend Brooklyn really went above and beyond, she actually did it. I have the photos to prove it, as well. Thank you Brooklyn, I was flabbergasted. That was awesome.
