Absolutely Brilliant ideas for parties

1. Everyone invited to the party knows no one else. Not even the host.
Everyone receives a dossier on everyone else, chronicling in detail their past relationships, what they do for a living, where they live, what bars they go to, what kind of pet they have, ect.
Everyone is forced to talk about anything else besides what is listed in their dossier.
Violators are ostracized and forced to go home as losers.

2. Everyone invited to the party must recite their (credible) interpretation of String Theory at the door. Once inside, they get one drink for every physics joke they tell. Jokes about people who tell physics jokes not allowed. Afterparty includes a trip to Edgewater to launch our homemade rockets.

3. To get into the party, you must bring a date who looks eerily like yourself.

4. Bug fighting tournament.

5. The pretend we're thirteen again party: Everyone must drink either really cheap beer or mad dog or convenient store wine that taste like fruit. Major points for those who combine sprite and mad dog to make punch. The only tobacco allowed in the house is Black and also Mild. Newports must be kept outside. Music is played on a very old boombox in the kitchen, and at some point, after Alexis dances on the table, we play spades. Oh, and this all takes place in a very crappy apartment in Ohio City with very little in the way of chairs, but a prominently displayed 1st generation Playstation.

6. The pretend we're sixteen again party: drop a little acid and hang out in South Chagrin metroparks, listening to Phish and drawing chalk pictures on the otherwise perfectly decent river rocks. Quote whatever Shakespeare play we're covering in English class to each other. Then go home and watch episodes of Gumby. Later write poems about killing yourself.

7. A key party, only instead of fucking, you take the other person out for coffee. And or cocaine.

8. A who's the biggest food network dork party. Big Bold flavors automatically disqualified. Also, everything must be vegan.

9. Everyone must come in costume as someone else at the party.

10. A turn your cellphones into political art party.
