BHH Tropical Fling ***Saturday May 4th*** **When** Saturday May 4th 6:00 (dinner)...8:00 (party)...?? **Where** Big Happy Home 949 Fremont St. Menlo Park CA 94025 (415) 322-8114 (the URL for the full flyer + a map to the bhh is at... http://www-cs-faculty.stanford.edu/~nick/bhh) Consider the words... ³sunny,² ³tropical,² ³tawny,² and of course ³fruity!² -- no other big house in the greater Menlo Park area comes to mind quicker than the Big Happy Home (especially when you add in words like ³couch,² ³ESPN,² and ³burrito.²) So this year, in attempt to have more color-coordinated guests, we formed a sub-committee to study possible official party themes. Being organized types, many of you were no doubt on such committees to organize your 7th grade prom night (remember ³Midnight at the Oasis² ?). So after that committee totally imploded, we decided to go with ³tropical² since... 1) It¹s easy 2) More opportunities to reach closure on long term unresolved fantasies and scenarios such as... The-Professor-and-Mary-Anne, Captain-Hook-gets-Tick-Tock, or I¹ve-been-washed-right-out-of-her-hair. 3) Already had Tiki Torches 4) Fruity drinks + Fake Parrots = Feather Fun! Anyway, please join in the spirit(s) by adopting that oh-see-easy tropical appearance: flowery shirted native/software-engineer, lost explorer, pirate, wild boar, and the always extra-sexy....³The Professor². Crack teams of BHH party engineers have already begun the process of delegating, procrastinating, back-pedaling, and finger pointing which will lead to the energetic throwing together of many things at the last moment. We will provide plenty of food, drinks, good cheer, and entertainment served up in a tawny tropical tour-de-force of flirting, drinking, playing, and cop-defusing, along with just enough regular old adult conversing and business-card-exchanging (for which there is a special review session at 5:00). ---------------- BHH Party FAQ Q: What if I accidentally underdress? A: It is not possible to underdress for a BHH event. Q: But it so hard to tell all those mega-hunk BHHers apart. A: Through a special arrangement of cross-licensing, technology sharing, and non-disclosure agreements, all BHHers are now officially fully interchangeable, so there is no need to tell them apart. For the dedicated reader, there is a prize for correctly completing the BHH quiz above. Q: But BHH parties involve such a heterogeneous mess of people drawn from a variety of social groups- what if I accidentally interact with someone outside my usual social clique? A: We will have trained social workers and special drinks available to help in the event of such an emergency. Q: But I¹m allergic to parrots. A: We will be practicing safe parrot. Also, as a standard precaution, all parrots will actually be made of wood. As an additional safeguard, there will not be any parrots. ---------------- Just check out these testimonials... - ³Oh I¹m sorry, I just remembered-- my appendectomy is scheduled for that night.² - ³Those guys can flat out operate a remote control.² ³I read the invitation.² ³Hello?
