The mere fact that the other party has to run to the bathroom to hurl doesn't stop them; they follow, talking the while. Vernons can also be found trying to take advantage of those that have passed out on top of the pile of coats in the spare bedroom.

Nobody knows how Vernons end up at parties in the first place (no-one admits to inviting them and they completely lack the normal chutzpah necessary for successfully gatecrashing) but every party has at least one of each sex - and they always bring a bottle of sherry which never gets opened.

Dang XC, these vernons are deeply repulsive, contemptible, downright despicable! Yeah, and what is it with vernons and sherry?

No idea - I guess sherry is just a part of their culture - like cardigans. :nod:

Oh dear, nightmare visions of humorless mobs, vicious librarian wannabes and worse.

But on a happier note...-desperately trying to distract the cardigan wearing hordes by throwing links into the crowd- here's a cool URL to see the skeletons of cartoon characters.

Whew! I just had visions of Judge Judy glaring at me! I don't drop in very often, so I didn't see the post for a while. When I did, I was quick to give credit to the correct person. Do not call your lawyers, please! ;)
