[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Yes! This isn't hard. Here's a simple flow chart:

I want to throw a BBQ.

Can I afford to buy food for everyone I want to invite?

If yes, YAY LET'S THROW A F'N BBQ!

If no-----

a) Cull the guest list until I can afford that many people 
b) Don't throw a BBQ. [/quote]

Well that is ONE flow chart.

Here's another.

- I have friends whose company I enjoy, and I would love to share a meal with them at my home. I don't have a lot of disposable income (I know that is a completely foreign concept to many DCUMers), but I'll see who's interested.

- Yay! They're all interested, because I don't have entitled uptight assholes for friends who are too dainty to bring meat and a chair![/quote]

Girl. I'm the furthest thing from a snob. I threw a Daytona 500 party this year because I just like throwing parties, okay. But EVEN I am not going to tote my own furniture and a cooler full of my family's food to someone's house so I can then cook my own family our own food there and clean it up and then drag my furniture home. If I'm cooking and sitting in my own furniture, I'm doing it at my house. [/quote]

I love how some of you can make something so simple seem so burdensome. This is quintessential DCUM.[/quote]

It is burdensome to take my furniture and own food to someone's house to cook it and sit on it there and then bring it home! In what world is that not burdensome? If you go to a hotel do you take your own bed? Do you take your own food to a restaurant and then hop in the back and cook it up on the grill? Fuck no! Because at a hotel they should have a bed for you and at a restaurant, the expectation is being served food! Otherwise, you'd stay home and cook dinner, not schlep it all there. Or you'd sleep at home, not the hotel.

If I got an invitation like this I'd laugh, but no, I wouldn't go, because I'd just cook my food and sit on my shit at my own house. They might be perfectly lovely people but why am I going to make something 10x harder on myself? I wouldn't be a dick about it and I'd still invite them to my stuff, but no, I'm not hosting myself at someone else's BBQ.[/quote]

LMAO! See, this is exactly what I mean. Only on DCUM would a folding chair (that most families I know of keep multiples of in their cars anyway) equate to "furniture". Furniture is a bed, a dresser, a sofa, a coffee table, etc.

But keep trying if you want. Oh, and be sure to include the word "schlep", like you did here. It makes it that much more dramatic.[/quote]

Uh we dont have folding chairs so not its not that easy.  You seem insane.[/quote]

Well then, I guess your choices are:

- don't go, and move on with your life
- get some folding chairs and go and have a great time
- don't go, and start a DCUM witch hunt[/quote]

A witch hunt?  Ok either this is OPs "friend" or you really are insane.  No one is as worked up as you dear....word to the wise chill the f-out.[/quote]
