Comments on 'You Know It's a Good Party When...'Eyes wide, Malcolm sat on the couch staring at nothing, saying nothing. All around him lay the detritous of yet another fabulous party. The walls of the hotel suite were ripped, dented and smeared with pate. The furniture, what was left of it, was overturned or covered with semi-conscious revelers. The floor was a sea of cans and bottles wherein swam pizza box whales.
Those who could do so began to stagger out of the room. Cleaning up is for suckers or hired help, after all. They all gave their compliments to their host, the illustrious Malcolm, star of stage and screen. Jokes were made. Innuendoes were butchered. Crass comments flew like rice at a wedding.
Finally, the slowest of the departing guests, a rotund, red-face man, gave the door a heavy slam as he left, partially because he was falling forward and still had a hold of the knob. With the reverberation of the door or perhaps the guest's impact on the wall, Malcolm tipped and toppled off of the couch, having died several hours earlier.2007-10-25T19:36:13Zhttp://ficlets.com/feed/story/10287Comment on You Know It's a Good Party When...<p>i loved that story dude !!!<br />so true !!!</p>

Clever, amusing, and interesting.<br />(I did want you to know that I sequeled <strong>BfE</strong>’s awful piece, not out of disrespect to you, but out of respect for how amazingly bad <strong>BfE</strong>’s piece was – the bad of an Uwe Boll or Ed Wood movie. Brilliantly, cluelessly, inept.)<br />Keep up the good work!</p>http://ficlets.com/stories/10287?basename=185322007-10-19T19:13:05ZHowie Amourscowhttp://ficlets.com/authors/user_396Comment on You Know It's a Good Party When...<p>I really liked this one, but the bad comments only enhance the good ones and shows who has taste and who doesn’t.<br />This doen’t seem like a high school piece<br />It <em>does</em> make sence<br />It was not a negative vibe<br />and if you want to know how to throw a good party ask google!</p>http://ficlets.com/stories/10287?basename=174832007-10-14T03:50:26ZSailor Emohttp://ficlets.com/authors/live_2_loveComment on You Know It's a Good Party When...<p>The unregistered users who have reviewed this piece in the past 12 hours are morons. Ditto for the people who still dont get it even after the clarifications. These are the people who read Lord of the Flies and go, huh?</p>
<p>The pizza box metaphor was perfect. Also, I think this works best as a short little story all on its own. To extend the story would be to tarnish what you just put together. Like what, are we going to chronicle the walk home? The clean up? im getting cut short..haha, ficlet nirvana</p>http://ficlets.com/stories/10287?basename=169342007-10-11T05:52:40ZFourSevenhttp://ficlets.com/authors/foursevenComment on You Know It's a Good Party When...<p>You are an excellent author, please comment upon my sequal.

I think you did a pretty good job though…</p>http://ficlets.com/stories/10287?basename=168322007-10-10T21:42:14ZUser 5743http://ficlets.com/authors/user_5743Comment on You Know It's a Good Party When...<p>Yay party!! I like how Malcom was dead</p>http://ficlets.com/stories/10287?basename=167972007-10-10T19:39:12ZN555champ /\and/\ X-Ninja (LoA)http://ficlets.com/authors/bigkittyproductionsComment on You Know It's a Good Party When...<p>Okay, lets start with:</p>
<p>And to answer Blueyedwonder, the idea behind him being dead was that everyone is leaving and thanking him like they care, but he’s dead.</p>
<p>Wtf does that mean? Is he actually dead, dead asleep? Thanking him like they care, people normally thank the host for letting them basically thrash his place.</p>
<p> BTW , are you in high school? Good write but it seems like you are practicing. Plus you use big words but you need to learn how to spell them or you look like an idiot instead smart.</p>http://ficlets.com/stories/10287?basename=167762007-10-10T17:30:21ZUser 5731http://ficlets.com/authors/user_5731Comment on You Know It's a Good Party When...<p>Wow, thanks for all the nice comments.
