When he reaches for one of the Kölsch beer bottles, I plan to grab it from him claiming 'property rights': for it was me who bought the Kölsch and I have decided not to share any with him. ;) Edited April 24, 2011 by Xray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caroljane Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 I just wanted to warn everyone that if any of you violate my cake rights at JR's tea party, I will retaliate with extreme prejudice.JJonathan, I have it on good authority that there will be enough cake to go around. A large devils-food one out of which at least one surprise guest will jump, and smaller marble cakes baked in shape of LP's last remaining one.

Jonathan Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 I just wanted to warn everyone that if any of you violate my cake rights at JR's tea party, I will retaliate with extreme prejudice.How are you defining your cake rights, Jonathan?My cake rights are Peikovian in nature. When there is property which is common or shared, and whose ownership is in question, such as a last piece of cake at a party, then the person who "calls it first" is the rightful owner.Additionally, in this post, I pre-"called it first" on all existing and future last slices, as well everything else in the universe that no one has previously claimed to own. So, if you show up at JR's tea party before I do, and try to "call it first" on any pieces of cake or pizza, etc., be aware that I've already beaten you to it, and that if you attempt to take the last piece, you will be guilty of a vicious assault on the idea of property rights.J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's a talented artist, so I doubt that I'd "go to town" on an image of a cake that he painted. I generally only rip on him for his wrongheaded ideas, not his art.J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A large devils-food one out of which at least one surprise guest will jump, and smaller marble cakes baked in shape of LP's last remaining one.Will these pieces of cake each have labels with their intended owners' names printed on them? If not, then they will be considered shared or common property, and will therefore be my property since I had the foresight to officially call it first.J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jriggenbach Posted April 25, 2011 Author Share Posted April 25, 2011 A committee has been struck to remove JR's Thelonious Monk collection from the premises before the party. Volunteers?Well, you know, The Management (as we call ourselves when we throw a party) does adapt to particular circumstances relating to the guest list. If we know a particular guest is coming and a has a fondness for a certain cheese - say, havarti or esrom - we make arrangements to have that cheese on hand. If we know a particular guest doesn't like jazz, we can easily set up an entirely classical program for that evening.JR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
