The ancient Egyptians worshiped the party god "rama-lama". On the first day of each year, rama-lama was honored with solemn religious rites, during which the pharaoh would crush a drinking goblet against his forehead, then sacrifice a rubber chicken.
The Romans threw toga parties which were so wild, crude and depraved that they could be found on any uni campus today. The Romans also developed the food fight, the water balloon and an early form of musical chairs, in which the losers were fed to the loins.
The spirit of partying survived in the dark ages, thanks to dedicated groups of Irish monks who patiently copied and re-copied jokes from old roman cocktail napkins.
During the Middle Ages the most popular types of parties were the merchants fair, the jousting tournament, and the hundred years war. There was a slight drop-off in celebrating in the 14th century, when it was not unusual for parties to end early because all the guests had died of the black plague.
Ancient Chinese parties often featured fireworks. On one occasion a banger accidentally exploded in the hat of a great Chinese sage and for the next 3 year he told nothing but knock-knock jokes.
The puritans came to America seeking the freedom to party in their own way. Curiously enough their idea of having a good time was to sit down and not have one, while making shore no one else was having one either.
In the days of the Wild West, fun was in such short supply that gangs would often steal an entire party, including the paper plates and the dip.
In 1912 a group of politicians headed by teddy Roosevelt deiced to organize a bull and moose party. However, as the moose refused to talk politics, trashed the buffet and was generally very hard on the furniture, the idea was a flop.
People partied hearty in the USA during the roaring 20ís. Gangsters often threw lavish ìrubbing outî parties, where it was not unusual for the guest of honor to get into a conga line and disappear from the face of the earth.
The creation of rock ëní roll in the 1950ís meant that parties could now be so much fun it would drive you neighbours (and most of your guests) up the wall!
Now to the modern day party. All you need is very loud music, groups of people snoging on the stairs and basic chaos using nothing else but some alcohol, a gold fish bowl and your own imagination.
And everybody in the end had a really good time!
Thanks for reading and get partying

Anyway, great swinging post. By the way VB, thanks for that info. I've always wondered how to produce those queer accents on top of letters, without having to open another window.
