Things I learned last night

• It's not a real party unless a late-straggler climbs in the window.
• On a related note, vehicles passing by will stop or slow down to watch the spectacle.
  
• Hospitality is letting your guests know you cooked your "baby" just for them.
• There aren't levels of heresy, just different types.
• It is possible to run into people off-line who are familiar with and adore XKCD.
• The moment one half of a married couple mock-strangles his/her spouse, out comes the camera.
• As soon as one person mentions "nudism," the noise will drop to a lull as everyone pauses the various side conversations to listen.
• A conversation that begins with nudism eventually transitions to "boobs." That said, the conversation needn't devolve into fifth-grade-boy chortles, amazingly enough.
• Also amazingly, it is still possible to be in a room full of people and have only one person with Internet on his phone.
• Finally, showing up in a cape is a sure-fire conversation piece.
