The following is a list of things I learned yesterday when I went to Lorraine's 31st birthday party, with it's "80s birthday party" motif:
- Mikey Whiplash of ICW is, when not in the ring, actually a really nice bloke and not at all the perverted transvestite sex-pest he plays in the ring.
- Chris Renfew of ICW is, when not in the ring, exactly the same as the Glasweigan hard-drinking mentalist he plays in the ring.
- The Wee Man of ICW is, when not in the ring, not immediately recognisable: especially when dressed as Jareth from Labyrinth.
- Men dressed as Jareth from Labyrinth need to ask the ladies to form an orderly queue.
- The phrase "Silk Spectre is on the bouncy castle" exists within the lexicon of phrases I have seriously used.
- Nerds with a She-Hulk fetish may have a point.
- Nerds with a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fetish are a bit rarer but may also have a point.
- Raw broccoli has quite a strong smell.
- Winning at Pass the Parcel, even at 28, makes you feel like a champion.
- A soft-toy Gizmo from Gremlins will melt the hard of every woman of a certain age.
- Musical Chairs is best avoided when professional wrestlers are playing.
- Musical Chairs is even better avoided when professional wrestlers are playing and drunk.
- I now have need for a "Professional Wrestlers" friend group on Facebook.
