Lumps on Logs

If you can't skate, don't attend a SKATE party.

If you're not going to dress up, don't attend the COSTUME party.

If you're not into games, don't attend a GAME night.

If you don't like to read, don't join a BOOK club.

If you don't indulge in meat, don't attend a BARBEQUE! What do you think they'll serve...only salad?!

Moral of the story:

If you don't participate in the required or, shall I say, specified activity, regretfully decline. You serve no good purpose watching everyone else partake in the said activities. You tend to make others feel uncomfortable ogling and onlooking. Seat holders are only useful at award shows, and even then; they ask you to clap, cheer, and stand at particular times. I'm just saying; it's annoying to the other guests and especially the host if and when you don't participate after saying you would by accepting the invitation! It's a sure-fire way to never be invited again! After all that is the point of extending an invitation, you know? The request that you WILL participate or at least...what's the word: ATTEMPT!
