I need help with my list of unreasonable demands for "LaraFest '07."
As of tomorrow, it is one. month. until my (30th) birthday.
I have warned my husband that if there are not festivities of a magnitude that would eclipse the celebration of the new millennium, my vengeance will rain down like toxic spittle from the mouth of an angry God.

So far, my demands for said festivities include:

Giant martini glass that I can swim in.
(I saw one on t.v. I *know* he could get one, if he tried.)

The invitation and attendance of every person I have ever even modestly liked.

Sculpture of my likeness in monterey jack cheese.

A giraffe

I want the lawn astroturfed.

Gigantic buffet including assorted cookie doughs.

I want the house to smell like cherries.

A luge run.


That's ALL I have. HELP!

4. I freaking love olives.
Once I stole a five gallon jar of queen-size olives from the cafeteria at my school.
And forty place-settings of silverware.
And a lot of granola.

I figured I wasn't using half my meal plan, so I might as well even the score.

Or is this a family celebration?

12. Fly out to New England
I'll buy you the 40oz Martini at the local martini place.

The lifesize cheese version of you, is up to you. It would be wise to have it crafted in a seated position, so you can sit next to it on the plane.

and charge you an extra ticket.

The sun must shine on a 70 degree day.
A cloud of angels must sing your praise.
And don't forget the 31 flavors of ice cream to go with the cookie doughs.

33. A Republican must be sacrificed upon an altar so its entrails can be examined.
That is the only way you will know if people should 1)Grovel before you 2)Kowtow before you or 3)Prostrate themselves before you.

For example, if you find gravel in the Republican's gizzard, then 1)Grovel is correct. If the said Republican has four stomach chambers, as does a bovine, then clearly the answer is 2)Kowtow (see -- "Cow"tow"). If the Republican's prostate gland is enlarged, then obviously you'll know the appropriate behavior to expect is: 3)Prostrate.

How can you possibly be part of an event featuring _you_ in a giant martini glass, if the crowd is under-dressed?

42. The Monkees creep me out
and would probably necessitate the presence of a medical team and defibrillator on premises.
That involves money that could be better spent on vodka. and live miniature reindeer.

53. The Blue Angels fly by overhead
And the Thunderbirds.

The Blue Angels must create your likeness in the sky with the smoke trails they make, and the Thunderbirds must write "HAPPY THIRTIETH BIRTHDAY LARAMN MAY THE ROAD RISE TO MEET YOU AND THE WIND ALWAYS BE AT YOUR BACK"

And a twenty-one gun salute. Tell the Navy to get a battleship on Lake Superior for the event.

And a parade. We need a parade. Something with a lot a floats and bagpipes and marching bands and baton twirlers and a King and a Queen. And classic cars. And Shriners. Lots of Shriners. And a platoon of Elvis impersonators on 10-foot-tall stilts! Throwing out Tootsie Rolls!

And a World's Biggest Hotdish competition!
