			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>By The Serge, LOS ANGELES &#8211; Prestigious Caribbean think tank MyGoodies released what amounts to a 35-year landmark study on parties, &#8220;Parties: a  Study&#8221;, today at Denny&#8217;s.</p>
<p>The result?</p>
<p>Most parties are bad.</p>
<p>&#8220;We went to over 6787698760 parties over the course of an average month, over the course of those average years in various straight and psychedelically-enhanced states of mind,&#8221; insisted Prof. Jack Jacques, who has found himself the subject of wide ridicule ever since he was born. &#8220;I only had a good time once,&#8221; he went on, &#8220;and that was at the first party, 35 years ago.&#8221;</p>
<p>Alongside the professor, leggy Fergie from the fabulous Black-Eyed Peas supergroup may have taken part in the study.</p>
<p>&#8220;Fergie is a people person and so chances are good she was there at least once,&#8221; said someone whom refuses to be named, at someplace sometime.</p>
<p>And, the parties were held in every locale you can imagine &#8211; from parents&#8217; basement to inside an aircraft carrier heading for Afghanistan and the fantastic war or terror!</p>
<p>But, &#8220;I was excited at first, y&#8217;know you think you&#8217;re gonna meet some interesting people, exchange email addresses and then go have sex in their car, but it seldom happens,&#8221; lamented Lamont Kolb, 50, an unpaid intern at thebrutaltimes.com. &#8220;Whatever you do, do not go to a Halloween party,&#8221; he cautioned, gripping my leg.</p>
<p>So, are people turning anti-social &#8217;cause of online gaming, hotmail, etc?</p>
<p>&#8220;People have always been anti-social,&#8221; says Kay Burger, 23, a philosophy graduate student at Tokyo&#8217;s Temple University, who is writing a book on parties, &#8220;My Party, vs Your Right To Party&#8221;, due to be released by MotherEarth Imprint next weekend.</p>
<p>&#8220;But the catch is that most people like anti-social people,&#8221; she went on.</p>
<p>Whatwhatwhat?</p>
<p>&#8220;The mystery of  &#8216;the Stranger&#8217; &#8211; what the French call &#8216;L&#8217;Etranger, and the Germans call &#8216;poopenshantz&#8217; is central to what it means to be a yuman being,&#8221; she kept talking.</p>
<p>Did you just say &#8220;yuman&#8221;?</p>
<p>&#8220;Yes, and I think that if you&#8217;re trying to to make fun of me, you&#8217;d do best first to look up the origin and usage of the word and then I think you&#8217;d find out I&#8217;m &#8216;in the know&#8217; and a member of a secret society.&#8221;</p>
<p>Ok, after I finish the article I do it!</p>
<p>Or will I?</p>
