Nah... I prefer this comprehensive overview.

HeDanny: Already off to a fantastically entertaining start! :D
Vegemite everywhere, throw some shrimp on the barbie, and put little jets in the toilets to make them reverse direction (assuming the party is thrown on the Northern hemisphere, of course). Everyone should bring a toad and leave them in very conspicuous and inconvenient places. Knives... everyone must bring a huge hunting knife, and they must compare these knives to other peoples and do very bad Crocodile Dundee impressions while doing so. Oh, yeah, and boomerang party favors for everyone.

How is that shaping up? :)

This theme really goes on with everything, hahah

Krypsyn: Well, it depends on if you go for the 7 continent model, the 6 continent model, or the 5 continent model. Not everyone views South America as a different continent than North America, just as not everyone views Europe as a separate continent than Asia.

There are 7 continents and not less! Europe and Asia are NOT one continent... My world-map on the wall can't be wrong ^^

There's either 7 or 8 depending upon how one counts. As you imply there, Europe and Asia are on different plates, so they can't be the same continent. They are a connected land mass, so they an be a super continent though. Same goes for the Americas, it's really 3 continents as there are 3 plates involved.
Popcorn is in most of the bars around here but the only notable times it shows up at a party is when it's in caramel-covered form. Which is awesome, by the way.

They did get this wrong, though:
The No. 1 thing that is at every American party is red cups.
No, the No. 1 thing that is at every American party is alcohol. Red cups are an accessory. Alcohol is a staple.

If you define continents by tectonic plates (as most people do, myself included), then you are certainly correct. However, one can also define continents as just contiguous land masses. The 5-continent and 6-continent models are very much valid, if perhaps a minority view at this point. Although I was replying in a tongue and cheek way, I was not just pulling my response totally out of my rear. ;)

Edit:
Heck, on skimming that wiki, I'll note that the Olympic Committee used the 6-continent (with the Americas as a single Continent) sans Antarctica to form the Olympic Rings symbol.

amok: Look. Why can you not just stop using those blasted red cups? bloody americans *grumble*
I don't get the fascination with plastic cups. Or is it just because it's red. We have the clear ones to. Do Europeans really buy a shitload of bottled beer and not expect to find broken glass all over the place? Kegs of beer and solo cups is the answer.

We even have solo cup wine glasses and shot glasses

Don't forget the Foster's...because Foster's is Australian for beer.

I'm genuinely surprised that there aren't more guns.
My teen years were spent with gutter punks, goth weirdos, and skinheads, so my experiences with parties are a bit... chaotic. It usually would start out with a few beers and joints and end with someone getting pushed off a balcony or someone getting some car keys punched into their skull. As with anything, mileage may vary... caveat emptor... and all the rest.

My favorite parties were the ones back in the 90s with my pals where we'd get bombed out of our heads and spend all night on the couch playing Mortal Kombat until the sun came up. I'm not sure if those type of parties are on the list either.
Crap, I thought the thread would be about political parties.
Now.... what is my current beef with something vaguely on-topic... oh yes, this!

Ad in Moscow, entitled bitchface: "I prefer my cappucchino with cheesecake". Because the entitled bitchface can't eat breakfast at home and drink her preferred beverage at the office, she has to go out for coffee and cheesecake and laughing at the salad, and she is so deep into coffee culture she doesn't talk about how she likes to go out for coffee, no, that's a given. Like "I prefer to have my toenails trimmed by blonde prepubescent girls." Damn I hate the coffee culture.

In actuality, I believe that is true, but it was a big ad campaign here in the USA with multiple commercials that end in that statement. Check my link on my original post for an example.

You fooled me, you are very aware of those commercials. I now remember your recent move to the land of cheap game prices.

I know. Oddly enough most of that beer is bottled in Canada. Apparently it's not good enough to brew on Australian soil.
