The other day, this Facebook status fell on deaf ears.
So, I ask again:
Ever see those colored light bulbs in the store labeled “Party Lights”? I must have been invited to the wrong parties all these years. I have never been to a party with party lights. Please, if you’ve been to (or thrown) one of these zany-lighting parties… tell me what it’s like!
G.E.® Party Light Bulbs in Various Colors – 6 Pack – Standard Incandescent Bulbs
I’d like to be invited to a party with pink or blue or green light bulbs. Sure, I’ve seen the yellow ones in action keeping bugs off of a porch, and red ones in a dark room… and black lights (& the cheap black lights that don’t make stuff glow very well), but I’ve never seen party lights used for a party. I’ve eveseen Christmas lights strung up for a party. That can’t compare to the whimsical hilarity of putting in a green light bulb!

What’s a “party”?

Like a show, only without a band?

Well. That sounds pretty lame and pointless. I always got the impression parties were cooler than that. From people who go to those things. Maybe they were lying though.

Maybe they have these bulbs at Libertarian parties.

In the neighborhoods I work in, those bulbs are used to indicate the houses you can go to buy liquor.

Ha ha. I’ve heard that Red porch lights may indicate “cat houses”, but not liquor sales. I guess of the moonshine variety?
