Last night I went to one of the most bizarre parties I have ever been to.  It
was held in the dorm room of a couple of friends of mine.  The prevous night,
they had gone to a nearby sod farm and purchased enough sod to cover the floor
of the dorm room.  Suprisingly, this only cost $16.  The sod was nicely pieced
together so it covered the whole floor of the room.  A little remaining sod
was used to cover a desktop.  The sod was somewhat dirty, so your feet ended up
needing a good washing.  I helped in laying the sod.

Since the party was supposed to be a "garden" party, attendees were encouraged
to dress appropriately.  Well, the Garden Of Eden was a garden, too.  I
obtained two Catalpa leaves, which I affixed to myself with masking tape fore
and aft.  When I arrived at the party, there was an audible gasp, but people
eventually came to grips, and I was able to mingle with the crowd.  I suppose
the reaction to my costume was because few people see so nearly naked a man
socializing.  Although my vitals were covered, I was "naked" down the entire
side of my body, which gave the impression of nudity.  Of course, I shook hands
and said "Madam, I'm Adam".
 
We ate melon and dranked iced tea, and walked around barefooted on the grass,
six floors above the ground. Of course we did not consume any alcoholic
beverages.  Among the ornaments at the party were pink flamingoes, a park
bench, and numerous plants besides the sod.  We listened to music and talked
and took photographs and wrote epithets on a large sheet of paper affixed to
the wall for that purpose.  An estimated eighty people had passed through the
party by the time it was over.  All in all, good clean fun, even if our feet
*did* get a little dirty.
