I have a friend who is turning 40. She has everything and has far better taste than I in everything. So, some friends were thinking of having some kind of fun delivery at the restaurant where we're going Saturday evening. I need ideas.

Here's what I'm hoping for: 1) ideas for fun restaurants for couples who have kids but get to have a dinner out without the kids, and 2) some kind of fun delivery at the restaurant (like a singing telegram type of thing) or 3) something totally fun and new and different that we can do. We're thinking outrageous and silly (probably not a stripper though) that we can do for a dear friend.

If you could get North Raleigh Guy to come by with his trombone for a Happy Birthday solo, I think it would be fun and memorable. I hear he works for beer...

So that means you need to go totally tasteless for the whole party. Have dinner at McDonalds. . . . go bowling. . . . . wine from a cardboard box. . .

Your candygram idea made me think of the old SNL skit of Land Shark-- I'm totally shpwing my age here. Wonder if you could have someone dress up as a shark and deliver a Candy Gram?! (maybe you and your friend were too young to remember this skit-- but it would be funny!) Or I like the idea of going totally tasteless. My BIL had a "Green Leisure Suit" party where everyone dressed 70's-- that would be funny to go out to dinner like that...

Wiffle bat parties are a big thing these days and something I've been meaning to try out. Basically, you buy a whole bunch of wiffle bats (here's 12 for $45) and pass them out to the people at the party, and let 'em go to town. Since they're made of light plastic, you can wail on each other pretty hard without causing too much injury.

I caught a peek of a wiffle bat party in the private dining lounge at The Pit in downtown Raleigh. They looked like they were having a blast.
