The Party Bible

Brought to you by Connor and Dominic, founders of The 5th Year and scholars in the art of the party, this book serves up dozens of out-of-the-box ideas, along with advice on throwing a successful shindig and plenty of suggestions on how to take the shenanigans to the next level. You'll find ridiculously fun ways to get your drink on, like . . .

• Tour de Franzia: Spandex-clad partiers chant, "Go, go, go" as their wine-mouthed friends race through boxes of the classy stuff.
• Brownbag Surprise: Guests have to MacGyver their own costumes out of whatever's inside the brownbag they're given.
• Fake Wake: It's like a real Irish wake--except even the stiff's drunk.
• Donkey Punch Dinner Party: Where placing your Cleveland Steamer Meatballs between a bowl of Dirty Sanchez Seven-Layer Dip and a tray of Dutch Oven Biscuits isn't out of place.

  So ditch the popped-collar polos and wayfarers and move on from the played-out '80s theme. It's time to try something new. And as entertaining as it is instructive, this book is destined to become your gospel whenever you're looking for a good time. The party's on.
