(Note- I am really sorry if you're on dial-up!)

While playing the Sims tonight, I decided it would be fun to make the Hobbit Family, including Billy Boyd, Sean Astin, and Dom Mognahan. They threw a party to get to know their neighbors.

The party started out well enough when Drew Carey showed up first thing. In retrospect, they really should have quit when they were ahead.

Sean gets slapped for complimenting Mrs Goth Sr on her swingin' retro outfit

A true sign of a party! Would you believe that Clay Aiken is blasting from the stereo?

Quality stripper fun! This makes me think that the entire Goth family is anti-striper. Notice that Mr. Goth Sr is walking away, while Mrs. Goth Sr and Mortimer play volleyball. Bella is all about watching, however.

"Why didn't I go to med school?" the caterer wonders

I was watching Dom clean up some dishes when one of the guests got the fire icon. By the time I figured out what was going on, this is what I found! The only thing I could come up with was that Sean had shot off the fireworks thing, and it had hit the volleyball net. Apparently, if you're going to set something on fire, the BIGGEST THING ON YOUR PROPERTY is not a good idea.

Sean struggles to remember what to do in a fire. "Stop drop and.. YMCA?"

By the time Billy can start putting out the flames, Sean has died. Billy begs the Grim Reaper to excuse his pink speedo and let Sean live, but no dice. RIP, Astin.

Poor Ivan got a bit too close to the flames. Apparently, village people costumes are quite flamable.

Dom bargains for Ivan's life, and Ivan ends up as a Zombie.

In the midst of all of his fire-extinguishing action, Billy catches on fire himself. Dom tries to put him out, while the fireman looks away.

For the love of Peter Jackson, now Billy is dead! Kelly and a random orange-haired chick (yes, those are different things) stop by to say its been a great party, but its time for "When Animals Attack", so they need to get home.

Dom offers the Grim Reaper sexual favors for the life of Billy, but the Grim Reaper has other ideas.

They are playing Rock Paper Scissors. For the life of Billy. No, seriously.

Dom loses at Rock Paper Scissors, and Billy becomes a zombie.

Zombie Billy, who kinda looks like the Hulk, chills out in a green chair



Lets stop and examine the results of the party, shall we? First of all, we have about one hundred piles of ash that used to be a volleyball net.

Next, there is the dead guy and the zombie.

And the huge piles of trash.

And the fact that Dom is now obsessed with saving Billy via potion.

First, the red potion.

This brings Billy love!

Dom pouts over his lack of zombie love

Next is the purple potion



This turns Billy into a monster. Because obviously zombie wasn't bad enough.



Billy agonizes "First I was a zombie, and now I am stuck wearing suspenders!!"

Blue potion. We get the point by now.

Dom knows how this story goes, so he fixes a drink to prepare. Luckily, the potion just refreshes Billy, and makes him feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Dom's drink has the same effect.

Crap, Dom gets to this potion before I can make Billy drink it! (Billy is making burgers. Did he learn nothing from the whole fire is bad episode?

Thankfully, no monsters or drag queens, Dom just feels sickly. So, of course, he drinks.

Billy decides to take things into his own green little hands.

The maid is fantisizing about the BMW today's check will buy.

Apparently, zombies suck at potion making. Snape would be sad.

This time, the potion is orange.

This turns Billy invisible. An invisible zombie.

After waiting to be visible again, Billy makes another potion, yellow this time.

This reverses Billy's personality- HOORAY! So, now he has full personality points (as opposed to 0 being a zombie) but we still need to work on the green thing. I had to call it quits at this point, though, so I'll provide further updates later!
