...when he is smallest, and Clouseau's oblivious, unfazed determination is the perfect vehicle for him. But whenever these little men become remantic, as in Edwards' The party or Strikes Again, Sellers begins to take himself more seriously (his narcissism, unfortunately, bleeds through even when these characters fumble their love-making attempts), and in Strikes Again he lost his timing and embarrassed himself.

Have a modest meal--some medium-priced seafood, perhaps (lobster is okay if you can afford it)--and a carafe of Chablis. Don't overdo it: you should emerge a wee bit sloshed and pleasurably filled.

...thoroughly revolting rites of passage you will ever have to endure. Of course, you don't have to go. The place is filled to the gills with people looking to lose their virginity, or whatever, and it can be a real turn-off. Then again, you might fall in love. And remember, classes start on Monday, so get ready to settle down. Have a good week, and if you don't, well, it'll all be over soon...
