Introduction:
In the summer of 1921, at one of Jay Gatsby's legendary parties, attendees were all agog with anticipation. The theme was "Roaring Twenties Casual," but as usual, Gatsby took things up a notch. The man had a reputation for extravagant gestures, but this time he planned something so grand it would make the Taj Mahal look like a garden gnome.
Main Event:
As the evening progressed, Gatsby, in his splendid attire, made a dramatic entrance with a live jazz band on a floating platform in his extravagant pool. The crowd was dazzled, and champagne flowed like a waterfall. However, Gatsby, in his enthusiasm, failed to consider the buoyancy of a grand piano in water. The band, the piano, and Gatsby found themselves unintentionally reenacting a scene from a Marx Brothers film. The crowd erupted into laughter as Gatsby emerged, drenched but smiling, exclaiming, "I guess we've just reinvented water ballet, old sport!"
Conclusion:
The Great Gatsby's grand gesture may have turned into a watery fiasco, but it left everyone in stitches. As the crowd dried off and the piano was fished out of the pool, Gatsby's indomitable spirit prevailed. "Well, that wasn't exactly what I had in mind," he chuckled, "but they say a little water never hurt anyone—except maybe the piano."
Introduction:
At the prestigious Charleston Ball of 1921, a dance competition was announced with a grand prize that promised eternal glory and a year's supply of flapper dresses. Enter Arthur, a mild-mannered accountant with two left feet but an indomitable spirit, determined to win the Charleston Challenge.
Main Event:
As the music started, Arthur's limbs transformed into a whirlwind of chaos, resembling less of a dance and more of a misdirected tornado. His flailing limbs sent feathers flying and knocked over several startled onlookers. The judges, torn between laughter and disbelief, exchanged bemused glances. Arthur's attempts at the Charleston became the talk of the town, and soon, a crowd had gathered, forming a makeshift Arthur appreciation society.
Conclusion:
In an unexpected turn of events, the judges declared Arthur the winner, citing his unique interpretation of the Charleston as a breath of fresh air. Arthur, still catching his breath, accepted the accolades with a bow. "Who needs traditional dancing when you can have the Arthur shuffle?" he quipped. The town, realizing the charm in chaos, embraced Arthur as the accidental dance sensation of the century.
Introduction:
In the small town of Prohibitionville in 1921, Mildred, an aspiring baker with a penchant for mischief, decided to test the boundaries of the town's strict anti-alcohol laws with her special "rum-infused" cakes. Little did she know, her creations were about to turn the town upside down.
Main Event:
Mildred's cakes became an instant hit, but when the local authorities got wind of the suspiciously spirited desserts, panic ensued. The town, fearing a cake-driven revolution, descended into a slapstick comedy of errors. The mayor, with frosting on his nose, declared a state of emergency, and citizens ran around like headless chickens. Mildred, innocently baking away, was oblivious to the chaos she'd unleashed. The town's detective, a bumbling soul with a penchant for pratfalls, slipped on spilled batter more times than he'd care to admit.
Conclusion:
In the end, as the town realized the cakes were more sweet than sinful, they collectively sighed in relief. Mildred, still unaware of her inadvertent rebellion, continued to bake, blissfully ignorant of the uproar her bootlegged cakes had caused. The mayor, wiping frosting off his monocle, declared, "I suppose a little rum in a cake won't bring about the end of civilization, but I do suggest we invest in non-slip shoes for our detective."
Introduction:
In 1921, Professor Harold McQuirk, a brilliant but absent-minded scientist, organized a reunion for his high school classmates. Little did they know that McQuirk's recent experiment in radioactive potato farming would turn the reunion into a glowing spectacle.
Main Event:
As the classmates gathered, they noticed a strange luminescence emanating from the punch bowl. McQuirk, with a twinkle in his eye, proudly announced his latest achievement in agricultural science. The potatoes, it seemed, had absorbed a tad more radiation than anticipated. The reunion turned into a surreal disco, with classmates sporting unintentional neon fashion. The laughter echoed as people marveled at their newfound radiance, sharing jokes about glowing in the dark and living double lives as human nightlights.
Conclusion:
As the night progressed, and the glowing effect showed no signs of fading, the classmates decided to embrace their newfound luminosity. "Who needs conventional reunions when you can have a radioactive rave?" McQuirk exclaimed. The reunion became the talk of the town, and McQuirk inadvertently became the trendsetter for avant-garde party themes. The town, now glowing with laughter and camaraderie, decided that sometimes, the best reunions are the ones that light up the night.
So, this list also has some dating advice from 1921. One of the tips is to always be a good dancer because, apparently, in the '20s, that was the key to someone's heart. I guess it makes sense; if you could do the Charleston, you were basically the Brad Pitt of the '20s.
But imagine if we applied that logic now. "I'm sorry, I can't date you. I've seen your TikTok dance, and it's a dealbreaker." It's like the dating app profiles would have a dance skills rating next to their photos.
And get this, it says that women should be coy and let the man take the lead. Well, nowadays, if you wait for a guy to make the first move, you might be waiting until the next total solar eclipse. We're in the 21st century; if you like someone, just send them a meme or something.
Let's talk about technology. According to these notes, in 1921, technology was a bit different. You know how we complain about slow internet? Well, in 1921, if your carrier pigeon was having a bad day, you were out of luck. Can you imagine sending a text message back then? "Just sent a raven with the message LOL. Should arrive in a fortnight."
And cameras! Oh, man. In 1921, taking a selfie was a whole ordeal. You had to set up a giant camera on a tripod, pose for an hour, and then wait two weeks for the picture to develop. No wonder people had that serious, stoic look in old photos; they were just tired of holding a smile for so long.
Nowadays, we've got smartphones with face recognition. In 1921, the only thing recognizing your face was your reflection in a spoon. "Yep, still got a mustache.
You know, I recently stumbled upon this list of "all occasions in 1921." And let me tell you, it's like a blast from the past. Apparently, in 1921, it was an occasion if you found a decent pair of suspenders. Nowadays, we just hope our pants stay up, and if they do, that's the real occasion! But in 1921, they were probably throwing parties for just about anything.
Seems like everything was an event back then. "Oh, it's Tuesday! Let's celebrate!" I can picture people going, "Hey, did you hear the news? They just invented sliced bread!" And everyone's like, "Well, break out the champagne! This changes everything!"
I'm just wondering, what would they think of our celebrations now? "Guess what, folks? They've got this thing called the internet, and you can order pizza without talking to anyone!" In 1921, that would have been like discovering fire or inventing the wheel.
Seems like we've downgraded our appreciation for the little things. Imagine if they time-traveled to our era and saw us celebrating Netflix adding a new season. They'd be like, "Really? That's the best you got? We were partying for a good harvest, and you're excited about more episodes of a show?
So, this list from 1921 also includes tips on socializing. It's like a guide on how to be the life of the party in the roaring '20s. One of the tips is to always carry a flask of your favorite beverage. Now, I don't know about you, but I think this is a tradition we should bring back. Imagine going to a job interview and just casually taking a sip from your flask. "Oh, this? It's just water. From the fountain of confidence!"
But here's the thing, the guide also suggests never being seen without a cigarette. Can you picture that in today's world? "Sorry, boss, I can't come to the meeting; I left my cigarette at home." We'd all be walking around like chimneys, trying to seal business deals with smoke signals.
And then there's advice on how to properly greet someone. It says, "Greet your friend with a hearty handshake, but don't be afraid to give them a friendly slap on the back." I tried that at a party last week, and let me tell you, my friend's chiropractor is still sending me thank-you cards.

I tried to join a support group for bootleggers. We meet every week at the coffee shop, and by coffee, I mean anything but coffee.

Celebrating Everything

1921 mentality: The potatoes are ripe! Time to print commemorative plates!
You ever go to a restaurant and they have those fancy water menus? Still water, sparkling water, water with a hint of cucumber and existential crisis. I just want regular water, not a life-altering decision. I don't need my H2O to come with a backstory and a sommelier.
You know you're an adult when you get excited about a new sponge for the kitchen. It's like, "Look at this bad boy, guaranteed to tackle the toughest stains!" I never thought I'd be passionate about cleaning supplies, but here we are, discussing the merits of a sponge like it's the MVP of the household.
I recently bought a plant because everyone says they're great for improving indoor air quality. Now, I talk to my plant every day. Not because it's scientifically proven to help the plant grow, but because if it dies, I want it to know it's not due to neglect—it's just my questionable gardening skills.
Have you ever been to a party where they have one of those "all occasions" gift baskets? You know, the ones filled with random stuff that says, "Hey, we weren't sure why you're celebrating, so here's a scented candle and a bag of mixed nuts." It's like they're covering all the bases, just in case you're throwing a celebration for finally organizing your sock drawer.
You ever notice how we all have that one drawer in our homes filled with miscellaneous items? We never really know what's in there, but we're too afraid to throw anything away. It's the "all occasions" drawer. Need a rubber band, an old receipt, or a key to a mysterious lock you can't find? It's in there.
I was at a wedding recently, and they had this elaborate cake with a miniature bride and groom on top. It got me thinking, wouldn't it be hilarious if we started doing that for all occasions? Like, imagine a cake for a job promotion with little edible versions of your boss and you doing a high-five on top. Sweet success, literally!
I recently received a party invitation that said, "Dress code: casual chic." What does that even mean? Are we supposed to show up in a ball gown with flip-flops? Or maybe a tuxedo with a Hawaiian shirt? It's like they want us to be comfortable, but with a touch of mystery, as if we might break into a salsa dance at any moment.
I received a text message from a friend that just said, "We need to talk." Instant panic, right? Turns out, they just wanted to discuss their new favorite TV show. Note to self: when initiating conversations, always start with, "This is not about our friendship; it's about the plot twist in episode 7.
