nonpareil \non-puh-REL\:
Having no equal; peerless. Something of unequaled excellence
Certainly nothing tops a David Shelby party. It is in-and-of-itself nonpareil. At no other party could 6 well-meaning government employees, 4 contractors and one extra from the Census Bureau finish off almost two full bottles of Rum and half a bottle of Tequila and Bourbon on a Tuesday evening and yet ALL manage to make it into the office the next day (except for the extra from the Census Bureau who I hear worked from home).
Just before getting on the metro headed in the wrong direction, as Todd was lying in the middle of the street and Timoni was hysterically laughing that he tripped over his own feet (which he hadn't -- he did it because I dared him to), I spent a moment being thankful for my friends. I do, somewhat, compartmentalize my friends, though not on purpose -- there's my bible study (some of the best friends I've ever had) and my church friends and then there's the ATM. What can one say about the ATM that is at once non-sentimental and bitterly honest? There's only one word: Nonpareil.
To quote from the Official ATM Playbill of The King & I:
King: You will say no more!
Anna: I will say no more, because there's no more to say!
Happy Anti-Valentine's Day!!
Anna: This girl hurt your vanity... she didn't hurt your heart! You have no heart! You've never loved anyone and you never will.
