Nobody. Even aliens like fizzy ice cream bath things. Unless baking soda is poison to them and they melt. On second thought, let's stick with the embroidered pillows or a Royal Wedding commemorative tea cozy.

:lol: -excellent choice. Perhaps Rainbow could join you and do some interpretive dancing.
There's nothing more soul-destroying that spending a lot of time, money and effort to travel to a distant and exotic place only to be forced to endure a round of cod 'traditional' dancing during dinner.
