This is the first in our new series of Friday Fun Interactive Posts where we ask for reader feedback on a variety of topics.
Today’s inaugural topic is the Sausage Party.
Everybody knows that when a group of guys get together it’s affectionately called a “Sausage Party”. This is so widely used that it has become a generally understood term in young society’s lexicon. In today’s gender equal world, however, it seems troubling that there is no widely accepted term for the female equivalent.
For years I’ve been using the self-coined phrase, “Chilean Sea Bash”, but this tends to be met with a confused reaction more than one of immediate understanding.
So now I’m opening up the floor to you, kind readers. Do you have a term that you and your friends typically use to describe a party of only (or mostly) women? If not, can you think of a good one?
Leave responses in the comments.
**Please remember that this is a company blog so I encourage you to use discretion and try to make your responses appropriate. Thanks!**

Upheaval in Dating & Social Interaction
Facebook, Twitter, SMS, and mobile technologies have helped people exponentially grow their networks of friends and have created a drastic shift from one-to-one communication to one-to-many. How does this affect how people date, connect, and socialize in real life? How does this affect the outreach efforts of communities, businesses, and event-driven industries?

A new trend started!
We brought some of our old school Ignighter flyers with us, and before we knew it, people were putting the flyers on their shoulders and snapping a photo.
‘Why’ you ask? We’re not exactly sure. But we’re digging it!
Ignighter Guys:
Brett and Rob got into it too:
Not just a guy thing:
A construction worker, a valet, and the late-night security guard at Carl’s Jr.:
Celebrities (and Brooke Hogan) too! It’s really a phenomenon:
Pretty cool huh?
***What’s even cooler is that if you, kind readers of the Ignighter Blog, take a picture of yourself with your own “Ignighter Shoulder” and email it to adam (at) ignighter (dot) com, I’ll post it!
If you don’t already have an Ignighter flyer, email me your address and we’ll mail you one for the photograph. Or simply make a color print of the image below, cut it out, take a pic, and send it in to us!***

Last week we threw a Democratic Unity Party in which we brought together Clinton and Obama supporters on a group date in NYC. Obama Girl herself was even there interviewing the guests. We’re happy to announce that the party was a big success.
Check out the photos and Obama Girl’s new Ignighter video here.
