Everyone Loves A Party

You're Not Invited

At first glance, any normal person seeing this in their mailbox would be excited that they’d been invited to a party of some sort followed by crushing disappointment when this was not the case. Luckily for everyone here at Emails From Crazy People, David Thorne is not that person.

Dear Matthew,
Thankyou for the party invite. At first glance I thought it may be a child’s party what with it being vibrant and having balloons but I realise you probably did your best with what little tools were available. I wouldn’t miss it for the world. What time would you like me there?

Regards, David.

Hi David
Sorry the note was just to let you know that we might be a bit loud that night. The house warming is really just for friends and family but you can drop past for a beer if you like.
Cheers Matthew

Thanks Matthew,
Including me in your list of friends and family means a lot. You and I don’t tend to have long discussions when we meet in the hallway and I plan to put a stop to that. Next time we bump into each other I intend to have a very long conversation with you and I am sure you are looking forward to that as much as I am. I have told my friend Ross that you are having a party and he is as excited as I am. Do you want us to bring anything or will everything be provided?

Regards, David.

Hi David
As I said, my housewarming is just for friends and family. There is not a lot of room so cant really have to many people come. Sorry about that mate.
Cheers Matthew

Dear Matthew,
I can appreciate that, our apartments are not very large are they? I myself like to go for a jog every night to keep fit but fear leaving the house so I have to jog on the spot taking very small steps with my arms straight down. I understand the problems of space restrictions all too well. If you would like to store some of your furniture at my place during the party you are quite welcome to – if we move your cane furniture into my spare room for the night and scatter cushions on the ground, that would provide a lot more seating and create a cozy atmosphere at the same time. I have a mirror ball that you can borrow. I have told Ross not to invite anyone else due to the space constraints so it will just be us two and my other friend Simon. When I told Simon that Ross and I were going to a party he became quite angry that I had not invited him as well so I really didn’t have any choice as he can become quite violent. Sometimes I am afraid to even be in the same room as him. So just myself Ross and Simon. Simon’s girlfriend has a work function on that night but might come along after that if she can get a lift with friends.

Regards, David.

Wtf? Nobody can come to the houswarming party it is just for friends and family. I dont even know these people. How do you know I have cane furniture? Are you the guy in apartment 1?

Hi Matthew,
I understand it is an exclusive party and I appreciate you trusting my judgement on who to bring. I just assumed you have cane furniture, doesn’t everybody? Cane is possibly one of the most renewable natural resources we have after plastic, it is not only strong but lightweight and attractive. Every item in my apartment is made of cane, including my television. It looks like the one from Gilligan’s Island but is in colour of course. Do you remember that episode where a robot came to the island? That was the best one in my opinion. I always preferred Mary Anne to Ginger, same with Flintstones – I found Betty much more attractive than Wilma but then I am not really keen on redheads at all. They have freckles all over their body did you know? It’s the ones on their back and shoulders that creep me out the most.

Anyway, Ross rang me today all excited about the party and asked me what the theme is, I told him that I don’t think there is a theme and we discussed it and feel that it should be an eighties themed party. I have a white suit and projector and am coming as Nik Kershaw. I have made a looping tape of ‘wouldn’t it be good’ to play as I am sure you will agree that this song rocks and has stood the test of time well. I am in the process of redesigning your invites appropriately and will get a few hundred of them printed off later today. I will have to ask you for the money for this as print cartridges for my Epson are pretty expensive. They stopped making this model a month after I bought it and I have to get the cartridges sent from China. Around $120 should cover it. You can just pop the money in my letter box if I don’t see you before tonight.

Regards, David.

Hello Matthew,
I agree that it is not very convenient and must admit that when I first received your invitation I was perplexed that it was on a Sunday night but who am I to judge. No, I am in apartment 3B. Our bedroom walls are touching so when we are sleeping our heads are only a few feet apart. If I put my ear to the wall I can hear you. I also agree with you that having a particular theme for your party may not be the best choice, it makes more sense to leave it open as a generic fancy dress party, that way everyone can come dressed in whatever they want. Once, I went to a party in a bear outfit which worked out well as it was freezing and I was the only one warm. As it won’t be cold the night of your party, I have decided to come as a Ninja. I think it would be really good if you dressed as a ninja as well and we could perform a martial arts display for the other guests. I have real swords and will bring them. If you need help with your costume let me know, I have made mine by wrapping a black t-shirt around my face with a hooded jacket and cut finger holes in black socks for the gloves. I do not have any black pants so will spray paint my legs on the night.

It is a little hard to breathe in the costume so I will need you to keep the window open during the party to provide good air circulation. Actually, I just had a thought, how awesome would it be if I arrived ‘through’ the window like a real ninja. We should definitely do that. I just measured the distance between our balconies and I should be able to jump it. I once leaped across a creek that was over five metres wide and almost made it.

Also, you mentioned in your invitation that if there was anything I needed, to let you know. My car is going in for a service next week and I was wondering, seeing as we are good friends now, if it would be ok to borrow yours on that day. I hate catching the bus as they are full of poor people who don’t own cars.

Regards, David.

WTF? No you cant borrow my car and there is no fucking 3B. I reckon you are that guy from Apartment 1. You are not coming to my house warming and you are not bringing any of your friends. What the fuck is wrong with you??? The only people invited are friends and family I told you that. It is just drinks there is no fucking fancy dress and only people i know are coming! I dont want to be rude but jesus fucking christ man.

Hello Matthew,
I have been away since Thursday so have not been able to check my email from home. Flying back late today in time for the party and just wanted to say that we are really looking forward to it. Will probably get there around eleven or twelve, just when it starts to liven up. Simon’s girlfriend Cathy’s work function was cancelled so she can make it afterall which is good news. She will probably have a few friends with her so they will take the mini van. Also, I have arranged a Piñata.

Regards, David.

  16. Spyne says:

    Hmm, somehow I can’t shake the feeling that all these letters from David Thorne are somewhat fake…I mean this is like the 4th story from him?!

  17. Alowe2009 says:

    Wow man wow… did he ever show up? that is so hilarious. >.<

  18. kt says:

    haha, i wonder did he actually turn up at the party, that wuda been class

  19. Caghs says:

    Yeah, this is a hoax. Either that, or Matthew’s too thick to see that this David guy is messing with him …

    It might have started off as a misunderstanding, but he’s definitely messing with him in the end.

  20. Caghs says:

    Also a really good way to scare your new neighbour off having a party … or to get a restraining order filed against you … whichever ;)

  21. OMG HALARIOUST says:

    OH AHAHA LOLOLOLALOLOALALOLOL!!!!

  22. Dave says:

    LOL. Great stuff. Thanks for the lulllzz…..

  23. Frank says:

    I cried a little, that was so funny.

  24. Towel says:

    I have to say that David Thorne has to be one of my favorite people who have posted on this site. He seems to be able to turn anything to benefit him. I hope he keeps posting this hilarious emails, because they make this site so much funnier.

  25. GunsandTacos says:

    “I myself like to go for a jog every night to keep fit but fear leaving the house so I have to jog on the spot taking very small steps with my arms straight down.”
    LOL

  26. Ben Zurawskiviolett says:

    I want to see what happened next! Did you guys ever run into eachother after this? He deserves it…with that invitation tease and all..

    • Chibiman says:

      Yeah! Why didn’t he just write it out on a plain piece of paper? Using a party invitation to say “I’m having a party! You’re not invited!” is just cruel.

  27. MG says:

    David you f***ing crack me up. Genius…thats all I can say…your a freakin comic genius.

    Cant wait for the next one!! Hoping there will be.

  28. stinkbug says:

    Ha ha ha poor guy in apt 1. He is so going to get reamed for no reason of his own. Ha ha our heads are only inches way from each other!!!! Psycho

  29. ben says:

    How is david throne in all of these emails?

  30. Carlos says:

    How does completely ripping off the content of David Thorne’s website make this “via” David Thorne? This is plain ip theft and you should be ashamed.

  31. Anony says:

    As much as I enjoyed posts such as the seven legged spider or “they are very small ducks”, I have to wonder: Am I the only one slowly getting tired of D.T.’s ‘jokes’? It’s like watching Tom Green..or a four year old.. doing the same stuff over and over and hoping he’s still getting attention. The fact that this website is full of his comedy only dulls it more quickly.

  32. TrippinBalls says:

    lawlerskates. matthew was pretty nice about it at first, but david does a great job as an agitator ha. kudos, mate, kudos.

  33. Me, Myself, I says:

    I would have done the same thing if some jerk has posted that around the floor and not invited anyone else; I would have also had the cops on call just for that evening.

    I have a feeling that ‘David Thorne’ is a cover name for protecting privacy.

  34. nicitha says:

    “Every item in my apartment is made of cane, including my television. It looks like the one from Gilligan’s Island but is in colour of course. Do you remember that episode where a robot came to the island?” delicious fun =D

  35. Thagen says:

    How would they know each other’s e-mail addresses if they don’t even know each other?

    • Robert says:

      Matthew’s email was on the ‘invitation’. Then Matthew would have his from the email of course.

  36. nick says:

    Epic Win!

  37. N. Jakobsen says:

    This is full of win.

  38. Barbieh says:

    AWESOMEEEEEEEE hahahaha

    I want more David Thorne emails right now xD

  39. earthlingmike says:

    Dear Matthew: Just to let you know, if people show up at your door in police uniform, it means they probably are police telling you to shut the fuck up.

  40. George says:

    It’s funny, but it’s obviously made-up, which seems to go against the principle of having genuinely weird emails that just happen to be weird.

  41. Juan says:

    “How would they know each other’s e-mail addresses if they don’t even know each other?”
    Probably the part of the invite that said “email matthews” and then gave Matthew’s e-mail address.

  42. Eluria says:

    Thagen, the e-mail address is on the not-invite

    • Aoife says:

      Yes, yes it is. It is blanked out though, just as the mobile number is. I highly doubt dialing ‘04′ gets people Matthew.

  43. OnAndOnAnon says:

    “Also, I have arranged a Piñata.”

    Best. Line. Ever.

  44. Kit-Kat says:

    Oh, that’s a good one :3

    I REALLY want to know how THIS turned out XD

  45. Amy says:

    “Our bedroom walls are touching so when we are sleeping our heads are only a few feet apart. If I put my ear to the wall I can hear you. ”

    LOL

  46. Rocco says:

    Never laughed so hard at an internet posting. FOR REALL!! SO FUNNY!!!!

  47. Judi says:

    I really want to know if he showed up at the party!!

  48. Not sure what to believe says:

    Personally, while I find this hilarious to read.

    I know people that would do things like David is doing seriously and not screwing around to play with some guy’s mind.

    Even if David is trying to be humorous, it really isn’t funny to keep going on. The first two or three are funny, beyond that JERK. Justifiable Homicide comes to mind for folks like David.

  49. Brett says:

    David Thorne is one of the funniest guys on the net. I wish we could get more e-mails from him on a weekly basis. :)

  50. Oh my, that’s funny…

  51. lewis says:

    shot down!!

  52. Crocanti says:

    This is ridiculously funny….the ninja part finally killed me haha

  53. Bunny says:

    Plenty more David Thorne at his website: http://www.27bslash6.com/

  54. Sarah says:

    Perfection.

  55. amy K. says:

    omg i love him. I LOVE HIM.

  56. Aw man…Now I’m sorry I skipped this thread until I was really bored…The smartass guy gets major points in my book for creativity…

  57. brianguy says:

    pinata… hahaha. he shouldve been much more careful about putting his email out there on a “non invite” flyer!

  58. Melanie says:

    What the fuck is the point of sending an INVITE if it’s only for friends and family? Asshole.

  59. ANA says:

    Melanie: It was NOT an invite. Read it again!! He’s letting people know he’s having a party and that it might get noisy. Does he ever say “you’re invited”? NO. Does he even mention what time the party begins? Again NO. Now I understand why that psycho David Thorne assumed he was invited…

    • Aikisenshi says:

      ANA, The point is, with all the festiveness of the paper, it LOOKS like it would be an invite, but it isn’t, when you read the text. So David Thorne decided to mess with the guy, and point out, in his own absurd way, that the message was a really stupid thing to send out to your neighbors on ‘birthday invitation’ paper, and then include his email address and phone, like someone expecting an RSVP.

    • Kath says:

      God, ANA, you’re quite stupid, aren’t you?

  60. Wendy says:

    omg hilarious

  61. Jen says:

    Um, Does no one realize this whole thread is a joke? It’s funny, but not serious!

  62. Jane says:

    OMG My stomach is killing me!!! I have tears running down my face.
    David Thome, Marry me!!!
    xoxoxo
    Love,
    Jane

  63. Caroline says:

    i love this david guy, bloody brillant :-P

  64. Eragwyn says:

    So creepy even if it is fiction – I swear thats another David I know…

  65. Sebastian says:

    This looks like a crossover with “emails from an asshole” at http://www.dontevenreply.com... o.O

  66. Christine says:

    It may just be me but I don’t really like David Thorne as I don’t really appreciate trollers.

    On another hand, I’m not sure if he would be counted as a “crazy person”.

    • theSnark says:

      To quote a line in Death Note: Another Note:
      “Pretending to be abnormal…Well, just the idea of doing that is abnormal enough.”

  67. Goldfish says:

    Asshole, the guy was polite and it was nice of him to warn his neighbors before it. David Thorne just fucks with what little politeness there is the world.

  68. dashood says:

    those last two really give it away as a piss take.

    scary stuff though, i really hope it was a piss take, cos that was a special kind of crazy and actually quite scary before you get to the end! kinda like the blair witch project really

  69. lilllmcgil says:

    FAAAAAAAKE

  70. Jeevas says:

    3B.

    Their heads are only a few feet apart when they sleep. And he has a television made out of cane.

    Woo hoo hoo, isn’t that intimate. I can feel the house warming up already.

  71. JP says:

    Cane is possibly one of the most renewable natural resources we have after plastic

    wow i didnt know plastic was renewable!
    lol.

  72. Trucker Pete says:

    I have to say, this one smacks of dontevenreply.com

    And I mean that in an awesome way!

  73. Tracey says:

    I want this guy for a neighbor.

  74. roo says:

    i think he’s being purposefully weird and creepy to make a point about the stupid non invite matthew posted to everyone

  75. Ame42754 says:

    I think it’s brilliant. Michael was such a douche sending out invites that weren’t invites that he deserves the crazy!!!

  76. caro says:

    i haven’t laugh that hard in a long time

  77. Metalcraze says:

    I don’t get it?
    A new guy moves in and he is polite to his neighbors so they won’t be disturbed so David decides to be A jerk and crash his party?
