I'd rather be at home with 12 people around the table.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I don't like sitting at a table that's too large, where everyone is too far apart. That's a party killer.
It used to be twelve people crowded around a sewing table; now it's ten.
I like being home for dinner.
I love home. I'd rather be at home than anywhere else.
Make your free men and guests sit as far as possible at tables on either side, not four here and three there.
I couldn't care less about league tables. I'm more interested in kitchen tables and conference room tables.
I'm a homebody, I'd rather be in the kitchen cooking than hanging out in a bar.
I'd rather play in front of a full house than an empty crowd.
Everybody is welcome to come to dinner, but there's going to be the adult table and the kids' table. Whiny people who want to throw food and make noise and interrupt and be rude and act like children, they can sit at the kids' table.
My table seats eight, so that's my maximum. Having a small number of guests is the only way to generate good conversation. Besides, your whole house doesn't get wrecked that way.
