Oh, if only the 10 year reunion for Australian party boy Corey Worthington was real

Maybe one more party won't hurt.

Ah, 2008: Where MySpace still reigned supreme, people were doing that Soulja Boy dance, and an Australian teenager with yellow sunglasses named Corey Worthington had the wild house party of your dreams.

That was nearly 10 years ago, and such a milestone calls for a celebration. Well, now there's a Facebook event worth looking forward to called "Corey's Party: 10 Year Reunion!"

"As I'm sure you're well aware, we're approaching 10 years since that rager at Corey's place. Thought we could all reunite for a little catch up, 10 years on!" the event's description reads.

Unfortunately, it might not actually happen despite having thousands of potential attendees, but at least the real Worthington has given the event some recognition.

For those who don't remember, Worthington was a 16-year-old boy who threw a massive party at home while his parents were away. 500 teenagers turned up, as did police, equipped with helicopters.

But the real gold in this moment was Worthington's live interview with Australian TV program A Current Affair, which went viral. Worthington refused to take off his glasses at the interviewer's insistence, and the rest, as they say, is history.

Since then, Worthington has become something of a living meme, appearing on the local version of Big Brother, and making a bit of a career hosting random club nights around the country. His party was also reportedly the inspiration for 2012 film Project X.

But like many of us in recent times, Worthington has grown up, getting himself married and settling in the suburbs.

Deep down though, maybe just one more party won't hurt.
