We probably should roll that rug up.

Hi there,
I'm Randy. May I see your permit, please?
Posted by Randy Leonard | December 22, 2011 4:03 PM
Hello there! I finally made it to Portland and I brought two of my family's holiday specialties: my Mom's Cranberry Cake and my Dad's Egg Rolls. Where can I set up my deep fryer?
Oh, that 12 year-old single malt? That's for the after party. I also brought some cigars to go with it. Happy Holidays!

Look, there's an envelope on the floor. Did you drop that?
Posted by Jack Bog | December 22, 2011 4:06 PM
Mmmmm... egg rolls.
Posted by Jack Bog | December 22, 2011 4:06 PM
A Merry Christmas to you and yours Jack...again thanks for your fantastic work. I'm about to open a Cabernet and have some snacks.

Anybody want a grasshopper?
Posted by Jack Bog | December 22, 2011 4:13 PM
Uhhhhh Jack it looks like some animals may have been harmed during the production of the treats in your oven. Not that that isn't a good thing mind you.
Excuse me I have to answser the door...YE GADS, it's the PETA bellringers!

It's all made of tofu.
Posted by Jack Bog | December 22, 2011 4:16 PM
I've brought some homemade rye whiskey. Let's put it over by the sink. Gotta keep it away from the stove and the holiday candle display.
What music is that I hear playing on the sound system?

Sorry I'm late, I was in the kitchen prepping for dinner and also getting things ready for Christmas dinner this weekend.
I wanted to say I really appreciated the comments posted on Buck a hit. It was hard to pick one because at least 4 were top notch. Some real talent out their.
I will step in and out. I'm doing a take on the green bean casserole. Just snapped the beans, will cook with a little fresh onion and garlic to infuse flavor. Have some garlic in the toaster oven brushed with Olive oil roasting.

Jack, one of the wise men is missing!
(Do you have some BBQ dipping sauce?)
Posted by dman | December 22, 2011 4:25 PM
That's cool, dman!

Jack, Merry Christmas and thank you for your fund raising efforts. I missed yesterday, but want to help out.
Your posts yesterday mentioned the "Power of Friendship". I want to expand that with the "Power of 10". I'll donate $1 plus $10 for each charity.
But I'll expand that. In regards to Harry's post under your "Last Call" blog where he donates for "The Church of Jack for Mayor", I'll donate $100 to your exploratory Mayor's cost.
Then I'll expand that to $1000 when you declare.
Then I'll expand that by contributing time to collect from all of us raising an additional $10,000. That will be easy.
Bless "The Power of 10". And let's all have a drink to celebrate Jack For Mayor.
Posted by Lee | December 22, 2011 4:32 PM
OK, now we are talkin'! Caviar! Jack, you throw a helluva shindig!
Posted by Jill-O | December 22, 2011 4:33 PM
Later on tonight we're going to remove a dam.
Chocolate vodka, or regular?
Posted by Jack Bog | December 22, 2011 4:39 PM
Is that free range caviar?
And two glasses of vodka?
Wild!
Posted by Ben | December 22, 2011 4:39 PM
I need to scrape my plate - where's the compost bucket?
Posted by umpire | December 22, 2011 4:40 PM
It's right over -- oh geez, excuse me. Stenchy! No!!
Posted by Jack Bog | December 22, 2011 4:43 PM
Um, Jack? Your "pet" is eyeing the egg rolls...
Posted by tommyspoon | December 22, 2011 4:45 PM
Dang that vodka and caviar hit the spot!
(also cut the grease from the not so wise man caper)

Posted by Jack Bog | December 22, 2011 4:47 PM
All my Christmas work is done, time to relax. On drink #2. If my wife calls don't let her know I'm here, she hasn't forgotten last year.
By the way, is Stenchy staying home for the holidays? I hear most of his family is spending the winter in North Plains.
Posted by Gibby | December 22, 2011 4:49 PM
Oh Urp. sorry about the Carol Smith promo on the tunes.
Posted by dman | December 22, 2011 4:49 PM
Mmmm! Tasty grasshopper Jack!
Should I just leave my slop bucket on the porch for now?
Posted by NoPoGuy | December 22, 2011 4:51 PM
Hey Jack the toilet is overflowing.
Posted by Ben | December 22, 2011 4:52 PM
I rushed to get to the party. So glad Portland is a 20-minute town. I just barely made it within the 20 minutes in my SUV going as fast as I could in all the rush hour traffic. I heard a thump when I crossed the intersection at the freeway -- do I get some extra vodka if I hit a biker?
Posted by Nolo | December 22, 2011 4:55 PM
Who wants an egg roll? I saved most of them from Stenchy.
Posted by tommyspoon | December 22, 2011 4:56 PM
Dang their is like 20 bikes on your porch!
Oh wait.. wrong house!
Posted by dman | December 22, 2011 5:01 PM
Hey, there's someone I want you to meet:
Posted by Jack Bog | December 22, 2011 5:04 PM
"Hey Jack the toilet is overflowing."
Ben, show some class!
You never tell the host his toilet is overflowing...
You just casually mention that you saw Mayor Adams and a teenager go in there and lock the door.
Posted by Harry | December 22, 2011 5:06 PM
Hi, do you mind that I brought a date? Oh, and can you direct me to the bathroom ...
Posted by Sam Adams | December 22, 2011 5:06 PM
"Bless "The Power of 10". And let's all have a drink to celebrate Jack For Mayor."

I'll drink to that!!!
Posted by Harry | December 22, 2011 5:09 PM
OK I had to run out and barf in the Sam Adams bioswale. Thank god for his foresight!
Posted by dman | December 22, 2011 5:09 PM
I gotta run home and let the dog out - I'm on Tri-Met, so it'll be a couple of hours. Save me an egg roll.
Posted by umpire | December 22, 2011 5:11 PM
Wait, how old was this lad, and next to his head saying no minors!?
Posted by dman | December 22, 2011 5:11 PM
He loves these:
Posted by Jack Bog | December 22, 2011 5:15 PM
Love the guy in the sweater.
Posted by Cynthia | December 22, 2011 5:16 PM
I brought fruit cake....for Stenchy!
The brandy is for the rest of us! Brandy Alexander anyone?
Whoops! Gotta watch out for that whipped cream canister!
Posted by Portland Native | December 22, 2011 5:16 PM
Does Stenchy have family in the area?
Posted by Ben | December 22, 2011 5:20 PM
Rolling on the floor laughing over the cookies. OK did the missus do those? some naughty friends? I hope the little ones didn't see them and ask questions!
Posted by dman | December 22, 2011 5:23 PM
Is that the first keg giving out already? You people were thirsty.
Posted by Jack Bog | December 22, 2011 5:25 PM
Oh, as I've said before, I love Stenchy. I left work early as (given the way Christmas falls this year) the phones were dead and nuthin was happening - so I poured the first one at 3:30. Our Christmas party is tomorrow but I just had to weigh in on the Jack Bog Blog on line party~!
Posted by nancy | December 22, 2011 5:26 PM
Wait a minute!
How come Sam's date has the same red eyes as Stenchy?
Are those 2 related?
Posted by Portland Native | December 22, 2011 5:35 PM
I drank way too much, and much too quickly, and the door to bathroom is still locked.... if Sam doesn't hurry up, I'm gonna have to go outside and use his bioswale instead.
Posted by Harry | December 22, 2011 5:36 PM
Use the green roll cart.
Posted by Jack Bog | December 22, 2011 5:37 PM
Good thing I brought my own Coors Light.
I knew Jack and the rest of you libs wouldn't have any of the real beer I like.
I just saw some of Portland's finest down the street. If any of you drink too much you better not drive.
Just stay here and snuggle up with Stenchy for the night.
BTW what's the crowd capacity here?
Posted by Ben | December 22, 2011 5:37 PM
Although I have to say - there is something about this that says - "uh, you need to get out more"!
Posted by nancy | December 22, 2011 5:38 PM
Uh oh, it's my parole officer -- I invited her but I didn't think she'd actually show up. Here, hold this.
Posted by Jack Bog | December 22, 2011 5:38 PM
Posted by Jack Bog | December 22, 2011 5:43 PM
That's not your parole officer, Jack, it's Randy in drag!
Posted by Portland Native | December 22, 2011 5:43 PM
Hey everybody, sorry I'm late but I had to set up the miniature light rail train set under the recyclable tree.
Posted by Rich | December 22, 2011 5:43 PM
The bathroom door is locked and the shower is running. I can hear two voices and sounds of horseplay. Is there another bathroom I can use?
Posted by reader | December 22, 2011 5:44 PM
I found a friend for Stenchy. http://www.costumes4less.com/Evil-Rat_VA682_Prod.aspx. I hope they can get along for the party. I forgot, is Stenchy a friendly sort or is he strictly a loner?
Posted by Nolo | December 22, 2011 5:49 PM
Is it a 'slapping' sound? If so, you can assume it is innocent horseplay and not worry too much about it. Not sure I should even joke ironically about this.
Posted by nancy | December 22, 2011 5:49 PM
It's what they call management coaching.
Posted by Jack Bog | December 22, 2011 5:50 PM
Later on we can go over and look at the "alien nativity 3d light show".
But I need to drink more first...it's OK we can call a cab.
Posted by Portland Native | December 22, 2011 5:51 PM
Sam, have you lost weight?
Posted by Ben | December 22, 2011 5:57 PM
We were hungry before the party started so stopped at the Laurelwood Pub for happy hour, started with a great IPA the Apocalypse, a dark IPA, getting ready for the party...
had such a good time last year...
remember that lady with glasses under the mistletoe some of the guys really had eyes for her,later I remarked that they must have had too much to drink as it was Vera?

Posted by Jack Bog | December 22, 2011 6:04 PM
Ah Jack? you know those, um "fragrance challenged" people that took the last of the egg rolls went back out to your front yard and have tents set up?
Posted by dman | December 22, 2011 6:04 PM
Why are Randy Leonard and his "Hit Squad" of goons lurking in the bushes outside?!?!
Posted by NoPoGuy | December 22, 2011 6:05 PM
Hey Jack what's the policy on these bottles I found in your liquor cabinet? If they are already open can we go ahead and use them?
Posted by Rich | December 22, 2011 6:06 PM
Mic Check! ON THE FIRST DAY OF CHRISTMAS...
Posted by Tom | December 22, 2011 6:07 PM
Ben, there's a case of PBR on the front porch, that is if Rabdy's goons haven't drunk it yet.
Posted by Portland Native | December 22, 2011 6:08 PM
Sorry, I meant Randy's goons...well you know wha I mean...
Posted by Portland Native | December 22, 2011 6:09 PM
MY TRUE LOVE GAVE TO ME...
Posted by Jack Bog | December 22, 2011 6:11 PM
Dear Mr. Bogdanski-
The collective consciousness that is Occupy Portland objects to your "cyber office party" as it is the absolute embodiment of the 1%. This elitist gathering of people with Internet access is an injustice to all of us. That said, Mayor Adams and Chief Reese are allowing our movement to cyber squat your party from the library PC's and your neighbor's unsecured Wi-Fi hotspot. We are bringing nothing, we are expecting everything.
By the grace of Guy Fawkes and in solidarity.
Occupy Portland

Oh no, a big bus just rolled up, looks like the bus project kids want in to tell us how great Jefferson is...are you going to let them in Jack?
Posted by clinamen | December 22, 2011 6:15 PM
Portland Native is already slurring his words.
Jack can I be the bouncer?
Posted by Ben | December 22, 2011 6:17 PM
Whaddya mean schluring my wooordsss?
Posted by Portland Native | December 22, 2011 6:22 PM
Where's Bill McDonald? Is he in the backroom putting on the Santa Gear? Please say yes.
Posted by Mojo | December 22, 2011 6:22 PM
Lemme tell you about composting ...
Posted by Sam Adams | December 22, 2011 6:23 PM
We need some songs to sing together a few drinks later. Originally written for the Bojack office party songs!
Posted by dman | December 22, 2011 6:24 PM
Has anyone seen my designated drinker?
Posted by Tom | December 22, 2011 6:24 PM
Hey Sam, can you make youself smaller, like in real life, puleeze?
Posted by Portland Native | December 22, 2011 6:29 PM
Lots of "behavior change" goin' on around here!
Posted by Mojo | December 22, 2011 6:29 PM
I just got home and read the comments. You know who came off as a star? Randy Leonard. I love the way he brings the humor in his comment. That shows the right stuff. Best wishes for a better 2012, sir.
I'm going to share my annual Christmas joke. I wrote it around 15 years ago and I'm trying to make it a Christmas tradition:
You've got to hand it to Santa Claus. How many guys can tell their wives, "I'm going out all night and I'm not coming home 'til I empty my sack"?
Ba-dum. Thanks Jack for making this possible and best wishes everyone.--BMCD
Posted by Bill McDonald | December 22, 2011 6:36 PM
Can somebody help me with this Yule log?
Posted by Jack Bog | December 22, 2011 6:37 PM
Ethos Music sent over an entertainer:
Posted by Jack Bog | December 22, 2011 6:40 PM
Is that a fireplace yule log or a desert kinda yule log?
Posted by dman | December 22, 2011 6:41 PM
Ooooh, like a real bouche Noel ? I love chocolate!
Posted by Portland Native | December 22, 2011 6:43 PM
Hey, glad Bill showed up. Now we need Allan and maybe even Keri or Carla from BO. But Torrid is too busy commenting on company time to be bothered to show up here.
Posted by Harry | December 22, 2011 6:44 PM
Sorry I'm late. Didn't know your street turned into a one-way! By the way, the campers in your front yard are being kicked out cause someone is starting to build a condo. Sorry about the fence. Nice elf hat, Jack!
Posted by rainypdx | December 22, 2011 6:59 PM
What kind of JOBS is Sam offering?
Posted by Bill Holmer | December 22, 2011 7:02 PM
Merry Christmas everyone!
Posted by Portland Native | December 22, 2011 7:03 PM
Portland Native,
Thanks for sharing the brandy.
Merry Christmas.
Posted by clinamen | December 22, 2011 7:07 PM
Merry Christmas everyone. What a swell party, Jack, thanks for the invite. I make great Brandy Alexanders served with a traditional Italian holiday treat. I brought the ice cream, brandy and ice. Do you have a blender?
Posted by f.jones | December 22, 2011 7:08 PM
Sam just left with the Yule log!!! OMG!
Posted by Z | December 22, 2011 7:10 PM
Hey, this is interesting. Somebody just handed me the answers to the firemen's exam.
Posted by Jack Bog | December 22, 2011 7:21 PM
JOBS buttons on Mayor Adams lapel reminds me of President Gerald Ford's WIN buttons
on his, pretty sure, lapel.

Sorry I'm late. Ran into a guy who just had his van stolen. In the spirit of Christmas, I insisted on driving him to his home up near Mt Hood...but for some reason he jumped out of the car when I stopped at a traffic light in Rockwood. Hope he makes it the rest of the way.
Posted by Cass | December 22, 2011 7:40 PM
Old guys remember that S!!T
(see somewhere above)
Oh, b-t-w, Jack I am sorely pissed at the outcome of "A Christmas Carol."
ARE THERE NO WORKHOUSES?
ARE THERE NO PRISONS?
Christmas.
Bah!
Humbug!

Hey, somebody: throw another record on the barby, will ya?
Posted by Mojo | December 22, 2011 8:03 PM
Hey, Jack, is that car full of clowns in the street the entertainment you hired? Oh, wait. It's only the parade of debased ... I mean debateable rightwing fringe.
Jack, they're bawling so loud I can't hear the music. Can't you give them a job doing something ten blocks down the street, Assistant Leaf Sweepers around the gutter grates or something?
Just give me a bourbon and water. Make it a double. And a brandy chaser.
Posted by Tenskwatawa | December 22, 2011 8:07 PM
For crying out loud: Who's fistfighting in the back yard?
Posted by Jack Bog | December 22, 2011 8:12 PM
I think it's McDonald and Jefferson Smith.
Posted by Jack Bog | December 22, 2011 8:16 PM
It gets worse. This was the week I was supposed to interview Kim Jong Il.
Posted by Bill McDonald | December 22, 2011 8:30 PM
Jack, I just flew in from Canada, eh? Is there room in the manger in the backyard? Have your chickens all gone to roost by now?
I think I can get this guy outta here before morning.
Posted by Tenskwatawa | December 22, 2011 8:32 PM
Posted by Jack Bog | December 22, 2011 8:39 PM
I'm here in the back, giving some useful advice to a couple of the members of the City Council.
Posted by Isaac Laquedem | December 22, 2011 8:39 PM
Glad you're here Tenske! Big horned sheep and all!
Where's Jim Karlock?
Sorry about the Kim Jong Il interview, Bill! Maybe you can get a gig with the youngster dictator?
Posted by Portland Native | December 22, 2011 8:41 PM
I think Leonard is sitting in the hot tub sulking.
Posted by clinamen | December 22, 2011 8:42 PM
Jack I just saw Bill double dip.
He dipped. Took a bite and then he dipped again.
That's gross.
Posted by Ben | December 22, 2011 8:46 PM
Hey everybody, the bartender's going home at 9 -- after that, you have to pour your own.
Posted by Jack Bog | December 22, 2011 8:52 PM
Good place for Randy,
is the temp. too hot?
He just loves Soaking!
Soaking us with high rates.
Sulking if we don't agree!

Wow, far out. Man, it's been a busy week. Let me sit down here in this comfy-looking easy chair...
Posted by Jack Bog | December 22, 2011 8:58 PM
Um Jack Jack Jack At least I have a medical card!
Posted by dman | December 22, 2011 8:59 PM
Hey everyone,
Just imagine how much Jack could raise for charities and how big the party would be if he was Mayor.
Write in candiate?
Posted by Ben | December 22, 2011 9:01 PM
Ben,
Whats worse, is that boy cat came in and sprayed on your Coors Light!
Evenin' folks.
Finally got around to stopping by.
Posted by Starbuck | December 22, 2011 9:01 PM
That meat manger in the oven could be in serious danger of consumption any minute now.
Ben, there is more beer out back in the cooler. I'll find the spray bottle to deter boycat. .
Posted by Portland Native | December 22, 2011 9:08 PM
Jack,
I'm sorry I was running late.
Looks like quite a party, with a wide range of guests.
Was that Randy I passed on the way in?
BTW, what's with the Big "U" Decal on your
front door?
Ewwww... Cat Sprayed Coors Light!
Posted by PDXileinOmaha | December 22, 2011 9:09 PM
Starbuck just got here, are people going home already, last year the party went on into the wee hours!
Posted by clinamen | December 22, 2011 9:09 PM
Gosh, I just got back after raising some money, and you're closing up.
Posted by Lee | December 22, 2011 9:17 PM
Coors Light *is* cat spray.
Posted by Jack Bog | December 22, 2011 9:17 PM
Ahhhh...wow, Jack. Good (cough) stuff--gave me the munchies. Too bad Sam took off with the wiennies...

Posted by Jack Bog | December 22, 2011 9:19 PM
Hi everyone... evening Jack, sorry I'm late. The DSMs (Devil Slave Master) had me stay late, and I have to get back by 6 AM to make sure the production meets the expectations of the Wall Street analysts. (Just like the booze in Jack's eggnog, not too much, not too little, just right.)
Posted by Old Zeb | December 22, 2011 9:21 PM
Jack,you took the words right out of my nose!
Posted by Starbuck | December 22, 2011 9:24 PM
The guy in the hallway's all right. Let him sleep.
Posted by Jack Bog | December 22, 2011 9:24 PM
I saw Randy nailing that U sign on the house, too, Xilein. I think it means that Randy has certified the food at this party as meeting Kosher rules. (So, Randy is a rabbi? Who knew? Never mind, don't answer that, I don't want to know who or how.)
Posted by Old Zeb | December 22, 2011 9:26 PM
Not rabbi, rabid!
Posted by Starbuck | December 22, 2011 9:29 PM
I took everyone's advise and went on the back porch to get a cold one.
Beings that I have a Concealed Weapon Hand Gun Permit, this nice guy I met tending the keg named Lars and I took the liberty of shooting the coyote that was in your backyard.
Where'd ya want us to dump the carcass?
Posted by PDXinOmaha | December 22, 2011 9:30 PM
Damn! I must be getting old...I just can't consume like I used to.
Posted by Portland Native | December 22, 2011 9:30 PM
Is that guy sleeping in the hallway, Saltzman?
If so, don't wake him up.
Posted by clinamen | December 22, 2011 9:42 PM
Clinamen, how do you tell the difference?
Posted by Starbuck | December 22, 2011 9:43 PM
Dump it at city hall on your way home...let Sam compost it!
Posted by Portland Native | December 22, 2011 9:44 PM
Well don't dump the dead coyote at Ringlers... and damned sure don't dump it at The Burger Barn.
Posted by Old Zeb | December 22, 2011 9:46 PM
(Oops! That came out much louder that I thought -- hope HMLA-267 didn't hear me.)
Posted by Old Zeb | December 22, 2011 9:50 PM
Starbuck,
He is so laid back, I'll be damned if I can tell the difference.
Posted by clinamen | December 22, 2011 9:51 PM
WE'RE GOING STREAKING!!!!!!!!! WOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
Posted by NoPoGuy | December 22, 2011 9:53 PM
With him, your damned if you do and damned if you don't.
Posted by Starbuck | December 22, 2011 9:53 PM
PDXinOmaha,
No more for you.
That was the neighbors dog and the keg tender was Nick Fish.
Posted by Ben | December 22, 2011 9:53 PM
Ben,
Am surprised that uppity Nick Fish would show his face at this party.
Leonard must have called him on the cell phone to come over and join him in the hot tub.
Posted by clinamen | December 22, 2011 10:00 PM
I thought that Lars business at the keg a bit fishy.
Posted by Starbuck | December 22, 2011 10:02 PM
Hey! A new game for city council to play next year:
Gauche Make a Sound
Posted by Starbuck | December 22, 2011 10:14 PM
I was going to ask the Mayor which colored bin I should recycle my shell casings, but Sam just ran by me naked singing an old Ray Steven's tune...
Boy, Ben, your right, I've had way too much.
Posted by PDXileinOmaha | December 22, 2011 10:15 PM
Jack, thanks again for a great party -- you always have the best guests and funniest drunks. I gotta' get my beauty sleep. (Yeah, there's another boat I missed.)

Hey all! Sorry I'm late, this is my third party of the night. The last one was lame so I "rescued" this keg of Jubel Ale. Doubt they'll miss it at the Arlington Club.
Jack, you don't happen to have one of those diamond-headed taps lying around?
Posted by panchopdx | December 22, 2011 10:17 PM
Whoa this weeks Republican front runner just showed up! None of the Above! Have a seat.
What's your Poison?

Where was Mr. Grumpy tonight?
A Ms. Gloom showed up at the party tonight
was sitting in the corner waiting for him
said she and wanted to cheer him up.

Where's Jim Karlock?
Locked in his car.

panchopdx,
Don't think the Arlington club will miss that keg.

Good Night All.
Sorry about the neighbors dog.
Have a wonderful and safe Xmas.
Posted by PDXileinOmaha | December 22, 2011 11:01 PM
panchopdx, bring that keg back -- we're holding a conclave over here on SW Salmon Street to pick the next mayoral runner-up.

Apparently Officer Thumper doesn't like streakers. (even when Sam and Randy joined in...ick) He just called for the Chiers van to take a bunch of us to Hooper Detox...night all and Merry Christmas.
Hey, wait...Officer Thumper is in his car drinking Starbucks, reading about steroids, and not paying attention, I'm outta here...good thing the neighbors dog isn't around any longer, I'm jumping the fence and running home!

On behalf of continental Europe, I just wanted to chime in and say that "Bacon Nativity Scene" is completely brilliant.

Wow. Where did everyone go? I guess I must have fallen asleep on the couch. It looks pretty messed up in here -- cat piss, empty PBR cans (must have been from Ben), the faint smell of rotting sausage, a couple of rats feeding on the cheeze whiz (I think they figured out how to use the spray nozzle to feed themselves) -- all in all, looks like everyone had a blast. Well, I have to pry my eyes open and get back into my SUV and home to bed. Don't know if I should lock the door, but the music is still playing... Good night, and Merry Christmas to all the good fellows of Jack Bog's Blog.

Wow! I'm really late tonight. But at least I brought a bottle of Appleton Estate 12 year old rum with me from Reno. You know it's one of those items the jerks over at the OLCC never allow in their stores. Where's Ben and Jack? They need to try some of this stuff...

Wow, that's the most comments since Bristol carried Sarah Palin's love child with Glenn Rice, or was it the other way around?

Oooooooh!!!!!!!!!
Ummmm, oh yeah....humph!

Mr. Grumpy regrets to inform that he couldn't make it because he had a date with the family.
BTW, Mr. Grumpy doesn't generally need cheering up except where it concerns the city he once loved.
Posted by Mr. Grumpy | December 23, 2011 9:01 AM
OK, where are we? What happened?
Posted by Allan L. | December 23, 2011 9:10 AM
Allan, is that a tattoo on your face? And why is your front tooth missing?
Posted by PDXileinOmaha | December 23, 2011 9:16 AM
Bill, Glenn Rice? I was certain that was Glenn Beck.
Posted by PDXileinOmaha | December 23, 2011 9:19 AM
No egg rolls left? Check.
No more scotch? Check.
One last cigar with my morning coffee? Check.
Great party, Jack! I drained the oil from the deep fryer into an empty plastic milk container I found in the recycle bin. Maybe Stenchy would like some of it for breakfast.

Sorry about those beer stains on the rug, Jack.
Last time I'll ever try to tap a keg with a tire iron.

My sentiments exactly.
Merry Christmas &
Happy New Year.

Speaking of cheering up, how about Kobe? First his wife leaves him and now he's torn a ligament in his wrist. How much more can his sex life take?
Posted by Bill McDonald | December 23, 2011 9:49 AM
Damnit I missed the party.
Stupid corporate email was slow again and I didn't get the party notice in time.
Why don't they just switch to Google mail instead of that Microsoft Exchange Server 1999?
This tele-commuting sucks.
Merry Christmas everyone!

Jack,
You're in big trouble with your girls.
This place is a mess and it wreaks.
And look out there.
There's crap all over your front yard and a car is parked on the lawn.
How embarassing.
And where's Stenchy? Did someone let him out?
I'm leaving.
Posted by Ben | December 23, 2011 10:00 AM
Does this look infected to you?
Posted by Jack Bog | December 23, 2011 10:05 AM
I will add it is amazing the spirit that people have
despite the plans of monsters and misfits in charge.
As I saw the essence of my city being taken,
I vowed that my spirit would not be taken as well, so far so good.
It has been helpful knowing the good ones at Jacks blog, Thank you so much.
We have a new year ahead.
Merry Christmas &
Happy New Year.
Posted by clinamen | December 23, 2011 10:18 AM
Who WAS that guy in the red sweater Jack? I thought he was a friend of yours. He went a little nuts on the punch (who would bring punch to a Christmas party anyway?), and try to start a caroling group (yeah, sure!), but never got his name.
Posted by Nolo | December 23, 2011 10:31 AM
Way Cool!
I propose a toast to the King of Portland Bloggers!

To you Jack Bogdanski!
Merry Christmas
Happy New Year;
Keep shining the light and exposing the darkness.

I interviewed the great Phil Stanford recently and asked him if he missed writing his column. Here's what he said: "If I want to read a column, I tune in Jack Bogdanski – I think he’s great."

Caution: Never take ibuprofen (Advil, et al.) or acetaminophen before, during, or recently after alcohol consumption. Toxic to the liver. Use aspirin (or functional eqivalent). Or, very hot, spicy, Mexican or Thai or Indian food.

Hi everyone.. I would like to share an experience with you all, about
drinking and driving.
As you well know, some of us have been known to "tipple" during this time of
the year. And I did so last night at the cyber party.
I had a few too many beers and some rather nice single malt scotch.
Knowing full well I may have been slightly over the limit, I did something I've never done before ..........I took a bus home.
I arrived home safely and without incident, which was a real surprise, as I
have never driven a bus before and am not sure where I got this one.
Posted by Nonny Mouse | December 23, 2011 12:05 PM
We are going out dancing tonight, and already planning to cab it home. We are even going to let someone else drive.
Posted by Jack Bog | December 23, 2011 12:44 PM
Knock knock...anyone around? In my haste to jump the fence and run from Officer Thumper I left my slop bucket here. Have to make sure I have it with me at all times in case one of Sam or Randy's goons check up on my composting efforts. I would hate to not be a beloved member of the green class. Lol
Posted by NoPoGuy | December 23, 2011 1:22 PM
NoPoGuy; I think I saw Randy trying to bail out the hot tub with a slop bucket last night.
Posted by Portland Native | December 23, 2011 2:38 PM
What a weierd Saturday morning....thought the aftereffects of the party would be long over by now...apparently not.
Some guy named McFarlane showed up pounding on the front door about o dawn thirty screaming about his buses. Finally got him calmed down enough to be semi coherent and he says I have to take 99 more, as I agreed Thursday night...something about him needing to cut bus routes and frequency of service, and he can't do that with a straight face unless he gets rid of hundreds of buses...said I was the first fool he could talk into taking 100 buses off his hands....

"I was wunderin'...may I use your lavatory?"
"No."
"Thass all right. I knew you'd say that, so I went ahead and pissed in yer garden."
Posted by Texas Triffid Ranch | December 26, 2011 9:48 PM
I figured you'd show up eventually.
Better outside than last year.
Well, I'm out of here. Jack, I know you begged me not to use your bathroom, so I didn't. Just don't use your dishwasher for a while, either, okay?
