Cyber-office Christmas Party today, 4 to ?
Don't forget, we'll be holding our annual Yule party this afternoon -- perfect for all you telecommuters out there. Everybody else gets a chance to make a fool of themselves at an office party -- why not you? Come as you are. What happens at the Cyber-office Christmas Party stays at the Cyber-office Christmas Party.

I bought seat belts for the END of the WORLD PARTY for tonight. Do not want to spin off the planet till I get a few vegi drinks, and sugar free puddings consumed .

People, please! It's impolite to arrive for a party 3.5 hours early.

Since this is my office, I'll be there. Can't expect to get any work done with all that merriment going on.

Just dropping by to see if you need any extra Christmas cookies (sorry, they're actual "Christmas" cookies, not "holiday" cookies) for the festivities.

I have plenty of interesting office party stories, but a journalism professor I had in the early Nineties had the best one I've heard yet. Long before her "Prozac Nation" days, Elizabeth Wurtzel used to work for him at the "Dallas Morning News" until she was fired for plagiarism. In Prozac Nation, she made a big deal about how she and her boyfriend at the time had sex on her boss's desk during the big Christmas party. Being the sort of guy he was (one of the few good and honest people in a den of entitlement brats and control freaks), he didn't get angry or grossed out. He just got a big sign reading "Yes, This Is THE Desk" and suspended it from the ceiling.

Oh, by the way: Portland Native? I hate to say it, but tequila would be more evocative of the Aztec. Let's just say that Classic Maya booze-ups were, um, a little more interesting. (I try to be careful about sharing these things, especially considering the audience. I'm waiting for some hipster here in Dallas to tell me "Oh, that is SO HUGE in Portland!", leaving me guilt-ridden for the rest of my life.)

And the theme for tomorrow's party...

I had my first ever Brandy Alexander at a party the other night. I don't know who Alexander was, but he sure knew what to do to Brandy.

TTR...I will skip the Mayan ritual of...ah hem....however when we were out in our sail boat 22 years ago, all the yachties knew that a similar ritual with believe it or not, clear chicken bullion was the best way to rehydrate severely sea sick sailors!
So thanks, but I will stick to the more modern Tequila ritual.
Be careful of those Brandy Alexander drinks, Sally! They go down easy, but can come back atcha, with a vengeance.

Yike -- talk about hijacking a thread! TTR -- Bad Dog!
Hey Jack! I was going to whip up some Bananas Foster in the break room, but I forgot the bananas. No matter, I brought Foster anyway and he's a riot:

I sure am glad I am already here!
I-5 is closed in 2 locations near Grants Pass because of the snow storm down there!
