I love Christmas time

Anyone named Mary Jo is likely to stab you.

Or drown in a questionable car accident.

Worth the immediate bump........

RIP buttsecs. He was a funny fuck

I think it's cisgender ginger phallus.

a little presumptuous to know which way it swings?
maybe sapiosexual?
i hear that's hot among the gingers

How could I forget. Have another egg nog Teddy!

Good point. It's for the ginger pal to determine his sexual preference and gender identity.

In this special season above all others, how could I forget that?

not often it gets into the 20's in town -- feels almost wintry & seasonal
so tonight's a good night for a brown liquor



double wood, ftw

cheers!

That looks tasty. Merry Christmas indeed.

Nothing more warming than some brown water.

An annual Christmas goodie:

The Haters Guide to the 2016 Williams Sonoma Christmas Catalog

Some of my favorites:

You can buy a container of “peppermint snow” from Williams-Sonoma for $18.95. You can hand-appliqué your cookies with it! Or you can take a twenty-dollar bill and burn it in front of a homeless person. There’s really no difference.

Every time a Brooklyn resident raves about “comfort food,” a coal miner from Appalachia is crushed in a landslide.

Did you ever think yourself, “I wish I had a cake with a big red ribbon on it to match my new Lexus, which also has a big red ribbon on it”? Well, you’re in luck. Because now you and your horrible family can coordinate your dessert with your new luxury SUV. Finally, everything is PERFECT.

My favorite is Glenmorangie, but this is highly recommended too without getting into boutique pricing

Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose: Gristy, supple nuttiness intertwined with spices. Honeyed sultanas and grapes. Hugely inviting.

Palate: Sweet with good body. The bourbon characters develop; gentle spice with a little vanilla, a hint of balancing peat lurking quietly in the substrata. Dried fruit too, combining with nuts, nutmeg, cinnamon, back into the bourbon notes - so well integrated.

Finish: Spicy, slightly drying, still sweet.

Overall: A classic, always a pleasure to revisit. (This is also a single malt with the ability to convert a non-whisky drinker with its deliciousness...)

It's a Wonderful Life... Gets me every time.

Also, Donna Reed was a fox back in the day.

Seriously. Anyone named Mary Jo is likely to stab you.

Too funny - just got a call from my friend Mary Jo who I haven't spoken to for some time. She just got appointed to a federal bench so now I get to call her "your honor"! Woot! Why to go Mary Jo!

And wimins named Sherry,

Merry Christmas to her!

Just keep the cutlery out of arms reach.

Have to agree. Scrooged is a better movie.

Company Christmas Parties.

Met up with an old associate from a former life tonight and we relived some tales of the company Christmas parties of the financial boom days when money was being printed. Absolutely insane and not sure how we got away with what we did.

I know an epic story or two has been shared here before but I can't find em so post em here I guess.

I recall one year of completely drinking the entire bar out of liquor and beer at Smith and Wollensky by our group and nothing but expensive wine being left to drink during a snowstorm. Many fidelities were broken that night from my memory and one girl on girl fight happened, complete with a flying hair-pull being performed over a table. It was glorious.

I miss those days.

Caught a new "Christmas" movie the other night on Netflix: Uncle Nick with that guy that I know from Just Shoot Me: Brian Posehn.

Anyway, didn't know shit about it and was bored so I clicked. It was pretty damn funny, and dark. Dark humor. About this drunk who's hell-bent on ruining his brother's Christmas Eve party. Oh, and it's told in parallel with the tale of the ill-fated 1974 ten-cent beer night at Municipal Stadium in Cleveland (which ended in a huge disaster as well).

Anyway, if you like inappropriate behavior, irreverence, self-loathing and a touch of Christmas misery I'd recommend this one for you. 3/4 stars.

[BmillsSkier]

Was contacted by the large group of family attending this year's Christmas party and gift exchange and asked for some gift ideas; and more specifically if it's acceptable to everyone if people 'go-in' together on gifts this year.

Sure, if you guys want to go in I'll take one of these. You pick which, I like to be surprised.

That's fancy brown stuff. My daughter came home from college last night. She, myself and her brother sat up and drank Jim and sodas and BS'd until too late. But it felt really Christmasy. I am officially in the holiday spirit! Cheers!

There's no better finish to a good party than a good balls out girl fight.

It certainly ended that Christmas party. I can still hear the girl server's screams in my ear, "STOP IT! STOOOOOOOP IT!"

NTTAWWT.

More balls than you, peanut farmer.

[Flyoverland Captive]

Went to xmas party tonight. Outdoors, bonfires, beer. One guy's wife is a veterinarian. She left two dog balls on the passenger floor of her husband's car as a joke. He roasted them on a skewer over the fire and offered them to guests at the party. Two guys took a bite. Doggy mountain oysters.

I love it here.

[BmillsSkier]

Maybe it's just where I am, but I love it when someone uses the Peanut Farmer put down line. It's either Georgia or that it makes me think of the time Jimmy C went on the Barry Gibb Talk Show.

I'm feeling the Christmas spirit between you two.
