Holiday Informal (caution, flirt thread!)

[Anonymous]

As indicated on the WC:

After the rousing success of the Masquerade Ball, Ammie & Draco requested that someone host the next event, the Holiday Informal. Tiger & I have agreed to host this event, to take place on December 15, 2001. This date was chosen so it lands in the middle of Chanukah, and is close to Christmas.
Menu will include all the usual Xmas foods, as well as Chanukah favorites (potato latkes, anyone?)

Both Santa Claus and Chanukah Harry will make an appearance. We'll have a grab bag-gift exchange, limited to $20...shop wisely!

Won't you join us?

All RF Posters are invited.

[ASA_Woman]

:???:

[Anonymous]

For those unfamiliar...

Get yourself a date. Ask your intended here, or in private messages (tho here is more fun for all), and be with us that evening for raucous cyber party!

:smile:

[Ammie]

Perfect timing! Hooray!
I believe I will make some maple pecan tarts.

I'll be a shy wallflower with an eager giggle.

[Anonymous]

Just remember these ominous words from the WC’s Johnny on the Spot:

“Which of the following might potentially cross the line in a future episode and drag down unsuspecting participants: game threads, flirts, political threads (CAS/world/US), other?”

I’m in ... as long as we do it over here on the RB!!!

[moj]

Does anyone have a date lined up already? I don't know if I should take ADIP ... she really tired me out at the masquerade. I don't know if any one man could satisfy her. Perhaps Tiger and Nesbit could be her co-dates.

[Franchise]

Tiger is already hosting the party with elmo, and Bama isn't letting Nesbit out of her sight.

Other than that, it's a good plan. (hehe)

[Another day in Paradise]

I don't know if any one man could satisfy her.

You seem to do a fine job of that best I recall! :wink:

[Anonymous]

Sounds like fun! Are there any unattached guys out there that would like to go with me?

[Boink]

Ooooooooh, belly-ring and all ? Hello Britney ! :smile:

[ne11er]

sounds like fun...but no date. :sad:

[Anonymous]

Other issues that have come up...

Grab bag gifts should be wrapped.
Food items for the party...let's not have all cookies...some variety would be nice.

This is a HOLIDAY party, not any particular holiday, religious or not. It's just for a fun get together.

ne11er, ask another poster...any poster. It's the fun part of all this.

[Anonymous]

Was that an offer Bashful? I'll even let you pick out the belly-ring if you like.

[Boink]

It seems I'm far too quick to reveal my weak spots but the tummy is definitely high on the list ... I'd love to help you pick out the ring. :razz:

And yes, that was an offer.

[Anonymous]

Then we have a date. I hope you really aren't that bashful.

[Boink]

Only until I get the green light ... not once I'm warmed up or when under the spell of a seductress. (I leave the door open lol)

[moj]

Any SOA chicks want to attend with me? I have had my quota of WC Chicks.

[Intents]

moj, how could you say such a thing when attractions such as Flora are awaiting?

[moj]

Where is young Liz, I mean Flora. Perhaps she is still searching for a date.

[Bama]

moj, I doubt you'll get a date from Flora or any of the rest of us after that comment. :smile:

[Another day in Paradise]

No kidding Bama - we may have to strip moj

[Another day in Paradise]

Of his WCCSD title that is :wink:

[Flora]

I'm here. Haven't been around much lately for a number of reasons, but peeking in now and then. I have neither extended nor received an offer for this particular event, but then again, I will be on my husband's arm that evening at his company holiday party. So I suppose I can hang around for some of the exciting pre-party wind up, but I will be a no-show that night.

[Ammie]

Moj, Sugar Daddy, you're not still bitter I turned you down are you? You know I wouldn't go without Draco. :wink:

[Andy Lang]

Are married men allowed, if we disguise ourselves and remove our rings? (that's wedding, not belly, nipple or other sensitive parts.)

Not that I have any personal interest in another board, but I have been known to enliven a few such parties. Some say intelligence is the greatest aphrodesiac, along with a good sense of humor, and I can vouch for those aphorisms.

But one rule I require--no toucheee my body...it has been worn out by many such excesses and debauchery over many decades, sometimes not even by other people... which leads me back to the last para...(I'm good at circular connections.)

[Gandalf]

Andy,

I've heard moj is looking for a date.

[Cynical Realist]

Flora's alive???

I was watching a movie on TCM last night and Flora died of pneumonia in Paris. Now that I think about it, that must have been Liz, not Flora, I get the two confused. I can't believe I cried myself to sleep last night thinking Flora was gone.

I'm so relieved that Flora is OK, if I had known it was just Liz last night, I wouldn't have gotten so emotionally distraught.

[Ammie]

Andy, that was funny! There's no hiding of marital status - take off your ring and you'll be barred at the door. :grin:

[Mulan]

As I posted on the WC, I would like to attend! Thanks to Tiger and Elmo for the invitation.

I will be bringing *baked brie*, a favorite at our house. I already have my gift wrapped!

See you all the 15th.

[moj]

Ammie:
I am not mad about Draco. The sun is just one light from which one could read a book about the meaning of crab cakes. Given that, one can assume that Frosty will be tied to a railroad track and given the right to eat toxic mold. So, why should I be mad.

[Bonnie]

Sorry if this is a dumb question but I'm from the RF.

Isn't the 15th a Saturday? Do you actually have this "party" on a weekend? I use this forum only at work and do not have internet access at home, so will not be able to join you. I look forward to reading all about it on Monday morning.

[Ammie]

Bonnie...the party goes on for days in virtual time. :smile: moj - those must have been some bad mushrooms. :grin:

[Princess Fiona]

Are you looking for an escort Andy? I'm not sure I can make any promises about no touchee. :wink:

[Barbie]

Not so fast there, Fiona - I want to take Andy Lang too! I promise not to put my plastic hands anywhere on you, Andy! :wink:

[O]

Can I play? I don't have a date and I don't have an outfit.

[Anonymous]

Of course you may play. Perhaps the right outfit will attract a date.

[Princess Fiona]

I need advice on a costume. What would wow Andy? :eek:

[Andy Lang]

You guys cant really be actuaries--cause actuaries dont have no sense..of humor. I got it--you guys are still 'students'--and will fail long before you make it.

It's kind of reverse evolution--devolution. You wind up with tight-asses who can not walk, talk or chew bubble gum...even one at a time.

Hey--about my jokes..you shudda seen me in the old days--when the Net was young and so was I. (whn I start to repeat myself, lookout.)

Someday, I will tell you about some of the marvelous characters I befriended when everyone was crazy (and loose) on the net--a mystical gal from Hawaii who knew all these things about me without me telling her, and who eventually married an equally mystical guy artist--wow what work--coming to Hawaii from a small town in Germany--a Jamaican gal living in Canada, daughter of an embassy official, an OZZIE living in Germany who I helped get a divorce from a beastie man from Norway, so she could go back to OZ and become an erotic artist (no joke), and another OZZIE gal who is a genius architect working in a man's world, and totally gorgeous to boot, a blonde babe--with a sense of humor that was unbelieveble (sent me several pics and two books--one on OZ humor the other on a magazine featuring her buildings and house, I sent here some of my stuff like A Speaking Southern book--what is about aussies anyway?--They are like we used to be. Ohh never mind, you dont really want to know any more.

On the other hand, maybe that is not such a good idea talking about this--Ashcroft is listening--and watching--and has downloaded my old stuff to see if I am a terroist as many Republicans claim.

I hear tell he is enjoying my playful stuff, fileld with erotic imagery and more, as it was. They say that anything you have ever typed on the net is still recoverable.

If so, I am not sure if that will make me famous or infamous, but so long as it is posthumus (or is that posthumorous, or maybe posttumorous ot posthumungous), but as long as they spell my name right, it will be ok.

[Andy Lang]

I like posting here a lot because I get to press, 'submit' and by golly it works!

I always did prefer obsessive-submissives.

[Barbie]

I always did prefer obsessive-submissives.

As you know, Barbie can play any role you want...forget that Fiona! :wink:

I won't even have to buy a costume, Andy, my little pink wardrobe holder is full of them (and most of them are scanty with velcro closures)...

[Princess Fiona]

That was strange. Maybe Nature Boy is free? I'd like to join team whoooooo and ride to the peak of Space Mountain.

[Nature Boy]

sorry fiona, park is closed to general public. it's another week in paradise at space mountain !


whoooooooooo

[Princess Fiona]

Tough crowd. Guess I'll stay home. :sad:

[Anonymous]

I thought they closed down that old ride a long time ago anyway. :wink:

[Flora]

Fiona, don't give up, I think you just made a couple wrong picks. You're new - look around a bit!

[Nature Boy]

fiona - sorry, there is just a very long waiting list for space mountain. bama's been in line forever, flora and ammie got to ride a few times but december is paradise month. and if my memory served me better, she might even get january !

whooooooooo

[Nature Boy]

flora - whaddya mean by wrong picks ? you trying to keep me to yourself huh ?? you can't be too possessive when it comes to the naytcherboyah ! learn to share a li't !

whooooooooo

[Princess Fiona]

Thanks Flora. You seem nice. Do you think Gandalf would go with me?

[Ammie]

Maybe they were wrong picks because you were already taken Nature Boy? Now un-bunch those panties! :grin:

Good Luck Fiona. :smile:

[Nature Boy]

ammie - they're purrdize's panties :smile: been wearing them on my head since atlanta !

whooooooooooo

[Flora]

yes, by wrong picks, I meant people who turned her down quickly and none too gently. I can't speak for Gandalf, we've only just met (even though we did get a little familiar a little fast). However, talk him up a bit (I noticed he liked having a thread named after him) and see if he seems so inclined.

[Gandalf]

Princess Fiona,

May I have the honor of escorting you to your RF / WC social debut?

Gandalf

[Princess Fiona]

What shall we bring? :smile:

[Gandalf]

With that implied acceptance, I'm already bringing the best thing there.

Oh, you mean bring as a gift? I'll have to think about that one (meaning seeing if by rereading the posts here and at the WC I can steal someone else's innovations).

Send me a private message if you have gift suggestions.

Do you think we should plan on spending $20 US when that Ammie may be spending only $20 Canadian? (Maybe I should have asked your residence before risking that comment.)

I would like to go with Kimi - i haven't heard from her in while she is probably polishing her gun rack - hopefully she will polish mine when she is done. We will be bringing AK-47's for everyone.

Ooh, SB, that's so cute!

[bland alterego]

Lurching forth from the soothing muck, I struggle to my gnarled knuckled feet. With my left hand, only hand I lean heavily against the dank dripping walls of my self-imposed cell. A party?! A gathering of souls, many lost and led by an intriguing currish knave. Perhaps there’s a dark corner where I can lurk?

[Nature Boy]

this darn informal got me my second warning and boot. the worst thing is, i was being careful.

oh well, i guess i'll restric myself to be the nature boy here and *************** on the wc.

wish i could have said a nice whoooooooo as a farewell to my millions (and millions) of fans.

whoooooooo~

[Ammie]

I got a warning too Nature Boy. We'll miss you over at the cooler, but I'll just have to talk with your other personality. I like him too.

[Another day in Paradise]

Nature Boy,

I started a memorial thread in your honor on the WC. You will be missed! :sad:

Ducky, we still on for a date over here? :smile:

[Nature Boy]

thanks for the mourning adip - black lingerie is a nice touch! you're the cutest widow !

whooooooooo~

[Franchise]

This is so uncool. Naitch is THE MAN. It's a sad day indeed. :sad:

Ten bell salute.

[Anonymous]

I didn't get notice, and it was my #$@^#%$# thread! There's a reason I put "flirt thread" in the title, to keep the wet blankets out!

Oh well. I sent an e-mail to the PTB, and hopefully, I'll find out what the problem was. I'm really bummed!

[moj]

I'm out for blood!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Does anyone have an old username and password I could for the sole purpose of submitting inappropriate posts to the watercooler.

Quote from our former president, "You should check out the discussion forums. We have some lively topics of discussion". The meaning of this was apparently, we are looking to screw the people who keep our society in existence.

[Nature Boy]

moj - i heard that too, from the second row. did he say that during his presidential address ? cause strangely enough, on the transcript of his address, that reference is nowhere to be found. i'll take my blue paranoia pill and shut up. :smile:

if i had another username than ************* left, i would give it to you without hesitation !

franchise - nice touch with the ten bell salute. in wrestling, i'd shake your hand, raise your arm for the crowd to give you a round of applauses. then i'd hit you with brass knuckles or an international object behind your back. cause i'm the dirties player in the game.

whooooooooo

Nature Boy - lol on the black lingerie! :smile:

Just attempting to give you a proper funeral! :wink: Although I'd say it's a new record for me if I can manage to bring a man back from the dead! :wink:

[Mulan]

moj, are we still on to party over here on the RF? Hope the CAS has not ruined your party mood! I'm trying to recover mine!

[Nature Boy]

purrdize - i will censor my initial answer and send it to you privately. otherwise i'll be stuck being Arl.. err.. ************** forever ! :wink:

I would expect nothing less, Naitch. If I were anything but a pretender, I'd have hit you first, but alas .......

As for the party, I'm not sure my date knows the way over here. Anybody else still free?

[Ducky]

The date is definitely still on ADIP. Wouldn't miss it for anything. :smile:

[Ammie]

Draco, are we still on? Funny, I think worse things have been said here (mistletoe), and yet the party goes on. I like the wild bunch over here! :smile:

[Anonymous]

I believe we are still on, Ammie, but how can I be sure? I’ve been in such a state of euphoria since our cyber kiss on December 5 that it is possible that this is all a dream. It seems your kisses are so exceptional that prigs can deem them offensive. If this is a dream may I never wake up. I’d rather be here with you then in a Water Cooler that forbids our Joanie and Chachi romance. I hope the COOS reconsiders.

[Anonymous]

"Joanie and Chachi romance"

Does this mean you wear a bandana around your thigh? Tres cool!

:smile:

[Maine-iac]

Wolverine - Are we on? Have I lost you in the confusion? :sad:

[Anonymous]

Sure I’ll wear a bandana around my thigh over my thermal underwear, but the hipsters are calling it a buff now. (
Survivor: Africa Buff (http://store.cbs.com/survivor3new/item.php?itemID=7172&id=butt_and_tops&W=272&H=29)) And I don’t know why. You seem very up on Chachi.

How about this, elmo?

ADIP, you have me beat. All I remember is watching this one (http://www.sitcomsonline.com/charlesincharge.html) on Saturday mornings.

[Wolverine]

Maine-iac,

I believe we are still on. I know my way here to so I don't see any problems. I am disturbed that they pulled the thread without mentioning what messages were considered offensive. I am afraid to post over there for fear of upsetting someone and getting the "dreaded e-mail".

I am still very much looking forward to escorting you to the informal this Saturday. (It still is the 15th isn't it?)

I LOVED the show, tho I much preferred the original family. Did you notice that Willie Aames' character, Buddy, got progressively DUMBER as the series went on? Got really annoying after a while.

I had friends who watched "Diagnosis Murder", but called it "Dr. Chachi" instead.

Some lyrics from the theme song to "Joanie Loves Chachi" going from memory here, will add more later...

There's something magic in the way you hold me in your eyes
No-one ever warned me love just takes you by surprise.
I don't know what's come over me, you've got me hypnotized,
When you look at me!

[Polly Nomial]

Ah ha! I found y'all! Nice digs you've got here, rebels!

Only 5 more days and i'm in desperate need of an escort!

[Nature Boy]

polly - i'm not going but here's a lead: ducky will be very lonely, very early in the evening when purrdize runs away with "da man". should be an easy prey.

whooooooooooo

this does look like the script of 'pretty in pink'. purrdize, pink, mmmmhhhh

double-whooooooooo

[Anonymous]

Excuse me, madonna, but it's "Britney".

[Anonymous]

I was waiting for that, Britney. :cool: You should have used ma’am instead of madonna.

[Polly Nomial]

Thanks for the tip, Nature Boy, but your suggestion requires either I go stag (or do chicks go "doe?") or I abandon my date for ducky - neither of these are appealing. :smile:

[Nature Boy]

don't go stag or doe, go commando.

whooooooooooo

(i like the sound of that sentence)

[Franchise]

Polly,
It seems my date was lost in the shuffle of moving sites. Perhaps you would consider going with me? I'm not much, but at least I would be available all night. :wink:

That is, if you're willing to attend with a mere "errand boy".

[Polly Nomial]

hmmmm........ a generous offer, good sir! Did you commit to a date over at CAS? I'm just a bit concerned that she (and I don't know who it is) will come around and cause an ugly scene...... I just hate it when I get my hair pulled..... but all night does sound tempting.... :smile:

and why do you call yourself an errand boy?

[Franchise]

Polly,
Yes, I did originally have a date over on the CAS Forum. However, I don't believe that she has posted in nearly two weeks, and I don't know if she even knows that the party has been moved.

With all due respect to her, I would consider it an privilege to escort you instead. That is, if you would do me the honor.

As for the "errand boy" comment, that should actually be "errand boy pending approval". I have applied for errand boy status to the WC Chicks. I have performed a couple of probationary tasks for them, but I have not yet received formal acceptance. I await their deliberation on pins and needles.

Franchise

[Traci]

Andy! I'm sooooo hurt that you would consider attending a cyber-function with anyone but me!!

[Traci]

Um ... exactly HOW informal is this wing-ding?

I mean, at most office parties, people wear what they wear to work ... but if that's the case, remember I work from home, so ... I could be REALLY informal! (Like when I hear the phone ringing as I'm getting out of the shower ...)

[Ammie]

Traci - that's informal enough for us! :wink:

More on Joanie loves Chachi:

You look at me, Soft as any touch could be
And suddenly
There`s magic, when you look at me
I feel like I`m in heaven every moment when
You look at me...

You look at me, and suddenly, I`m captured in your eyes
You look at me, there`s magic in your eyes.


I think that's the rest of it. My sister had the sheet music for this, and I used to sing it while she played the piano. Boy, was that a long time ago...

[Anonymous]

Dearest, most beautiful, Britney:

I wish I may, I wish I might, go with you to the Holiday informal on that night.

You are sooooo beautiful, that I could never imagine what it would be like to be with you on such a special night. Looking into the stars. Wondering where they are. That on this very special night, you and I will be as one. Sharing every special moment, together as one. Feeling as one. Experiencing as one. I can't tell you how disappointed I would be if you said no. I might have to end it all tonight. Ohhhh, woe is me. To have to face a night of not knowing if my true love is really there for me, or would choose another, someone who could never love you as I do, someone who is a non-believer, in love at first site. You cannot imagine how my heart will sink, to the bottom of the ocean, wanting, waiting, for you. And no one else in the whole world. You are sooooo, beautiful, so lovely, so sexyyy. You are much, much better looking that Cristine Aguilera. She is such a ho'... However, when you were on the Mickey Mouse club and I was just 12 years old... I wanted you... Thought about you... I remember in Mrs. Harrison's fourth grade class, you were my favorite Mouseketeer. I knew then that you would be the future Mr. Samuelson (they made me change my last name when I joinged N-Sync.)

I truly love you Britney. Lets say our vows on the night of the informal.

Love, Justin :smile:

I see you have not accepted or rejected Franchise's offer. I have admired your work from afar for some time now, and would be honored if I could be your escort. Polly, may I be your date to the Holiday Informal?

it's funny to see how many chicks have not found dates yet. is there a shortage of men on this board ? on the wc, there's d be thousands of dudes crawling to get that cyberdate. downside is, you'd have to spend the cyber evening with a potter-head, a trekkie or a wookie.

well ladies, the jet-flying, limo-riding, kiss-stealing, wheeling-dealing son of a gun is not available. i will only show up at that thing to kidnap my widow. and she'll be mourning thru the morning!

Yes ne11er. It's all make believe. (more for some than for others :wink:)

[Anonymous]

Franchise, we'll have to see how the date progresses. Hopefully, I'll leave with more than a handshake!!!

I love it! It sounds so.... so.... dirty! :smile:

[Tom Servo]

I could show up just wearing a Christmas bow and you could unwrap me later - but the reflection off my pale skin would blind everybody. I could also go as Randy Moss, that way I can party only when I want to party.

[Don Lockwood]

okay so i'm like the new kid who moves into town right before the big winter semi-formal and doesn't know anyone. if there are any women still available i would be honored to attend with you and have you introduce me around.

as indicated by my username, i love to sing in the rain and i "gotta dance, gotta dance, gotta dance" so i know i could make somebody happy for the evening (or well into the next morning if things go well)

so if there are any compassionate souls who wouldn't mind being seen with a newby, please let me know.

thanks!

[Andy Lang]

Pretty funny and dare I say it intelligent and even gasp, sexy stuff here.

Looking at this thread I am reminded of Dr. Frankenstein and his Monster--a good and gentle soul who was nonetheless burned by the Townsfolk.

I guess it shows that Traci and actuaries do have souls after all, and a sense of humor too.

I will have to change my business cards and stationary to remove the part about Saving Your Souls--that is assuming you are actuaries and not merely gender bending lurkers.

I almost get a sense of the personality of the Actuarial Monsters here...cool.

[Mr. Grim]

Does the use of the word "sexy" by Andy Lang freak anyone else out or am I alone on this?

I am not sure I want my mullah talking like that. What's next an edict that we must shed our pencils and calculators and run around naked in the sun chanting "death to cash balance plans, mormons and catholics"

[Ammie]

Countdown to the party: 2 days. I have 2 days to talk Draco into wearing the daisy dukes (I hope I won't get in trouble here for saying daisy dukes) :grin:

[Mulan]

What time does the party start/end?? I have a real-live date (sorry, moj :cry: ) on Saturday night, so I need to plan around that.

moj, I'm still planning on wearing the Gingerbread house. Maybe you could wear a gingerbread person? LOL!

There. I just added the ingredients to the baked brie onto my cyber grocery list!

Party!

[Barbie]

Don, I'm available and in my Tour Guide Barbie role would have no problem introducing you to everyone! :smile:

Is it a date?

[Nature Boy]

don - be careful if you want to sing in the rain with the plastic woman. her fake hair gets all fuzzy under the rain. (i almost involuntarily went out of the pg13 realm)

whooooooo

[Anonymous]

Ammie, do want the Daisy Dukes over or under the thermal underwear? It won't be so bad actually. I'd have a place to loop my country-western belt with my big Texas-sized belt buckle. As I have told you before, Daisy Dukes would fit me like Levis 501s so I'd have to make some alterations for proper fit.

I'm trying to arrange for a limo to pick us up but it seems there is a chauffeur's strike. I'll figure something out.

[J-Lo]

Do I still have a date Franchise?

[Polly Nomial]

Uh oh, Franchise.

Now you too know the pain of being in high demand! *s*

[Franchise]

Wow, this is certainly an unexpected twist that I didn't expect to have to deal with today.

J, many apologies, but I thought you had been lost in the great migration. I hadn't heard from you in over a week, and the party inched ever closer.

Unfortunately, I am now accompanying bertuary to the Informal. I am terribly sorry. I shall always treasure our night at the Masquerade. However, bertuary is a delightful lady, and I am looking forward to spending the evening getting to know her better.

I hope you understand. :sad:

[Anonymous]

Pird Boop would like to go to the holiday informal. Ladies (real ones only), feel free to ask!

[Brad Pitt]

Brad Pitt here.

I would like to attend your "party."

Jen is busy that week so I'm available. Please send serious inquiries only, please.

I'm including a picture in case you don't know me...

Thanks!

[Ammie]

Draco I think under would be best. Then when things heat up you can take off your longies. :smile:

[Mr. Grim]

Now that I got turned by Kimi, I need someone that can provide me serious protection at this jiggy - Anyone interested? I am open to either gender.

[Anonymous]

Draco, don't be bashful. I plan on wearing a tuxedo, it is similar to one of those tuxedo shirts, only a Speedo!!! Hopefully Polly won't be embarrassed; I've been working out a lot the last couple of months.

[Anonymous]

Quadratic Formula, Draco told me to tell you that he isn’t embarrassed by the Daisy Dukes. It is a question of warmth. His kryptonite to Superman is the cold. He is a big sissy about the cold. He often complains that Texas is way too cold by his standards. Wuss.

Ammie, Draco told me to come pick you up in the limo. I have a dehumidifier in the back to keep the cotton candy in tact during the ride. Draco apologizes but he won’t be able to join you on the ride. He said that he’d meet you at the party. Do you like my chauffeur’s uniform? :wink: Hop in. Let’s go. No wait. I’m sorry. Would the lady care to enter the extremely expensive and hard to come by limo? No wait. I think it is best if I don’t open my mouth again.

[Gandalf]

Princess,

The sleigh is out; elmo says we can’t count on snow. The horse-drawn carriage should be a suitably festive substitute.

Brooms would have been faster. Even Draco learned how to ride one, so I’m sure you would have no problem, but air turbulence could be a problem for your costume.

See you soon.

Gandalf

[Anonymous]

hey party people! It's now about 3:10 my time, 6:10 on the east coast. I'll be checking in on the festivities, which are destined to go on thru tomorrow, at least! I've added my gift to the grab bag. It's a very large bag...

People have asked how the grab bag thing is going to work...at 7pm (my time)/10pm eastern time, I'll start off assigning numbers, by the order of those who check in here. Hopefully, a whole slew of people will check in between now and then...
At that point, whoever is #1 will select a gift, unwrap and tell what it is (use your imagination!), and who it's from. Then, #2 can either decide to take that gift, or select another. If #2 takes what #1 has, then #1 selects again, and then #3 goes; else, #2 selects.
Hopefully, we can do this in an orderly fashion! Of course, based on past experience with Othello, this is destined to be a mess...we'll see how it goes!
Happy Holidays to all!

[Ammie]

Mmmmm...there's just something about a man in uniform. :wink:

[Anonymous]

I hope the ride was comfortable. I have to admit being a little nervous with all that slapping talk. But if the urge overwhelms you, Ammie, give me time to turn around.

[Silent Bob]

http://www.emoticons.f2s.com/happy/wavey.gif

[Franchise]

Checking in. The place looks beautiful, elmo. I'm sure that's due to you and not Tiger. Thanks again for hosting us. I'm sure it will be a great night.

[Steve White]

Why, elmo, thank you so much for inviting me.

[quick kiss on cheek][tempted to try for more][/yet]

elmo, why are you looking at me like that? [glancing around the room at other guests, most of whom are only lurking so far]
Oh, I seem to be overdressed. Apparently ties are not typical attire. I never know West Coast standards. And I thought Rudolph's light up nose, and the button that plays "Jingle Bells" would be such a hit.

If you'll just excuse me, I'll step away briefly and come back wearing something more casual.

(Wonder if elmo will realize I had this all planned out, to give her another kiss?)

See y'll later.

[Anonymous]

Steve, you flatterer! Don't worry...Tiger is busy tending to a new cub, so we probably won't see much of him. :wink:
(...Meet me under the mistletoe.)

Thanks for the compliments about the decorations. Errand boy, a special guest has requested Becks Dark...please go get some. Thanks.

I'm going to hold off the sign in for the grab-bag until later...keep signing in, folks!

[Anonymous]

This is your bartender checking in. May I take your order? (Tips appreciated).

Draco, you have a four drink limit without the express permission of your date and/or proof that you are not driving your own broom.

I'll be on duty until midnight.

Miss Elmo, what will you have?

Over ice, stirred gently, with lime and a red bell pepper garnish to match your fur.

The Becks Dark is in the fridge.

By the way, I see your date has not yet arrived. May I show you to a table, or would you prefer to sit at the bar?

Well, since my date is tending to a new cub, and I've got a *gasp* real party to go to, I will leave the party for a while. Catch you later!

I hope some more folks sign in...this should be a party we'll talk about for weeks! :wink:

[Anonymous]

WC_POW, I'll have a Bullshot. I got a fiddy in Water Cooler bucks for ya. Oops, do you take Water Cooler bucks? Ammie will start with a 19 Year Old Boy.

WC bucks accepted until it collapses. And, by the way, you don't pass for nineteen -- ID please.

Franchise? I was expecting elmo. But good to see you. Are you really from South Philly? (respond in PM in you prefer) So are Andy Lang and I, and I could really use some help trying to keep him under control.

Nice to see y'all again. Sorry it took so long to get back. Some families fight over who gets the car; we were fighting over who gets the browser.

Draco:

ROTFLMAO

Your drink sir!

[Steve White]

It's the bartender you got to convince, Draco, but that picture doesn't look exactly like you.

Oh, it must just be the daisy dukes. Carry on.

[Steve White]

WC_POW,

What wines do you have? Which do you recommend?

[Anonymous]

In reds, this evening, I have a particularly nice zin from Raumbauer, 1998. I also have a Livingston-Moffit cab, 1997 which is out of this world. If you care for the cheap stuff, that will cost you an extra tip.

In whites, I have ... you don't drink white wine do you?

[Steve White]

The zin will do nicely. Shaken, not stirred.

[Anonymous]

Pird Boop is ready to party. Is it 4:20 at your house? My clock is set on 4:21.

Any hot chick (real ones only please) ready to party with the poop man?

Pird Boop - just took some viagra and ready to go!

[Anonymous]

Steve:

Excellent choice, although I don't recommend shaking it unless you're wearing red.

Coming right up.

[Anonymous]

Pird:

Normally, I would not recommend trying to fly after taking viagra. However, in your case, I don't think the air resistance will be significant. Can I get you a drink?

[Anonymous]

Well, WC_POW, are you a chick, guy pretending to be a chick, or a dude?

Pird Boop - feeling very left out by the actuarial community!

[Anonymous]

This bartender is definitely "dude." Are you going to order? I double as bouncer.

[Anonymous]

Cool, Mr. WC_POW. I am really a chick, but only have been pretending to be a bird. You want to go to the holiday informal together?

Pird Boop - looking better!

[Anonymous]

Sorry Pird, this is one happily married dude just trying to tend the bar. You going to order?

[Anonymous]

Just curious, would a former middle initial of yours be "J"?

Pird Boop - getting sleepy!

[Anonymous]

My former middle initials include "K," "G," and "F,". "J" is not among them.

You gonna order, or you gonna stand there and blabber? If you want to talk to the bartender, place an order and put some $$ on the bar.

[Elisha]

Lurking along, flirting along, hopping to catch Ammie by the mistletoe...

[Ammie]

I hope Draco didn't mind that little kiss Elisha. :wink:

Did anyone else see Draco's dance in the fireman underoos? The ladies seemed to like it, but some of the men weren't very impressed. :grin: How on earth did he get more than 4 drinks? Oh wait, I did that. :wink:

[Jonas Grumby]

Are you just covering for him, Ammie? We all know that Professor McGonagall was incensed that someone not even through fifth year was using that patently false id to pass as 19, and was going to take 10 points from Slytherin for each drink he got with it.

Thanks for not slapping. Had I been sure you wouldn't, I would have tried for more than that one big kiss, but there were so many others waiting in line for you at the mistletoe...

[Steve White]

elmo,

Thanks for the wonderful evening. You WC folks really throw a nice party. I'm sure glad you had the foresight to set up the bar out by the hot tub. Can you imagine the mess had I shaken my zinfandel over your Oriental rug inside?

[Anonymous]

Steve, glad you had fun. I'm sorry I couldn't collect on that kiss...my loss.

For those curious, in the grab bag, I got something I've always wanted: a Charlie-in-the-box! Whoooooooooooooooo!

WC_POW: Thanks for tending bar. I'm going to have to work on that middle initials thing...hmm.

Thanks to the RF for hosting the shindig. I hope the WC Buck won't collapse in value...I have too many under my mattress from those L3 bribes!

[Franchise]

elmo - thanks again for a lovely evening. I hope our special guest enjoyed the Beck's Dark. I hated to be away from bertuary for even a short time, but I could not forget my duties.

bertuary - what can I say? The party was just lovely, but not nearly as lovely as you. I hated for the evening to end. :smile:

[Anonymous]

Elisha, let’s go outside. Right now, Elisha. [I grab Elisha by the scruff of the neck and pull him outside (http://www.actuary.ca/phpBB/viewtopic.php?topic=1271&forum=21&0). Please, no females should follow the link.]

[I return without Elisha.] I hope he has learned his lesson. He should be more mindful of what follows a kiss from Ammie next time. And if not, I’ll have to take care of him again. I am not sure for how long he will be incapacitated. Let this be a warning to the rest of the men.

I don’t remember dancing in my fireman underoos? Of course, I don’t remember much except Ammie singing Nasty Boys by Janet Jackson during karaoke. Someone said Ammie was swapping out drinks after I had drunk three-quarters of a drink with a drink three-quarters full. I thought I only had three drinks but someone said I had many, many more. Corrupting a young innocent boy should be crime; at least the way Ammie does it.

I also remember singing Silver and Gold by Yukon Cornelius after I picked up the Herbie Bobblehead in the Dirty Santa Game. What did everyone else get?

[Steve White]

Ah, yes, the gift exchange.

I felt very awkward participating at all. Since I chose to attend at the last minute, I hadn't brought a gift. So if I took one, someone would be doing without at the end.

What a hostess that elmo was! She put me right at ease, explaining:
1. Tiger had thoughtfully provided some extra gifts, just for this situation;
2. Draco and Gandalf would know some appropriate spells if we needed any more; and
3. With so many people logging on a different times, there's no chance anyone would ever realize a discrepancy.

You WC folks do these galas right.

So I took a gift. Wow, from Lara Croft. I hadn't even seen her until then. Nice big box. Little rattle inside. It is...

Hungry hungry hippos!

[graciousness] Thanks, Lara, just what I've always wanted. [cross her off the greeting card list.]

Then no one wanted to take it from me. Wonder why?

[Anonymous]

Must have been a great party, since everyone seems to be sleeping it off. Looking forward to more reminiscences (sp?) on Monday.
I don't believe I noted above, but my Charlie in the Box came from our Sugar Daddy, moj! :smile:

[Ammie]

ADIP, I loved your rendition of Wild Thing. I thought Nature Boy was going to fall off the stage beside you. What kind of dance was he doing anyway? :wink:

[moj]

Now how did you know that Charlie came from me? :wink:

As was the case last time, I left early with my date. The events of the watercooler left us looking for the warmth of each other.

[Another day in Paradise]

Thanks, Ammie, I also enjoyed your rendition of Brick House - I can't imagine why all the men stopped dancing and started staring though! :wink:

moj, gee that's not who I remember you leaving the party with - maybe I did have one too many hurricanes... :smile:

[moj]

Hurricanes!!!!!!!!!!

Now you are talking my language.

Whooooooo

[Another day in Paradise]

moj,

Nobody makes you go whooooo any better! :wink:

[Polly Nomial]

stretching my arms as I wake up........

hmmm...... Was that a party or what? It all seems like a dream......

QF, you were a wonderful date. The earrings were perfect. I'll treasure them always - well, as soon as I have them appraised.

Hey, those hurricanes were something else! I didn't do anything embarressing, did I?

[bertuary]

Elmo, thanks again for hosting such a fabulous event. It was an evening to remember.

And, Franchise, well, what can I say... the time until our next meeting will be intolerable. Thank you for such a magnificent night/morning.

Polly, you kept revealing small portions of your waist and hips trying to show me a tattoo until you realized you were thinking of someone else’s tattoo but that’s not really embarrassing. I quite enjoyed hearing your rendition of You Shook Me All Night Long by AC/DC. I didn’t think you could pull it off as a slow ballad. :oops:

[Gandalf]

Princess Fiona,

Thanks for a wonderful evening! You were fantastic! After that performance, you won't have any trouble getting dates for future RF / WC parties.

elmo, thanks for making it all possible. You were the perfect hostess not to accuse me of destroying the holiday decorations when I broke off that navel-sized sprig of mistletoe.

[Mulan]

moj,

I was happy to be of **help** in forgeting our WC woes. Next time let's only drink 1/2 of a fifth ok?

OW! my head!

XOXOXO

[Franchise]

bertuary - the pleasure was all mine. Watching the sunrise was beautiful, but it was only the second most beautiful thing I saw that morning. :smile:

[Gandalf]

Ah, Mulan,

Who thought CAS actuaries had no imagination? That was a wonderful suggestion you had, when the line to get under the mistletoe was so long, that elmo's spider fern in the hanging basket looked enough like mistletoe for you.

Nice demonstration that CAS-types are great kissers, too.

<font size=4>XOXOX</font>

[Nature Boy]

hurricanes ? what about a good old polish tea cup ?

moj - please refrain from using the letters "w","h" and "o" in the same word, if count(o)>3. get your own catchphrases !

unleash the lhamas!
whoooooooooo

[Mulan]

Oh, Gandalf, THAT WAS YOU??!!! What a terrific way to spend a Saturday evening.

Moj, we weren't dating exclusively or anything, right? I thought ADIP was your main squeeze.

Gandalf, you up for a rematch sometime?

[Gandalf]

You didn't recognize me in my holiday attire? I thought my Aimless personality was clear enough.

Out of curiosity, who DID you think it was? Certainly not moj; we knew where he was.

Rematch? Sure, though I'm still hoping for more time with Princess Fiona as well.

[Gandalf]

Draco: "What did everyone else get?"

Don't remind me. Who's idea was the dirty santa trading scheme?

The gift I opened was quite nice. Too nice. After the trades, somehow I ended up with "The Complete Wisdom of Andy Lang". On the bright side, it wasn't too much to carry home.

[Mulan]

Sorry Gandalf, just reveling in the feeling. I really didn't have any real good idea of what was going on. (little drunk, I think.)

At one point, I was with someone who claimed to be Brad Pitt, and I think ADIP was there for a while. I must have gotten her mixed up with you, G, but I don't know how!

Man you can pucker up good! Forgive me?? please??

XOXOXO

Now I understand. Yes, I had just begun to kiss ADIP (she didn't even insist on a mistletoe substitute) when you and moj strolled by. ADIP doesn't embarrass easily, but I'm still not so comfortable being watched by WC types, so we broke apart. It was I, not ADIP, who joined you, first in the mistletoe line and then elsewhere.

All is forgiven. XOXOXO!

elmo, thanks for a lovely party. Sorry about the "incident"...I was very drunk. No more tequila! And this time, I really mean it!

[moj]

The party was a blast, but it will be my last. I now realize that cyber flirting is inappropriate and unprofessional. Perhaps someday you will all wise up and join me in some serious actuarial discussions. For those who are interested I will be starting a thread on the merits of merit rating plans.

[Andy Lang]

[After the trades, somehow I ended up with "The Complete Wisdom of Andy Lang". On the bright side, it wasn't too much to carry home]

It was bigger than

O The Complete Jokebook of the German People
O Blacks I have met on my Yachting trips
O Blacks who voted for GW Bush (excluding El Supremo and Watts)

And I forget the rest...god it's bad getting old...

Maybe next year at your party I can show you my best stuff. Sound like you had fun fun, till your daddies took your t-bird away.

You shudda seen the parties I used to throw on 91st and Lexington. Or the x-mas ones in the lunch room at National Old Line in Little Rock--or in a half dozen other places afterwards.

Got into some trouble a few times, but managed to survive. Why are the girls in Little Rock so much better looking than the ones in Ny City (that's only an average of course)? (exception for Paula Jones, Pre-Face lift and boob job, natch, courtesy of that dough she made on that lawsuit and the numerous appearances in various publications and tv and movies)

[Franchise? I was expecting elmo. But good to see you. Are you really from South Philly? (respond in PM in you prefer) So are Andy Lang and I, and I could really use some help trying to keep him under control.]

Many are chosen, but few suceed.

Steve, once I answered the door to my own party with my tie half in my drink. Never drink more than three dry Martinis.

Sound like you guys had a party to remember.

[Franchise]

Sorry, I must have missed this question somewhere along the way. Alas, I am not in South Philly. My namesake used to rule the roost there, but it is no more.
