Chic, IL Chicago Force Holiday Party

No! No pictures for you! Back of the line!

 

I'm going to bring some bags of those T.G.I.F'S Mozzarella Snack Sticks & Onion Rings. I don't know if any of you have tried those yet, but I give them the "thumbs up".

I'm also going to bring a Big batch of Popcorn, and I don't mean that 3-flavor stuff in those holiday tins. None of that microwave stuff either. I'm bringing the GOOD popcorn, the stuff made hot off the stove. Well... at least I haven't disappointed anyone with it yet.

BTW Bobafemme, it seems like we're going to have plenty of liquor. Did you need me to bring some soda too?

 

You are already are brining a bunch. Why not let someone with no cooking skills bring the soda.

 

Sounds good. But if there is anything else you need just let me know. I'll be happy to help out.

 

When Haz sez "no pictures", he means it. I think we'll all turn green naturally before we see any pics from karaoke.

-Le Penguin,
yeah, I know what thread I'm in... shut up!

 

You missed your signature quote, Pengy.

 

since the party starts at 6:00 pm....I would assume that you would not have the food thing going till after 7:00? I know that I won't be able to make it till around 7:15 or 7:30pm......so I should be right on time with the oven potatoes.....if you are doing food earlier than that....let me know...I will have to shift gears to a desert or snacky thingy..

 

So, do you guys want "Daquiris" or "Margaritas"?

Another option is: I have a "New Drink" that still needs a name for it. I can make this and have you guys decide the name.

 

Margaritas, Margaritas, Margaritas, Margaritas, Margaritas, Margaritas, Margaritas, Margaritas, Margaritas, Margaritas, Margaritas, Margaritas, Margaritas, Margaritas, Margaritas, Margaritas, Margaritas, Margaritas, Margaritas, Margaritas, Margaritas, Margaritas, Margaritas, Margaritas, Margaritas, Margaritas, Margaritas, Margaritas, Margaritas, Margaritas, and the New Drink, if you want.

 

Oh gosh--I've only had two drinks in my entire life, and the first one I barfed on the ground. The reason why I barfed it all over was because my dad and I had just finished a 35 mile bike ride on the Elroy-Sparta trail, and there was this water bottle in the cooler that had this purpleish stuff in it. So, I grabbed it and guy-like, chugged about three-quarters of it before I tasted anything. It turned out to be champagne . . . and you can figure out the rest.

Last semester I actually "drank" a real margarita because I was going out with my entire Spanish class (and our 26-year-old teacher) to this end-of-the-semester "class" at a certain restaurant where I accidentally let slip that I hadn't ever had anything alcoholic (hey, I can't count the biking incident as drinking)! So they're all like, "We've gotta make Bryan drink something!" and all of this crazy stuff (I also got a few offers for *cough*otherthings*hack*). So, they gave me a margarita, with salt. Seriously, I don't know how you guys can drink those things--they taste like fruity GAS! When things taste bad, the only logical thing to do is to chug it . . . sooooo, I have no ending to this random post, so I'll take a small bow. lol . . . *sigh*

 

note to self: Quicksilver is not drinking in my house. lol

 

Hey, I barfed outside! That's not good enough for you??!

 

No.

 

Does this mean I am gonna have to be designated driver for after the party?

 

LOL, I remember you telling me about the wine-water bottle incident, Bry.

Oh, and if Haz had put up pictures from karaoke yet I would have had a relevant picture to add to this discussion.


EDIT: Removed all the subtle hints.

 

hmmm should I mess with Carrie and say daiquiri? ???

I like both.

 

Note to self: Quicksilver is not allowed to procreate.

Bosh

- If for whatever medical condition your parents couldn't have children, odds are you can't either.

 

Yes please do not breed. Especially not at my house.

Thanks drive through.

 

Whomever has that clipboard at the stage door can take my name off of it. I won't be making it. And noooooooo.....it's not because I never leave my house. I have a DJ gig that night. Hey, we unemployed men need to pay our mortgages.

On the positive side, I will be employed on Jan 4th. I was offered a job with CCC Information Services in Itasca doing phone support. That loud boom you all heard about 10 days ago was my jaw hitting the floor when they told me the salary. Wide-screen plasma TVs for all my friends!



Anywho....you know I want to be there. My December is just overbooked.

 

Um, Jeff, you know I'm, like, um, your friend, right? And I can save you $2000 by saying that I would rather have a DLP projector from Piano than a plasma TV...

 

Itasca? Itasca?! Itasca!!
Hey, that's MY turf! I enjoy having first pick of toys in the area.

Well, if there's a plasma tv tho', I guess I can forgive you. Woohoo on the good news!

 

Congrats on the "jaw dropping" job Jeff!

 

Congrats Jeff! That rocks! We'll miss you though. Well ok we won't I'm being nice.

I'll drink a beer or 8 for you.

 

congrats jeff! nice work. i'll PM you my addy for the plasma.

i myself got a job offer today as well...decent salary, PR hackery with lots of writing, nice folks, very close. a day job to keep me in nintendo games until my ship comes in.

ANYWAY. the real gem we have yet to mine here: JEFF'S WORKING AS A DJ?????

please tell me it's for weddings, and please tell me someday I can go to one.

 

I don't know where to begin? DJ/Full House jokes? Comments about how Jeff's a big puss for not making the party? Random mockery of Matt for no specific reason? I'm overloading! Can't... pull... trigger...

Anyhoo, congrats to both you dillrods for finding gainful employment, and feel free to share the love over this-a way once those paychecks start coming in.
