JA is a Buffalo "lifer", my man.......he ain't going nowhere.

Years ago when i was working a lot of nuclear projects, i used to save up some money here and there throughout the year and give it over to the guys so they could go out and have a bit of a Christmas party for themselves.........you know, beers and wings at the bar between about 6 guys. I was a low-level boss at the time, and it actually wasn't my place to even do that for the guys, but i knew the "higher ups" wouldn't do anything for them, so i would just give the crew some of my own money out of appreciation for their hard work and we're not talking about loads of money here either, maybe about $500. I totally understand how the "higher ups" wouldn't do anything for the guys, as they were fairly unappreciative, but i at least did my part to let them know how much i appreciated them.

She never really impressed me too much cause she never really showed a lot of skin..........i like a woman that shows a lot of skin. I'm classy that way.

I thought Teef was the Queen of Buffalo.........color me confused.

****** presents........love em or hate em?

Should i even ask why?.........i mean, the suspense is killing me, man. What are the safety concerns?

Never underestimate a woman's wrath. I'm fairly certain i pissed my wife off back in 86 and the house has been silent and peaceful ever since. Ah, the old hotel swap..........i could ask my wife if she's into it, but there's no guarantees that she'd be for it.

I worked for a contractor years ago (probably about 50 employees + their spouses) and the owner decided to have a potluck for the Christmas party where every couple brought in food from home. About 3/4 of the people at the party were violently sick (my wife and i included) .......we traced it back to an older couple that brought in some crab salad that must have been bad, but they put in extra spices to hide the smell and taste. It kind of tasted "off" but when you're 12 beers deep by that point, you either don't know or don't care. The company never had potluck again and never really had any Christmas parties after that cause they didn't want people to be talking about it at the following years party (which we all would have).

You usually want the darker uni's when you're expecting a lot of blood, so.........

Sorry to hear that, man........putting down an animal is one of the toughest choices we ever have to make. My vet once told me, "Putting down an unwell pet is one of the last acts of kindness we can give them". Take some solace and at least a little bit of peace in these words, brother.

Well, i'm going to have to, with Julie around. Now you've got me fearing for my life........and my manhood.

Dude, stop "rabbit holing" me!!! In my mind (or what's left of it), the mystery has been solved......i sleep good at night.

I'm pretty sure you guys were expecting me to throw in some German swear words in here and see if anyone caught it. But seriously, German games do not interest me, same as London games, Mexico games, etc.

I actually feel pretty good about this game against Detroit. The Rams were healthy and can compete with anyone in the league and McVay is a wizard for figuring things out and making adjustments. The Lions will be tough, but i think McD will have this team ready to go and actually, i really don't think JA will be the prime focus or have to play superman in this one. It'll be close and this game will be a good barometer for where this team is at against the elites.

Ok, so i think the secretary mystery has been solved. I was just talking to one of my coworkers and explained everything that transpired with Julie, the apology, etc........and he says, "well, it might be because of what happened in the summer......you know, the filing cabinet incident". Oh yeah.......the filing cabinet incident. The guy in the office next door to mine quit and they were cleaning out his office and someone had put his filing cabinet just outside of my office in the hallway, just around the corner. Three times when i stepped out of my office, i gashed my knee on the corner of this thing, deep gash, blood everywhere......i've still got the scars. I screamed, "WHO IS THE STUPID ***HOLE THAT LEFT THIS FILING CABINET IN FRONT OF MY OFFICE!!!".........and then kicked it tumbling down the hallway. It was the secretary, Julie who had put it there and i guess that's what she wants an apology for.........and she's not going to get it.

What are you saying?........i'm simply a joy to be around.

That's actually a fairly accurate translation.......bwahahahahahahaha

I just confronted her 5 minutes ago and apologized again for not saying goodbye after the party.........didn't even acknowledge my apology and left the room. wow.....just wow.

Here's my thing, i would never hang out with these people outside of work so i really don't want to spend my time with them at a work party. Case in point....... When my wife and i were leaving the party, we had a few drinks in us and said goodbye to everyone, but in the morning i realized that i didn't say goodbye to our secretary, Julie....... so because it was the weekend and i don't have her phone number, i sent her an email to explain and apologize......i know she read it on the following Monday morning and now she won't talk to me at all, just ignores me. She says hi and bye to everyone in the office each day, but me. Like, come on.........well forget you, Julie.......and Larry (our office Ravens fan) can go to hell too.

Yeah, the Christmas party this year was all work talk and i hated it. I don't mind talking about work when i'm at work, but on my own personal time, i don't want to hear it, but on the other hand, is a work Christmas party actual work or is it actually personal time?........i'm going to have to think about this one.

Honestly, i just love looking at this list........reminds me of a long-lost era for RB's. The greats are a great for a reason.

.........the terrible game plan was on coaching and that's where the game begins and ends.

I had my work Christmas party last weekend and although it was nothing spectacular, it was adequate.........free drinks all night long, fancy food, presents for everyone. The boss made his usual speech again this year about increased profits, bonuses for everyone, everyone working together as a team, blah, blah, blah. The party was just alright, i guess, nothing real exciting, however, i was telling the guys that years ago when i worked for a different company, the parties used to get so out of control that there would be employees fighting, people puking on the dance floor, cops arresting people, etc........wild stuff, man. work Christmas parties........love em or hate em?

I got this as a kid one year........at the time, this was huge and everyone just about had one.
