Good afternoon! I hope you didn't club the hubby too badly. Those men have their uses . . . .

[FreeTheHostages]

Wow!!! Now there's a good-looking couple (the Bushes and also the quarters).

I love this year's White House decorations, which can be viewed online at www.whitehouse.gov.

[jwfiv]

All your top tens have been killin' me...think I busted a stitch reading about how to be cool in a classy restaurant...)

[FreeTheHostages]

Seen the lists? What do you think? Quite some match-ups today so far.

Mixer v. JustAmy: cats v. dogs.
ThinMan v. Lodwick: Post-modern nihilism meets Wry Professor.
Pippin v. jwfiv: Conservative office worker overcomes liberal colleages v. Finest Freeper overcomes fear of graphics.

::head spins:: Whoaa -- wait a minute! That was JWFIV with that lovely Christmas tree graphics!! :D Wow. So far, so fast!

There have already been some really, really good entries, but to be sure I get the top ten I have to wait until after the deadline and all entries are in before I make my list.

I worked overnight and did the day sleeper thing today (although I didn't do enough of the day sleeper thing - YAAAWWWN)

I resorted to none violent means. I tricked him..fed him lunch after which he grew sleepy and toddled off for an afternoon snooze, thus freeing up the 'puter for me to use.

MERRY CHRISTmas

TOP TEN REASONS WHY I'M STILL HERE

10. I'm the host today. I'm *supposed* to be here, dummy.

9. I'm not going anywhere! You're not paying me so you can't fire me!!

8. I want to see if The Thin Man ever finishes his list.

7. Billie's out shopping or cooking and catching a break, but she'll be back. And if we're not at 150 posts by 5 p.m., she says I'm going to be in BIG trouble.

6. Where else would I be? Seems like President Bush has kinda resolved the debate in the Lott threads here.

5. Cyberfood is less fattening.

4. I'm worried about Flyer: I worry that the voracious Gilligan may have eaten him or something.

3. Technically, the thread is not dead until the heart stops beating, and I still detect a faint pulse.

2. The weather outside is frightening.

and the number one reason I'm still here . . .

1. You think I'M a bad host, you wait until Mudboy Slim gets back!! You'll be *begging* for me!!

Why, thank you. :)

OK, anyone want to lay bets on whether Mudboy Slim is going to notice is pictoral portrayal at the bottom of Billie's opening to this thread?

16 REASONS WHY ALCOHOL SHOULD BE SERVED AT WORK...

1. It's an incentive to show up.

2. It leads to more honest communications.

3. It reduces complaints about low pay.

4. Employees tell management what they think, not what they want to hear.

5. It encourages car pooling.

6. Increase job satisfaction because if you have a bad job, you don't care.

7. It eliminates vacations because people would rather come to work.

8. It makes fellow employees look better.

9. It makes the cafeteria food taste better.

10. Bosses are more likely to hand out raises when they are wasted.

11. Salary negotiations are a lot more profitable

12. Employees work later since there's no longer a need to relax at the bar.

13. It makes everyone more open with their ideas.

14. Eliminates the need for employees to get drunk on their lunch break.

15. Employees no longer need coffee to sober up.

16. Sitting "Bare ass" on the copy machine will no longer be seen as gross."

"Eliminates the need for employees to get drunk on their lunch break."

ROFL!!

read the rules carefully!!

You're not talking about the 2 hour discrepancy are you?

(SHUT UP, FLYER!!)

[FreeTheHostages]

10 p.m. versus midnight PST? Try not to think of it as a "discrepancy." That's a so, I don't know, direct way of putting it. Try to think of it as a loophole. Billie did put in a graphic about cheating, if I recall.

Truth is, Mudboy Slim won't be around to start looking at the thread until later. Our goal was 10 p.m. EST, 1 a.m. PST. Instead we posted 10 p.m. PST and then at the end mignight PST. The only fair conclusion a reader might draw is that we, the judges, don't have a clue when our contest will actually end!

Ah, so be it. Eat, drink and be merry!

[FreeTheHostages]

That is really very good.

And who's to say that's not in the holiday spirit?

I suppose with the right attorney, a friendly court and an injunction, I could delay getting my entry in until sometime in January.
