Oh man! I so regret missing this one! It turns out that my brother’s National Guard “Christmas Party” was just a 4 hour briefing for the guys and then a crappy meal afterwords. Fun :rolleyes: . It was good for my dad since he wanted all of the information they were giving…but yeah, I was giving my brother death glares and declaring that me enduring this “party” was his Christmas present. Anyways, it’s good to see that everyone had fun. Was there another one coming up in January? ---

[QUOTE=Queen Tonya] Whatever happened to the volvo candy? [/QUOTE] I ate them all. It fueled my spongebob drawing abilities. Not only that, but I can’t feel my teeth anymore. And yes, I was quite impressed with the burgers. They’re using some sort of voodoo on those things. I had so much fun last night, I can’t wait to do it again. I thought you guys were cool online, but you’re all that much cooler in person. I think I made some new friends. I’m gonna upload the pics right now… (p.s. If Qadgop is out there, somewhere, ice cream hot sauce is the awesome.) ---

Hi everybody! Thank you all for the good time. And thanks to Tonya for having us! I didn’t mention it last night, but Tonya’s house is the second American home I’ve been to, the first being the house of **rikc** , who I visited for Thanksgiving. I had a great time. I was probably a bit on the quiet side, but I was just unsure how to jump into the conversations. I can hope we can meet in january! ---

[QUOTE=rikc] This is why those acadamy award _dicks_ will never win at Cranium. (especially when we have the periodic table of elements on our side) [/QUOTE] I like how you busted your cherry and then used your second post in these very forums on this thread, defending the WORST De Niro impression of all time. By the way, **oriental name that I cannot pronounce** , we had tons of fun. It’s apparent that we need to do this more often (which we said LAST time…) ---

I was feeling a bit bad for having missed this. Then I saw the pictures & realized I would have been the old geezer in the crowd and would have had to wave my cane at you all. ---

Those are awesome captions, cmyk. Cactus Waltz looks so calm and assured in his title as “dealer of addictive Volvo candy.” You can tell that he’s thinking “yes, I just hooked these Americans.” ---
