[QUOTE=ladydisco] Yep. On the evite I said that it’s Hawaiian shirt day. And we do, in fact, have a printer to smash. And the Damn it Feels Good to be a Gangsta song to play while we do it. We even have a friend with a water cooler to lend us, so we can fill it with booze. And a caked with “Happy Birthday Bill” on it. Yes, we love being corny. Good times. [/QUOTE] Will there be enough cake? Last time I didn’t get a piece of cake. I think the ratio of people to cake is too big. ---

Ya know the Nazi’s had pieces of flair… that they made the Jews wear. ---

[QUOTE=pinkfreud] Dunno about the flair, but I suggest using red staplers as door prizes. [/QUOTE] Red _Swingline_ staplers. Gotta be Swingline. Oooh, how about a contest as to who can make the best “O face”. ---

[/QUOTE] If you say this is a party **at work** , I will turn green and die of jealousy. 😛 The closest we came at work was when we were finally shitcanning this old Xerox workhouse of a copier that took up half the room and were going to sell chances to hit it with a baseball bat. Stoopid professional workplace boss didn’t go for it. grumble ---

Naw, it’s not a work party, but there will be a lot of people that my husband and I are friends with now that we’ve met at work (in offices). They’ve all seen the movie and appreciate it. [QUOTE=Guinastasia] Oooh, how about a contest as to who can make the best “O face”. [/QUOTE] We have that covered too. My husband’s going to hook up one of our laptops to a webcam so the guests can take pictures of their O Faces and we’ll cycle through them on a screensaver. I’ve downloaded a few Michael Bolton pictures to throw in the mix too. As an aside - you wouldn’t believe how many people offered up an old printer. It seems everyone has an old printer somewhere in their house that they don’t know what to do with. ---

[QUOTE=ladydisco] Ha! You’re right - I did spell that wrong. Maybe that’s why my search results are so poor on eBay etc. :smack: [/QUOTE] That could have made for an interesting party game, though. “Look out for the candle!” _ **FOOM** _ ---

Can’t say I’ve been _missing_ it, Bob. **ladydisco** , sounds like you have every angle covered. I LOVE the O-face idea. 😛 Wish I could attend. PC Load Letter? WTF does that mean??? ---

Ummm . . . yeah, **ladydisco** , how’s it going? That party you have tomorrow? We’re gonna need to go ahead and move you all into Storage B. So if you could go ahead and pack up all your flair and Hawaiian shirts and move it down there, that would be great, OK? ---
