If I’m not mistaken, QuarkChild, I took a leeeeetle bit of poetic license there…crack actually IS the product of freebased cocaine. I don’t know anything about freebasing heroin…hell, I don’t even know anything about freebasing cocaine, other than the fact that it’s super addictive, and Richard Pryor set his head on fire while doing it!
Just make sure Nauseous isn’t flying into the wind.
Good things about the holiday season:
“A Charlie Brown Christmas”
Pretty, twinkling Christmas lights.
Cold weather and a warm, crackling fire
My annual Christmas basket from work.
Eve’s “Why I Hate the Holiday Season” thread
All the stupid Christmas shows means a Buffython
2 weeks off of work! Woo Hoo!
Yep.
Hey, Eve, from CNN.com: Study: Christmas deadliest day for Americans:
Just thought I’d share.
Buckner, I resent that… we don’t even know how many of those deaths [n]Eve** is responsible for.
Man, I thought I was the only freak who thinks this way…
I like all the seasons in all their variety, but I really like the cold dark rainy London winters. Just makes me want to rush home and cuddle up all warm with my sweetie and make like bunnies in the snow.
That, plus the winter sports that I truly adore (snowboarding is my new thing, having skiied for 19 years, and I can’t wait to go out again!). And the excuse to get kinda fat, what with the additional warmth it generates and all.
As for the excessive holiday displays, I just avoid them as much as possible and try like hell to avoid work parties with any but my closest teammates and friends. Luckily (:() my company seems to be on a cost saving kick this year and cancelled the Christmas party… so I got lucky there…
Well, if she’d turn in her damn bounty tags, we could credit her. She knows full well how the Straight Dope Black Ops Agency works. She got her membership handbook just like the rest of us…
Now, see, that’s just not in keeping with the Spirit of Christmas. You have to have faith. It may seem impossible that one woman could be responsible for a 12.4% increase in mortality in a country as big as this one, but I believe in Eve!
And I’m sure they all deserve it, too.
Ha! We should give her a nickname for that. Like, uh, New Year’s Mary! Or Independance Day Georgette! Or…
Eh, that’s all I can think of.
Nah. Go classic. Ms. Golden.
Like Mrs. Peel. But bitier.
Okay, I have something else to bitch about other than it’s my birthday:
No Jello Shots at our floor party! Will the horror never end?!?!?
Yeah, right, I’ve been here 15 years and we’ve always gotten shit-faced drunk at our floor parties.
No, I think this is New Year’s Mary.
Ahh, my soul mate! Too bad you live clear across the ocean. 
We even go on vacation every year between Christmas and New Year’s, to a snowy resort and stay in a cheesy Alpine-themed motel and go snow tubing and play in the snow. Fun!
Sorry about your Christmas party, Gomi. We’re going to my husband’s office Christmas party tonight. It’s an open bar and I expect good food. Gotta go get dressed!
If you’re nasty.
That sounds like heaven! I did the same thing last year, and it was great fun!
And yeah, the Christmas 'do was pretty depressing, but oh, well - it is the season of darkness, suicide, and random office violence!
