TBD

Thanks for not taking my job away from me.

Well why do you care which holidays i celebrate.  People miss concerts because of Easter and Yom Kippur, I don't come on here and tell them they are slaves to religion. 

did the wife put the kibosh on the show? Tell the truth now.

So my office has decided to hold our annual holiday party on January 15. Yes, I have a government job and hence that's why it doesn't makes sense.

Don't worry, no tax dollars fund the party…it's potluck held in our office.

First they take the Christ our of Christmas, now they take the Christmas out of Christmas.

can you bring good beer?

Not allowed to bring alcohol into the building. All belongings go through a scanner (which didn't exist until after 9/11), and all alcohol is confiscated. I've even had (African) secuurity guards try to confiscate bottles of root beer, because they didn't know the difference between root beer and real beer.

I can't even go beer shopping on my lunch hour.

Another example of how the fucking terrorists have won.

well i am guessing if they had the holiday office party on christmas day the attendance would be quite low. 

My office is having a Holiday Party in a couple weeks with [font=Verdana]free nanny service[/font]. Thinking very strongly of

[li]Telling my wife I need some quality 'MEN' time with my two sons[/li]

[li]Dumping them off with the work nanny[/li]

[li]Rounding up lots of drugs and liquor and then getting a hotel room[/li]
[li]Weeping softly while sitting in the dark[/li]

[move]Merry Christmas to me![/move]

probably one of the better uses of our funds. 

Do you believe that government employees shouldn't take breaks?

and just about everyone in the region gets their money from tax dollars. Let's face it if the federal government up and moved to Iowa this area would pretty much an economic wasteland.

i enjoy the federal government.  they do things.

Can I take over administration on this site?  Implement some new features?  Like ignore?

sounds like it came from the owner of the birchmere.  I have never been there or have heard of any the act the guy mentions.

on a different subject: how about those wizards?

Of course you haven't.

The idea that Delbert McClinton, Junior Brown, Dave Alvin, and Sonny Landreth represent some kind of "wide variety" is pretty laughable though.

I looked at their upcoming schedule and I have seen 3 of the bands/acts before.  2 of them in one night in january 1985 marshall crenshaw and 10000 maniacs.  But of course this isn't the real 10000 maniacs or they wouldn't be playing the birchmere.  And I saw Ricky Scaggs at the Grand Ole Opery.  Who played with his wife as well in the Whites. 

Most of the acts on the schedule look like they are meant to appeal to baby boomers.  I wouldn't mind seeing Arlo Guthrie if he was doing his own songs but it sounds like he is doing his fathers. 

I find myself going to more and more shows just to see the opening acts.  Not good.

why? are the headliners fans annoying?

I am going to go out on a limb and predict a Wizards victory tonight.  Portland has been on a long road trip.  Nene will be back.  All the signs point to a big win.
