Actually at my company's holiday party, ther was a three hour open bar, so I don't think moderation was being encouraged at all. And plenty of the female staff members were showing mucho skin and getting their flirt on. I myself drank enough that I became the only straight white boy on the dance floor (except briefly for this ordinarily quiet nebbishy guy who drank wayyy too much and later trued to steal my beer, always an ill-advised move), but I'm also the only straight white boy in my work crew, so that's not too hard, but they didn't expect me to cut a rug. I passed on the soul train line, though. there's pictures online, but I seem to have lost the link. I emailed it to someone here, though, I think.

I just opened a 1-liter can of this stuff, so tonights off to a good start.

That's why I don't go to my company's office party. I know if I had more than 3 drinks I'd be doing at least some of those things (mainly the indiscriminate bisexual flirting).

I emailed you the link, matilda. still got it? post it. good pics.

Our office parties are like macrame nights at the senior center. I'm one of the youngest folks working there, so I don't usually go. I went last year because it was at a Classic Car museum. I got my two drinks from my drink tickets and spent the rest of the time looking at old cars.

we're just doing a lunch on Friday, but that's just as well. : >

Hee, that's my back!

And here's the other white guy who was on the dance floor. Later on, he did an amazing Michael Jackson dance-impersonation.

Yeah, that was a fun party. 'Course my feet bitched at me for days afterwards. A tip, ladies: if you're going to wear shoes that are tight in the toe portion of your foot, make sure that you cut your toenails before you go out dancing. You will avoid being shocked when you take your shoe off at the end of the night when you see blood and find out that you've just cut one of your toes with the nail of the toe next to it.

Haha, I once cut the back of my leg with the big toenail on the other foot, while struggling to put on shoes one morning. Man, that hurts.
