2011 Bransforum Xmas Party

[Margo]

So it's that time of year when we would normally invade Nathan's offices and trash--I mean decorate them for a party of apocalyptic proportions--I mean true elegance. And we SO forgot to do this for Halloween.

I got 50-gallon drums of nog (NNNNNNNNOOOOOOGGGGGGGG!!! says Hoops & Yoyo, this year's entertainment). Who's with me?

[Sommer Leigh]

I HAVE BEEN WAITING ALL YEAR FOR THIS.

I have brought my elf costume and everything. With fancy jingle-toed shoes. For the nice Bransforumers, I give cookies. For the naughty ones, a sharp whack across the nose with a candy cane.

Let the festivities begin!

*Contemplates costume*

I have nothing to wear. I shall have to call my fairy god-mother.

COSTUMES?!? EXCELLENT!!!

I'll be right back! [rushes out of room...talk amongst yoursELFs...rushes back into room]

Voila, I'm a reindeer! So, yeah, the huge antlers might not have been the best idea, especially once we start drinking-- Oooh, yeah, sorry about that light fixture. No problem, I brought LOTS and LOTS of christmas lights to string everywhere. That will give us enough light!

Here, someone take this end of the string. No, oh, wait, the antlers. Okay, maybe someone else needs to string the lights while I find someplace to sit down before these put out an eye.

[Margo]

I got cheddar, swiss, and pretty much everything expect Limburger.

What? No love for the limburger? Just think of the pranks we could have pulled!

Has anyone seen Hoops and Yoyo? Oh, maybe they went out for limburger. One of them is a mouse, right? No? Maybe?

[Margo]

How you get the youtube vids to show up?

How about one of the Nightmare Before Christmas IMPS?!? Or maybe a gingerbread woman? Or a Christmas angel? Or an ornament! An ornament! Of course, such a sort of ...perfectly round costume might make it hard to sit down, but you could just dance all night instead! HEY! It would be PERFECT for a mosh pit. You'd be the best protected mosher of ALL!

OH LOOK, the NOG isn't sugar-free after all! SUGAR!

[Margo]

Sorry, but that smell would have chock us all. I can barely stand the smell of this aged cheddar. Anybody want a cube?

Psst, don't worry about that. Once people start drinking the nog, with all the rum and brandy in it, they'll have a big 'ol red snoot full. Won't be able to smell (or feel) a thing!

Bransforumers and nog? Three words:

Drunken. Christmas. Carols!

Oh, and I brought cookies!! They're shaped like agents, editors, and publishers so that we can OM NOM their heads off in revenge for the rejections we've all piled up over the year. But first we get to use these nifty frostings and sprinkles to dress them in obnoxious costumes. Revenge is, shall we say, SWEET!!

BAHAHA! I love the way you think. *Grabs cookie, SMOTHERS it with frosting, and ducks out to continue working on amazing costume*

*runs around after Margo trying to keep her from causing permanent eyeball damage to anyone*


*what sisters are for*


*also grabs a handful of cookies from Brenda*


*also hopes Karen stops by with some of her confectionery delights. Has been nomming after her Twitter feed all week!*

SO FREAKING AWESOME! I'm going to dress this one up like Donald Maass, NOT because I'm obsessed with Donald Maass or anything. Anyone got any black frosting? I don't think I've ever seen him in anything but black. Black t-shirts, black sweatshirts, black polo shirts. He's got that "if James Dean were an agent" thing goin' on. No, I said I am NOT obsessed with Donald Maass. GAH!

Now I make a Janet Reid shark agent cookie and chase people around the room, yelling, "QUERY...QUERY...QUERY QUERY...QUERY QUERY QUERY!!!" to the Jaws theme, breaking lights and knocking pictures off walls with my stylish antlers.

Yes, I just used a said bookism. Shut up. It's the sugar and the nog.

*runs around after Margo trying to keep her from causing permanent eyeball damage to anyone*

That's going to keep you occupied ALL night!

*stops long enough to salivate*

Watch out for that puddle.

[Sommer Leigh]

Almost forgot! I installed something fun for this year's Christmas party in Nathan's office.

Wait! Check this out! Tinsel machine!

Ready?

Five...four...three...two...one...

*tinsel explosion*

GHAK!!

(That was me choking on my cookie as I tried to squee in delight.)

Hey, Margo, do you think Nathan was attached to that ceiling fan you just broke? Maybe we can fix it...
