Hey it's our Christmas party tonight!


I was busy cooking all day. Sausage and peppers. Tortellini in cream sauce with peas and pancetta. Rice Balls. Prosciutto Balls. Potato croquet's. Salads. Assorted cheeses.

Running to the stores and getting the wine and the booze and the eggnog and what not.

I hope it doesn't get too crazy. Last year Chickenlittle kept xeroxing his butt. The eggnog just got him feeling so guilty you know what I mean?

Anyway Merry Christmas and I hope you are partying wherever you are.

    I am so relieved you do not have a certain type of meat on your menu.

    Let the pigs take the heat.

    That's hysterical, my grandson's new thing is to go around calling everyone "chicken butt". Boys.

    I am reminded ofthe rock creek lodge testicle festival in Montana--the billboard off I90 talks about it, and it says--stop in and have a ball.

    somehow I am thinking that substituting rocky mountain oysters for rice balls wont get it in your neck of the woods

    RogerJ, You probably know this but many POW's held by Japan could not stand to eat rice after liberation. It was virtually all they ate for years.

    Unbroken brought tears of anger, joy and sadness. It's a must read. Just don't order it @ Satan's Amazon link please.

    Eggnog spelled backwards gets me paranoid.

    Nick--I have trouble with turkey--we got a lot of in Viet Nam. came in a large can with white and dark meat all rolled up. the GF's dad was wounded at D day and spent almost a year in Scotland--all they got was mutton. Same thing--would not touch lamb

    I have a very touching Christmas story to tell --

    A married couple had been out shopping at the mall for most of the afternoon, suddenly, the wife realized that her husband had "disappeared".

    The somewhat irate spouse called her mate’s cell phone and demanded: Where the hell are you?

    Husband: "Darling you remember that Jewelery shop where you saw the Diamond Necklace and totally fell in love with it and I didn't have money that time and said Baby it'll be yours one day."

    Wife, with a smile blushing: "Yes, I remember that my Love."

    Husband: "Well, I'm in the Bar next to that shop."

    Well RogerJ, I think Trooper would touch lamb. But only from the rear.

    And Roger, that turkey sounds lovely!! I personally think being turned off by turkey is no big deal but that's me. I think it's the least tasty of all poultry. Being turned off to pork would be a problem.

    I would say that I'm about to land on the ground after jumping from an airplane. Yes?

  34. AllenSDecember 17, 2011 at 12:26 PM

    Either that, or you're about to kick me in the nuts. No?

  35. Ruth Anne AdamsDecember 17, 2011 at 12:27 PM

    And AllenS, I would say to watch out for your 4th point of contact.

    ReplyDelete
  36. AllenSDecember 17, 2011 at 12:29 PM

    Most of the time I used only 3 points of contact. Feet, ass and head. Once I used only 2. I called it the toes and nose.

    My husband was a feet-butt-head PLFer, too. I thought we had discussed being Airborne elsewhere.

    Ruth Anne--I had better sense than to go airborne--I went thru ranger school which enough--why jeopardize your life by jumping out of a perfectly good aircraft.

  41. Roger J.December 17, 2011 at 4:06 PM

    BTW Ruth Anne--I tried keeping my knees and feet together but the proctologist thought otherwise.

  42. Roger J.December 17, 2011 at 4:08 PM

    Ruth Anne and Allen S--I suppose I should define PLF: Parachute Landing Fall--the prescribed way to properly land after one has jumped out of a perfectly good aircraft.

    ReplyDelete
  43. AllenSDecember 17, 2011 at 4:13 PM

    They might have been perfectly good aircraft, but that doesn't mean the pilot knows how to land the thing.

    IIRC Allen you were with the 173d at Bin Dihn--my battalion was up there for a time--glad we moved down to An Khe--Bin Dinh was the end of the world.

  45. Roger J.December 17, 2011 at 4:22 PM

    Oh--and its Bin Dinh--Ok time for another lame joke best told at VFW clubs. Do you know the difference between a fairy tale and war story?
    ANS: a fairy tale starts once upon a time; a war story starts "this is no shit...."

    The lawyer that handled my divorce was Airborne, a Republican and ethical. Best lawyer ever. He destroyed my now-ex-wife's lawyer just as well as if he had jumped out of a plane and landed on her. It was awesome to witness.

    And, although he would never talk about it, he served in Viet Nam.
