door creaks open and moff enters:

Well, lands sake! Where is everyone? Still sleeping off Christmas Cookies I bet!

Hi, Mario! Let's start getting the goodies lined our for New Year's eve. I need a date this year. Are you spoken for?

[lbaker]

He may be your date MOFF but he has promised me at least one dance and is penciled in for the first Hokey Pokey on my dance card I think we should think about a huge Smorgasbord for our New Years celebration with some of the best snack-a-roos from over the last year. Boy, we have had some goooood stuff here at Thursdays.. food and drink, so let's just browse at the ol' groaning board and re-live some of the best moments..

That's ok! I'll be glad to share our little dancin' machine with you and everyone!

Boy, Laurie, did we have a lot of goodies this last year!! I'll take one of everything!

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Any ideas for a dotd?
OR
We could dump all the dotd's from the past year in a big vat together and have a massive headache/tummy ache?
We could call it a slurpie!

[lbaker]

SUMPIN TELLS ME DUMPIN' DA DRINKS IN ONE BIG VAT IS MEBBIE NOT SUTCH A GUD IDEA TUMS TUM TUM TUM BLAHHH

[smokey the elder]

Oh, no! Not a Hairy Buffalo. That's what we used to call it when you mixed everything together. In Wisconsin they call it Wapatuli (sp?)

[catland]

This could be dangerous. I think I'll do something less destructive like work on the fire. Sounds like a good day for shrimp on the Barbie and some onion rings.

Maybe we could call the drink the Ultimate Slushie?

[lbaker]

"Ultimate Slushie" is liable to give the "Richard Slushie" a bad name. His are divine, this mixture sounds volitile Shrimp on the barbie was a definate winner, as are the onion rings. I thought my corn fritters went over quite well also. I think we should stay away from "Tom the Cat"'s Romanian specialties for these festivities. They sound a bit too much like that nasty "Black Pudding" from a few weeks ago. YUCK!

Hey you all beat me here I have streamers,hats,and party poppers here in this bag.sets huge bag on bar In this one my usual New Year treat a couple summer sausages and cheese with crackers.Also so veggies and dip. tring to stick to my diet need to get blood sugars down again
Don't we have champain for new years at midnight. oh man do I have to go down to the wine cellar (yuck ) its almost as creepy as the lost and found! Ges I'll go check on supply Mario want to come with me?

[slick]

Hey everyone! First off, Laurie...how are you feeling? Can you talk yet? If you are up to it, how about making some of your famous crab cakes?

As for putting the DOTD's into one mix......yuck!! A short story: when I was about 21 I went to a parteee just across the border (Pt. Roberts) with two guys that I knew. I remember arriving, I remember seeing all the guys dumping rum, vodka, rye and other stuff into one big punch bowl. I remember having my first drink. I remember having my second drink. Next thing you know I'm the princess of porcelain. Hours later I remember being dumped in my own bed....don't remember how I got there.

So on that note.....I'll just take an ice water for now.

[Logan]

Champagne, please!!!! And Laurie, I want "crab something" (bisque, cake, anything).

My little Bennie bird is moving out tomorrow and going to live with Amber (CamCamPup33). She is so excited! I'm going to miss that little fellow, but I know he is going to a terrific new home. So let's toast Amber and Bennie!!

Corinna, I like the idea of veggies & dip! Gotta keep my sugar down, too! Corinna, I'll go down to the wine cellar and see if I can find some champagne. You're right it is almost as bad as the L & F!

[Corinna]

Thanks David but Mario and I just counted and do you think 40 bottles is enough for this crowd? Don't just feel like your being punished at the holidays becouse if you eat your in trouble if you don't you feel like an out cast ? It sucks you'd think after 8 years I'd feel better about it I don't!!!

[davidpizzica]

Corinna, I'm a borderline diabetic. I feel like there is temptation all around me. I'm not allowed no white bread, no white pasta, no white potatoes and no white rice. Splenda is my buddy. I also take Metformin. Corinna, it's a struggle! BTW, how much sugar is in champagne? I think forty might be enough, but bring up maybe a couple more just in case!
