Holiday Drunk Thread

Funny coincidence:

So we ate at this barbecue place on Sunday and their fries were crappy - shoe strings, which I dislike if it isn't McDonalds, and lukewarm. Determined not to waste food, I boxed it up and took it home. I said to the husband, "You know what can make crappy fries taste much better?" "Nothing!" "Gravy!" "Oh, well you have a point there."

There was some leftover steak as well, so last night I cut the steak into small pieces, dumped the fries on top, covered it in brown gravy, and poured a nice large glass of red wine. It was delicious. Best of all it was quick - I was starving, having run a dozen errands in holiday traffic.

(no curds, so it wasn't poutine, but still relevant)

 

I guess when you are "starving" anything would taste good.

 

while gesturing to your junk is a surprisingly lousy pickup line.

 

Poutine has an undeniable allure, maybe more depending on how drunk/high you are, but it doesn't hold a candle to chili cheese fries.



Keep the fuck outta my way while I race to the nearest Culver's...

Pick me up a double butter burger

 

Poutine is okay but i rarely eat it. I find making it your own way at home is way better than those cardboard-bowled coronaries in restaurants. The shit is just sooooooo unappetizing-looking. It looks like diarrhea compost.

 

Nothing but finals left, and I refuse to be one of those teachers that tries to give the kids a major project before winter break (a few of my colleagues are giving major projects during their non-test days).

To me, that is just such a dick move. They're taking, usually, at least 5 (and up to 8) major cumulative exams. Give them the final during their scheduled exam time, or show them a movie during non-test time. They've all checked out of your class after they take their final anyway, they're worried about their other finals. If they want to study during the movie, go for it. If they want to sleep, whatever. As long as they're not being crazy, disruptive, or doing shit that is in any way destructive, they're fine to relax a couple of periods.

Its always strange to me when a teacher gets so offended when kids are mentally checked out on the last day before Christmas break; its as if they were never students themselves. I had one teacher literally tell me she refuses to show a movie because "Those kids don't appreciate it anyway, so I'm giving them work." What the fuck? I've accepted that the majority of my kids are going to spend that last day going ape shit between their only two finals that day, so if I don't show them a movie, I sure as shit won't get them to do anything else. At least I can show them something that I can build off of later.

On a semi-related note: I'm showing them The Great Gatsby, which has apparently started a firestorm in the English department, because some of my students (I teach 11th graders) just finished reading the book. Oh well, gossipy teachers give me the sads.

PS: Sorry to interrupt the food talk, but those pictures are honestly the most unappetizing things I've ever seen, and that includes the pictures of a dude with the halo around his leg.

 

Or not surprisingly.

My husband had his Christmas party today at work. They go to a local restaurant. They used to be allowed to drink. Now they get a coupon for two alcoholic drinks, while constantly being told through all sorts of communication that "this is not a company sponsored event". Why? Because a couple years back one of the managers got drunk and hit on one of his male subordinates. That didn't go over too well.

 

That and being naked in All The Right Moves.

 

At our Christmas party this year, the head of HR printed out copies of the Alcohol & Drugs Corporate Policy and put them at every place setting. Buzz. Kill.

 

What can I say. She was really skinny, and somebody said something about gravy, and what really should've been my college motto, it seemed like a good idea at the time . . .

 

You were serious? That makes it...hysterical actually. But I'm also easily amused.

Just to be clear, you actually slept with women in college? Not that you didn't sound smooth...

 

Although I agree that Leah Thompaon is beautiful, Ive seen Back to the Future more than probably any other movie so in a way I cant stop thinking of her as a mother figure.

"You want theeeese, you can have'm!"

 

Keeping booze away from company Christmas parties is horseshit. Our company buys you ONE DRINK. Is there anything sleazier than a super-rich cheapskate?

 

You might as well pick out a name and buy a collar. Congrats, you're a dog owner. Unless someone sweeps it out from under you. Better hurry.

 

Her daughter certainly turned out pretty:
