I had my office Christmas party yesterday. It was in a really fancy restaurant/hotel with great food and the largest selection of booze I think I've ever seen.
Most of the night was spent drinking wine and champaign but after a while we hit the bar were they had, among other things, 80 different types of rum, costing as much a £100 (equivalent to $$$ american dollars) per shot. They also had a great ale called "JUDAS" which I drank most of the night - until I realised it was about 17% proof.
It was actually quite annoying how much stuff they had because every time you asked for a drink they'd give you some long and complicated list of the different varieties available.
At one point I noticed they had a cigar list but after I found out you needed to go into a special room to pick a cigar and there were no prices on the list I decided I shouldn't risk buying one. I think it's one of those deals were if you need to ask how much they cost - you can't afford one.
All in all it was a good night out!
Anyone else have an office party this year?

My "office" christmas party consisted of several large Hungry Howie's pizzas and cases of beer which were available for a $1.00 "donation". I watched people play horseshoes and I got drunk. Merry Christmas!

We are having ours in January for some weird reason. I heard they're renting a house in Malibu

We went to this super fancy steakhouse in Beverly Hills and had a great meal. Then I went out to the valet and was told, "we couldn't start your car after you left." So I got a ride home and wound up paying close to $700 to take care of the situation. Good times.

Re's office party last year was at some nifty lil' restaurant where a lot of celebs apparently go. We saw Maria Bello eating with Christian Slater and stared at the monstrosity that is his giant head. We then speculated that 50% of his filled with the cocaine he was likely snorting in the bathroom at the place. Good times...

Yes as I passed Slater while on the way to the ladies room I nodded my head at him politely and he shot me a nasty "YOU KNOW WHO I AM!" look. It was awesome

Perhaps your head nod posed a threat as it could easily have come into head butting contact with his huge noggin? So it may have been a look of warning as his head must hurt from bumping into the little people.

:lol For some reason I imagine you driving up in this (http://www.worldrider.com/blog/photos/llama_car.jpg) at some fancy steakhouse that Tom Hanks or some shit goes to.
One day reviewing all those NES games will pay off, big time. I got my money on you Dr. Boogie.

I work at TacoTime so my story isnt that great. My boss took all of us to this fancy steakhouse, Where i ate some stuff I shouldnt have and got really drunk.
I ate:
-5 trips to the salad bar (each time coming back with a plate full of cheese)
-2 appetizers (both baked goat cheese and breadsticks [noticing a pattern here])
-1 24 oz steak with baked potato covered in cheese (i also requested that the steak be covered in cheese, they delivered)
-1/2 of my Supervisors 18 oz sirloin steak, which i covered in steak sauce.
-3 pieces of pie all apple, and in my drunken cheese loving stupor, asked that they be covered in cheese. It didnt happen.
So, what did i drink that got me so wasted.
I drank 4 gin and vodka martinis, which i took down in one gulp each, before the salad bar.
during my meal, i switched to imported beer (while my boss was buying, i would be living like a king, drinking all the danish beer i want) after the meal, feeling pretty drunk and about to puke from all the cheese i have been eating, i went home and left my boss with a 100+ dollar tab. I saw him at work a few days later, he looked amused.
