Who died and made you King Of Cheese, Justin?

Things get kinda hairy with me an cheese and taking a hardline on a single cheese type is not something I can roll with.

I think Justin nailed it. I'm going back to edit my previous post. (Also, sorry if I offended anyone from that previous post.)

Okay, the venue's gotten back to me on dates. We for sure have the 17th of December. However, if we're willing to move it to the holiday week, the 27th of December would be a lot cheaper. How many of us are free on the 27th?

Hi,

My regrets for this sudden request, I have been involved in a robbery during my trip to Athens, Greece. I was mugged and all my belongings cash, cellphone and credit cards were all stolen at "gun point". Its a terrible experience for me. I need your help flying back home as I am trying to raise some money.

I have made contact with my bank but the best they can do is to mail me a new card which will take 2 to 4 days to arrive here.
I need you to lend me money, will pay back once I get this over with.

Western Union Transfer is the fastest option to wire funds to me. Let me know if you need my details(Full names/location) to effect a transfer. You can reach me via email or the hotel's desk phone 00306980837647

Thanks

Hey, everybody, if Arthur Simone posts anything in this thread, ignore him and don't respond to what he says. He's a scam artist.

For the record, blink did a ton of scenes where Santa was badgered to no end. So technically, it's been done before.

It’s like if we had decided early on that we could only use live-action films to tell mystery stories.

ugh...so JUST because Kevin's veganism frowns on leather, we can't make this a Firefly themed party? come on, guys!

and, seriously, Brett...Justin's already got the cheese covered. suggesting we go with shrimp shows you know as much about party platters as the Army Corps of Engineers knew about building levees in New Orleans!

oh, and to answer Marc's earlier question...green taffeta vs. Peter Sellers, i think.

Oh, thank God. I don't think anyone wanted that.

Everybody does cheeses. Lets get some shrimpses up in this piece!

Just don't disagree with me, I might go off.

I don't even understand why this is a question.

No I don't think so. As I understand it, the party entertainment was going to include a set of Christmas-themed comedy sketches, rather than a straight-up "Christmas variety hour" sort of thing (à la Liberace).

Back to the main question -- my calendar's still pretty open in December. The 17th works for me, but like Neal said, it depends on when the Barr Mansion can accommodate us.

Wait... Emily, I appreciate that you've written some sketches, but is this going to be like one of those lame Christmas specials from the 70s?
