Alain, you should do what my co-workers used to do. They stuck a little mirror on their computer monitor so they can see when 'the boss' was coming up behind them.

A very good idea! It certainly would save money on the tylenol bill!

See...The Basher solves another problem!

The mirror is a good idea, but I also found giving my wife a nice glass of eggnog laced with rum works really well, too! It made waking up this morning a little slow, though!

Hey! Thanks for the reminder. I've been wanting to get an Egg Nog shake from McDonalds and I keep forgetting when I'm out.

I didn't know McD's had an egg nog shake. Don't forget to add some rum!

You didn't know? They've been selling them every Christmas season since the '70s...uh..umm...from what I've heard.

Well it seems that U of Iowa can't give me the xmas present I always wanted from them. Beating Iowa State at either Football or Basketball.

I wonder if they drank to much of that eggnog and it was spiked with rum and scotch. That would explain so much as to why they stumbled and staggered thru out the whole game.

Eggnog with both rum and scotch? Cripes that sounds like a one way ticket to the Porcelain Palace of the great God Ralph! They should stick to beer. It's safer. Still, giving the Cyclones of Ames bragging rights just ain't right. They have to do better than that.

Egg Nog is better with a little Southern Comfort in it.

Scotch, Rum, Southern Comfort....I couldn't decide. So I went out and got some Everclear grain alcohol. Didn't really change the taste of the eggnog too much. Now it's 4:30 AM and I'm talkin' to reindeer, Santa and a pink elephant all at the same time!!

I hope you offered Santa some...it should keep him warm.

Oh, Heck Yeah! We had a great party! I poured some in the gas tank of his sleigh. You shoulda seen that sucker take off! Like a freakin' jet fighter with afterburners goin' all out. Poor reindeer about had a heart attack (by the way, looks like Rudolph is drinking, again!) Mrs. Claus might be a bit ticked off at him when he gets home, but you watch - Christmas is comin' early this year!

Say, why am I in a cabin off the coast of Maine?? Hmmmm, looks like the dude left me rum, scotch, some Wild Turkey, Southern Comfort and a few gallons of eggnog in the 'fridge! Cool! That'll last me 'til Christmas. By golly, here's a note, too..."Ho, Ho, Ho, Merry Christmas! Pick you up for a ride home Christmas Eve. I put the charge for the booze on your MasterCard!"

That white bearded buzzard! How am I gonna explain THIS to my wife?! Aw, what the deuce. May as well have a little snort and think about this...

You better watch out.....Mrs. Alain was sitting on Santa's lap, telling him what she wants for Christmas. I think I heard her say, "A set of Cast Iron Skillets"...Oh Oh!

Thanks for the warning! I have to get home, anyway. We both have a dentist appointment at 12:30 today and it's bowling night, as well!

Hmmmm...bowling! That's what Basherville needs, a Bowling Alley!

That, a hockey rink and a golf course!

Hmmmm. Iowa is 5-0 so far this year.

Iowa 7-0 and still going strong.

Iowa is now 8-0. I guess there is some truth, liberty, and justice for all.

I-O-Whaaaaaaa!

Heck, now they are 9-0, #8 nationally. They are doing surprisingly well this year.
