...if I skipped her work Christmas party this year. It's being held at our house and I would certainly be missed.

But it conflicts with this:

You don't want to buy any Pork Tenderloins?

He's waiting for permission, and his pants. Probably will have to leave the nuggets at home though...

Happy to help you out, NWStogie.

It is almost a mortal lock that, no, she will not understand.

You're welcome.

If I went to hang out with Pete and skip the Christmas party, I'd certainly find myself with more time for cigars, afterwards. But I might find myself with less $$$. Hmm...

I just might take the afternoon off and drive down to Eugene tonight.

*facepalm*

I should've thought of that in the first place. Styx's tour bus pulled up in front of my house would be very cool...

My strategy for preventing oh-so-many problems like this is simple: "Never have a wife".

So far, it's been 100% effective! Herfing

Lol! Just checked the budget. State taxes due in Jan. I was all ready to ride down to Eugene and partake, but the budget just can't afford the box or two I was hoping to get. I think the universe is telling me that the right time for this is in the future. Not now. Gotta be better prepared for these opportunities.

I asked about camping with you, as directed during my noob hazing. Never got a response to my pm. Then I promptly forgot about it when I was directed to the thonganator. *shudder*

I had lots of fun accumulating and putting together my CBid Secret Santa ordinance. If Pete makes another tour, I hope it is farther away from Secret Santa season.

Closing my business on 12/31, so this will be my last round of state taxes I will be paying. Woo hoo!

I can't help the waiting list.....but chilly weather means cuddling. So I could move a few things.

(See what I did there Vic?)

WOOHOO! Close your business, shrug off all your responsibilities, buy a VW mini-bus and follow The Dead on their tours, man! You can totally sell grilled cheese sandwiches out of your van to make it work, bro!

Definitely woo hoo! Now I can go back to working 50 hours a week instead of 80. (It was a side business, doing consulting.) I still have my day job.

ZRX, you are so generous! Thanks so much for your offer. I'm a monogamous cuddler, so regretfully, I'm going to have to decline. But if you don't mind, I could take a rain check, just in case things change. You never know.

Except Jerry's dead, and they don't tour anymore.

I know that at least one of the husbands would be up for it. We're planning on spending a good hour on the front porch with some cigars.

If you go, just know you have to purchase a 5 pack of regular production to be allowed to buy one item...

and the pork tenderloins will most likely be gone before it's your turn.

Dude, your perception of time is so sadly limited and unidirectional! Expand your mind, man! The Dead are ALWAYS touring! You just have to eat the right kind of mushrooms and you can go see them play ANYTIME, dude!

This year, I talked my significant other out of her work Xmas party and into coming with me to a pappy van winkle lottery instead. I needed the second entry! Still didn't win =(



Jesus I want to buy those cigars. Why won't Pete Johnson come to Indiana...

Where the heck in IN are you? I'm not disagreeing on the premise of your question. Our cigar events here are pretty much the big guys like General Cigar. At least in the Fort Wayne area. I love the local shpo there, but no Tats, Viaje or Illusione.

Sorry for the thread jack
