'Destiny'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Sophia, are you sure you're not secretly on "The Office"?
Wow! That explains a lot!
Having a baby? SO useful in this regard.
Yes. My coworkers have children and their excuses sound legitimate. Mine sounds like I could reschedule (although I can't). Once I did use a kitten as an excuse not to go.
Oh god, have to come up with a plausible way to miss the party again this year.
Attacked by zombies. That's actually a situation that's a lot harder to deal with in real life than in a game.

"I would go, but I have to save the Earth from evil Lectroids from the Eighth Dimension. Do give my love to Wilhelm for me, though, would you?"
Works every time.

It might also make them never ask you to come to a party again. Bonus.

Yeah, not really a course of action I'm going to pursue...
I think my nephew needs this: [link]
Ha! Another whitey coworker is bringing cupcakes. I have to decide if I'm going to do it for real and bring the tourtiere (pork pie), even though we don't have an oven, or come up with something else.
Poutine!
Can I borrow that excuse for my work holiday party?
Dread. So much dread.
Poutine is NOT part of my heritage.
Dread. So much dread.
Even better, show up to the party for, like, ten minutes then scream "Get 'em! Evil, pure and simple from the Eighth Dimension! Lectroids! Get 'em!" run out of the party and steal a motorcycle.
Three days, tops, until the memo officially cancelling "holiday celebrations" circulates.
One of the pastry chefs at Sprinkles in LA posted this recipe for coconut cupcakes:
2 cups sifted cake flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup whole milk
3/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3/4 teaspoon coconut extract
1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter
1 1/3 cups granulated sugar
2 large egg whites, plus 1 whole large egg
I want to make them lemon-coconut, like the ones in the store. If I put in 3/4 teaspoon of lemon zest instead, will it have enough lemon flavor or should I use lemon extract or more zest or combo of the two?
