Ew! Ew!

I had already heard about it, so I just rolled my eyes and kept on drinking wine. But pretty much every man within earshot cringed and ran for the canapes. As did some of the women.

So, your typical holiday party, really.

Aiieee.

I can't even get fully behind "divorce and take bunches of his money" all the time. I'm not sure why. But if taking the money causes emotional pain, then I guess it's okay. It just seems to be translating the offence to something much more mundane.

At least the Usain segue to Tiger was me hoping Usain was unmarried since he was a big party boy and could very well be a player--saying it's good when people know better than to tie the knot when they're not done playing the field.

Good lord, I had conversations about both just the other night. Though there was no segue.

I'm afraid my opinion of Tiger begins and ends with he's quite good looking and a hell of a golf player. Infidelities among the rich and famous don't even ping me anymore.

I went to the campus holiday lunch with my two coworkers, and we talked about sex ed in the schools, and I told the story of how Dillo is currently interested in how babies are born, and just last night was listing who was born from whose vagina in our family.

This was a voluntary work event, though, and these two coworkers can take it.

ita, I think non-contributers can partake in work potlucks, because otherwise, there's a ridiculous amount of food. It's not like a family-based potluck, where theoretically, each unit brings a unit's worth of food.

I have missed at least two work holiday lunches (including one potluck), and am not missing them at all. Well, maybe the potluck a little...

Tiger went and said he'd like to walk in on his mistress doing David Boreanaz, though. No matter how blasé I might become, that's gonna raise my eyebrows.

I'm stunned by the scope of coverage, though. Perhaps it's just because so many women are willing to be so detailed, but he's all over so many magazines. And losing sponsors left right and central. Michael Jordan and Magic Johnson weathered their infidelity stories much better.

We had our office holiday lunch last Wednesday. My coworkers and I talked about cars, travel plans, and the effect of US corn subsidies on the price of unhealthy food. But not placentas.

Had the admin lunch. There was DRAMA. Two admins feel disrespected by another and OMG ridic. I just acted out the whole thing for my boss and we laughed and laughed.

I was trying to think of inappropriate conversation at the last holiday party I went to, and I just remembered the MOST RIDICULOUS person I ever met happened this week. Every conversational gambit somehow led to him wealth-dropping. He got pulled into the conversation because we were talking about the political situation in Thailand and I said we got to Bangkok right after the airports reopened. Well HE had to have his parents send their private plane to get him out, and then last time he had his chauffeur drive him 90 mph to his private villa at Phuket. ISTG this conversation happened:
Me: But don't you think once the King dies that will provide an opening for Thaksin to come back?
Him: Well, 15 years ago I was allowed to invest in the company that became T-Mobile and now I am an owner of 1% of the preferred stock of T-Mobile, also my parents own quite a bit of (some hotel chain). Right now I work for the parent company of Verizon as their VP of Marketing. So people ask me all the time what the situation will be in Thailand and I think the PM will crush the opposition...

What kind of fucking answer is that (aside from wrong)? I wanted to talk to him all night, because I suspect I would learn about every item in his closet and every car he ever owned and every country he ever visited or owned a villa in by the time we finished on Thailand alone.
