Batten down the hatches Celty!
We're moving in!

Alright y'all.
As both the Professor and I are not on-line at either of our homes, you're about to lose us for the remainder of the holiday season.
We are off to the Great North to see a man in a kilt.
Happy Holidays and Season's Greetings and Happy New Year and Peace on Earth.
Stay safe and don't do anything I wouldn't do.
I love you.

We'll pop in when we can.
Peace. Out.

Happy festivities, Sheepses.

Have a great holiday, you two! Take lots o' piccers!

NYC was a war. I think maybe that was the problem.

Syracuse is a humanitarian/diplomatic mission.

hatches battened, muthafuckas!

I'm with the Save the Celty Foundation, supplying big from the Land of Bogs bastards with absinthe since 2003!

that is the best idea i have EVER heard.

can I get an AMEN?

what what

Cool, that means I can do just about anything!

get here now.

Have fun dickheads.

Bet you didn't expect to see me today, huh.
See. I was under the impression that neither the Professor nor I had to work today. Alas, I was sadly mistaken. I am not too bright. Here we both are at work.

wonder twin power - ACTIVATE!

Good thing you guys don't build bridges.

bye-bye.

good luck & godspeed.

i look forward to your call tomorrow.

Well?

Yeah, no kidding. I'm taking the war didn't go well. Maybe TOO well. I know I didn't get the letter that some of our brothers and sisters fell in the batle.

DG

CG left them stranded?

well, here's the story (i'll type more tomorrow when i'm back at work & away from real life for awhile) I'm sure Doc & Lammy will give you their side of this sordid tale....

Talked to Lammy a couple times during the week & finally made plans to go to the Dinosaur BBQ. Met there at 3PM Friday & didn't want to wait an hour & half for a table. My old lady suggested Coleman's, a nice from the Land of Bogs pub/restaraunt.

Went to Coleman's, where we had a nice late lunch, Lammy & I drank a couple of from the Land of Bogs Whiskies each and Doc had a vitamin G.

They followed us back to my crib, where we immediately drank the Lyonnaise (sp.). Amazing stuff. One of the cleanest I have ever had. We then had some Felix (ALPINE BOMB, MOFO!) & tried to get my old lady to drink some, to no avail. I made her a sapphire and tonic instead.

Next up for me was the Swizzle (proto i think) and I believe Doc & Lammy had some ET # 6 which luckily I received on last Tuesday. I had just enough self-discipline to drink only half the bottle so they would be able to have some...

If I remember correctly, I then had some Nemesinthe and Doc switched to water (worried about the half hour drive home from my crib). I think at this point Lammy pulled the flask of Turkey out of her purse again & started taking swigs. I told her to drink more absinthe with me, but she wanted me to save some of the samples they brought for me. I informed her that I wasn't expecting xmas presents, and to start drinking. She refused, so I poured her a nice glass of turkey. After i finished another Nemisinthe I felt bad drinking absinthe alone, so I switched to Turkey.

I didn't open the wonderful gift that was sent by Mr. Nemisinthe. I plan on saving that for New Year's if only my self-discipline will carry it that far. If the pictures don't come out of the sweet-ass label I will be sure to take a special picture of it.

I hope to have the few pictures I took next week.

We didn't eat any of the fabulous cheesecake that was brought from Brooklyn, but my wife and I dove into it the next day. :):):)

I had a wonderful time chatting with Doc & Lammy as did my wife. Doc is every bit as charming as I remember him from LF03, and Lammy is all you would think of her and more. I only wish we all had more time, because I really enjoyed the conversation with these special people. We could have easily spent the week together and not run out of things to talk about.

One thing that REALLY pissed me off, was the fact that I forgot about my homemade egg nog. I set aside a special quart just for Lammy & Doc and I totally forgot about it until about 20 minutes after they left. I had split the 2 quarts I made, & mixed one with a lesser dose of dark rum, I took Lammy & Doc's and put in a ton of Turkey. mm-mm good! I promised Lammy that I would have some here, but I forgot & they never mentioned it. So i drank the entire quart last night...

Anywho, I can only hope that we get together the next time they're in town. We will DEFINITELY go to the Dinosaur & spend more time talking and talking.

I can't say thanks enough for the samples, cheesecake, and most importantly, the personalities of these two amazing people. I felt instantly like I had known them for many years, and I hope that this becomes true.

Much Love.

Welcome back. We get worried when the kids don't check in.

DG

It sounds like a lovely evening.

Alright then.

Hurry up wit dem piccys, bub!

Ha ha!
Sorry that we were unable to post while we were together, but some of us are work-posters. That being said, I am obviously back at work (fuckshitjerkassbastards).
Celty said it all, kids. Particularly that part about easily being able to sit around for a week and not run out of things to talk about. As expected, the click clicked and the four of us (4-and-a-half if you count the little bundle-of-joy puppy, which I do) had a wonderful time. Sittin’ by the tree talking to his wonderful, smart, funny, beautiful wife K., sitting with him on the porch swing sippin’ hooch…
When the pictures develop (god, we are all so outdated) you will get to see our wonderful ghetto absinthe spread. We ain’t fancy, but we was drinkin’.
We had ET (in it’s original bottle), we had Swizzle (from a plastic Dr. Pepper bottle), we had Felix (from a Jameson’s flask), we delivered the generous Nemesinthe gift (also in it’s original bottle), and all was right with the world. And I WAS happy to have Celty explain to me that I didn’t actually need to drink out of my flask, as he had a handle of Turkey in the cabinet. What a good man! And he gave me a Christmas present too. An ORANGE-WAXED bottle of Maker’s, in honor of Syracuse’s championship! It tastes good too.
Glad you guys liked the cheesecake and damn! I totally forgot about the eggnog too! Shit.
We will see each other again.
I was and am very happy.

(the professor is off all week and says hello)

feeling is mutual, as you know.

lammy & doc will have to tell you which was in which...

well, you can see the turkey and the bombay, but the absinthe was incognito.

.....

xmastime is fun!

awwwwww

mistletoe.

too bad nobody was watching when doc was smooching ME like that.

doc didn't get hammered, but it sure looks like it here

doc pondering why the fuck he bothered driving out as lammy rolls her eyes at most likely one of my many stupid comments.

More pics, bee-yotch!

God bless Wild Turkey!

lammy trying not to wince having been forced to sit next to me.

oops.

this is right after i told doc that we were going to have a 3 way with my old lady and that he could either watch or sit in the car.

me & the old lady wish everybody a merry Xmas!

that's it. i didn't remember to get out the camera until we had already stopped drinking absinthe & started drinking turkey.

oops.
