the annual company christmas party
ahem. below is a mini-post i had saved back in my insoluble.net days, but had a crisis of conscience (and of employment) about publishing, so it never saw the light of day. it survived The Great Darkness Between The Blogs, and thusly i am able to present it to you now, in all its minimal majesty:
people attending: hundreds
alcohol units consumed: thousands
alcohol units consumed by me: 0.1
alcohol units needed to have enjoyed the band: n
alcohol units needed to kill an adult horse: n+1
Hells yes! And the crazy thing is that it was the second year in a row they'd performed. So that means enough people liked them the first year that they were invited for a second year. It boggles the brain.
I think the key here is that people were drunk enough the first year not to realize how awful the band was. And based on the number of alcohol units consumed, I believe there were plenty of people drunk enough to believe they enjoyed the band.
I don't think I've mentioned how glad I am that you're back to blogging. But I am, very. This is gold.
sweet. i charge a flat fee per word; look for your bill in the mail.
