<p>Sounds like eggnog is in order!</p>
<p>In wine, there is truth.
In beer, there is strength.
In water, there is bacteria.</p>
<p>Cheers to VeryHappy!</p>
<p>LOL aibarr! We don’t want any of that nasty water!</p>
<p>I just came back from running errands, and I need a drink. It’s so exhausting this time of year, just going anywhere. I went to the hardware store for paint, and wasted most of the morning in traffic. </p>
<p>Aargh!</p>
<p>MAACO Bowl in Las Vegas, today Dec 22, 5pm PST. </p>
<p>Oregon State University, 2nd in PAC10. Go Beavs.</p>
<p>Beav’s 7, Morm’s 7. Q1, 2:47 left.</p>
<p>Flat-tailers fumbles, Cougars scores. 7-14. 1:40 in Q1</p>
<p>Glad folks are enjoying that big screen TV we invested in! :)</p>
<p>If you’re having trouble with reception, tell the marmot to hold his tail a little higher.</p>
<p>And remember the marmots can only affect reception, not the game itself. ;)</p>
<p>So if you get annoyed and throw peanuts at the screen, the marmot will run away and you will lose your antenna and miss the rest of the game.</p>
<p>Sinner’s is providing the beer brews to Oregonians and tea to the Mormons.</p>
<p>LongPrime, I hate to break it to you, but the Mormons don’t drink tea or coffee either. I think a Coke is ok.</p>
<p>23-7. BYU. near end of 1st half.
Maybe the beer is too strong?</p>
<p>embarrassed</p>
<p>Football, schmootball…</p>
<p>It looks like we will have a MD/PhD student in the family next fall!!! Yay!!! Of course, I’m forbidden to talk about this on the Internets :)</p>
<p>BunsenBurner, I don’t know if that means your kid has been accepted to medical school, or your kid is now engaged to a doctor, but either way, cheers! I raise my can of Steel Reserve in toast.</p>
<p>OSU looked pretty bad tonight. The quarterback looked like he was throwing passes directly at the ground at times. I was rooting for BYU but hoping for a bit more of a challenge.</p>
<p>A toast to BunsenBurner’s good fortune! Is it an accepted student or a wedding? ;)</p>
<p>pulling my homepeeps up from page 3 to wish everyone a happy and joyous holiday season</p>
<p>Same back at ya, Sybbs, and all SA’s “family”</p>
<p>Just figured out where I’ll be watching the Sugar Bowl game next Friday night. There’s a Champs near our hotel in Chicago. (I doubt they’ll have marmots or the luxurious decor of Sinners’ Alley, but you can’t have everything…) 
</p>
<p>Go Bearcats!</p>
<p>You can still have some of our ambience: just remember to pack some Cheetos in your purse!</p>
<p>Great idea! BYOC.</p>
<p>Wasn’t the Independence Bowl a dud? Unless you’re a UGA fan. Even then, a higher level of competition would have been nice.</p>
<p>Anyone here like Wild Turkey American Honey? The guy at the store said it was “the American equivalent” of Drambuie. Not quite, but not bad.</p>
