We’re having a party at work tomorrow to celebrate “08/08/08 Day,” which is great because I’ll be able to eat enough that I won’t have to buy food for a week. That’s my favorite part about work parties – they end up saving me a lot of moolah in the long run. I wish they were more fun, though. If I was in charge, we’d be rocking and rolling all night. My parties would go down in history as the best work parties of all time. Here’s a rundown of my perfect party:
We’d start out with a bang, and by that I mean I’d fire off a starter’s pistol so people knew the party actually started. The very first event of the party would be Bobbing for Creed Shots. I’d fill a large kiddie pool with Creed Juice -- a mixture of kool-aid, Pop Rocks, and grain alcohol -- and throw some shot glasses in there. Then everyone has to lean in, grab a shot glass with their mouths, and take the shot. It’s messy but it sure gets things started right. If you’re not drunk after Bobbing for Creed Shots, you’re not playing right.
So after everyone’s good and sauced up, I’d break out the piñatas. The key to piñatas at parties is naming them. If you name them after co-workers, you know people are going to really get into it. I’m not so great with names, so I’d let somebody else do the naming, but trust me, they would all be named. As for filling them, that all depends on the budget. If there’s no dinero for the piñatas, then I’d fill them with dry rice. If there’s a little cash around, then I’d go for hard candy. With hard candy, you get the fun of seeing the piñata burst AND the injuries that go with it.
After piñata time, we’d go straight into the eating contests. I’m partial to deviled eggs for quantity, but I know hot dogs are pretty popular these days, too. I’d compromise and make hot dog omelets for everyone to scarf down. I’m pretty sure I know who’d win, but you never can tell – sometimes the smallest accountants make the biggest eaters.
When the party winds down, I’d do another round of Bobbing for Creed Shots and then send people on their way with Goody Bags. The bags would just be filled with office supplies, but hey, everyone likes a parting gift, right?
They should really make me head of that party committee thing. I’d be amazing.
Um, that is how the parties at my office go down! DISCOUNT AUTO PARTS RULES!!!
I totally agree!! I'd love to see you take over for Angela as head of the party planning committee!!
Also, who doesn't like Goody Bags??
I think that everybody will be very intoxicated after a Creed planned party. Therefore, the party should turn into a sleepover. Things would get interesting at this pont.
As long as you don't serve mung beans or raw potatoes, I'm up for it. Angela would never let you take over the Party Planning Committee though. She's such a control freak, she almost had a melt down after Phyllis threw Toby's going away party. (And that party rocked!)
Hey Creed buddy! Sorry I haven't commented in a couple of weeks. I'm in the process of moving, and life got in the way.
I didn't do anything to celebrate 08/08/08. I'll celebrate 11/11/11 instead and call it good.
I used to love work parties for the same reason. The most delicious kind of food is free food. It's even better than Italian. And Italian free food? That's crazy good. That's the whole reason I joined the cast of Tony n' Tina's Wedding. Free pasta 4 nights a week. It's genius.
I'm totally stealing your idea of bobbing for shots. But don't worry, I won't rip off your Creed Juice recipe. I was thinking I'd create some good Angela Shots. I'm thinking Midori, Vodka, Pixie Sticks, and Flav-o-Ice. Thoughts?
I will be naming my next Piñata "Gas Prices", because I think they need to be bashed a bit.
I'd vote for you to be head of the party-planning committee. That blonde chick who stole my name can get a new gig.
This sounds like the best party ever. I have a birthday coming up fairly soon - we might just have to go Bobbing for Creed Shots!
I'd love to see you plan the next office party, dude. Rock on!
Creed juice.

I'm making everyone bob for creed shots at my next party. I think people would be down.
