The Annual Office Christmas Gathering

[pdub]

This happened last night:

Last year, I went on about how it was nearly survivable to do the office party.

This year, I think the Big Man knew we needed a change. We went to an art studio. I never thought I would ever hear me say to Sue Unit, "I'm off to the art studio."

We were all charged with duplicating a painting that was on display. It was a training session - draw a rectangle...

It was a woman's suggestion that caused this (that gathering at the art studio). She was giggling the whole time we were painting and said she loved every minute of it.

We guys decided next year we're either going to have a Tupperware party or maybe we'll go to the Wilderness Lodge and drink whiskey and smoke cigars and tie flies, and see how well the womenfolk enjoy that....

here's my painting:

Better than Zimmerman's.

Wow! Youse gots tallunt!
I can barely draw a straight line...

[pdub]

Better than Zimmerman's.

I'll take a whole lot less for it. I'm open to bids.

I bet it was fun (if there was beer involved anything can be fun)......

Yes there was, not enough. A "social" outing with the folks you work with.

I'm not dissing it. The other guys are. I think that was one of the things in life you never realized you had never done until you actually did it.

Okay, that was a girl thing. The wives won that time. We'll get 'em back next year.

I love the subtle interplay of the colors and forms. Sort of like Jackson Pollock but better executed. Remember that the artist has a limited output as he focused on quality over quantity and besides his Muse only moved him on rare occasion.

As Mr. Wee's agent I'd like to start the bidding at $10,000.

so, just to clarify....your office christmas party was at an art studio?

Really?


That might get the party planner kicked in the nether-regions round these parts....

Next year ask the girls if you can paint them in the nude.

PW would probably want to keep his clothes on when painting

Perhaps I should clarify!
Girls = nude models.
Guys = clothed artists.

Yeah, that could be fun!

[JOES66FURY]

it could be...but probably wont be....

[pdub]

it could be...but probably wont be....

Maybe with lots of beer and if you had a couple gallons of latex and knew how to spell Goodyear...

Now that's funny!
