Gheorghemas Is The Giving Season

While IROC-Z readies something that will dazzle us, we need to give the people what they want. Clarence brings gifts!

Skymall coming back made Baby Tejus happy, but not as happy as this might:

And this is the perfect gift for people to give Whitney.  (People like Mr. KQ, maybe.)

Winchester's own Escutcheon Brewery has crafted the perfect pint for those lamenting Monday night's debacle.  John Riggins 4th and 1 pilsner.  The picture above has everything for the Riggo fan: Don McNeal falling, the Sandy Baby quote, and beer.  Sigh.  Read the WaPo article.and DCers should sample some at the Verizon Center Greene Turtle tomorrow for Happy Hour with the Honorary Hog himself.

Rob, you get David Price and the Clarence-awarded Best GTBer of 2015.  Those things, like the Goonies, R good enough.  

More gifts when lulls occur throughout Gheorghemas.

Cheers,

Clarence

The Twelve Days of Gheorghe-mas, Day 1: HE'S BAAAAAAAAAAACK

It's that most wonderful time of the year yet again, folks: Gheorghe-mas. Our mildly successful faux holiday celebrating all that is Gheorghey returns once again today with this (belated) post. Amazingly, Gheorghe-mas has not only been around since 2008, but we have actually completed all 12 Days of Gheorghe-mas each year since (not a small accomplishment for this elite team of procrastinators).

On previous Day 1s, Big Gheorghe has given us...

• One Hell of a bloggy Par-ty
• One Doofus Dancing (hee, hee) 
• One Doofus on a Fake Pony
• A Doofus Dancing (the year Zman stole Day 1 from right under my double chins)

But ultimately, on this 5th anniversary of the creation of the greatest fake holiday since Festivus, it's time to go back to what started it all...

On the first day of Gheorghe-mas
Big Gheorghe gave to me
A fat guy in a jer-sey

Happy Gheorghe-mas to you and yours, and we'll see you back here throughout the month as we scratch and claw our way through 11 more days. Someone start working on Day 2, por favor.

/Insert my tired jokes about classic tunes "Christmas Eve in Washington" and "Christmas Shoes" here...

Pre-unofficial official G:TB holiday lunch filler

Tiny dictator called together some folks** for a G:TB holiday lunch this afternoon, and we need some filler in this space pre-lunch. Well, Wheelhome Jerome organized the Santa Stumble for this Saturday, so why not a shot of O.J. Claus, ready to slice through the night air to deliver goodies to all the little Rons and Nicoles of the world:

**Schedule to attend: tiny dictator, doofus overlord, baconbaking, shlara, wheelhouse geoff, wheelhouse jerry, with special guest appearance by BB's sister-in-law, right off the ttrain from her first semester in college

Don't be frightened if you see this gentleman strolling the streets of DC tonight...

He's simply partaking in an age-old Christmas tradition, the Santa Stumble.  Along with dozens and dozens of his friends (or a baker's dozen if we're lucky).  Danimal, Mark - if you want to hop on a flight here's where you can meet us:

5-7, Stetson's
7-9, Big Hunt
9-11, Lucky Bar
11-???, Mighty Pint

I simply assume zman, TR and marls are cruising down the NJ Turnpike already geared up right now, and rob gets off work at the toy factory right on time to join us as well.

I'll do my best to pop in the comments later with some unfunny and probably very drunk witticisms (much like this entire post here).  Lucky you.

"Happy Holidays...is for terrorists.
Merry Christmas from Avery and Jack"
