Xmas at evlbstrd's (pics)

Just the traditional Xmas here.

evlbstrd jr., and our friend Bill and his daughters. Everybody is very excited about Xmas this year.

We've opened gifts, everyone got neat stuff, blah blah. Time for lunch.

We've had lunch, eaten snacks, had our Xmas corned beef, potatoes and cabbage.
The girls need a nap. evlbstrd jr. feels the creative urge.

evlspwn makes gifts while you wait.

Meanwhile, in the kitchen, there's football, Guinness and Jameson. And no kids.

Wishing all of you Excellent Holidays from the bstrd household!

3. Ah I feel like I was there

Great pics!

You need to stop calling your daughter evlspwn. She is actually a very lovely young lady and you are giving these other DUers the completely wrong impression.

And it looks like evl jr is a talented artist like his father.

Tell evlbro I said Merry Christmas!

And thanks for the help with the sig pic. Had I known you were so busy entertaining I wouldn't have bothered you with my technical issues. LOL

:hi:

6. Hey, she likes the name.

evl jr. wants oil paints instead of spray paint now. Baby steps...
I wasn't so busy. I had everything running like a well-oiled machine. Well, I'm at least well-oiled.

We've got Pro credentials. :toast:

edit to add: The guests have gone home, evlspwn went to find evlbyfrnd, and my brother is already in bed.
I have to give him demerits for a lack of endurance.

10. I got professional "I swear the cops won't stop me again"

in-laws with really really bad personalities when they're sober, never mind a few thousand drinks in them.

11. That's one good reason I walk when I can.

When I'm able? When, ah, shit, this is coming out wrong.
I had in-laws that should never touch a drop. They're already nuts.

13. My side of the family is just as crazy.

But my sister-in-law beats them all. Evil, black widow spider who preys on rich old guys and destroys whatever life is left in their frail little bodies. Pitiful.

15. This is why I had such a small group today.

It's less messy, too. Since nobody is allowed to puke.

17. Floor drains can be installed almost anywhere in the house.

How's your water pressure?

18. The locks on my door work better.

I usually don't have them in my house unless absolutely necessary. Somehow, they got in, like roaches do. They'll be gone soon enough when they realize I am locked away in my secret room and the refrigerator is empty. Funny thing is, I don't drink so I will remember everything and they'll call later and try to pry info out of me about what was said.

19. Sounds like a money-making opportunity to me.

Failing that, gain some leverage where you can.
Also, leave the dog in the yard.

But managed to hang on to your feathers.

23. Well, at that moment.

I'm waiting for the drugs to arrive. This might be a bad time to kill anybody.
Tomorrow is bloodwork. I may have given them a little too much to analyze today.

32. Freelance for this week.

The agency is closed, and her people are out of town. She's expecting some work in flames from a client, and asked if I'd be available. Based on that and the interview, I have an excellent shot.

34. This thread got a vote!

That's so cool!
I don't have a clue what criteria this vote was based on, but thank you, whoever you are.
