Official DU Lounge Virtual New Year's Party.

[Baitball Blogger]

To participate, you have to contribute something for the festivities.

My contribution are party poppers:



I packed the surprises myself in the poppers. Here's a partial list:

1) Camo Duct Tape
2) Macaroni necklaces
3) First season of Game of Thrones
4) My apple cider recipe

Each popper has a funny paper hat and a slip of paper filled with jokes and riddles.

[Tobin S.]

[Tobin S.]

7. I'm taking requests this evening.

We'll let the people set the mood.

[Baitball Blogger]

18. I suggest a generation thing.

Maybe start with the twenties and work your way up to something current. I assume people people in their nineties will nod off early.

[MiddleFingerMom]

[2theleft]

[Baitball Blogger]

It's sweeter than red wines and not too bitter (which I hate).

[Baitball Blogger]

27. Well congratulations!

[Scruffy Rumbler]

31. Thanks!

[LeftofObama]

29. I brough my Elaine Benis dancing shoes.

You can borrow them if you like!

[Baitball Blogger]

32. How thoughtful of her to wear black.

[Moondog]

36. Well . . .

I just got in from a run to Homosassa to my favorite Stone Crab purveyor, but the only ones that are ready to go are the "seconds" he gave me for my cat. Spoiled SOB that he is. So it's a little late for me to bring crab claws. I already gave one to the cat. He approves. Duh.

I do, however, make a great martini. Most sorts, come to that, but for party quantities, I can do pitchers. Your choice - vodka or gin. I'd recommend vodka for groups, but it is your party, so in the unlikely event that I am invited, it is your call. I'm a little short on martini olives, however, but can bring a jar or two. I think I have a jar of hot pickled okra, for the southwestern crowd, and I'm sure I have a jar of small cocktail onions, for the Gibson crowd. So, can you provide olives, and am I invited? And if so, vodka or gin?

[Baitball Blogger]

37. Everyone's invited. The only requirement is that you bring something.

I guess your contribution makes you Martini Man.

(Though I would have preferred the Stone crab)

[Moondog]

38. Well, yeah, me too.

But thanks. Martinis it is.

[LiberalEsto]

39. Let's play Charades!

Who's first?

[Baitball Blogger]

41. Okay, me.

I'm playing air guitar.

Now I've got three fingers up in the air.

Now I'm pretending to bark like a dog.

Now I'm pointing to outside, where it's dark.

[Lady Freedom Returns]

43. Ozzy Osbourne! n/t

[Baitball Blogger]

45. Ye, NOOOOOoooooooooo!

Guess again, guess again.

Clap, Clap.

[nolabear]

69. Three Dog Night.

Boy are we OLD.

[Lady Freedom Returns]

47. Jack Black! n/t

[Baitball Blogger]

50. No! No! No!

[LiberalEsto]

54. Joe Biden!

[Baitball Blogger]

57. AAaaarrrrrgghhh!

Air Guitar in charade means musical group! I thought everyone knew that!

[LiberalEsto]

58. Three Dog Night?

[Baitball Blogger]

59. Yes! YEs! Yes!

I also have a good charade for My Three Sons....Doh!

[LiberalEsto]

61. Okay, my turn -- I'm taking off my clothes

I'm pointing to the second finger on my right hand...

and now I'm pretending to rock a baby.....

42. Alcohol Balls (recipe)

As I'm about to leave for a party on the other side of town, here's my recipe for Rum/Bourbon Balls:

Alcohol Balls
(Bourbon or Rum)

3 1/2 C____vanilla wafer crumbs (crushed) (about one 12oz box)
1 C_______confectioner's sugar
1/2 C_____confectioner's sugar - reserved for rolling on balls
1 C_______chopped pecans
1/4 C_____unsweetened cocoa
1/3 C_____rum or bourbon
1/3 C_____light Kayo syrup

Mix crumbs, sugar and cocoa.
Add nuts and mix.
Mix in alcohol and syrup.
Form into one-inch (1&quot balls.
Roll in reserved confectioner's sugar.



Happy Neu Year!

[Baitball Blogger]

46. Yum. We can eat our liquor.

[kentauros]

48. I'll be doing both in about an hour

[Baitball Blogger]

49. Nice emoticon.

[LiberalEsto]

55. One Christmas my daughter landed in the ER from these

We discovered she had a severe allergy to the pecans in Grandma's rum balls.
Which, at her age, she shouldn't have been eating anyway.
Luckily she ended up okay, except for hives up her arms for a week or so.

[kentauros]

81. That's a lousy thing to go through.

Glad she made it through okay.

There is another way to make rum-balls unlike my recipe above. I watched the owner of a bakery I used to work at make them by re-using chocolate cake scraps that had been doused with some amount of rum. He molded them into fist-sized balls, dipped them in chocolate and then made little spikes out of the chocolate all over them. I never got to taste any, but you could smell the rum while he was making them

[Lady Freedom Returns]

60. This dress is OK to wear at your Party, right?

[MiddleFingerMom]

64. I certainly HOPE so, 'cause I look GOOD in it!!!

.
.
.
Although, if I get there and YOU'RE wearing it too... one of us is gonna have to go home and change!!!
