Going to my Christmas Party tonight
Anybody have Christmas party horror stories?

The juicier, the better.

At our company Christmas party a few years back. That's juicy, in a way.

2. Got paid twice at an office Christmas party
Caught two married folks(not to each other) gettin' it on in a storage room.

Got $50 each for getting instant amnesia.

4. Once I went to LA for a X-mas party at this skyscraper
and some terrists took it over and I had to blast my way out to save the rest of the people from the party, as they were far too drunk to save themselves. My feet got all cut up, which sucked as I had lost all of my shoes and socks and had to repeatedly run up and down stairs. But it all worked out in the end as my SO forgave me for being too macho, which I appreciated.

hmm....

6. Wow.
I've always wondered if Die Hard was taken from a real event.

7. I guarantee it.
Most things in movies are ripped off from real life incidents or scenarios. Hollywood blood suckers.

8. Either that or a committee meeting in a studio think box
"What if the company was Japanese?"

"Yeah, Japanese. Those guys are loaded."

"Yeah, that means we can put all kinds of high-tech stuff in there."

"...And blow it all up!!!"

"Right!!. I mean, who's going to care? It's all Japanese. Those guys can always buy some more."

12. a little known fact is that both movies were based on the same event
it was an outdoor wedding in Austin Texas, and let me just say it was very traumatic. The caterers haven't been the same since.

10. My old company had open bar every year
The thing was to see who would be the wrecked person. One year it was me. I mixed beer and shots of JD. We left the hall and went to a bar in downtown Boston. I had a couple of beers there, then I wake up in my bed at home, 15 miles away.

I go to the bathroom, do my duty, my head pounding, and I look in the mirror. There's dried blood running down my nose.

I was at the bar and I was so drunk, I just fell flat on my face and gave myself a bloody nose. They threw me in a cab and got home.

Vowed ... never again. The next year got bombed, but certainly not and bad The CEO's secretary won that year. She puked all over him.

13. drunken revelers
Several years ago at a friend's Christmas party.
He and some others were Martini drinkers, so they made a large pitcher and left it on the bar.
Only about an hour into the festivities people started sliding out of chairs, falling into the Christmas tree, and generally being drunk and disorderly.

Turns out some thought it was a pitcher of water and were mixing their drinks with it.

HooHaa!
