The Chef's Table X-mas Party 1/19/2003

Since restaurants never get to take a break during the Christmas season, The Chef's Table always has it's party sometime in January. This lets the people attend without having to stress about stuff that hasn't been done in the meantime. We decided that a suitable Restauranteur party would have booze, some gambling, and a bit of naughty santa. "Naughty Santa?" you say? Basically, it's standard Secret Santa, where you pick a number and get to pick a random present. But if you get pick a latter number, you have the option of stealing a present from earlier in the choosing process. Kinda cool, on the whole... but the good stuff goes quick, and you're only able to steal another present a fixed number of times.

Steph gets a radio for the shower... The reception was for shit, though... heh...

Tim gets a football... I won't say anything about this...

Deenie gets the Dreadlock hat... Needless to say, it was unstolen.

Tom got the nipple pasties that we bought!
But later, Ann traded for them... off the books...

Lynn gets a Santa Claus thong... priceless

Dirty Magazines for Monsieur Hill... the carrot is his own.

Look at all the joy in this room!
Notice that my Mom has her eyes closed, as usual

Blackjack for extra presents..
Notice my Mom again... heh...

Big smiles when people are gambling... even if it IS for play money.

Lynn is ALWAYS in the catbird seat.

BJ was a trooper... he kept the game going for a few hours!

"I must taste the women before they get engaged..."
Congrats Georgina and Chris!
