1950s Office Party a Santa Size Success

"Best party of the year." -Matt Silvie

The spirit of the season was in full blast to the max Saturday night, as the employees of Allen and Simmons celebrated their annual holiday party. This morning, during a meeting to announce massive layoffs at the company, President Fulton M. Wilder declared it to be the greatest holiday party since 1941 STOP

Thanks to all who showed up--it was the best-attended party at 7502. With over 50 guests it was an excellent event for goosing…hey it was 1950s-themed, Toots.

Before the party President Eisenhower was placed atop the tree and Seth popped in his new Christmas Swing CD featuring Benny Goodman, Tommy Dorsey, and Shep Fields.

Jason, who prepared an absolutely outstanding batch of adult Jello, managed to stay awake and sober throughout the party, and ended the night (3am) by going to bed on his terms.

Many "lady guests" were upset that the only job titles on female name tags were secretary, typing pool, and caffateria staff. We apologized and explained that although we didn't condone the sexiest atmosphere of 1950s corporate America, we remained willing to take advantage of this for comedic purposes. Jason would then apply their name tags firmly to their breasts--with his teeth.

David and Seth were both disappointed that no one approached them to tell them how funny their fake 1950s memos were. Both agreed the party was a rousing success, the fact that no one told them how brilliantly hilarious and clever they are will, just as it does in their day to day lives, continue to bother them…we wish we were making this up.

Guests were treated to Egg Nog and rum, a special kind of Orange Julius, and of course The Dickel.

The next morning 7502 resembled a frat house. Among the empty keg cups and beer bottles was a prosthetic leg lying on the living room floor, a half destroyed gingerbread house, and a dead police horse stuck in the garbage disposal.

It was beginning to look a lot like Christmas.
