Stone and myself are having some “alone time” in the office. It’s our 1st “real” date Anniversary. Being so busy with the party and other holiday tasks I acknowledge the date with a small gift much to Stone’s surprise.
Stone opens the small package to find a simple silver necklace with the number 3. She thanks me with a sweet kiss and hug, The hideous doll arms on her sweater poke my ribs as we embrace.
A rap on the door makes us turn our heads to see Brandy walking in and tossing 2 new shiny gimp masks on my desk.
Ah yes our wager! I was hoping this would wait but a bet is a bet.We don the masks and the 3 of us look in the mirror.
‘This is wrong on so many levels.” I sigh
The cell phones come out for a series of photos as we laugh and pose. After a drink Brandy asks if I will assist her in moving the now recovered Pachi out of her Harem in the Ice house. I groan, thinking of that boiled cabbage smell but reluctantly agree.
“Good, so the payments went through ok? No hitches?” I hear Brandy ask Stone.
I cock my head when I hear Stone respond, slightly caught off guard “Yes, of course, why shouldn’t they have?” then she changes the subject…………..something is going on, I make a mental note to check our bank accounts when I get a minute.
Brandy leaves to clean her harem dungeon and decide to wait till she calls me. With any luck the hard graft will be finished by then.
Surprisingly, Brandy returns to the Bar quicker than I thought and I wonder how she got on with Pachi. Suddenly an idea comes to mind. I spring into action………I make the call and two teams of dwarfs get to work to follow my instructions. They haul out Brandy’s trashed harem bed and bring in the new one that Stone and I picked out for a Christmas gift.
Confident the boys have everything under control, I return to the bar to jeers due to my gimp mask. I give Stone the thumbs up, signaling all good with our gift delivery. A drink in hand I look around the bar, its almost surreal, like a David Lynch movie, with the gimp masks and the sea of red and green garish sweaters.
As Stone finishes her announcements, I add one more.
“Thanks for joining us tonight everyone. Drinks and Eats on the house, so let’s eat drink and be merry!”
MERRY CHRISTMAS !!!!!!!!
Detroit Lions 20 Chicago Bears 14 + 11 = 25

Tonight……………WE DEFEAT THE SEA HAWKS!!!!i think its a great idea
Hey Lover can we get cool uniforms and have a secret handshake?
A Forum Residents Friday night mixer at Brandy's home.all kidding aside if people show interest perhaps we could add brief bios to help people meet the right type of people they are looking for?
OK Brandy the big news here in the Windy City is Jay Cutler the Bears alleged franchise player has been benched for less than stellar playing of late. The fact that the Bears will be starting a new guy in the position…………….i must insist on 11 points for the bears/Lions game.
As for the Sea Hawks/ Cardinals game we are in agreement with the 8 points.
we also agree to your terms for winning.
If we win ….
We want the gimp mask on you for a full 7 days, including in any rooms you secure x 2 if two wins
We take control of your banner – TO BE DECIDED.
Your Look – the gollam look- palest skin available –
and clothes (No nudity)-The strawberry Susy Shortcake outfit, including the God Awful floppy hat and matching stockings with yellow shoes or maybe any combination of outfits that could be equally vile.
on your game profile for a week or 2 weeks if we win both games.
A date with the guy who wins the highest place in the Christmas ugliest sweater contest (barring Jayc of course ) in the AB&G as voted for by Forum
And in addition a post here or in the AB&G about that said date.
What say you, Brandybee?
“T Minus 5 minutes and counting ” I hear on my cell as i make a last minute check of the wiring and lights that covers the exterior of the Bar and Ice House.
I walk by woody who is doing last minute tweaks to the computers, “we good?” i dare to ask
Woody just nods, not looking up….. i don't push it after the frustrating week the poor guy has had since he offered to help me with this project.
I walk into the bar and ring the bell to get everybody's attention.
“hey everybody lets step outside for a minute “
The staff and patrons file out shivering in the cold, i open the laptop and tell Stone click on the Christmas tree and cross my fingers.

As the song ends the crowd cheers as Woody and i take a bow. and i point to the out building part of the Ice house.

“i couldn't Resist.” i chuckle my arm around Stone as the song begins.
Who says you cant leave up your Halloween decorations up all year?
Greetings lau,
hope you have a look around and decide to join us in improving the game and having fun.
OK Brandy,
You deserve a wager. My team the Chicago Bears are so bad the only offensive categories they lead the league in is nose and ear hair and body odor!!
The spread is 7 point for the Bears, i will have to insist on at least 10
HOW EVER………………….I will take the Cardinals over your mighty Sea Hawks with the 8 point spread.
So the choice is yours Miss Brandybee.
What say you Brandybee? We await your answer.
Enemy at the Gates: The Battle for Stalingrad
by William CraigStalingrad, the bloodiest battle in the history of warfare, cost the lives of nearly two million men and women. It signaled the beginning of the end for the Third Reich of Adolf Hitler; it foretold the Russian juggernaut that would destroy Berlin and make the Soviet Union a superpower. As Winston Churchill characterized the result of the conflict at Stalingrad: ” the hinge of fate had turned.”
William Craig, author and historian, has painstakingly recreated the details of this great battle: from the hot summer of August 1942, when the German armies smashed their way across southern Russia toward the Volga River, through the struggle for Stalingrad-a city Hitler had never meant to capture and Stalin never meant to defend-on to the destruction of the supposedly invincible German Sixth Army and the terror of the Russian prison camps in frozen Siberia. Craig has interviewed hundreds of survivors of the battle-both Russian and German soldiers and civilians-and has woven their incredible experiences into the fabric of hitherto unknown documents. The resulting mosaic is epic in scope, and the human tragedy that unfolds is awesome.
This is a great read, told from both German and Russian Eye witness accounts. the book reads more like a novel than a history book and even people who don't like war stories will find this hard to put down.
