Bill O'Lielly was standing right next to me

[GoddessOfGuinness]

at the office building party we played for this afternoon. I said not a word. I was awfully tempted to goose him with my bow, though. :evilgrin:

[LynzM]

1. You have such restraint!

I would have felt the need to wish him a Happy Holiday :evilgrin:

[GoddessOfGuinness]

7. LOL

I couldn't bring myself to speak to him.

[benny05]

25. I would have said the same

Happy Holiday to you and yours..who aren't of your religious persuasion.

[graywarrior]

2. How'd you keep from heaving?

[GoddessOfGuinness]

4. Started the gig on an empty stomach...

Not on purpose; but it did the trick. :D

[lildreamer316]

3. Really?

I don't know if I could have passed up the temptation. Really. 'Cause it would almost have been worth the dressing down/jail time (considering what I would have done).

[GoddessOfGuinness]

6. He was just a little too far away for it to appear

accidental.

:D

[proud2BlibKansan]

5. Did you wish him Happy Holidays

followed by a hearty FUCK YOU???

[GoddessOfGuinness]

8. We should have played an all-Hannukah set

just for him.

[proud2BlibKansan]

9. Or some Kwanzaa music

[GoddessOfGuinness]

10. That'd be good...

We don't have any Kwanzaa tunes.

I'd like to collect mid-winter holiday songs from all the different cultures so we can play them for these parties. I think most people would enjoy it.

[AllegroRondo]

56. I may have an arrangement of Eid music

for woodwind quintet somewhere.

Back when I was in the Army Band field, we were always looking for new "holiday" type music, mostly because the same old stuff every year gets very boring. There were some officers from Kuwait and Saudi Arabia on post who were very happy to share some traditional music. Some even played instruments. One of the band guys managed to transcribe it for woodwind quintet. It was very neat stuff, non-western scales and harmonies, but happy and festive. We always kept the music in our folders just in case some officer's wife at an official dinner would ask "can't you guys play something more festive?"

[GoddessOfGuinness]

58. Cool!

If you come across it, could you let me know? I'd love to get a copy somehow. :hi:

[fudge stripe cookays]

11. Did you spit on him?

I would have gotten behind him and hocked up a very quiet loogie to attach to his balding pate.

Ignorant pig fucker.
GOD I hate that asshole.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

15. If I'd known he'd be there...

I would've saved a sneeze for his general direction.

[Bombtrack]

12. I would have stink palmed him

Brodie style

[Initech]

13. Say... would you like a chocolate-covered pretzel?

:evilgrin:

[GoddessOfGuinness]

17. Stink-palmed?

Sorry...I must be turning into an old fart.

[elvisbear]

33. Maybe this will help.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

38. ewww

:rofl:

[spacelady]

14. Did he smell like a falallalalafel?

[GoddessOfGuinness]

19. Fa lollollollol!

:rofl:
I held my breath to avoid contaminating my nostrils.

[Liberal In Texas]

16. Was he surrounded by bodyguards defending Xmas? n/t

[GoddessOfGuinness]

20. Actually, he was mostly by himself.

I suspect he is not well-liked.

[barb162]

18. how does he look without TV makeup

[GoddessOfGuinness]

22. Uglier than usual.

Although he's much taller than I expected. I'd figured he was shorter than I am. And I'm 5'3".

[AtomicKitten]

21. should have kicked him in the nuts.

and then politely and demurely said "excuse me."

[GoddessOfGuinness]

23. The Nutcracker?

:evilgrin:

[AtomicKitten]

26. well, it would be festive.

[Liberal In Texas]

24. Strings, eh? Violin, viola, or cello?

I used to play violin. In a real past life.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

27. We had a trio today...

2 violins and a cello.

I'm a violinist. How long ago did you play?

[Liberal In Texas]

31. All through college. Alas, now 35 years ago.

I still have a knock-off Strad and an Amati (both probably about 100+ years old), and a mandolin...they collect dust. I was a enthusiast, but had no real talent.

--------------(Amati)-------------------------(Strad)---------

Still, there was nothing better than playing in the middle of a large orchestra. The sound is not reproducible by ANY electronic means. Or even sitting in the audience.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

39. Any community orchestras near you?

Lots of people take up their instruments again after a long hiatus. It's a great way to enjoy playing, and it provides terrific low-cost entertainment for the community.

[Wetzelbill]

28. the splotchy bastard

:)

[GoddessOfGuinness]

42. LOL

Even uglier in person.

[NMMNG]

29. Oh, you have much more restraint than I

I would have had to leave the area immediately to avoid going off at the mouth. :rant:

[GoddessOfGuinness]

43. My associates kept staring at him

I told them I was afraid if I did, I'd say something nasty.

[EFerrari]

30. Darn it! Had I known, I would have provided

a tastefully wrapped phonebook for his collection.

He better never get in reach of my bow because it has a mind of its own at times. :evilgrin:

[GoddessOfGuinness]

44. If I had a carbon fiber one, it'd be better.

Wouldn't want to ruin a good bow on the likes of him.

[Parrcrow]

32. oh boy! here you'd better use the spray

[GoddessOfGuinness]

40. If only I'd

had a can to spray on him! :rofl:

[ET Awful]

34. YOu could've at least "sneezed" on him

:evilgrin:

[GoddessOfGuinness]

41. I could have made it sound like this:

ah ah AH AHH SHIT!

[Jamastiene]

35. To punch that son of a bitch right in the mouth would be worth

some jail time, just to apply some sweet justice to his flapping gums. Oh, it would be sweet.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

45. We can dream, anyway...

:D

[GalleryGod]

36. Bow-up-His-Ass

Would've been my response...or a shouted, "Get your damn hand off my thigh, Buster!":wtf: When Everything went quiet for a moment.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

47. LOL!

"Get your damn hand off my thigh, Buster!"

That would be interesting!

[Crankie Avalon]

37. Wow, O'Reilly at a party. Was he really loud and obnoxious?

Bending reluctant people's ears? Going over-the-line sniffing around women young enough to be his daughters?

I'd imagine him to be just an awful guest to have around.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

48. Actually, I didn't notice him talking with anybody.

There was a curiously wide space between him and everybody else.

[fudge stripe cookays]

52. Gee. I wonder why.

Wouldn't be because everyone thinks he's a giant ASSHOLE now would it?

[GoddessOfGuinness]

57. I certainly didn't want to get any closer

[Crankie Avalon]

53. Heh. Maybe "the Great Man" was waiting for all the mere mortals...

...to come to him and pay court as supplicants for his lordly attention. Yep, waiting for that to happen...still waiting...and waiting...

Or else, off-the-air and away from the controlled domain of his show, he's just a sad, maladjusted little man who can't relate to flesh-and-blood people, "regular guys" or otherwise.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

59. "sad, maladjusted little man"

That's always been my impression of him...to the letter. I almost feel sorry for him, except I feel sorrier for those who have to deal with him.

[AussieDave]

46. Did he offer you his falafel ???

[GoddessOfGuinness]

49. I would've lost it if he had.

And made his sorry face even splotchier.

[AussieDave]

50. I would have run screaming from the room

- your courage in even standing next to him is admirable......
:rofl:

[GoddessOfGuinness]

51. For future parties, I'll have to rig a crow bar with some horse hair

:evilgrin:

[StaggerLee]

54. I would have been, like:

"Hey aren't you that guy who lies on t.v. like... ALL the time???"

Or if I was really up to it I would have punched him in his ugly pug and shouted: "This is for all the troops who WON'T be coming home you miserable twit!"

Actually, I wouldn't mind meeting him alone in a dark alley...there'd be some adjustments made I'll tell ya!

I know, I know...violence is not the answer...but it is fun thinking about it.

:hi:

[Orsino]

55. Or, "Hey, get your hand off my ass!"

When no one else is looking.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

61. He will be met in a dark alley one day...

face to face with himself. He won't know what the hell to do.

[pdx_prog]

60. I wouldn't have stood so close...

I hear he has the fastest falafel in the west!

[madinmaryland]

62. Why didn't you tell him to shut up!
