Thread: NYE party

I am supposed to go to a party tonight with some European boxing champs (ex / have beens) and I will probably only know a few guys and girls. Knowing Bulgarian parties, I just really hope there is no fighting, or at least that I get to stay out of it

my wife doesn't know about my hand situation (I don't want to worry her on her getaway vacation) and was amazed when I told her I'm not extremely enthusiastic about going there. She said she thought I always enjoy these parties so much... but otherwise I have to stay home by myself, as all other friends are with their families and I would not be comfortable there too.

poor me

Cheers

I'm hitting some preppy place that will also require wearing dress pants, dress shirt and a tie I prefer informal and friendly but this was the only available option in the end.

Just keep smiling, Ivo. It's hard to get ina fight if you keep smiling.

I'm out for dinner and drinks with the family tonight. House parties are always best anyhow.

Ilija - I hope it works out for you and you have lots of fun!

X - you never heard "What you smiling at?" - pretty standard way to start a fight

I just remembered - my CEO's wife is having a grand party and I was invited "Semi-formal" - but I don't think I'll be comfy there too. I would have stopped by with my wife for a while if she were here...

Anyway, I hope you guys have great time!

Cheers

Actually, I only know "What are you laughing at"? and "What are you looking at"? but I suppose 'smiling' is the middle ground there.

Ivo, I'd tag along with you, but it's a bit too late to drive to Florida, assuming my little Mazda would make it that far. Then we could have a drinking contest and the answer to the question would be "I'm smiling at that empty case of tequila"

Hey X, I'm a foreigner (and so are the boxers and gymnasts) so give me a break

Ilija - too late, indeed - I think you mihgt have enjoyed the party. I thought you were driving a BMW though?

Anyway, you guys have fun!

Ivo, I wish I could afford the parts and the insurance on a BMW. I'm driving a little '95 Mazda MX3 (on a good note it's stick and handles like a go-cart). In any case there will be other parties and I guess I can survive one night of prep

Make us proud, Ilija!

Cheers

I survived!

My buddies and I were last men / women standing - left around 7:15 and watched the sunrise

THEY HAD A WHOLE ROASTED PIG at the party! And BANITSA! I love this stuff. Not to talk about moonshine and other drinks

People got thrown in the (heated) pool like there's no tomorrow - girls, guys, little kids and dogs - the works. I was spared

One thing I remember was that a 160 lbs guy who claims he trained with Joyce Gracie for the UFC tried to throw in the pool a now 250 lbs ex boxing champ. This was not smart and did not end well for the little guy. Yup.

Anyway, just wanted to give the report.
