How to screw up a simple Christmas party

It's just a social club and it's the annual Christmas party.

Usually great fun at a primo location - the brunch itself has everything.

Situation this year is the president seems to be going through a serious midlife crisis and has decided to target another board member in public using:

Hostility.

Allusions.

Inuendo.

I personally wonder if he's worried about his job or perhaps he's just not getting any/enough at home. His wife-unit keeps her implants up to date but they don't help the fact that she looked like hammered fuck today [as a friend of mine in college loved to say]: no makeup and a sour, bitter, fishwife face. A shame because when she's playing the game, the woman is absolutely stunning. Shit for a personality, but stunning.

But, hey I always wondered if she was as user and here, today she looked like the user who just doesn't give a shit anymore...

So - prez gets up and sure enough, he starts to bemoan the current situation in the club... not coming out directly and accusing this board member of a crime - but dancing as close to the fire as possible.

Wifey sour face is an extended board member... and she as much as tells another board member in front of the membership and the invited interested-in-becoming-members that the minutes of meetings past don't count because they are in the board member's possession [and so must have been violated to support the case of the poor subject of prez's affections]. WTF?

This board member thinks that's kind of a bizarre stance to take, much less admit to in public. I'm sure other folks that heard the diatribe went WTF?

With that kind of paranoia in the house - no wonder the prez is having problems, but as no one wants the Christmas party complete ruined the supporter just decides it's not worth going into at that time.

Another board member gets fed up and stands up - and asked the members in the crowd to raise their hands and then asks of the members there - how many want the issues the prez has at that time be tabled to the next meeting.

A real meeting.

NOT the fucking Christmas party where members come to have a good time. Lost cause this time but a very large group votes to the affirmative - diminuative group votes in the negative, so that is that once we get him to give it up and sit down.

His side scored a point before it was all over... a very ugly member [ugly in temperament too] got a shot in for the prez. We think she'd rather take a more personal oriented shot at him... but wifey would really have a fit over that.

Every year the party gets a bit odder as the members get older. Can't wait to see next year's edition.
