Darn, can't make it, it's my daughter's 1st birthday celebration. But, in the spirit of the season, "Y'all have a good time, but drive home safely."
Sorry to hear that Tim.
I appreciate the heartfelt condolences, but I suspect my daughter's party will be a rocking and a rolling good time, too.
Truly though, I'd like to finish the 2007 year on a good note and wish you a fun and safe 2008.
I can't wait for the new year!
I'll be there... Even if you do call it a "holiday" party 
Tim I was sincere, enjoy your daughters party.
Well I considered that Patrick. It is after Christmas and just before New Years so I thought it fit.
I am not shy about wishing you a Very Blessed Christmas though.
I will be a bit late (roughly 45 minutes), but I will be there.
Can't think of anything at this time that will keep me away.
I plan on coming. I may not have a blog, but I really appreciate Badger Blogger blogsite. I'll make sure I have the obligatory Packer wear on.

I don't know anything about Klingon, but the spelling ("blaughh") you refer to looks eerily similar to Gaelic.
Will anyone be samplin' a bit of the craic?
Seriously, I'd love to meet you all but may have Packer tix for that day. If something falls through, I'm headed straight for Papa's... I love that garlic bread swimming in the little boat full of butter. It's better than craic.
I should be there.
I'll be there!!!!
I will be there with bells on my toes.
Glad to hear it Mary, we all appreciate Badger Blogger.
Hey, maybe a Mad Black Sister will show up?!?
I'll be hosting the family Christmas for the in-laws, but I hope you all have a great time.
Fred, I wouldn't count on it. He/She/It is a very occasional contributor.
But I'd love to have a chance to debate "said poster" on a variety of topics.
I'll be there - I have one thing to go to beforehand so probably close to 1:00
I can spell blog, and look forward to being there. Thanks guys.
I will see you there.
You all have a great time. I think I'll be staying away from this one. Merry Christmas!
I'll be there. The lovely Doreen from Waukesha will be there, too.
We're still planning to be there, too.
Sorry for the late RSVP....but looks like the better half and I BOTH will be making an appearance....
It may be a short one with the kids in town, but we'll make an effort to be there...
I'm curious. At these events do you guys have name tags that say "Hello My Name is... 3rd Way" or do you just all know each other.
You get to know people over time.
People are generally introduced by user name then blog then real name.
Anonymity is respected if desired.
All right then... I will be the anonymous guy at the bar in the black jacket.
I'll be the large bald man with the hot blond, introduce yourself!
I'll be there. May I bring my non-blogging husband?
I'll be there. May I bring my non-blogging husband?
By all means.
Of course you can.
Put, me down as a short visit for the early afternoon (noon to 1:00 pm)
See you there.
You mind giving your hot blond and I a ride?
No sense in both of us driving.
I will email you
You have no idea how much I wish I could be there...
I think I'll wear my Groucho glasses to maintain anonymity.
Won't be there long if at all, but will try to stop by -- it's right around the corner from my house!
Put me down as a firm maybe. I'd like to put a face to the blogs I read, but the allure might be lost.
I know, I'll come and live blog the party!
Wait . . . there'd be . . . no one . . .
Huh.
My wife Nancy and I will be there!
I am planning on being there.
I am a late scratch. I won't be attending. Not that I will be missed to any great extent.
I might be a tad late... I forgot that two of my longtime friends wanted to have me over for the game and present exchange.
So what happens at these events? Just drinking? Real debate, or just telling each other how right you are? A wise friend of mine suggests that these drink-and-talk events are more worthwhile when there's a true variety of opinion.
Mr Foust.
People get together have a drink, build relationships, discuss issues and ideas.
Not unlike any other social gathering.
Believe it or not we do not agree on everything.
We'd all likely be in agreement that the tone & insinuation of your post here is ridiculous.
To feed your view of the post consider this...
What we actually do is sit there and stare blankly at the walls until we get at email on Owen's blackberry from GOP officials or Charlie Sykes telling us what to agree upon. We then nod up and down in agreement in time with whatever music is playing in the background.
You know for a New Years resolution you should hope to get a clue.
Gee, Fred, I thought I kept my tone in check and was willing to share. So you're saying anyone is welcome? I've been drinking with Republicans before, but sometimes it's hard because they're usually a bit too liberal for me, and too eager to use the power of government for their own ends.
And John I am sure you were the life of the party at those parties.
telling each other how right you are? is keeping your tone in check John?
This is the problem with you liberals.
You insult even when you try not it.
Oh no -- he's a libertarian!
John, on your way, make sure not to use any government-funded roads, or FCC-regulated cell phones, okay?
Be sure to visit Nick's blog comments to see my collection of Libertarian light bulb jokes.
At noon on Sunday, we'll be somewhere between Vicksburg, MS and Dallas. 
Maybe next year? Oh, come to think of it, it'll be cold then too. Heh!
60% chance of Sancho, could rise to 100% if Papa's offers daycare...?
No daycare Sancho, sorry.
...Bummer...Someone have a Guinness for me if I don't make it out.
No Guinness at Papa's, Sancho. At least not on draught.
They have:
Leinie's Red Lager
Leinie's Honey Weiss
MGD or High Life
Miller Lite
Bud Lite (I think)
Looking more and more like I will not be there. Have fun!
Will this party be smoke-free?
I doubt it.
I'll be there, Fred, but it will probably be closer to 1, after church and I drop the missus off at home.
I'll be the one wearing the gas mask....:p
Bring her along Dean.
"What we actually do is sit there and stare blankly at the walls until we get at email on Owen's blackberry from GOP officials or Charlie Sykes telling us what to agree upon. We then nod up and down in agreement in time with whatever music is playing in the background."
Actually, I have my GOP chip that Osama Bin Laden implanted on orders from Bush when I was in Saudi Arabia. I'm waaaay more advanced than the Blackberry.
Actually, I still have those name tags that we didn't use at the first BBA Christmas party three years ago... Want me to bring them along?
Looks good for me to show up after 1:00 PM for a short time.
Also need to find snowblower parts.
Fortunately, at least one wingnut will be at the party--that's half of what I need.
Up to you Patrick.
I will be there around 12:30pm. Can't wait to meet everyone.
If one of you Kilngons have access to a transporter beam me over to Milwaukee. If not have a great day gentlemen.
Chris - OTBL
Prediction: Jaguars beat Patriots in playoffs.
