Stay inside tonight, avoid mid-county at all costs, put your dog to bed early, because the CS department is having its annual faculty/staff party at my house tonight.

Yes, when CS profs let down their hair, you better beware. There is likely to be raucous drinking, lewd and unbecoming behavior, bar brawls -- and that's just downstairs where the children will be.

So if you are brave enough to venture out tonight, and find yourself in the vicinity of my house tonight, between 6 and 10 PM, and want to come sing Christmas Carols for food or drink, have at it.

I just hope our neighbors don't mind the noise.
