Sweaters and Beer

Turck wore this kick-ass sweater as a joke, but we all thought it actually looked good on him.


Nate chilling with an alternate Lindsey (or Lindsay... I've never seen it written).


Matt talks to Laura about what a loser her boyfriend is...



Matthew wearing a look of apparent disdain. Could be the taste of the water in the cup (we sobered up after beer pong)... I didn't like it either.

 

Foosers

Hey - no bare midriffs....


Sleeper hold?

 

Assorted

Double chin in full effect here. Any guesses about my resolution for the new year?


We turned Laura's camera over to Wendy for much of the party. There were a few interesting results (some very nice artistic shots, and some things I would rather not have seen....).

Below, Brett and KP.


It was nice to see Links (though perhaps not this close) and Brooke.

 

Randoms

The 'Cousin It' shot, inspired by Christine, I believe. Paul and Bruce just look sufficiently scary.


Well girls, I tried the red-eye reduction on this to no avail. Sorry.


Brett observes a very intense game during a particularly heated series of foosball contests.

 

More Great Couple Shots...

Wendy with her own version of the Turckface.


Does this smile seem forced?



Steve, in his Christmas best, giving praise to that guy Tom...or Phil....or Carlos....or....what's your name again? 

Beer Ponging 2

 

Beer Pong Tournament

Laura and I went undefeated to win Turck's (annual?) New Year's Eve Beer Pong Tournament.


I think Laura and Matt are discussing the finer points of Rock/Paper/Scissors prior to beginning our match.



 

Multiples

Turck's giving the face he's famous for in this shot, and I obviously need to lose some weight.

NYE 2006

Being away from home and away from my Nikon USB cable necessitates this break in chronological order... I won't be able to post pictures from the Salvation Army party at the Yahns' (12/27) until I return from Chicago. In the meantime, here are some pictures from Laura's camera from New Year's Eve.



Turck's dad is to blame for the Confederate flag in the background. We refrained from posting most of the pictures that included the flag on Facebook, lest anyone get the impression we're racists.

Anyway, this is a nice picture of Christine and Laura.




Below, Brett and Biz show how manly they can be.

Led Zeppelin UK Music Hall of Fame Induction

Gotta love Jack White's comment: "Well, I sort of don't trust anyone who doesn't like Led Zeppelin."

Wolfmother performs "Communication Breakdown" and doesn't impress me. Vocals and drums are the main problems.

Almost in Time for the Holidays

That's Robert Plant on Saturday Night Live from December 1984, with Brian Setzer on guitar and Paul Shaffer on keys.
