Who wants more Kool-Aid? Anyone?

[The Dread Pirate Chris]

Zoo... Toxicology...
Clearly, these were on the menu.

[Margaritaville]

I'll bring the warm day old potato salad!

[Siouxie]

I'll take my burger extra rare, plz!

OK, so I work in a "forensics related" field for a large police department.

Every year around the Holidays the office party circuit begins, and the best are what are always known as The Homicide Party, The Narcotics Party, and the not to be missed Medical Examiner's Party. At the last one you can always tell when a newbie has attended because they are the one's to make the "Hey, this tastes just like chicken" joke that everyone else has heard a thousand times.

Liver?! At a picnic? Oh, well...a nice glass of Chianti, please.

[Siouxie]

*tosses a plate of fava beans up to Allen*

Brian, you have the coolest job! I'm betting alcohol is always involved in those parties, eh??

[MOTW]

say "toxicologic pathology" ten times fast

That's a great sign. Thanks A to the M to the C!

I wonder what this group would name the Hardee's holes...

[MOTW]

"Picnic will be held in the Picnic Pavilion"

Autopsy will be held in the Autopsy Pavillion

Do not get these locations mixed up.

Birthday party for Punkin @ the Ramparts Pavillion!!

Siouxie...

Some years back the parties were actually held in the offices. They were always a hoot because people would try to sneak booze in somewhere. Officially it was very frowned upon in the building. Go figure. Then the organizers decided to rent a hall or hotel or whatever so it would be less work and more fun. The ME Office party is still held at the morgue though. There's always a great buffet!
; )

My father is a pathologist. Despite my asking for years, he was never able to explain to me why the morgue was always close to the cafeteria in every hospital.

[Siouxie]

Sounds like a total hoot!

9, I once visited the LA morgue. I was there to pick up tickets for a Styx concert and my friend worked there. He gave me a lab coat and a grand tour of the place all the while eating a donut. It was pretty dang cool though.

I saw dead people.

Siouxie if you want some rather "unique" gift items, there's no place better than the
Los Angeles County Coroner's Gift Shop. I have a mouse pad and a few beach towels. They are the best, and great conversation starters on the beach!

[Diva]

OMG - Brian, I'm ordering tons of their stuff! That is the GREATEST! Thanks for sharing. :D

[cowhand214]

Thanks Brian! Guess where everyone in the cowhand universe is getting their Christmas presents from this year?

On a sad note, CNN is reporting that Karl Malden has died.

[Brian]

I don't see where they have beach towels available. They're big, thick, plush and very nice. I know that they are very popular and maybe they've sold out right now. I have the black and white ones and they look just like a chalk outline. Wacky. Maybe if you're ordering you can call and ask for their availability.

[Diva]

I'd love to have those, Brian.

Karl Malden? Awww. I liked him. He's the reason I never leave home without my American Express card. :(

[MartiniShark]

Be sure not to miss the Guess-which-brand-of-hotdog-based-on-the-chemical-components parlor game!

[MartiniShark]

Holy crap, the celebrity Armegeddon won't stop! Fred Travalina also just passed away on Monday.

[Siouxie]

Brian, those are great!!! lol

[NotSherly]

Brian, they do advertize the body outline beach towels under the Pacific Ghost Highway sign. These are great. I have to have one! Thanks.

[nursecindy]

I saw that too Sharkie. I didn't mention it on the blog because it's beginning to get scary and a little depressing.

[Loudmouth]

Stars we'd like to see as toxicology experiments. Nothing like synchronicity.

Tox picnic at the zoo. Sounds like a Neverland tour.
