I propose bringing back codpieces for the festive season.
What better way to liven up the work christmas party than with one of these babies...
Multiple varieties to choose from:
- Santa hat, complete with fuzzy pompom
- Rudolph with blinking nose
- Snowman with jaunty carrot
-
Christmas tree with tinsel and fairy lights
Bells on all of them of course.
Nearly forgot, this one's dedicated to po.
Sorry 'bout that po, one other idea I came up with was baked and the other involved karaoke.
(?) A weird comic that I found from Google (number 11)

Somehow Santa with a codpiece is just wrong. Wouldn't it hurt when he got stuck in the chimney? (edit: changed link to directory page, hopefully more accessible now (ta Rods)) [madradish, Oct 04 2004]
Deck the balls

(?) reminded me of this for some reason - does "jobs worth" mean the same world wide?

Since your idea is still in development here, [madradish], I 'd like to make you a proposal. Your "Deck the halls with prows of holly" line would really be so much better received over on my "Santa Cruise" idea. How would it be if we made a trade? I'll take "prows of holly" for a croissant today and two quips to be determined in the future? Fair? I'll even toss in a fruitcake and a couple of egg nogs, just to sweeten the offer. |

My dear jurist, development is complete. You may borrow the quip if you duly acknowledge the source. I'm not sure where the balls come in though...I'm not sure if I want to either <g>. |
|

I caught the fruitcake before it crushed your foot, madradish - So, I figure that's worth oh, 2 croissants in its elf |
|
| |
Geez, you're a tough trader, [madradish]. My error, I guess, or perhaps it was just because you were still raising the structure, but I could have sworn it said "Deck the Halls", not "deck the balls"...I'm slinking back to my developer's trailer now. |

[Madradish] surely that comic doesn't hit your average Sunday funny papers. If so, I may have to totally revise the wholesome impression I have of Australia and the Antipodes. In fact, I think you just turned my entire global concept upside down. |

Nyet. I found it when googling the idea prior to posting (can't be too careful). About the worst we get in the papers down here is Dilbert. |

so a po-piece eh? thanks(I think?) [sweet ma(i)d]
I keep thinking that codpieces went under the trousers - am I wrong? |
|
| |
Commingle bells,
Intermingle bells,
Mingle, swing and sway.
Oh what fun it is to wear
a codpiece Christmas Day! |
|
| |
Codpiece be with you.
And also with you. |
|
| |
Hark! The codpiece, it doth swing... |

Eldridge Cleaver, a few years before he died, tried marketing trousers with codpieces. They were a flop. [pun intended] |
