Office Decorations

I spent most of last night putting together some suitable decorations and props for the country our work team has chosen for the World Cup Tipping Comp.

Fortunately we had chosen Germany who should do well in the Cup.

After a bit of a brainstorm, we decided on a couple of things that emit the German spirit: beer, sausage, saurkraut and Adolf Hitler.
We however, decided against the last option as it was considered too offensive, and decided also to pass on the saurkraut in case it soured our country's chances of winning :)

After a quick trip to get some remnants and toy filling, it was time to start wrapping up the accused....a bear in mint condition, purchased for 50c at the recent Lifeline BookFest, and stuffing a pair of old stockings and manipulating them into strings of sausages.

A large beer mug kindly donated from a related male completed the piece.

On coming to work and placing the items strategically in the office, a considerable amount of murmurs wafed through as people pondered the items displayed. The 50c bear was then christened with the appropriate name of 'Johann'.

On coming back from lunch however, we found that another team has outdone us in the stakes by decorating their entire work area.

Although I reckon the sausages are still the best.

EDIT: Someone would like to see photos of this so here it is:
