I'll second that. All you yaaahooos (you know who you are) have a
Merry Christmas. I wish this for you regardless of religion or lack
thereof. Shucks, have a merry one even if you're gay. . . or
(shudder) a librarian. It's a special day for my family and I, and I
can't see why everyone else shouldn't share in the merriment.

Yo, ho, ho... (oops, that's from Talk Like a Pirate Day)

Ho, Ho, Ho. (that's better)

A Happy Holiday to you and all the other Roffians, family and friends.

Looking forward to fishing and hobnobbing with lots of you in the New Year.

That's what I love about Christmas - all the tidings of comfort and joy,

Santa got his start with a kindly German priest who became known as
"Saint Nicholas".


I'm too lazy to do a google search, but I'm pretty sure he was Turkish.

I guess I have to be the one to break it to you that Santa Claus and St.
Nicolas are entirely mythical figures, no matter what your parents told
you when you were four years old. :-)

Maybe. Mythical figures and places can be very uncooperative. Many of them
turn out to have a solid basis in fact.

Same deal with the Tooth Fairy and the Easter Bunny. And Satan and God.
And reincarnation and zombies. All myths.

Hm.....

Well, the first entry on that list leaves hard currency. Don't know how
things work in Idaho, but that's considerably less mythological than most of
MY fiduciary transactions these days.

When you die you cease to exist. You become a cold, lifeless collection of
disorganized molecules. Dead, dead, dead.

Maybe. But unless you've been there, you don't know. And if you
have.....well, then you're just plain wrong.

Deal with it.

That's precisely what folks are trying to do.

Enjoy your life while it lasts.

This much at least is easier with you here. :)

Merry Christmas!

As for my use of the word "hate"? Pardon the term, but I have
reluctantly become convinced that it is factual.

Reluctantly? Bull****. You suck it up. It's what you came here for.
And you haven't got the common decency to say "thank you".

This is a very strange scenario. It's like some kid in the classroom used
a dirty word, and nothing happened to him, so all the other kids are trying
the word out to see what happens to them. When called on it, even though
they know its wrong, they play dumb (i.e., the "I don't know" response to
"who taught you that word?").
