Along deserted avenues Steam begins to rise The figures primed and ready Prepared for quick surprise He's watchin' for a sign His life is on the line Dogs whine in the alleys Smoke is on the wind From deep inside its empty shell A cathedral bell begins to toll A storm begins to grow Amidst the upturned burned-out cars The challengers await And in their fists clutch iron bars With which to seal his fate Across his chest is scabbards rest The rows of throwing knives Whose razor points in challenged tests Have finished many lives Now facing one another The stand-off eats at time Then all at once a silence falls As the bell ceases its chime Upon this sign the challengers With shrieks and cries rush forth The knives fly out like bullets Upon their deadly course Screams of pain and agony Rent the silent air Amidst the dying bodies Blood runs everywhere The figure stands expressionless Impassive and alone Unmoved by this victory And the seeds of death he's sown Sworn to avenge Condemn to Hell Tempt not the blade All fear the Sentinel Christian I have drunk the cool-aid and found it wan and bitter. - Chris Maunder

In our area (southern California), they started putting up Christmas decorations BEFORE Thanksgiving...even the Salvation Army "Bell Ringers" were outside the Post Offices at least a week before Thanksgiving...There are a few homes in my neighborhood that have front yard displays so big and bright, they can probably be seen from the Space Station. :omg: Steve
Steve Mayfield wrote: There are a few homes in my neighborhood that have front yard displays so big and bright, they can probably be seen from the Space Station. ROTFL. There are a couple of big industrial complexes on the drive home, one that makes zinc, and the other makes concrete, I think. My kids see those lights sometimes and think they are a house decorated for Xmas. Christian I have drunk the cool-aid and found it wan and bitter. - Chris Maunder

At the risk of sounding grinch-ish, I am beginning my usual descent into fear of public places that play non-stop Christmas carols. I was out for brunch yesterday and was going loopy after about 20 minutes. Whenever I'm close to snapping, "come, they told him, pa rum pa pa pum" kicks in, without fail. I fear for my sanity. It's only the 8th. :~ Bianca Wylie
At least you have some sanity to worry about :rolleyes: Elaine (manic giggling fluffy tigress) The tigress is here :-D

As do I, although I have learned to dismiss it. Have you gotten to that point yet? At first however it drove me crazy. :sigh: Signature under construction.

It depends on how busy it has been, if I have been really busy I can easily dismiss it, but if its a little slow it will drive me nuts.

I see, yeah the same goes for me, the more people asking for stuff, the easier to dismiss the music. Signature under construction.

I hear ya. <scrooge-mode>They ought to ban x-mas!</scrooge-mode> Seriously though, I hate the stress that fills the air this time of year. It's got a grip of me right now. I haven't bought any presents yet, and I wonder how much longer I can procrastinate. :sigh: -- I'm your turbo lover. Better run for cover![^]

It's not being a sour-puss at all. It's being sensitive to terrible terrible music. Christmas is lovely. Multiple renditions of The Little Drummer Boy on a daily basis are not. ;P rum pa pum pum, rum pa pum pum, rum pa pum. Something about grown people singing that chorus really does me in. Bianca Wylie

I think that the renditions and styles of Christmas music they pick are tasteless and sometimes annoying, but IMO it's better than what they have the rest of the year, so I don't complain. ;)
