I thoroughly love Christmas. It is the only time we can torture the sour-pusses of the world with good cheer and merriment.:laugh:

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
Come they told me, pa rum pum pum pum A new born King to see, pa rum pum pum pum Our finest gifts we bring, pa rum pum pum pum To lay before the King, pa rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum, When we come. Little Baby, pa rum pum pum pum I am a poor boy too, pa rum pum pum pum I have no gift to bring, pa rum pum pum pum That's fit to give the King, pa rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum, Shall I play for you, pa rum pum pum pum, On my drum? Mary nodded, pa rum pum pum pum The ox and ass [lamb] kept time, pa rum pum pum pum I played my drum for Him, pa rum pum pum pum I played my best for Him, pa rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum, Then He smiled at me, pa rum pum pum pum Me and my drum. Aged 5 I marched into the family room in front of aunts, uncles, cousins, sister, mother and father carrying my little drum, dressed as a drummer boy and playing to this tune. No shame at that age I tell you :-D regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass South Africa Brian Welsch wrote: "blah blah blah, maybe a potato?" while translating my Afrikaans. Crikey! ain't life grand?

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
Not soapbox material, honest! Christian Graus wrote: I've often wondered if these societies that killed virgins did so to make chicks put out. Can't kill her if she's not a virgin.... Theres an obscure ditty by the Brobdingnagian Bards all about Dragons and their peculiar diet. Of the top of my head... Do virgins taste better than those who are not? Are they salty or sweet, more juicy, or what? etc, OK, maybe that quote was verging on soapbox material if you have that sort of mind! :-O Iain.

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
Here in San Diego, one of the local radio stations started playing 24/7 Christmas music about a MONTH ago...:wtf:
