Just drove a stake through Santy's heart....

Blows nose in it. Linen turns out to be not so good for holding booger-juice. She hands it back...

Stillwater: Keep it, wasn't one of my favourites anyhow.

Gimme a "G"...... G!
Gimme an 'URL..... URL!
Gimmie "zBoo!"......
Gimme B-B-B-B-B-Bs...
and whaddya got!?!




GURLZBOOBIES!! YEH!

There was talk and organizing for a Christmas party at the retail store where I work.

I've already told them that I would not be going! Bah, humbug!!

You just brighten my life every day, Stilly!

Now you've added Bethie to the number of women you've proposed to (or propositioned) on a2k!

The Christmas cat of Deb's does look a bit like some Poss ones - but they apparently got lost when my computer died.

Bethie - new job with longer travel, but more money....hmmmm. Change anyway.

Thank you Sozobe.

No tissues, snits, wails...just a nice,. sensible url.

Well done Bethy!


Though, as you say, the commute sucks.

I had no idea Stilly was made from the finest linen.

Yeah?! Seems more like a red-ragger type to me!

Finest AND softest! Honestly, you could wipe your bottom with me.....

Are you coming onto me?

Must be your turn now!

Well, hello NEWMAN!

Don't listen to her Jes. Send me a picture of the buttocks in question and we'll take it from there.

Two bits of Christmas 'cheer' (insert hollow laugh) from the Mall of Shopping today:

1. Santa/Satan has set up shop, flogging vastly overpriced images of self with passing rug-rats. I spotted him waving weakly in the direction of a pram - sure enough as it trundled past me, there was a little bubba. Tears had be rolling down its face, and that mouth thing babies do when upset. "Don't feed me to the big red monster Mommy!!" Stuff you, Kris Kringle!

2. Passed a stand of 'Mens' Gifts. Stuff for men, manly man, men in tights, we wander around the forest, get into.... Ok. Pure crap. A utility belt, FFS! Golf stuff. But one thing caught my eye; a nostril hair-trimmer. Just the thing if your nose foliage resembles a furry catepillar making a determined attack to burrow into your head. And it does ears as well! However, what did it for me was the bloke on the box. He looked as though his entire life had been fulfilled with the gifting of this item. Honestly, standing there looking as pleased as someone who won the Lottery except he has this goddam hair-trimmer stuck in his ear!

I am seriously considering getting net access for my notebook. The friggin' carols that I am forced to listen to as I post are sapping me of whatever will to live I have.

If I hear another version of the 'Little Drummer Boy' or 'Away in a Manger' I am opening a vein.

...or 'The First Noel'. Coz they're playing it right now.


That just doesn't make any sense. There wasn't an Israel. It was the Roman province of Judeah. And the king didn't order every baby boy killed (merry Christmas, my ass) as the Romans would crucified him as a senseless mass-murderer.

And they couldn't have gone to Egypt and back. It would have taken ages and what was Joseph gonna do on the way - not much call for carpentry out in the friggin' desert. The guy had a business to look after, doesn't say that 'Joseph the carpenter came back after 5 years in Egypt to find his workshop and house had been repossessed for not paying his rates'.


And Good King Wenceslas (that's on now). Why would anyone in Central Europe open their windows in the middle of Winter? Especially the king - why wasn't he 'kinging' someone else's wife... peasants, mules, bullshit!

I have long shunned Christmas and have made my feelings well known. I have decided with my parents getting older and our kids one foot out the door, that what am I really doing? I am shunning people away from me. Is that what celebrating a holiday is all about? Yes, people are all different faiths, practices, and cultures these days, but since the Christian religion predominates in the U.S., can it not be looked at as just a time of fellowship with everyone - and what's wrong with being nice and accepting niceness back? Get over yourself, and hang a sprig of mistletoe or something already. You might be distracting someone from a lousy life at home for a few minutes, be part of the gang, or just enjoy life for a while. If you lived in another country that doesn't practice the Christian faith predominantly, then go with what's going on there. Doesn't mean that your soul is going to be kidnapped and converted whether you like it or not. So, have a very happy, merry ChristmaKwanzaaHindiAgonisticAtheist Holiday and make someone's day - it'll end up making your day!

Thanks for your thoughts mm84 (and welcome to A2K, if those slackers haven't already done so). Don't worry - Stillwater bitching and moaning about Christmas is a annual event here on A2K. In fact, Stillwater bitching and moaning about just about everything is what he does best.






...btw, watch out for the wabbit.
