Happy Holidays

[Sgt PSN]

Technically, Christmas wasn't a real holiday until shopping malls were invented. 

[Phanatic]

Actually Christmas was "invented" to allow the different pagan cultures throughout Europe to assimulate to the Catholic Church. There was much debate over the span of several hundred years as to what the day should actually be. Meaning that no one really knows when Christ was actually born. Not that any of that matters. the spirit of the holiday is actually good if a bit over commercialized in our time.

Now Santa's current incarnation was invented by the department stores and shopping malls.

[Diomedes]

And by Coca Cola.

The best thing that ever happened to Christmas was the commercialization.  There is nothing wrong with buying presents for your friends and family.  It's a much better thing to be generous with the ones you love than to make a spectacle of your god worship.

Any exciting new years events for tonight?? I'm heading up to a friends place to party all night...nothing big, low key with close friends. happy new year fargas

[MadMarchHare]

Nah.  Taped Live Free or Die Hard and Pirates 3 off pay per view.  Hoping for a happy ending (unlikely, I know you care).  Be asleep long before midnight.  Hell, I'm drunk now, might be asleep by dinner.

People are coming over for what will almost certainly devolve into shotgunning beer, video games and/or zombie movies.

[MadMarchHare]

Does the dog piss on children, or only your cat?

[Diomedes]

The dog pisses on the landlord, or his handyman.  I forget which.

The list of things the dog has pissed on:
- The cat. (x3)
- A visiting friend who was ignoring her. (Crotch)
- The landlord's friend. (Face)

I'm sure she would gladly urinate on your children, though. She's such a good girl.

[MadMarchHare]

Well, I'm not drunk enough to agree to that.  Still, if you can keep her in check, I'm sure I could book a flight from O'Hare which could get to Boston before midnight.  Hold off on ED2 until I get there........

[rjs246]

She doesn't need to be kept in check. Her targets are chosen with a heartless calculation that can only be admired.

And feared.
