Default Merry...Whatever

I just wanted all of you to know what a great joy I've had shooting the
breeze with you, agreeing with you, disagreeing with you, being
killfiled by you, and writing down the names of those who I thought
might have killfiled me in the "List Of Doom" during the past year.
I don't know half of you half as well as I'd like, and like less than
half as well as you deser...
Well, that sounds like an incipient lawsuit, doesn't it?
Okay... let's see what I really can write.
May every moment of every day of each of your lives hold within it a
challenge, promise, joy, and possibility that even you yourself never
dreamed of, until it comes upon you like a rainbow after a storm, or the
first robin's call in a new spring's dawn. :-)

....I was just about to make a post commenting on how the number of
posts that got through the Killfile Hell screeners was all of a sudden
drastically lower than the total number of new posts, when Pat posted
this:

....So *THAT'S* it. A quick check of the Killfile Census, and -somehow-
Patrick got tossed in there. That's been corrected, and the guilty
parties responsible have been sacked.

....Now, with -that- out of the way, here's wishing a Merry Chrisnukkah
to all of you out there. I've got quite a few pages up on Chrisnukkah
stuff and nonsense on OMBlog, so feel free to drop by and check out
the goodies. Highlights include:

* OM's Top Ten Chrisnukkah Specials Plus Two - Includes online
streaming links to most of them, even though ABC Family Channel
appears to be trying to cram in all of them before they run the 666
Club.

* Links to parody videos, including A Charlie Brown Kwanzaa!

* OM's Chrisnukkah Gift List, including tons of gift ideas for
everyone to look for when the bargains start on Tuesday!

* OM's Chrisnukkah wishes for Cindy Sheehan and her ilk!

....And more! Bring the egg nog when you drop by, eh?

I think it's important that we stop for a moment and reflect on our
lives. Sometimes in our haste we often forget about certain truths. We
forget what we're doing here. We get caught up in the bustle, the
Christmas music, the gift-giving, the celebrations.

Most importantly, we should remember whose birthday this is we're
celebrating. If it wasn't for him, our lives would be less rich, less
fulfilling. I think it's time to honor him and give the respect that is
due on this important day. So, happy birthday Rod Serling.

Can all of that your flap and out of the letters of
Merry Christmas
come up with something distinctly better than
Stirs Mace Myrrh
now before it's too late and Santa takes back xmas.

Or that, in the spirit of xmas, you graceful won't.

Let's see. You are praying for poor mega-medicated Bush that, even tho he
got his ass kicked and was too numb to notice, when the anesthetics wears
off, he'll jump up and run like a mad man from an enraged hornets nest. ;-)

Riddle of the day.
Does Santa give those who have been asking for it
what they've been asking for?

Hm. That's ample reason for Uncle Scrooge and all his mega-rich CEO
underling stooges to celebrate the birth the little boy who makes them not
less rich. I suggest you embellish your theme to 'would be more rich' to
have full appeal to all, rich and poor alike.

Now that's what I call the Christmas spirit.

It must suck to be you.

Thank you. How come you didn't solve the xmas riddles?
The xmas spirit didn't move you?

It must suck to be you.

Oh, shucks. No sooner than I ask and you tell me:
the xmas spirit doesn't move you. Here's a lump of
coal, keep warm Chachet, you poor humorless spirit.

Repeat after me, it'll make you happier,
"Ho Ho Ho."
