“As a Buddhist, this is beautiful. Christians really do need to stand up and reclaim Christmas because big business and human greed have transformed a spiritual beautiful day into a month long binge eating and booze fest, and its quite simply very sad, and I say this as a Buddhist.”
I’m thinking (with slight apology to my Tribe Readers) that the slogan for this reclamation effort should be: “Next Year In Bethlehem”.
And I say this as an atheist.
“Ye may tak’ oor lands, oor lives, oor haggis… but ye’ll ne’er tak’ oor football!”
Defiant Celtic fans clash with police in Glasgow as they storm football ground to watch match after crowds were capped at 500 in Sturgeon’s Christmas crackdown
For once, I find myself agreeing with the manky Scots. And a pox on their foul slag of a PM.
So let’s get out of the hot water with some humor, starting off with a kiddie joke:
Now for the grownup stuff:
Note the pedal extensions…
And speaking of extensions:
As the man said:
Like a post-Christmas Day hangover, here we go again with the “news”.
…were the Neolithic tribes Black? I think we should be told.
…so they’re saying that only White people can do math ? Isn’t that rayciss?
But just to the south:
…and about damn time too, say I.
…the only way this headline could have been any worse is if it had been with a puppy.
Then again:
…and to think they outlawed public flogging.
Some better news:
…let’s hope that a host of others (e.g. rappers) follow his lead, and make it sooner.
…alas, it’s satire — but then again, so is ex-Senator Maojacket.
…no doubt the Justice Department will want to prosecute the wall’s builder.
…as long as there wasn’t an iPhone among them…
And now, INSIGNIFICA:
And right on time, here’s Kelly to make us feel all warm and snuggly for the season:
If you have the week off, well done. If your evil bloodsucking scumbagbastard of a boss is making you go to work this week… I’m so sorry.
Sod off, Swampy. Trying to stop la famille du Toit from getting together at this time of year would take a company of Marines, and even that might not work.
We do Christmas meals a little differently from most people. It’s too long a back story to tell now, but basically, we stagger our Christmas meals so that various of the family members can visit with their in-laws, girlfriends’ / boyfriends’ parents on Christmas Day.
So Christmas Day is always devoted to an early-morning present-opening ceremony, followed by a Full English breakfast:
…after which the kids scatter to the four winds.
That was yesterday.
Today is Boxing Day (in Britishland), which is when the family comes back to our place for a proper Christmas dinner (roast beef with Yorkshire pudding):
That will be this evening… and I’m still full from yesterday.
Have mercy.
Have a wonderful day, everybody.
