Oh, come on...as tasteless as you are, competing should be easy.


Hey, don't horn in on my turf. I'm the most foul, fat, gross, lying, insulting, vulgar stinking
piece of crap here.


Got it!

I agree with you %100.

Awe, come on John! Make it as gaudy as you can, we'd all LOVE to see
the pics!

No, no. I didn't say I'd be *in* the parade! I'd just watch. From a
distance. Like...

"From a distance we are instruments
marching in a common band.
Playing songs of hope, playing songs of peace.
They're the songs of every man.
God is watching us. God is watching us.
God is watching us from a distance."

Like that.

Oh, come on...as tasteless as you are, competing should be easy.

You can light up one side of your boat with a massive tacky cross,
put an American flag on the other side and on the stern a huge Christmas
tree, all in lights...and you can hang hologram ornaments off the tree
depicting the products of your familial baby factories.

Putting down families again, huh Harry? Don't you get the message? Maybe
you and Jimh just have too much in common.

Now that's a frightening thought. (snipped)

Aren't you glad you don't have them often? Thoughts, I mean.

Of course the whole tradition of celebrating the Chritmas holiday with
lighted trees, etc. actually goes back to pagan holidays in northern
Europe which were celebrating the passage of the shortest day of the
year. The Roman Jesuits, being ever practical, decided that it was in
the best interests of their mission if people were allowed to retain
some semblance of their old celebrations.

Thanks, Chuck! I knew someone would jump on it!
