Man I'm so far behind in the comments I don't know if I'll get caught up. New one up yet? I'm doing it wrong.

Really? Far from, apparently. But... but everyone in Okla puts the apostrophe in "y'all" in the correct place, not where Gabe and that poser Shakespeare put it.

Thank you to all for the quotes, hymns, prayers, thoughts. Much appreciated.

Um... Maybe I should say: Those who might be easily put off by a playful take on the Nativity narrative may want to skip the links I gave.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

The town was filled to overflowing with citizens forced to sign up for CaesarCare. So many travelers, a young couple had to lodge in the stables.

Yet they were all by themselves when she was giving birth?

Question the lonely birth narrative.

I'm kinda partial to the one with George C. Scott, and Scrooged is a hoot and a holler.
I don't think there's a bad one.

I dimly recall a Mr Magoo version -- I only remember that I didn't think I wanted to see it again.

Mikhail Kalashnikov was the chief dancer in the Russian Ballet's production of choreographer E. Holder's animated adaptation of Fast & Furious.

So glad you cleared that up! (Great quote - thanks!!))

Good morning! Sweaters, long johns, and wool socks oh my. 12° now, up to 40° today, back to 12° tonight. Oklahoma. At least our coating of ice should melt away today. The dusting of snow last night on top of the ice was a little treacherous for travel, but Currier & Ives gorgeous. Y'might say, Christmasy.

MERRY CHRISMAS YOU OLDE HORDE YOU!

now... to gobble more comments...

Ace is up. The horde, the day, and also I must move on. Belatedly, then:

OSP, GREAT! Read it aloud, cold, to the Mrs. Worried where it was going at first, choked up in the middle. LOL'd.

A righteous reflection of the community, with powerful, heartfelt sentiment, even Truth, shining in a pile of... um... seriously, nice, nice work.

Gotcha. I was not being humorous. In the spirit of the season, though,I'll refrain from sharing my dark cloud, and simply echo what you said: Merry Christmas to all, and God bless us every one.
Posted by: Insomniac

Understood, Insomniac, and your seasonal wishes mean all the more, therefore. May your 2014 be more blessed.

Great heavens! 2014 is nigh upon us!!

My life to do over...

Damn. If I could have one Christmas wish granted, that would be mine too.
Posted by: Insomniac

My soul is grateful for everything & wouldnt change a thing. I am fabulously and unworthily 'wealthy' where it counts, mostly. So, that was 'only' my mortal mind's dark humor.

'Cause, Butterfly Effect, anything I'd change would probably really make things worse...

But, yes, too many things my mortal mind thinks could have... gone better. :/

So...

Merry Chrismas to all, and God bless us every one.

"Many's the time I've posted a link to something that I WISH people would read, but the momentum of the conversation simply doesn't go that way." - D-Lamp

Somebody posted extensive response to a comment of mine some threads back -- maybe you? -- just as Real Life (so called) distacted me, and then time rolled on... Harder to keep track on the cell where I usually check AoS than the desktop where work distacts me. :§

"Meeeerrryyy Christmasssss Ho-Ho-Ho !" -Santa

And a new bicycle.

A transistor radio.

Peace on earth.

My folks to not be divorced.

My life to do over...

So if I drop a heylookatmything comment at the end of a thread, then find a new thread hijacked the horde, should I
a. Re-post the whole comment to everyone's annoyance?

b. Post a link back to the comment which everyone can ignore?

c. Accept what was as ordained density and don't fight it, son, you can't change density.

d. STFU & STFD already, nobody cares.

e. Post an even more annoying self-beclowning multiple-choice-ish comment?

f!

That's my father-in-law, whom I never got to meet, since his daughter & I met in '73. But I've always thought he seemed like a great guy.

Yesterday's:

While the 'acting' and dialog are modernish, it's supposed to be period. I spent as little time as possible in period clothing, customs, etc. research, though, as is my way. Just a hastily-made doodle.

And I must say I'm shocked, shocked that AP would suggest Obamacare would raise costs.

Know it, not so shocking. But say so...?!?

She was Polish.
Posted by: Mary Poppins'

Yeah, the deficiency of vowels pretty much gave that away.

That treaty Carter brokered between the Poles and the Hawaiians never was honored.

Dear Pixy or whom it may concern.

mediamtvn.services.com keeps popping up on the front page to tell me there's a problem with my .get.xml module and it's looking for Safari which I'm not using.

Every reload since last night.

You don't meet a lot of folks named Apollonia anymore... even as a middle name. Maybe I don't know enough Greeks.

Chalupiec sounds Slavic, though. Or Incan. Or Cthululian.

G'morn, all. Just scanned the first 90+ & saw no Vic.

16° here. But, highs in the 40s for most of the week. I'll take it.

Oppose tyranny! Wish folks a Merry Christmas!

here's what I actually look like.

tinypic never works on my cell.

You still look the same to me. With cigar.

...

I miss Carol. :ĺ

Some mean-spirited tattletale pointed to my #53 as causing some kind of blog mis-shaping... which apparently happened and got fixed between reloads for me, or anyway I never saw it. My post looked okay to me.

I can't imagine I did anything to cause a problem, just the usual c/p from Notepad.

Unless... the blogware was having an allergic reaction to the sheer stupidity of my post, which would be entirely understandable.

Congrats to the Hammer. You #1. You #1. Better You Than Me! You #1.

Who TH is 'White people r Pussies'?

I'm not on the lists, so I can rest well tonight!

I'd like to thank the wedding, the two ballet performances, the ice storm, the short days, the long nights, Christmas shopping, Post-Thanksgiving Trauma Syndrome, Seasonal Affective Disorder, my rural connection's variable IP, and my lack of a real computer at home. Mostly the last.
