Johnny... my ex was a rabid Tom Lehrer fan. if you liked that you should get his albums. They are hilarious.

ahh ha ha ha ha.... good one Johnny.

LMAO!!!

I'm surprised you survived the uprising of the Boxer fanatics. Their loose fit makes them dangerous!

My BFF made up a new game for Hanukah this year. Choose your favorite song with the word "you" in it and substitute the word 'Jew':

"Jews light up my life
Jews give me hope
To carry on
Jews light up my days
and fill my nights with song"

All skate.

I find it hard to believe that that kind of inflation can exist in the modern world. Last time I heard of anything that extreme was during the Boxer Rebellion.

First you get down on your knees,
Fiddle with your rosaries,
Bow your head with great respect,
And genuflect, genuflect, genuflect!

Do whatever steps you want, if
You have cleared them with the pontiff.
Everybody say his own
Kyrie eleison,
Doin the vatican rag.

Get in line in that processional,
Step into that small confessional,
There, the guy whos got religionll
Tell you if your sins original.
If it is, try playin it safer,
Drink the wine and chew the wafer,
Two, four, six, eight,
Time to transubstantiate!

So get down upon your knees,
Fiddle with your rosaries,
Bow your head with great respect,
And genuflect, genuflect, genuflect!

Make a cross on your abdomen,
When in rome do like a roman,
Ave maria,
Gee its good to see ya,
Gettin ecstatic an
Sorta dramatic an
Doin the vatican rag!

-Tom Lehrer

dontcha wanna look like Laura Ingalls? Come on, I know some of you have Laura Ingalls fetishes. Admit it.

Well, to a pagan, those chicks on the tramp are Mormons. Specifically, Mormons in their prairie outfits.

aren't polygamists Mormons?

ahh ha ha ha ha... Mormons on a trampoline!!! That is awesome itself.

"The Holly King, represents the Death aspect of the God at this time of year; and the Oak King, represents the opposite aspect of Rebirth (these roles are reversed at Midsummer). This can be likened to the Divine Child's birth. The myth of the Holly King/Oak King probably originated from the Druids to whom these two trees were highly sacred. The Oak King (God of the Waxing Year) kills the Holly King (God of the Waning Year) at Yule (the Winter Solstice). The Oak King then reigns supreme until Litha (the Summer Solstice) when the two battle again, this time with the Holly King victorious. Examples of the Holly King's image can be seen in our modern Santa Claus."
- Yule and Its Lore

"Yule, is when the dark half of the year relinquishes to the light half. Starting the next morning at sunrise, the sun climbs just a little higher and stays a little longer in the sky each day. Known as Solstice Night, or the longest night of the year, much celebration was to be had as the ancestors awaited the rebirth of the Oak King, the Sun King, the Giver of Life that warmed the frozen Earth and made her to bear forth from seeds protected through the fall and winter in her womb. Bonfires were lit in the fields, and crops and trees were "wassailed" with toasts of spiced cider."
- Yule Lore

"The Winter Solstice, also known as Midwinter, occurs around December 21 or 22 each year in the Northern hemisphere, and June 20 or 21 in the Southern Hemisphere. It occurs on the shortest day or longest night of the year, sometimes said to astronomically mark the beginning or middle of a hemisphere's winter. The word solstice derives from Latin, Winter Solstice meaning Sun set still in winter. Worldwide, interpretation of the event varies from culture to culture, but most hold a recognition of rebirth, involving festivals, gatherings, rituals or other celebrations. Many cultures celebrate or celebrated a holiday near the winter solstice; examples of these include Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, New Years, Pongal, Yalda and many other festivals of light. The solstice itself may have remained a special moment of the annual cycle of the year since neolithic times. This is attested by physical remains in the layouts of late Neolithic and Bronze Age archeological sites like Stonehenge and New Grange in the British Isles. The primary axes of both of these monuments seem to have been carefully aligned on a sight-line framing the winter solstice sunrise (New Grange) and the winter solstice sunset (Stonehenge). The winter solstice may have been immensely important because communities were not assured to live through the winter, and had to be prepared during the previous nine months. Starvation was common in winter between January to April, also known as the famine months. In temperate climes, the midwinter festival was the last feast celebration, before deep winter began. Most cattle were slaughtered so they would not have to be fed during the winter, so it was nearly the only time of year when a supply of fresh meat was available. The majority of wine and beer made during the year was finally fermented and ready for drinking at this time. The concentration of the observances were not always on the day commencing at midnight or at dawn, but the beginning of the pre-Romanized day, which falls on the previous eve."

"At Christmas I no more desire a rose
Than wish a snow in Mayís new-fangled mirth;
But like of each thing that in season grows."
- William Shakespeare


"I speak cold silent words a stone might speak
If it had words or consciousness,
Watching December moonlight on the mountain peak,
Relieved of mortal hungers, the whole mess
Of needs, desires, ambitions, wishes, hopes.
This stillness in me knows the sky's abyss,
Reflected by blank snow along bare slopes,
If it had words or consciousness,
Would echo what a thinking stone might say
To praise oblivion words can't possess
As inorganic muteness goes its way.
There's no serenity without the thought serene,
Owl-flight without spread wings, honed eyes, hooked beak,
Absence without the meaning absence means.
To rescue bleakness from the bleak,
I speak cold silent words a stone might speak."
- Robert Pack, Stone Thoughts



"Now the corn mazes truly are frightening;
bedraggled hulking husks of a sinister thinness,
looming and swaying over the tamped-down paths
littered with their fallen hides ó
ochreíd in the early winter darkness,
they rustle at the unsympathetic winds,
conspiratorial whispers
interwoven with the harsh hiss of the season.

What child now dares lose themselves
among these rasping ghouls, whose shrouds
come peeling off in leprous strips? What child now
dares enter this maze of death? What child? None!
For what they truly seek is not a fright,
but to be startled by delight."
- Christopher Watkins, December Sonnet


"All the leaves are brown
And the sky is grey
I went for a walk
On a winter's day
I'd be safe and warm
If I was in L.A.
California dreamin'
On such a winter's day."
- Mammas and Pappas, California Dreamin

some of these are really amazing

I can't really argue with that.

congratulations Ruth!!! You are a class act all the way.

XOXO

Now I'm sad I only had one child. I think I'll adopt some kids and name them Columbine, Chernobyl, Pol Pot, Hiroshima, and John Wayne Gacy.

I think those people are scary idiots, but at the same time I'm kind of annoyed at the people who wouldn't make a 'Happy Birthday Adolph Hitler' cake. I mean seriously, it's not like it was decorated with dead Jews.

Was it?

That may the the single most disturbing thing I have ever witnessed on the internets. :::goes to find brain bleach::::

uhm... I think what you mean is you have some kinky fetishes. : P

AHHHH HA HA HA HA!!!! Oh Sherri... now there's something I did not know about you. That completely rocks.
