I guess I can see buying into a bearded guy traveling the globe and giving presents to everybody. There are a few holes in that
- time constraints
- how's the big fella getting down the chimneys?
-Reindeer flying?
The thing is, Santa has all kinds of endorsement deals with Coca-Cola, a bunch of malls, some jewelry stores, he's in a dozen or so movies starring Tim Allen...he's getting really good press.
I'm just not sure I can get behind the Easter Bunny. He travels around to all those houses by hopping? You really need to fly if you're going to cover that kind of mileage.
Also, I can barely see having time to throw some presents under a tree, let alone hiding all those eggs. Doesn't make sense.
I'm not buying it.
I'm just not...there, I said it.

Whoa! I miss a week of this blog and suddenly it's some sort of sado-masochistic internet portal where Sean posts an innocuous comment about liking mallard ducks better than canadian geese which inspires some anonymous dominatrix to start spouting off about how he is a disgusting, conservative, xenophobic, child abuser because of his views on fowl, just to get Bragg all hot and bothered. "Oh yeah. That's it. Make less sense. oh yeah. more angry nonsense. Tell me how bad I am!"
ReplyDeleteI think you should take a diffferent tack Sean and post something on abortion or immigration to see if everyone starts commenting about how much they like puppy dogs and American Idol.
I used to enjoy stirring the pot a little on here just to spice up the dialogue and only my esteemed colleague Mike Brown would bite but this has done been stirred and spiced. I miss the pseudo intelligent discussions of local politics, papism and Christmas gift-wrapping.
By the way, mallards ducks are better than canadian geese because canadian geese are aggressive carpetbaggers.
Aggressive carpetbagger? Really Dave? The only aggressive carpetbagger here is you. Canadian geese are the most beautiful of Gods creati... ok I can't even pretend. Those things are nasty and I try to run them over when they are standing in the middle of the street and I am on my way to Chipotle. Besides I had to look up what agressive carpetbagger even meant.
ReplyDeleteCould you guys maybe come over sometime? We need to refresher of the Bumper story, the best story ever. Matter of factly, this is a great forum, why don't you just go ahead and tell it. Go ahead.
In college, I sorta wish my nickname would have been carpetbagger.
ReplyDeleteAnd by college, I mean right now.
We actually have areas blocked off with yellow caution tape at our campus here at my office with signs that say "beware--agressive geese nesting here." We also got email notices that we are to flap our arms and hiss if the canadian geese come after us.
ReplyDeleteSeriously.
you're right. it does get me hot and bothered. i loves me some anonymous. and by loves, i mean check out fuller's carpetbagger reference above...
ReplyDeletei'm catching up too dave. and i'm speechless - scared and speechless. hope all is well with the murphys and the wolfenbergers though!
ReplyDeletewolfenberger,
ReplyDeleteso a woman who states her opinions and continues to debate after many attempts to silence her is a dominatrix, huh? Yep, Christian ladies, There's a catch!
Steve,
still waiting for that email.
Now who's instigating?
ReplyDeleteI stopped, wolfenberger attacked, I defended. End of story.
ReplyDeletewill you define "attack" for us on this blog so we don't have to continue this game?
ReplyDeletesorry. clarification:
ReplyDeleteanonymous, would you define attack.
I don't think Sean needs to define attack, as that was misleading in my previous comment.
