Frank’s away for a few days, taking a well-deserved rest. Promoting a book
SarahK is busy changing diapers and cleaning house and baking pecan pie for Frank. Being a mom is hard work. Having two children around the house (a 14-month old and a 378-month old) is tiring.
Mr. Right has popped up, and may show up again. But, it’s hard always being Mr. Right.
Harvey … well you just never know. He stays busy and doesn’t check in here as much as we’d like.
SpaceMonkey? With Frank not around for a few days, he won’t be checking in and correcting Frank’s spelling. He’s a busy guy, has kids, and this time of year is busy for normal people, much less for Cosmic Simians.
And, of course, we haven’t seen hide nor hair of the others for a while. Around here, anyway.
Me? I’m traveling this weekend, spending Christmas with my son. First time in years we’ve spent Christmas together.
What’s all this got to do with anything? Well, it kept me from beginning a post like this:
We’ve all got better things to do than deal with you, so entertain yourselves. But, in the spirit of Christmas, be nice, be charitable, and share with others.
Share your favorite blogs, news items, stories, thoughts, and such with others. Maybe even things that would be great Christmas gifts for others. (Keep it nice if it’s for a Republican presidential candidate; reserve any venom for the other side. For this post, anyway.)
Maybe list things that you’d like to give the president (you dont’ have to be so nice there; we do have an agenda here, after all). Like a wedgie. Or a brain.
Or, gift ideas for others. Use your imagination.
If you want to be all nice and syrupy and give honest, heart-felt greetings, you can. But, there are two opportunities for that: there’s a Christmas Eve post tonight (“A Visit from St. Nicholas”) and a Christmas morning post (Luke 2:1-14). Those are already scheduled to appear, at 6:00 PM and 6:00 AM, respectively. But, if you can’t wait until then, go ahead here.
Give the gift of … well, whatever it is you call it.
I would like to share a Christmas e-card. I know this card has been around for a long time, and you may have seen it…but I still like it now just as much as I did the first time I saw it. Merry Christmas everyone. http://www.jacquielawson.com/viewcard.asp?code=0212320003
I’d like to give Joe Biden on of those Borg head set things, like the one Picard got, to start the robot Joe Biden Army. It would be shiney and blinky and he would me smitten with it and totally put it on.
I thank every veteran who ever spent Christmastime away from home fighting and dying in Virginia, Belgium, eastern Pennsylvania, Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan, and a bunch of other places across the world.
A gift for President Obama? What do you give the man that’s already ruined everything?
Frank doesn’t deserve a pecan pie because he doesn’t like walnuts!!!11!!
Merry Christmas, IMAO gang – I hope you all get tuna for Christmas!
Walnuts are gross.
Marko, just for that, may you get COAL for Christmas!
And may DamnCat swim in Tuna.
And Son of Bob, get Obama a broken tool. And pour yourself a tall one.
For Critter, all the small critters you can eat.
And for zzyzx, some brand new vowels for Christmas.
No one else is here to wish presents to, so that’s it. Merry Christmas to all and to all… a good…
WALNUTS!!!11!!
oh, gift ideas? I just bought frank’s book. quite outstanding…
and by “bought frank’s book,” I really meant “bought for myself and eight other people.”
so cheers!!!!
