Saw a sticker on an old beat up truck today. It said fuck Biden and fuck all you fuckers who voted for him. Not the most Chrismasy message but still funny.

Time for one last Xmas movie for the year - National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. I suggested Home Alone, but that was a too recent view (we always watch George C Scott's Christmas Carol, the Grinch, and Charlie Brown and my spouse always watches the Christmas Story and then we try to add an old favorite, and this one won this year's vote)...

I did some research on that whole synced Christmas light thing several years back, and LED technology has come a long way since then. The amount of work (and monetary outlay) is insane. There's a few homes in the area that even do the FM station thing for cars parked outside.
I hate my neighbors, but not quite that much. That would be awesome to do though. Posted by: clutch cargo - processed in a facility that may contain lead at December 24, 2021 07:49 PM (wAnMi) 39

Worked, came home, ate, watched Charlie Brown, Opus and Bill the Cat, and now just listening to a Christmas CD. Going to bed soon. Work again tomorrow. That Opus and Bill the Cat Christmas special (A Wish for Wings that Work) is odd but cute. Came out in the early 90s I think. Probably can still find it on Amazon.

Launch of NASA's James Webb Space Telescope is scheduled for tomorrow morning, 7:20 AM ET. It will launch on a European Ariane 5 rocket, from the main European launch site in French Guiana, on the north east coast of South America. (Where the Devil's Island prison was.) Within a month, Webb will arrive in orbit around the Sun-Earth L2 Lagrange point, a gravitationally-stable location nearly a million miles (1.5 million kilometers) from Earth. Webb's cost is $8.8 Billion.

On my way home from work tonight my neighbor called me and said' Well, I, umm, smoked some more of those pork short ribs. Do you want some?'
I said 'I sure do but I'm 5 minutes from home'. He met me in the driveway with about 5 pounds of slow-smoked ribs. I told him 'hang on for a minute, got something for you.' Ran in and got his Makers Mark. What a great surprise! Mrs. E told me to expect hotdogs for supper and my neighbor knocked one out of the park. Texas and Liberty!

We just lost a wonderful old guy, a 26 year old half-Gelderlander paint who was Mrs. Splunge's constant and reliable companion for 16 years. He colicked, and bran mash, and then a vet visit to load him up with mineral oil, were to no avail.
He was a great horse, and lived a long and worthy life. The end was mercifully quick. We will remember him. Posted by: Splunge at December 24, 2021 08:14 PM (PQ4Fz) Posted by: Weasel at December 24, 2021 08:14 PM (fI9Es) 125

Well, we had a very nice service of lessons and carols. We had more people than last year and we doubled our regular attendance.

Something I've always wondered:
"The Night Before Christmas" refers to Santa as a "jolly old elf", but he's clearly human in every depiction I've seen. No pointy ears, etc. So I guess maybe he's like a trans-elf or something? I'm not judging, just curious. Posted by: Rodrigo Borgia at December 24, 2021 09:20 PM (bW8dp) 287

Demon possesses one member of a family, kills them all, then sends a trophy leg to the next family of victims. My bet on the next one to be possessed: the Old Man.

From the sidebar: I would note that police will more likely simply allow resisting/felling violent criminals to run free, because that's what the jury has told the police they demand. When a violent perp resists or runs, let him go to kill citizens. Otherwise, we'll throw you in jail.
The citizenry will suffer the consequences of their policy choice. The going for guns first instead of tasers happened in this tragic case yesterday. Some asshole was attacking people with a bike lock in a Los Angeles department store. He was beating up some woman when officers fired on him. One bullet missed its target, went through wall, struck and killed 14-year old girl on other side who was trying on dresses. https://bit.ly/3sztJEW Posted by: Clyde Shelton at December 24, 2021 09:29 PM (Do5/p) 313

I noticed that Biden's defenders on Twitter are all saying "Oh, Our President is so ABOVE it all that he can say, 'Let's go, Brandon!' with a chuckle." As if Joe knew what he was saying.

Merry Christmas Ace, COBs, Horde-on's, and Horde-ettes!
Just made the George Washington (alcoholic) egg nog ... holy crap, they were right about it putting hair on your chest. Just 1/2 of a glass in, and I'm already gettin' a little buzzy. Wifey? Not so much ... in my defense, had to cover for somebody and work an insane week -- driving 14+ hours and around 700 miles/day, while operating on about half-sleep. Exhausted ... I think I've found the cure for Ace's insomnia. Posted by: ShainS -- Beware the Branch Covidians at December 24, 2021 09:43 PM (oXIiU) 363

I've sent an obit and photos to MH, with hopes that he can insert them into his draft for the Pet Thread. Suffice to say though, that I doubt I'll be much festive through Christmas Day. That, and I've gotta work tomorrow, too.
Posted by: Jim at December 24, 2021 09:38 PM Right after I read this on my desktop computer, I got an e-mail notification on my cell phone. Some e-mail from Reddit (which I don't remember signing up for) and the subject is, I shit you not: "Please call my work and tell them I'm in ER, because my cat dying isn't a valid reason to not come in today."

>>If that were the case, Twitter would have allowed "Let's Go Brandon" to trend.
AP: In a bid to protect the President from ridicule by racist troglodytes, incomprehensible phrases have been declared 'terrorist catchphrases." Examples of such phrases include 'apple sandwich,' 'the manufacturing, wait, also, a giggety,' and 'what I'm trying to say is that I'm trying to say.'" Such phrases are not-information and will be deleted from the public record. Posted by: ZOD at December 24, 2021 09:47 PM (M3Z2J) 378

The going for guns first instead of tasers happened in this tragic case yesterday. Some asshole was attacking people with a bike lock in a Los Angeles department store. He was beating up some woman when officers fired on him. One bullet missed its target, went through wall, struck and killed 14-year old girl on other side who was trying on dresses.
----- WTAF? Shouldn't officers be using hollow points (it's the reason we do, especially in home self-defense) to prevent wall penetration like this (assuming this wasn't hollow point ammo that DID penetrate the wall)?

I visited Mom this afternoon/evening. We're Catholics, but her new hospital does not have EWTN. So Dad had the TV tuned to TBN - "the next best thing" Dad said. I beg to differ. Today, the History Channel literally had more religious content - with shows about King Saul and young David, Daniel in the lion's den, and Mary and Joseph - than TBN, which had a bunch of dancers singing, "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree".
