My Christmas Greeting
 

Please accept with no obligation, implied or implicit, our best wishes for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low stress, non-addictive, gender neutral celebration of the winter solstice holiday, practiced within the most enjoyable traditions of the religious persuasion of your choice, or secular practices of your choice, with respect for the religious/secular persuasions and/or traditions of others, or their choice not to practice religious or secular traditions at all.

And a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling, and medically uncomplicated recognition of the onset of the generally accepted calendar year 2009, but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of other cultures whose contributions to society have helped make America great (not to imply that America is necessarily greater than any other country or is the only "AMERICA" in the Western Hemisphere), and without regard to the race, creed, color, age, physical ability, religious faith, choice of computer platform, or sexual preference of the wishee.

(By accepting this greeting, you are accepting these terms. This greeting is subject to clarification or withdrawal. It is freely transferable with no alteration to the original greeting. It implies no promise by the wisher to actually implement any of the wishes for her/himself or others, and is void where prohibited by law, and is revocable at the sole discretion of the wisher. This wish is warranted to perform as expected within the usual application of good tidings for a period of one year, or until the issuance of a subsequent holiday greeting, whichever comes first, and warranty is limited to replacement of this wish or issuance of a new wish at the sole discretion of the wisher.

This is just going too far, :mad:

It's PC gone mad

And a Blessed Yule Season to you all :angel:

40 acres and a YULE?

That was the agreement, yes. Forty acres and a yule. I couldn't see why you people were so intent, keen even, on getting that damn yule, but, now you have it. It's yours. Clear off, now. Clear off! Little Amaryllis and I will just find some way to survive, now Master's left us for that Ms. Spears woman-whoever she was...Amaryllis and I will be FINE! Yuh heah?! Fine... ...*sob/sob/sob/HEAVE/sob/sob/sob...*

loma! (Laughing off my ass)

Wow.... Happy Yule y'all. -shakes head and wonders who cracked out the spiked egg nog already-

I wish the moderators would get off their asses and approve the newest member ( my ghost) there is a very touching and poignant post up there somewhere.....

Have I mentioned that this system of 1st post moderation puts a serious kink in the comedic timing of situationally created sockpuppets? I have? Oh. OK.

In the spirit of the season, I just ripped off your PC Greeting Sarge! :D

(very well written... thanks!) :ipray:

Sarge, in giving you credit, cough up a better name for attaching when quoting you please.

Something that displays the deep thinker side of you. :blunt:

No matter - Merry Christmas to you and yours, Sarge.

Nope, I can't claim credit. I ripped it off another forum I frequent

Dunno, but the last time i created one, i saw UT was online so i loggesd out and back in as me and I begged and pleaded with him to give her priority treatment. and he did (bless him) but then I couldn't get the password to work and the moment was lost....

*sigh*

it's way too late for what I posted at 11 am to be funny at this point. fucking spammers have ruined it for the rest of us. this is worse than the Patriot act.

you bastard, my spammer perished on 9/11.....

sigh......

you bugfucker, my bastard was killed......oh nevermind

Merry Christmas Sarge, sorry I forgot earlier. :rolleyes: :cool:

THANK YOU!

gah!

Merry Happy, Sarge. :thumb:

Gustav Lumberjjim?
I think my Grandad met him in the War.

Heh, I was going to create "Labrat's ghost" to post in the scorched goove thread in respose to my oh so caring and sensitive husband...but didn't want to bother with waiting. In this case, it was effective in a brady bill sort of way.

For the record, I responded in a humourous way (well, barely) because it was intended as a funny thread. But I'd like to use this thread to give thanks to my parents (yes, I have thanked them personally) for their support of the British military.

A while back, when I was still earning money, Bruce posted a video or linked a blog re how military overseas really appreciated the things they received in care packages. They were such silly things - toothbrushes, indigestion tablets, lipbalm, travel sweets, tissues, disposable razors. Crikey me. Such mingy things!

So every time I went to Sainsbury's I picked up a few things. If it was Buy One Get One Free on toothbrushes I'd pick up two. If it was 3 For the Price of 2 on shower gel I'd get three. Not much added to the weekly shop, but hopefully a lot to the receivers.

When I came back here I had a bit of a stockpile. I'd been sending them from work you see - the nearest agaent was in Woolwich (not far). Despite the fact that work knew what I was doing and knew why the things were there, they chose to send them to the house in Canning Town with my personal belongings, so I had to bring them back to Aylesbury in my Dad's car.

Anyway - my parents were wonderful and took them to the local TA (Territorial Army) base in order that they could reach the intended recipients. It's only across town, but as some people have identified, I don't always give charity where it's most needed. My parents could easily have taken the noodles, lip balm, men's shower gel, deodorant etc etc. That they didn't, shows me who I learned from, however misguided.
