Piss me off wil you?

[Stella_Omega]

Well this evening I get home and the lights are sparkling as they are supposed to be.

I step out of my car and take a look at the lights for a bit before heading inside. The Jewish delegation were waiting for me. The head of this small group asks me where the Jewish Display is. My reply to him is as friendly as it was to the Christian. I quietly tell him he can display whatever he want's on his lot and I will defend that, but I will be damned if he will tell me what to display on my lot. He doesn't like this. (Especialy as he hasn't put up any display on his lot.)

I love the holidays. Peace on earth indeed, as long as you believe in what others believe in.

ORLY?

I'm feeling mighty skeptical about this. Hanukkah started on Dec first this year-- and ended on the ninth.

 

[MagicaPractica]

I wish we'd encourage diversity more, sometimes, instead of holding it back, you know?

Agreed.

Aye it did didn't it? And believe it or not I didn't have anything out on my yard for it.

(And the church down the street still has a lit Menorah on their lawn.)

It was jokingly aimed you. BTW, I'll be stopping by at Ramadan to inspect your lot. I'd better see something awesomely Islamic.

Hmmmmm, any idea what they would put up as decorations? I have never heard of any specific decorations for Ramadan.

Anyone have any idea where I can find tiny little Santa Hats? I'm talking about four inches across the bottom. I want them for my Pink Flamingo's.

Good God.
Where's the pleasure of this time of year ?

I saw some at Party City, red sparkles-- just the thing for a Flamingo!

Party City? I'll have to check and see if we have any of them around here.

I've checked in most of the local Craft Stores and get blank looks when I ask.

Oh and yes I know the cliche about having Pink Flamingo's in ones yard in a Mobile Home park. Why do you think I have them?

Thanks,

Cat

Pink flamingos in the yard is the least offensive of all trailer park cliches.

These dumbshit neighbors of yours... Now we're talking some cliche. Funny, but dayum!

 

[Handley_Page]

Have you considered a representation of Cthulu or similar?
Or one of the gods from Terry Pratchett multi-headed pantheon ?

Or better yet; a Pig.
For Hogfather.

"One of your pigs did a wee!"

"yes, they do that."

Have you seen the BBC version? Stupid question; of course you have!

I find your notion of Ramadan decorations to be blasphemous. The Qu'ran expressly forbids graven images. This prohibition is so strict that there is not even a symbol for Islam.

BTW, December 5th was the Bavarian holiday Krampusnacht and I'm quite certain you didn't dress up as a demon and spank women and children with a switch. Your seasonal transgressions are mounting.

Craft shops should be stocked up on red felt and white faux-fur and I'm pretty sure you've mentioned having a hot-glue gun. Santa hats aren't complex structures, you know.

DAMMIT! MISSED MY CHANCE!

I guess I need a spanking now.

(I do not believe that a "Jewish delegation" actually talked to cat, BTW-- Four days after the end of Hanukkah and five days after he'd put up his snowflakes?

Unlike fundamental Xtians, the Jewish culture tends to prize and encourage intelligence and the pursuit of knowledge- even the strictest sects, and even the poorest families. I say this as a disinterested atheist. )

 

[glynndah]

If you can't find Santa hats for your flamingos, you might want to consider little red Christmas stockings. Turned upside down they'd probably be just the right side for the heads of your bright pink yard birds.

I would think most religious fundies would discourage intelligence and the pursuit of knowledge. Once people start thinking for themselves, they might decide the priests or pastors or other clerics have been lying in order to create soft lives for themslves. Religious doctrine, at least what I am familiar with, tends to be lacking in logic.

That assumes Cat's "Jewish Delegation" was either Jewish or Fundamentalist -- people who don't decorate yet demand others' decorations conform to some pantheistic principle of ecumenisn are likey neither -- just as baphemet(sp) is trollingthis thread with demands to celebrate every off-the-wall holiday the internet can turn up without regard to what the proper observance of such holidays would entail.

I thik Cat was putting us on about the Jewish delegation and I think baphemitis is also putting us on.

Subtle reasoning, Box? What are you drinking, I want some too!

 

[SeaCat]

Think what you will folks. I live in the lovely state of Florida where fighting for religion is second only to fighting for ones rights as a Condo Commando.

Until you live here you have no idea about the insanity, the craziness or the fun and games.

Where else in this nation can you find a beach named after a dedicated nudist where thongs are outlawed? (MacArthur State Park.)

Where else can you find a town mayor going to Haiti and telling people to come to his town even if they are illegal? (Reverend Tom Masters of riviera Beach.)

Where else do you have a convicted Felon caught with ammunition in his luggage telling the world the T.S.A. is doing a good job?

Where else do you have a black minority leader coming to your state and saying some kids having sex with a young lady on a canal bank is worse than six kids raping a mother and her son at gun point?

Where else in the United States can you walk around wearing nothing but skin paint, but wearing a thing will get you cited for Indecent Exposure?

Where else in the United States can a well known radio host get busted for what he has yapped about long and hard on his radio show, and he goes free? (Rush)

Well, Duh!!!

Somebody is putting somebody on, and baphemitis is clearly a prime candidate for the less-than-serious award. Whether Cat or the "Jewish Delegation" is the other contender, doesn'treally matter.

It wouldn't surprise me to find the "Jewish Delegation" was real, and not really Jewish -- nor would finding Cat putting us on.

Well you've convinced me-- if there are really stupid Jews-- we'll find them in the trailer parks of Florida.

Which reminds me Harold, I've been meaning to talk to you about your failure to properly honor Guy Fawkes Day. I'll let it slide this time around, but next year, you'd better blow up a government building or a lot of people will be offended.

 

[DeeZire]

Here's an idea for you Cat. Every year I mount a reindog on top of my roof above the front porch. He's a life-size plaster-cast dalmation (lawn ornament, I presume) with a red light baling-wired to his nose and plywood reindeer antlers fastened to his head with those small bungee cords. I put floodlights on each side, hidden behind the roof parapet, so that he glows as if he's basking in some sort of angelic light. My neighbors across the street are Bush-loving church goers, and yet, if I'm late putting up my reindog they ask me, with a pitiful pleading look on their faces "are you putting up your dog this year?" My reindog has become a neighborhood tradition.

The other day, I was on the top rung of a 2-section aluminum ladder which was standing on top of the cab of my pickup truck so that I could trim a couple of branches off my tree. They were blocking my reindog's view of the sunset. Talk about dedication! I'm hoping I get a tree trimming pole saw for Christmas this year, so I never, ever have to do that again!
