where's Santa ?

[Handley_Page]

Purely for a little quick fun,
When I looked a few moments ago (20:00 GMT), Santa was approaching Riga, in central Europe.

For those who have yet to experience this enjoyable idiocy, look up NORAD, who seem to do a good job up there. Take a look HERE.

NORAD isn't up there...it's in Colorado Springs, Colorado in Cheyenne Mountain Complex. However, all the satellites and radars are up there, in the cold of outer space and the icy wastes of northern Canada.

All of Santa's travels are coordinated at NORAD Central in the mountain.

If any of you have ever watched Stargate SG1 you have seen the entrance to the mountain complex. And no, there are not a million levels below ground.

As I write this, he's over southern Norway.

Cool. Thanks, didn't know that, always assumed it was in Canada.

Unless something awaits at the post office, we have one package apiece under the tree. We won't wait for Satan Claws and his vampire reindeer to arrive. But at least today is slightly longer than yesterday. Solstice: the gift that keeps on giving.

It's amazing what nonsense so many good minds spend their time creating on the Internet.

But it is kinda fun.

Wouldn’t it be cheaper for the government just to track Santa with GPS? Last year I found him with the find my phone feature on my iPhone. That wasn’t quite as funny to my kids as using peppermint in a mouse trap to catch one of his elves walking on the fireplace to stuff the stockings Kant.

Satan Claws must materialize in a billion or more chimneys / stove pipes / heater vents nearly simultaneously. How much CPU time is needed to track a transponder moving at near light-speed?

Satan Claws stole your iPhone? The fiend!

They should mix crack with the peppermint. Elves can't resist.

Wouldn't it be cheaper if they just did what they're fucking supposed to be doing instead of wasting time on stupid make believe bullshit?

The tracking is supposedly pre-funded and volunteer-staffed. At least they're not doing Grampus. If they ever do Easter bunnies, watch out!

 

[jaF0]

It's make believe. There is nothing to track.

Here's where 'Santa' is for all those whiney, greedy, snot nosed little diaper fillers. They're all hanging out getting sloshed after you crapping on their laps for the last few weeks.

No government funds needed.

Are you the principle Reader responsible for all those 1-bombs we keep reading about?
Apart from the sheer amusement (for most of us), a kid could get to understand something of Geography, thanks to the efforts of the volunteers in Cheyenne Mountain.

This morning, the Washington Post published the story of how NORAD came to track Santa. Here it is.

Thank You

It's twisted, I know, but my first thought when I heard that NORAD was tracking Santa was "Do they want to shoot him down?"

Trump to Santa: "You're fired!"

Better to be fired than to be fired upon.

I read that 83% of 5-year-old USA kids believe in Santa -- because 85% of USA parents feed their kids the Santa story. Your folks tell you shit; you believe; then you find they've been lying to you. So much for respecting your elders.

Satan Claws has come and gone. Hail Satan Claws!

"Holy fuck Batman, there sure are a lot of bah humbuggers here for Christmas."

POW

"That Robin was for the bad word you used. And yes some adults just try to ruin things of the rest of us, no matter how happy we seem to be. Now, go wash your mouth out with soap. Not that nambie-pambie hand soap, but that special bar of lye soap I got you for Christmas last year."
