Unwanted Commentary

You will find that you must register to comment now. This really isn’t a big issue to all of you who will not read this, but just in case you’ve come back to check on the place you may or may not notice the change. The junk comments were simply overwhelming, and as my traffic is now gone I don’t see the point of allowing free commenting. This is all under the auspice that I “think” I’ve turned off the open commenting. I checked boxes and rebuilt indexes, so I think that gets the job done. We’ll see.

Don't forget, my Yanqui readers, the true meaning of Thanksgiving:
give your neighbours an infected blanket this Thursday and then move into their houses after they're dead.

I was wrong, but this should do it.

I would say that the following is not safe for work, but really it isn't safe for any place, person or thing...

This should pretty much destroy your chances of having a good weekend:

Pony the Orangutang

I just sets the tone for mine, since I'm working all of it...12-14 hr each day. *sad*

Men may be intrigued to hear that researchers have pinpointed a gene that makes females suck up sperm through their mouths.

You know...sometimes you are presented with such a target rich environment that your just paralyzed. Sometimes it's best to let these things speak for themselves...comedically speaking.

I'm not sure comedically is a word, but I don't care. Don't care at all.

I found this via my Snopes RSS feed:

In an effort to avoid the use of the term "Christmas tree," Lowe's has renamed their Christmas trees and are now calling them "Family trees."
In their Holiday 2007 catalog, containing 56 pages of Christmas gifts, Lowe's advertises hundreds of gift items, including scores of "Family trees." In fact, the word "Christmas" only appears two times in the entire holiday catalog. The ads mentioning "Christmas cover only 12 square inches of the 5236 square inches available.
Lowe's even has one of their Family trees turned upside down on a stand. We are not sure what the significance of that is.
Lowe's evidently did not want to offend any non-Christians, therefore they replaced "Christmas tree" with "Family tree." Of course, if Christians are offended that is evidently ok.
An on-line search of Lowe's does reference some "Christmas" items. In fact, a word search of their Web site gives the exact same number 174 of the word "Christmas" as it does the word "holiday." Most of the items mentioning Christmas appear to use the promotional line given by the manufacturer.
Their Holiday 2007 catalog features scores of products, including lights, wreaths, trees, and yard decorations. Most people would associate these items with Christmas, but not Lowe's! Except for two obscure references, they refer to everything in their catalog as "holiday."

According to Snopes it is true. I hope you are offended.

What I find most amusing is the allusion to Christians being offended that Lowes is advertising Christmas Trees as Family Trees....*cough*...cuz, um....yeah.
I am hurt that no one takes into account how the Druids felt when they started calling them Christmas Trees.

Is it wrong to capitalize Christmas and Tree. I don't know, but it feels good so I'm going to go with it.
