gotta go, everyone, but thanks for letting me argue here..... that way i'll be all grumped out when the ol' lady gets home and instead of griping about who knows what with her, i can put the moves on her and score some sweet tang! BOOYAH
here's a better idea... take them on a field trip to a poor american neighborhood (in america??? can't be!) where the kids don't properly celebrate christmas because they're parents have enough trouble feeding and clothing them much less buying video game guitars and punching other shoppers for...
yes, but only in a VW cross country with terrance mann with a couple of stops at baseball games and trips in time to meet dead people. "peace, love, dope!"
pagan religion, guy. saturnella is a sun GOD, his rebirth... i.e. the days getting longer is the celebration that constantine mixed with christianity as it's influence in his lands became substantial. christmas is one big compromise of religious beliefs.... and if you believe in God (the god...
