I didn't think it was possible, but Super Milk Chan (a Japanese cartoon on Adult Swim) has gotten even weirder. Plus tonight's episode is satirizing the US military.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I dunno. Is "Merry Christmas" automatically presuming Christianity? Christmas seems the big nationwide party in the U.S. I take "Merry Christmas" as "enjoy the party!" not "Hola fellow Christian!".
I guess it is for you. For me, Christmas is like Hanukkah, and I wouldn't wish a Christian Happy Hanukkah any more than I'd wish a Jewish person Merry Christmas.
They're different parties.
Yule? Solstice? Different parties.

To someone who is non-Christian, yes it is. I talked to a friend just about this because she was saying how offended she was by the assumption of christianity (which she is not) based on people wishing her a merry christmas.
ita, there was coco bread? now am sad.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
It's still the 26th here!
Happy Birthday to Jesse, Theodosia, and Rayne.
Today was a very long day, but a very good one. I have cool friends and pretty new clothes.

It's kind of weird in that my parents are about the only actual Christians at my family's big Christmas gathering - I'm not technically a believer and most of the rest of our family that's there is Jewish. Any excuse to get everyone together to eat and exchange presents, though. We've pretty much just bought into the whole commercialized celebration of family togetherness thing.
Thinking about it, it's kind of as if that Norman Rockwell Thanksgiving painting had an empty place setting at the table for Elijah.

I'm the only non-Christian in my family. My parents don't know this, as from their point of view, not being a Christian (and ending up in Hell) is the worst thing that could happen to anyone, and I don't want to put them through that.

Yeah, I'm not telling my folks I'm an atheist. It would break their hearts.

Heh. My mom asked me this year if I believed in God. I truthfully said yes, but it's not my fault if her mental image of God as a Ted Nugent-esque guy in white robes feeding the masses isn't what I mean when I say the word.
