Cass: I am dolt. A dolt who has three cell phones in my purse (oldold, old and crushed by car, and new) so it was really inevitable.

Aimée: MM had to hide one of Emeline's Christmas packages from me cause I almost opened it.
We don't know what family member it's from, but I want to OPEN IT NOW.
It's from American Girl.
ita: Aimée! Set a good example!
Topic!Cindy: Yes, open it, to ensure her safety, and then re-wrap it, like any good mother would.
Steph, in Natter:
A few years ago, a friend and I were out drinking downtown about a week before Christmas. As we were walking to the car, we saw a Santa with a traditional red bag of goodies, ambling down the street, followed by a pack of people making merry.
We saw him handing out stuff from his bag, so my friend and I decided we wanted stuff, and ran over to where he was. (Truthfully, I was expecting red and green condoms, or something similar.) Santa was a little drunk -- or a lot -- but reached into his bag and gave us each a handful of Hershey's Kisses.
Then Santa and his band of merry-makers continued on down the street, wandering past a gay restaurant with a big plate-glass window in the front. He stopped, and we could hear him asking his band of merry-makers "This is a gay restaurant, right? They like other guys?" Upon getting confirmation, Santa proceeded to do an impressively obscene dance right up against the front window.
My friend and I couldn't even walk, we were laughing so hard.
Jilli in Natter: One of my favorite childhood games was yanking Barbie's head off, hiding it around the house, and seeing how long it took one of my parents to find it.

I spent much of my evening wrapping little people in bubble wrap and stuffing them into boxes. And suddenly I feel like this post belongs in Minearverse.

Jessica: You know, last night I was feeling appreciative of Brokeback Mountain, but I didn't love it. This morning, I kind of love it. It's really sticking with me much more than I expected it to.
ita: OMG, you're catching teh gay! This is exactly how it happens!

The latest Kara update from her mother.
Deena: Kara was given a card by one of her classmates. It's a fairly typical nativity scene. She explained the picture to me.
I was born in heaven. See? This baby with all the light around it is me and there's an angel holding me. And this guy over here, that's Jesus looking at me, and this guy.... I think this guy is Tarzan. Is Tarzan in heaven?

I thought California invented therapy!!!

Nah, Vienna invented therapy. Then they sold the film rights to California.

JZ: I would tell 2005 to kiss my ass, but 2005 is unworthy of my ass. 2005 can go kiss Tom Delay's indicted ass, is what it can kiss.
