ARGH. Am trying to book Christmas tickets, but every time I click on a fare on Travelocity, the stupid thing comes back, "Oh, actually that one isn't available anymore, now it's (DOUBLE WHAT THAT FARE WAS)"...I don't want to spend $500 to get home, but I SURE as heck don't want to spend $1000 to get home!!!
...I'm starting to get really tempted to tell my parents that I will come visit them in January or something. Which would be awful of me, because Christmas is the only time I ever come home. But seriously, these prices are ridiculous.
Am I right in thinking "prodigal" is often used to mean long-lost-but-now-returning and not spendthrift?
I'm sure it doesn't help to answer the original question, but in Hebrew, it is.
Hey! You're right in Hebrew!
Oh, and ita, I'm sorry you had such an icky night.
Order of St. Nick's Alternative Holiday Greeting Cards
My favorite?
Outside:
The Good News: Santa Claus is real, boys and girls!

I want to hear KRM's take.
Is the headline sufficient?
Vicar went to hospital with potato stuck in bottom
Nah, I gotta include this too:
A vicar attended hospital with a potato stuck up his bottom - and claimed it got there after he fell on to the vegetable while naked.

Ha! I knew an ER nurse in SF and she extracted all kinds of stuff from people's bottoms, and they would occasionally try that excuse.
It is the ER equivalent of "I left my computer logged on and somebody typed those comments under my name" of excuses.
Once again, I envy the SF-ites....

I think it's the fact that he claimed to be hanging curtains at the time that really makes it for me. Because, really, what says "really not even remotely at all playing sex games" like flaunting it in front of the windows?
