I was just telling someone how mac is confused by the 12-days song and then his 24 day advent calendar and why they don't match.
Well some friends of Buffy played a funny joke and they took her stuff and now she wants us to help get it back from her friends who sleep all day and have no tans.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Funny, but it still kind of bugs me that they seem to think the 12 days of Christmas is a countdown to Christmas.
That bugs me in general.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Bwah! Awesome.
And happy anniversary!
People that smell like food are weird to me. But then, I don't smell like anything really. I used to, but, lazy.

Of course, I may only keep things like Epiphany and Candlemas straight because the French have made food holidays out of them.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Also, the Immaculate Conception doesn't refer to Jesus.

My favorite part of that is that before they decided it was immaculate, people used to celebrate the conception. I bet they had fun party games.

Okay, this is a question perhaps better suited to Literary or GWW, but I figured in Natter I'll get a pretty good representation. I've got the story I'm working on, set in the sixties, and I've got an enormously wealthy family as a player. (We're talking mid-sixties equivalent of Bill Gates wealthy or The Donald.)
So do we think that in the mid-sixties, any member of this family would have opted to travel First Class or would they have eschewed the unwashed masses altogether and had their own private jet?

Right. Everyone knows that's the impossible pass that Franco Harris managed to catch.
