You know, in perusing these translations, I'm struck by how many languages have no translation for the phrase...either because they are emperialized or because they don't celebrate the holiday...because it is a predominately caucasian, western (dare I say English?) phenomenon. I know it is negative to imply that christmas is just another attempt to globalize western culture, but we're so ready to demonize those who would denouce our precious, final, year-end materialistic ejaculatory extravaganza that it is a ripe tool. It is SOOOO white the blacks in this country decided to make up Kwanzaa just so they could have something that feels like it is theirs.
Anyway.
Happy Jesus Day.
Here's to all of you that don't have to deal with this bastardized, commercialized perversion of "peace on earth and good will towards men".

you are so not cool.  (yeah yeah, my stance against smileys has worn off)
Now I do as I please and lie through my teeth. Someone might get hurt but it won't be me. I should probably feel cheap but I just feel free and a little bit empty. No it isn't so hard to get close to me. There will be no arguments. We will always agree. And I will try and be kind when I ask you to leave. We will both take it easy. But if you stay too long inside my memory, I will trap you in a song tied to a melody and I will keep you there so you can't bother me. |

I think I registered Cheeseman ages ago then forgot the password.
Do you remember ages ago some guy came along and asked some of us to sign up on his forum to mess with the minds of the other posters? (Apl was there, I think she was Paola Rhoid, heheh). They all liked my name, apparently it was cool with the whole Andre3000 thing.
Thats cool, he's cool. I'm cool.
