See, what I've begun doing is if someone gets all bent out of shape about Happy Holidays, I ask them if New Year's Day is a holiday... because what I am saying is happy whatever holiday you celebrate + New Year's. They shut up pretty fast after that.
I need to use that too. I've noticed people seem to throw out the Marry Christmas as if it is a political statement. It feels like they're trying to let it be know what they stand for. When it really doesnt matter if it is Holiday Day or Xmass

I read about some dude who went apeshit at the Illinois capitol the other day because there was an atheist sign near the Christmas tree in the lobby and he tried to remove it.
But somehow the fact that their was a Festivus pole down there too didn't bother him (it was mentioned in the very last paragraph of the story).
Anon: I have no idea what you're talking about. What list? I get the feeling this comment was supposed to be a spam thing, but it didnt turn out that way.
MC: Just read one of the news items on this story. My biggest problem with these activists types is "Wouldn't they feel the same way if an atheist ripped a religious sign from a capital building?" What gives these people the right to remove a sign? And, wouldn't they cry foul if someone did it to them?
Shannon Fill: Where is she now? SF has been reviewing TNG seasons o ver at his blog. And, the episode Lower Decks came up. I recently watched Lower Decks on Net-flicks and found myself amazed with the performance from the young and lovely Shannon Fill , who played the character Ensign Sito Jaxa. Jaxa showed up in two episodes of TNG, actually they were two important episodes. There was a nice arc to her character too. Her character was killed off in Lower Decks , but there were plans to bring her back for an episode of DS9. From Memory Alpha , ((One story considered by the writing staff concerned the return of Sito Jaxa from TNG : " Lower Decks ". The pitch had Sito being imprisoned under inhumane conditions and suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder. Robert Hewitt Wolfe developed the story for some time. Feeling that there was insufficient explanation of Sito's condition, he had Sito killing her cellmate, whom she'd become cl...
I don't like this movie, but this character and all his scenes are freaking funny. He sums up The Rock between 2005 and 2020. Dewayne Johnson helped make the FF franchise better, but you have to make fun of him, too. He comes in as if he's in another movie. I love the baby oil on the arms joke. It gets even creepier now due to P Diddy loving baby oil. This guy is named Dio Johnson ! He has the same last name as Dwayne Johnson, the person he is making fun of. And, his character name in this movie is Detective Johnson. Triple meta. I checked, and Dio and Dwayne are not related. They just look similar.
So, this chase involves a cat, two methheads, a college student, a ride-along, and carjacking. This is freaking nuts. They live in their car, their home, and proceed to destroy it in the chase. It looks like the driver has been in numerous car chases, the way he blocks and boxes out the cops to stop the pit maneuvers. Later in the chase, they both start throwing shit out the window and then begin to smoke meth during the chase. Priorities, right? The couple of cops get spiked, and they end up in a different jurisdiction. The chase is called off, but the couple then carjacks a Karen, and the chase is on again. By the way, this video has over 4 million views.
