About Me
- superdave524
- I was born in Montana, raised in Tampa, and reside in a small town in the lowcountry of South Carolina with the Lovely Lady Di, and son Tyler. Walterboro (the 'Boro) has about 5,100 residents. It's a moderately interesting place. I work in the public defender's office representing poor people charged with crimes. Some of them did it. Some of them didn't do it. Some are not very nice, a lot of them are just regular Joes with a huge plate of bad luck. I'm a moderately interesting fellow, who has the good fortune to know or be related to some very interesting people. Is there anyone out there?

Quick question: Since that diorama has pretty much everything else in it...um, where's the actual Baby Jesus?
Ah well, they tried, God bless 'em.
Merry Fifth Day!
merry christmas, john.
PS: i read somewhere that they are putting GPS devices in nativity scenes so they can track 'em when people steal 'em.
tidings of joy and big brother!
I had another angle that showed the baby Jesus, but not so good of Frosty. You gotta have Frosty, QJ. Okay, maybe I shoulda gone with the Baby Jesus.
Col, one of the lines from "More One Minute Nonsense" has a dude confessing that he stole a Bible "Because of my religious disposition". Gotta figure stealing Jesus, Mary and Joseph gets you some special ring of Hell...
Frosty's birthday is sometime in January, I think. but then I'm not a religious scholar.
I thought Frosty and Santa with Jesus was funny, John. I'm not sure about Frosty's birthday. The multifarious yard invasion caught my eye because I thought it was absurd, but one of my favorite authors, C.S. Lewis, didn't have any qualms about putting Father Christmas with God/Jesus/Lion Aslan in "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe", or about putting King Arthur with a Jesus figure in "That Hideous Strength" (J.R.R. Tolkien, a collegue and friend of Lewis at Cambridge (and Oxford, I think. Lewis taught at both)used to chide Lewis about mixing his mythical creatures. Anyway, that dude in Florida didn't have a problem with it either.
Happy belated birthday, Dave!
And I wish it was May.
I don't get it.
Chase, I think John was commenting on my choice to feature Frosty over the actual birthday boy. I was sorta kinda trying to show that Jesus was lost in the shuffle, which I think is what John was commenting about- it not being Frosty's birthday and all. My birthday's in May, so, sadly, it idint my b'day; John's a Virgo, so his would be in August or September (like AndyMan's). Just looking to the next big thing. Then again, nothing actually needs to make sense, to make sense.
I believe I deserve some royalties for the NBT reference...
Good job interpreting my comments, Dave. I didn't know WTF it meant either (when I reread it today).
NBT, Star?
John, while I don't always agree with you, you generally make sense.
Easter Bunny couldn't make it, he was nailed to a cross.
Reminds me of a joke, Ange:
Three Gator fans die and are at the Pearly Gates of Heaven in front of St. Peter. St. Pete tells them. "Simple test to see if you understand faith before I can let you in. Mr. Smith, tell me about Christmas?"
"Sure. Christmas is when the big rabbit brings colored eggs to the kids".
"No, that's wrong. Mr. Jones, tell me about Lent?"
"No problem. Lent is when the fat guy in the red suit brings presents to the kids".
"That's also wrong", says St. Pete. "Mr. Doe, tell me about the resurrection?"
Mr. Doe pauses, then begins slowly. "The resurrection is when they took the Christ, and nailed him to a cross and left him to die. They put him in the cave and rolled a big rock in front of it. On the third day after that, he pushed the rock aside and came out..."
"That's right!", exclaimed St. Pete.
"...he saw his shadow and went back in the cave for six more weeks".

You know, I gotta hope God's got a sense of humor (and, in the event He or She is a Gator fan, feel free to eliminate the reference).
