Lost in the Desert

It's like 'dessert,' but with one 's,' because it sucks.

White Lights and a Christmas Card

Rate: 13 Flag

 

 

skinny's christmas card

 

Not my usual here tonight.  Consider this a Christmas Card from Skinny.  I have lights strung up in my half of my CHU, and I am actually feeling some of that Christmas Spirit, even out here in the desert (one “s”).

So Merry Christmas, or happy solstice, or Chanukah, or whatever you celebrate.  Enjoy the season, wherever you are.

All the best,

Skinny

Well if you can feel it where you're at, I'll give it my best shot, too.

Happy Christmas, Skinny!

Hooah! Though you're not feeling very hooah this holiday season. I don't blame you. So I'll just say take care.

And to you, big man.

I was a little disappointed that you specified the single "s," though. Up until that, I'd been picturing you in the middle of a giant bowl of Jello.

Well folks, it was as good as cold be expected. Still no green Jell-O, but a lovely Christmas given the circumstances. Hope you're all recovering from food comas, and Happy Boxing Day to you crazy Canucks...

PS: MJ, definitely not feeling particularly hooah ;o)

Haha, got the lights in a package, and hooked them up to the same inverter that runs my coffee grinder. I expect it will be at least another five years before there's a Wal-Mart Baghdad. Thanks Cat...
