Merry Christmas Blinky!

You'll have to wait another week.

Tjugondag Knut? (Or however you spell it.)

I guess I could look at the link, but I don't trust anyone not to have spruced up the wiki entry just for this...

 

Even if it was spruced up, it'd be corrected in about 10 minutes, maybe less.
It's fine to me, and I remember hearing something about some "Danish Nut" who extended the celebration of christmas in Europe.

 

Is that pronounced "nut" or "noot"?

 

More like "nuut".

 

Thanks.

 

Man, you should wait for orthodoxal Christmas at 07.01.07. But even after that not wonder if it wouldn't be changed because it's not Old New Year yet.

 

Oh, don't go confusing him with Jesus's real birthday. Don't bother mentioning that what we now call Christmas used to be a festival of drinking, wife beating, and sodomy.

 

If you're referring to the name Knut, I'd say it was "newt" -- with the "K" at the start, of course. It sure as shite ain't "Canute" at least.

 

Don't know about sodomy and wife beating, cause we don't practise it, but for the first you mentioned you're right . And Old New Year is a festival anyway!

 

You don't practice wife beating? Sofo, Sofo, Sofo where have you been living these past few years good man?

 

Is wife beating really a practice, though, and not more of a hobby?

 

It'd call it more of a practice. The people who do it as a hobby are those who get caught.
You do it well and your wife might "beat" you back.

 

Well, maybe that's because I'm not married? :-? Anyway, I can't imagine beating a woman, especally if she's my wife.

 

When you get married, it should always be in the vows that a wife is subject to an eternity of slavery and beating until her master lets her go. This way the justice system is not having to be slowed from the more important crimes which need more attention in society

 

You know, too damn tired to even formulate my original point correctly. What I meant was that it wasn't like it was some boxer's practice for the big championship fight, but more ...

Ah, sod it... I don't even remember what the hell I was going on about. Let's chalk it up as a failure in every way. I humbly beg for pardon.

 

wife beating is fine and all, but baby beating is where it's at.

 

Amen to that. I dunno Rose, I would probably bet my wages on you to kick your husbands ass before he kicked yours anyday.

 

I know what you meant. I just took my own spin on it.

 

You are wise beyond your years, benevolent lizard.
