You are going to get in trouble for that comment.

Counting on it.

Hey! MrKelley's trying to get on Santa's Not Nice list!

Bet you weren't counting on coal instead of presents next year...

The way things are going, lumps of coal could be pretty darn good presents in the very near future....

Now I'll have to decide if I want to divert some of my funds from other worthy causes.

SciencePAF started out with a relatively inexpensive kit. It's the fruit, sugar, and yeast that get you.

Sometimes you can scam your own fruit -- one of the local motels has about a dozen plum trees that make the most fabulous plum wine plums ever. They love it when we come and pick all the plums so they don't fall on the sidewalk and make a mess.

I thought of that after I posted it -- "Why am I threatening MrKelley with such a great present?"

I was amazed to find this calendar for sale:

We have that calendar at Wal~Mart.

The calendar display rack was right in front of my department for some reason. How am I supposed to work with the SI and Maxim calendars staring me in the face all night.....?

Could be worse (better?). They could be 3-D calendars.

But then, they're probably already at least 38-D.

This is the kind of writing that people like flock think all liberals do exclusively.

Sure, it's vitriolic and unsubtle, but you have to admit that pretty much everyone on the list (at least the ones I was familiar with before I read it) is loathsome.

We got a seed savers calendar.

Yeah, those durn Founding Fathers. They were downright despicable!

I bought three half-price calendars at PetSmart last night -- Whippet, Greyhound, and Dalmatian. (They didn't have one for Birddawgs.)

Now I will cry every time I look at two of them -- or all three, considering that I wish I had hurried home faster.
