Knock down drag out open thread of all things precious to your doctrines and traditions.
my mind | none | none

Ok boys and girls here is a chance to defend what you hold dear and near to your religion. For years now I have seen threads that make statements that I do not agree with but can not respond to because they hide behind the guise of being a devotional, or a caucus, or ecumenical. So here is a chance for open debate for all things that have been closed to opposing views in the past.

There will be only two guide lines no personal attacks and no posting of numerous links in a response or making a point. If you can not argue a point don’t respond by posting links. Yes I know that it is not part of the posting religious guidelines, but this is my thread so I get to make up the rules.

I am limiting this to religion due to the fact I can not post it in both general discussion and religion.

If some one would like to start a thread like this in general discussion by starting off that they believe that Fords are better than Chevys or that Obama is better than a potato then do so. But please refrain yourselves not to bring up Fords or Obama.

One other thing if you do not post directly to me I doubt if I will know what you have said concerning a point so if you have posted to others and want my opinion then ping me. I do not have time to read all posts. With that said let the debates begin.

Owl, before you die and go to hell, I would like to point out that the Bible is full of full of stories about Mustard Seeds.

Nothing about Mayonaisse. And that's because mayonaisse is of the devil.

Think about it.

Did you all steal that croquet set from the Episcopalians?

The Presbyterians actually. We were granted a Papal Indulgence... well, in so many words. You could tell if you read between the lines of what Father Mario said.

It wasn’t me. I swear. My account was hijacked. It was a DU troll who hacked my password. I was out of town at the time. Laz did it, yeah. Not me.

Ohhh — what the hell.

Only Mohammedans have a CENTRAL BELIEF in murder. Other religions may have committed the sin of murder - but it is not a core belief.

At the end of the movie "Houseguest", Phil Hartman and Sinbad sing a bunch of fractured Christmas songs ... They should be "RM Safe" ... They're all about hamburgers.

Does anybody know where to find them on the 'net, or do I have to transcribe them myself?

Great song, Laz...I just love Christmas music. Lets sing some more....

____________________________________

I saw Daddy kissing Santa Claus
underneath the mistletoe last night
He didn't see me creep
down the stairs to have a peep
He thought that I was tucked up in my bedroom fast asleep

Then I saw Daddy tickle Santa Claus
underneath his beard so snowy white
There must be some mistake
Was I really awake?
I rubbed my eyes and moved in close, a better look to take

Then, I saw Daddy hugging Santa Claus
He took his hand and pulled him to the couch
It must have been just fine
Santa didn't seem to mind
Then Daddy moved across the room to pour them both some wine.

Then, I saw Daddy fondle Santa Claus
And on his ear he nibbled now and then
I crawled across the floor
I hid behind the door
I left it open just a crack so I could watch some more

Then I saw Daddy undress Santa Claus
They quickly threw their clothes on our big chair
Well, much to my surprise
I couldn't believe my eyes!
It wasn't Santa after all but Mommy in disguise

But I saw Daddy kissing Santa Claus underneath the mistletoe last night
Oh what I laugh it would have been
If I had really seen
Daddy kissing Santa Claus last night!

I beg to differ. There is little better in the world than warm turkey on a fresh bread with mayo and extra salt.

Oh, yeah, my 2nd one expects all that.

My oldest is apologetic if she so much as gets a Coke out of the fridge . . .

. . . I'm not sure what went wrong.

Couldn't find it on the 'net, although it's listed on the soundtrack CD as the "Christmas/Burger Medley" - looks like you'll have to transcribe it!

I saw Mommy Groping Santa Claus....

DANBURY — A 33-year-old woman was charged with fourth-degree sexual assault Saturday after allegedly groping a man playing Santa Claus at the Danbury Fair mall.

Sandrama Lamy, 33, of Danbury, is charged with fourth-degree sexual assault, according to Danbury Detective Lt. Thomas Michael.

Two messages seeking comment were left on Lamy’s answering machine.

Details leading up to the alleged fondling are sketchy.

“I don’t know what the deal was. It was just bizarre,” the mall Santa told a reporter, referring all other questions about the incident to Cherry Hill Photo, the company that runs the Danbury Fair mall Santa photo setup.

Cherry Hill Photo did not respond to an e-mail seeking comment.

According to information provided by the Danbury Police Department, officers were dispatched to the mall Saturday at 8:45 p.m.

The mall Santa told police that Lamy touched him inappropriately while sitting on his lap.

“The security officer at the mall said Santa Claus has been sexually assaulted,” Michael said.

Lamy was also charged with breach of peace.

“She must have caused a commotion over there,” Michael said.

Lamy was released on a promise to appear Jan. 3 in Danbury Superior Court.

Danbury Fair mall spokeswoman Melissa Eigen called the alleged groping “an isolated incident.”

“The safety of our guests and employees is a top priority, and we strive to create a safe and enjoyable shopping environment at all our facilities and Danbury Fair specifically,”

2007 has not been a great year for mall Santas.

Earlier this month in Missoula, Mont., a mall Santa was assaulted with a pumpkin pie.

Meanwhile, a department store Santa in Australia claims he lost his job earlier this month because he said “Ho, ho, ho.”

His bosses had asked him to say “Hi, hi, hi.”

“Santa Tim” Connaghan is the president of RealSantas.com and teaches hundreds of people a year how to be Santas.

He said the Danbury Fair mall incident, if true, is one of kind.

Santas usually have to worry about kids tugging beards and teens throwing pennies from the mall rafters.

“I have been doing this 40 years, and I’ve never heard of charges being lodged either way — by a guest against a Santa or a Santa against a guest,” Connaghan said.

It isn’t unusual for an adult to sit and pose with a picture with a mall Santa.

“I’ve had some very nice ladies sit on my lap,” Connaghan said.

A harmless flirtation isn’t out of the norm.

“Once in a while they’ll say ‘I hope Mrs. Claus isn’t going to be upset.’ You have to be discreet and kind and say ‘Oh no, she’ll be OK. You can sit here, but only for one photo.’”
