The guy we're spending the Fourth of July with can't stand the concept of Christmas in July. But he has a problem with the entire religion of Christianity.
He keeps seeing too many examples of "people using religion to try to control something that's none of their d*mn business."
His own brother does it. His brother gives gobs of money to the Richard Nixon foundation and can "boast of attending church every Sunday."
But if you ever met and talked to his brother for half an hour at any given time, you'd wonder what the heck makes him think he's so "loving and Christian" and a perfectly wonderful human being.
His brother told me, "You don't thank Vietnam veterans for serving our country, because they lost the war for us. That's not something you praise a person for doing."
At which point Richard, who's a veteran of that war, felt the need to interject with, "Do you spend hours thinking UP this inane drivel or were you just born with the inherent ability to be a perfect ass?"
That made me crack up laughing, but the way his brother talks like that - and did it so frequently over the four days I saw him - doesn't make me think of the love of Jesus Christ, which is where the word Christian originated.
If I lived with his brother for long, I probably would question Christianity too.

Well, he has a minor point, since christmas is a holiday hijacked, so to speak, from roman and persian forerunners. But i love christmas because of all the good food and family feeling running around.

Dear Satan Claws

This year I have been very good not too terribly bad

For Christmas in July, I would like an early release of Revival and Finders Keepers, a signed copy of NOS4A2, a large bottle of STROH “80” (red in color) rum, and a bottle of peppermint schnapps for my hot chocolate.

That's right on up there with raccoon nookie. You can't ignore the raccoons when they're randy within a seven mile radius.
...of all the terms I have expected to encounter among my meanderings through this Board, the LAST one I expected to stumble over was "raccoon nookie"....is that perchance anything akin to "bunny bangin'"?....
