Okay, here's the best one yet. Someone in our neighborhood dragged out their great big inflatable St. Patrick's Day leprechaun and tied a red scarf around its sorry neck in an attempt to make it Christmassy. I tell you, Merman and I never laughed so hard! It's hilarious.


THAT's the spirit!

:rofl:

One year here in TX we saw an lighted armadillo (as opposed to a raindeer) - and as I recall Santa w/cowboy hat was either riding it or was close by.
:lol: I liked it!

Thanks Catherine. I was giving a non-paid column in the Walton Sun that was all set to start running yesterday called "Beneath The Surface," but they emailed me this morning after a month's worth of pre-submissions that they misjudged their space and wouldn't be able to carry it - I suppose with five pages of religious commentary, the paper's pretty full (Though this column about a plastic Baby Jesus would have complemented the large religious section nicely.)

I even agreed in writing to cut out all expletives with the exception of damn, hell and whore when used in purely biblical references.

I'll stick with the undercurrent, sowal.com and the ocassional regional mag as an outlet for my psychosis.

Well, they do have to leave plenty of room for articles letting us know about the newest shopping mall to open in Detroit.

My favorite game with the Log newspapers is to play 'spot the uncredited press release'. Haha! that one must have been written by the Concrete Block Association of America! This one comes courtesy of the United States Pool Chemical Consortium!

And why do they always run the HUD press releases about low income Native American housing programs in Oklahoma? I mean I know they've got to puff up the content a little bit so they've got enough pages to fit all the real estate ads in, but couldn't they run some sort of slightly more Southeastern HUD press releases instead.

Freedom owns the Log, The PC Herald, The NWF Daily and there's hardly any independent substance in the Log and Walton Sun - It insults my intelligence. Someone needs to do a REAL online paper!
