Odd things I've heard today....


Did you hear about the stink involving NORAD (North American Aerospace Defense Command) as they track Santa Claus?   It seems some people are upset that kids are seeing FA-18's escorting Santa as he slips into North American airspace.  

They say kids will think that either Santa himself is suspect, or that he might be attacked by bad guys.  Either way, it's a sight kids shouldn't be exposed to.  "Our society is just too violent" they say.

I agree.  How can we expect kids to enjoy playing Black Ops-Call of Duty on their new XBox One or to knock off hookers and dopers playing Grand Theft Auto 5 when their innocent little minds are worried sick over whether Santa is about to get whacked by Al Qaeda?

I'm all for government doing what they can to save a few taxpayer dollars, but I'm wondering if Wisconsin might have taken things just a bit too far?

I've never been to Wisconsin in the winter (and I'd like to keep it that way), but I understand there's a lot of ice and snow all over their roads.  To supplement the usual salt they spread around to aid drivers, they've now begun to also spread around "repurposed" provolone and mozzarella cheese brine, byproducts of their cheese industry.

Does this mean they'll soon change the slogan on their license plates from "Wisconsin:  America's Dairyland" to "Wisconsin: Come Smell Our Dairy Air"?  *think about it*


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Merry Christmas everyone.  I hope you have a wonderful, safe, happy holiday.  :)

  1. Gee, there is just not enough shit to worry about to protect "The Children." Here is an idea for all those upset about NORAD...STFU!!
    Did you see the latest about Peanut allergies? One friggin kid got sick from them and suddenly pregnant ladies avoided peanuts during pregnancy. Now one in 10 kids is allergic to peanuts. Seems if you avoid certain things in pregnancy and early childhood the body does not develop defenses so the worry about peanuts has created an epidemic of allergies. Worrying about stuff can exacerbate the problem.

    How the heck did you get me off on a rant? Damn you Lowenslow!

    Merry Christmas to you and yours!!!

    1. Chill Big Joe. My post was just meant to be humorously sarcastic. Some people just don't have a life. Maybe they'll get one for Christmas. :)

  2. The best way to end the war on terrorism is to let Al Qaeda try and attack Santa. First off he has magic on his side, and second, all the kids in the world would rise up and Al Qaeda would be history before you know it. I hope you and K and Luke the Wonder Dog have a wonderful and very Merry Christmas.

  3. I heard an odd thing today, too: The movie It's a Wonderful Lifewas once investigated for suspicion of communist propaganda! *Shakes head*

    A Merry Christmas to you and Kelly and Luke the Wonder Dog!
