but Joey...it's not me birthday!

The New Testament provides no information regarding the date of the birth of Me.

It is believed that Christmas' current date was chosen to take advantage of the imperial holiday of the birth of the Sun God Mithras, more specifically Sol Invictus, which coincided with the "return of the sun" after the shortest day of the year. According to this theory, the reason was to replace the popular pagan holiday with a Christian celebration of holy communion. For example, the Catholic Encyclopedia states: "Natalis Invicti, celebrated on 25 December, has a strong claim on the responsibility for our December date."

Well, Happy Birthday, Jesus (I'll probably be off-line henceforth). I always wondered: what was your sex-life like whe you came to visit us mortals? Was Mary Magdalene really hot? Do Gods and their offspring actually have a libido?

And to all my other dysfunctional friends:

HAVE A GREAT CHRISTMAS AND MAY THE NEW YEAR MAKE ALL YOUR WISHES COME TRUE !!!!!!! Most of all, may the new year bring us a tour....

Santa Claus is a loser ! :nanker

Santa's in the poorhouse
He's earning millions in mall appearances, but that doesn't begin to cover all his expenses.
Posted by Kim Peterson on Thursday, December 17, 2009 1:32 PM
Ah, Santa, what a life.

The big guy gets to kick around all year, but come November he gets practically chained to the mall food court. And then there's that one night where he gets no sleep, of course.

So are six intense weeks of work enough to cover the carefree rest of the year? Bankrate.com did an analysis and found that no, even the millions of dollars that Santa pulls in every year don't make a dent in all his expenses.

Here's how Bankrate calculated Santa's net worth:

Mall duty: Even if Santa just earned the federal minimum wage of $6.55, he'd still make a pretty penny from his 10-hour photo appearances at malls across the country. Estimating his total hours worked at nearly 401,000, Bankrate estimates his total wage at $2,623,576.30.

But Santa doesn't accept minimum wage. After working out a deal to get about $8,000 from photographers in each of the nation's 1,000 biggest malls, Santa takes home about $8 million every season, Bankrate reports.

Special appearances: Santa tends to butter his bread with a few extra gigs. In fact, I saw him the other day on the sidewalk, waving a sign for a cell phone company.

Between that and convention and casino appearances, Santa would probably get another $224,000 a year.

OK, so we know Santa pulls in the cash. But how much does he have to spend? Let's go over his expenses:

Gifts: At an average cost of between $30 and $35 per present, Santa would need to spend $778 million to supply gifts to the estimated 24 million U.S. children through age 6 (at which point kids start having second thoughts about this whole Santa thing).

Insurance: Insuring all those gifts would amount to about 15% of their value, or $117 million, according to InsureMyTrip.com.

Payroll: One payroll expert estimated that Santa would need to pay his elves about $1,624 biweekly. If Santa employed 8,500 elves (that's how many seasonal workers Macy's hires for its Western division), he'd need to shell out about $35 million for payroll over a five-week period.

So if you put Santa's earnings against his expenses, he ends up owing about $931 million every year. And does Santa even pay taxes?

No wonder he keeps out of sight most of the time.

Best Christmas song EVER:

Mary grows a child without the help of a man
Joseph get upset because he doesn't understand
Angel comes to Joseph in a powerful dream
Says "God did this and you're part of his scheme"
Joseph comes to Mary with his hat in his hand
Says "forgive me I thought you'd been with some other man"
She says "what if I had been - but I wasn't anyway and guess what
I felt the baby kick today"

Like a stone on the surface of a still river
Driving the ripples on forever
Redemption rips through the surface of time
In the cry of a tiny babe

The child is born in the fullness of time
Three wise astrologers take note of the signs
Come to pay their respects to the fragile little king
Get pretty close to wrecking everything
'Cause the governing body of the whole [Holy] land
Is that of Herod, a paranoid man
Who when he hears there's a baby born King of the Jews
Sends death squads to kill all male children under two
But that same bright angel warns the parents in a dream
And they head out for the border and get away clean

Like a stone on the surface of a still river
Driving the ripples on forever
Redemption rips through the surface of time
In the cry of a tiny babe

There are others who know about this miracle birth
The humblest of people catch a glimpse of their worth
For it isn't to the palace that the Christ child comes
But to shepherds and street people, hookers and bums
And the message is clear if you've got [you have] ears to hear
That forgiveness is given for your guilt and your fear
It's a Christmas gift [that] you don't have to buy
There's a future shining in a baby's eyes

Like a stone on the surface of a still river
Driving the ripples on forever
Redemption rips through the surface of time
In the cry of a tiny babe

Merry Christmas to all my friends at Rocks Off!

And to those who do not believe, do us all a favor-keep it to your self! Nobody proselytizes about their faith here so there is no need for you (funman) to knock other people's faith. You have zero faith-we get it! Now shut up about it!

Sorry to spoil a perfectly good Merry Christmas post, but I can not take somebody who continually and habitually sees no problems ridiculing those of faith. Yes funman, I have lurked on the insanity that is the political thread. Oh, btw, it's coming! Hard and fast! Hard and fast I said! LOL!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to one and all (yes, even you funman!)

The fat man treated me good! Got the Beatles' remastered White Album. In a word-brilliant! Lots of other stuff, but it's time to go help play with the kids!
