CelebrityFIST!

And so as we leave Thanksgiving to our memories (and stomachs) we see that dreaded season coming.

Christmas/Hannukah/Kwanzaa/Winter Soltice?  No no no.  There’s nothing wrong with those.

Oh no, I’m talking about “Holiday Shopping Season”.  That wonderful time of year when millions of people jam the stores and malls, get pissed off, sometimes beat the shit out each other for some ‘gift’ for a person they normally don’t even look at (much less talk to) who will then place said ‘gift’ into a closet, forgotten.  All in the meantime, they will attempt to donate pocket change in “the spirit of giving” so that they won’t feel that pang of guilt buying things they don’t possibly need for themselves (which is the normal thing done nowadays).

…

Bitter?  Oh a tad.

Feh.  I was once asked how much should you donate to charity.  I told them (cynically) whatever you can spare because its never enough.  And it isn’t.  [Full disclosure:  I donate to charity a pitiful 1% of my pretax income; so I’m just as guilty as the next numbskull.]  Blech.  This post is fucked.  Which just is another thing was can say George Michael buggered.

NOTE: The post goes downhill from here

(Not that the Spanish were any better but while the Anglo-Saxons chased the Native Americans to near-oblivion; the Spanish did it different - they fucked them into oblivion.  Kinda hard to make a holiday outta that I suppose.  )

Anyway, tomorrow I will nevertheless give thanks and gorge on enough food to feed a small African village.  Therefore I won’t be ‘here’ most of the day.  Also I have to get up early tomorrow to help my mother fix the sides.  So without any further ado I give a pointless series of links, pics, etc.  Enjoy (maybe).
