Merry Holiday, Everybody
Yay for Christmas-I mean Winter-I mean Holiday-Break! Two weeks of freedom! And Nothing! And did I mention NOTHING!? I think I'm getting high! AAAAH! Ha! Ha!
I was hit yesterday by a big Oh-My-God train. Every year, on the Friday before Holiday/Winter break begins, the 8th grade students (being the oldest in my little K-8 school) face the faculty in a flag football game. The student population from 4th grade up is bitterly devided between the pro-students and the pro-faculty. Friend against friend, brother against brother! This year, though, there was one major difference. THIS YEAR, I WAS AN 8th GRADER. This came as a rather large shock. I also then realised that the mad yells of "GO STUDENTS!!!!" were ment for US. That was a rather scary thought. Anyway, we won! We were down by between ten and 20 for almost the whole game, until the last quarter, when we rallyed and came back. We were down by two with one second on the clock. Once the play started, it could go on as long as we liked, as say the rules. The pass was thrown, and it was one of the longest throws of the game. A spectacular jump-catch was made, and all of the student supporters streamed onto the field, screaming. It was SO cool.
I just looked back up at the title of this post, and remembered why I started it in the first place. I just wanted to rant about the insane political correctness this year. Is it really that offensive to go up to someone you don't know and wish them a merry Christmas? Isn't it the thought that counts? And why is it not so bad to go up to the same person and wish them a merry Kwanza or Hanukkah (Chanukkah, Channukah, Hannukah...)? If any of you understand these un-written rules, please let me know. I'm confused. I also heard that some of the christian nuts got mad at the whole "Merry Holiday" thing, because they thought it should just be "Merry Christmas"
SNL recently made fun of all of this, with the lighting of the Rockerfeller Center Holiday Tree. "Holiday Carols" were sung, with almost fanatic non-denomitaional-ness.
Silent Night
Normal Night
All is calm, all is bright
Round the fire, mother and child
Random infant, so tender and mild
Sleep in comfortable beds
Sleep in comfortable beds.
Random Trivia Question:
How long was the gap on the tape from Watergate?
How can Arlo Guthrie help you with this question?

If you understand this and think it's funny, good for you. Think SNL.
