corporate pigs and saint nicholas

Posted on Friday, December 2, 02005 under pop-culture, travel & holidays.

I hate doing this, but everyone wants to know what I want for christmas. I don’t want anything: buy youself some natural gas and enjoy a warm house — on me! Stuff that money away into your new-car fund, or make an extra payment on your mortgage. I don’t need much or anything. We’re doing okay. We’ll get by. But for those of you who insist on propogating the Santa mythos, here are a few things that wouldn’t be a complete waste of your shopping time and money: this super-practical listbot-o-matic

About the Author

Brad thinks you silly spamming spambots should just keep comment spamming me here. Thanks to both my aggressive moeration policy and the akismet plugin not a single word or link of it ever gets posted, but it sure does make me chuckle as I’m deleting it out of the back end.

Well. Corrected. Though the single snow shovel we have dramatically reduces the partipation in the act of “general snow removal” by one certain (unnamed) resident of our home. She knows who she is!

about this site

This is a personal blog to which I've been posting for nearly eleven years. It's neither news nor journalism; It is opinion and perspective. Fundamentally it is little more than a personal diary that I happen to share online. More often than not I fill this space with musings of little interest to anyone but myself. Occasionally others find what I write to be interesting, and read it or share it. But usually it just is what it is: My ramblings. So, share and enjoy... or just move along.
