coffeesnob318My friend Angela, who shares my Clay fascination, bought me his book! Yay! Such a nice surprise!
Now onto the point of the post - I found this greeting card. It's hilarious. In fact, right now, just thinking about it, I am sitting here like a mad person, giggling. In the office. While people are trying to work. I know that I look like a crazy person, typing and laughing at what I'm writing, but I can't help it. And I just may be mad, because no one else whom I've told about it seems to think it's quite as funny as I do (and you may not, either), but I love it all the same.
Difficulty #1 - it is a Christmas card and I know that some of you on my holiday list do not celebrate Christmas, so I don't want to send you anything that would offend you. I'm not usually concerned with political correctness, but I know that it bugs me when people use the spirit of goodwill at the holidays to slip in their own agenda.
Difficulty #2 - Some of you who do celebrate Christmas might find it offensive. It is not blasphemous, but it is mildly irreverent. The irreverence is actually so mild that you may not even think that it is, but there are definitely certain members of my family that will be getting a nice, non-funny Christmas card instead, because they will see my sending of this particular card as a sure sign that I'm headed for hell.
If you fall into either of the two categories above, please comment below and tell me. I have a pretty, tasteful, non-descript holiday backup card (the one that I was originally planning on sending to everyone, until I found this new gem), and I will be happy to send that one instead. Just let me know.
This anal-retentive, wimpy message is brought to you by the letter M.

And if anyone thinks you'll go to hell for it, it's probably right up my alley, because you know being Pagan, I'm just as bad as Saddam, Hitler, Charles Manson and Britney Spears combined. Maybe i'll share a room in hell with Martha Stewart and a child molester. *snerk*

Date: 2004-11-22 07:26 pm (UTC)Sure I'll send you one! Have you filled out my address survey (it was a couple of entries ago...not sure of the date)? Only I can see it, so it's safe. Well, that is, if giving your address to me is safe...

Date: 2004-11-22 07:29 pm (UTC)Now watch - no one is going to think that it's nearly as funny as I do. But I'm at peace with that.

Date: 2004-11-23 12:54 am (UTC)Hey, all my weekends should be open in December as I'm not scheduled to work any Saturdays (YAY!!!!!!). But we will have my stepdaughter for part of December, presumably the second half since that's when school is out :p
