1st Cav - “Live the Legend”
Personally, I like this “A Christmas Story”
“NOT A FINGER!!!”
- a billionty and eleven!
That movie is in my top 5. “Daddy’s gonna kill Ralphie!”
And Denny, I have to apologize. I told the joke three times today, ang got big laughs each time. I takes a big man to tell a joke that bad, but a bigger man to admit when a terrible joke isn’t so terrible. So, I must be the biggest, joke telling man of them all. I’m gonna go have another beer now.
Barry, if I don’t have to apologize for posting it, you don’t have to apologize either!
Denny, I NEVER apoligize, I’m sorry, but that’s just the way I am.
My favorite version of the Christmas Story…
Well you just did actually. ;D
You missed the Good Eats Santa Cookie episode. Santa can manipulate time. It makes sense
why would he only travel once a year? Because it takes him a year to visit all the homes. It just
feels like 31 hours to us…
I usually load this up for my kids Christmas Eve:
My daughter usually gets a kick out of it. She’s 7 now and I think she’s starting to suspect some things (friends with older siblings in the school yard and she’s a pretty smart kid), but she wants to believe and wants to keep the excitement there for her 2 year old brother.
I did miss that episode. So let’s see, Santa has 8760 hours to do it instead of 31. Let’s even go to 8784, best case scenario is a leap year, right? So he can move 283 (let’s round up to 284) times slower. That’s still over 8000 mph, more than 10 times the speed of sound. If we simplify the sleigh and reindeer to be a point, which they obviously are not, the lead pair of reindeer still must absorb 1 quadrillion joules of heat per second, each. It might not happen as quickly, but you still end up with reindeer/sleigh/Santa ash. ;D
But by your own admission, he doesn’t need to visit large parts of Asia and Africa. Plus, places that celebrate Little Christmas (January 6, I think) wouldn’t expect the Jolly Old Elf to visit until then.
How do these factor into his fate?
At least now we know why Rudolph’s nose is red… :
The date isn’t important, since we’re giving him the whole year to do it. And I think the differences in location are small compared to the several advantages we’re giving SAnta, like using a point mass to calculate kinetic energy, neglecting to account for sleeping, bathroom breaks, and quality time with Mrs. Santa. We’ll assume Santa eats nothing but the cookies and milk that little kids leave out for him, or we’d have to factor in meals as well.
My son has been a Harry Potter fan since he was two. Each year Harry’s owl, Hedwig, would come and take my son’s Dear Santa letter from our mail box to the North Pole.
Now what are we going to do? 
Errol is still around, isn’t he? Of course the letter may take longer to get there.
Should we all click our heels together or clap our hands or something?
Have you seen “Elf”? You sing “Santa Claus Is Coming To Town”!
“Bloody bird’s a menace!”
