4. He's a Commie, the fat Red bastard.
But more like one of the Kommisars living the good life, while the proles toil unceasingly in the sweatshops.

8. Yes, but have you tried Willy Wonka's new chocolate covered Soylent Orange? It's music in your mouth

9. by the way have you seen illustrations of the original Oompas from the book?

11. Santa Klaus- "Saint Nicholas"- is a catholic saint - He works for god,
directly, which is why his reindeer fly and yours do not. And he gets paid from the collections on sunday.
