We need to talk shop: What are our plans to DESTROY Christmas this year?
Soon it will be time for the War on Christmas. We need to prepare and coordinate our strategy this year to destroy Christmas and make America an atheist paradise.

1. Define torture as
forcing little screaming brats to sit on Santa'a lap and pose for pictures.

Not sure who is being tortured though. Santa, the elves, the parents or the kids?

40. OK, about those lines of brats waiting to make a deal with Santa
We could walk down the line and whisper in each kid's ear, "You really want to sit in his lap? He's one of those dirty old men, you know."

Yes nasty, but if Smirky can ignore the Geneva Conventions, so can we.

117. OK; Let's clear this up.
Santa; Corporate Christmas
Baby Jesus; Religious Christmas

Which one are we supposed to destroy? I'm confused.

45. Nope. It's tolerating your brother in law as he declares * a great man.
The torture is guaranteed, every year.

If you want to have a war on that, you'll need a daggar and a silver bullet in Christmas's heart.

Otherwise, it will repeat itself yet another year.

121. That's true
The holiday of Christmas is hanging on by a thread as it is... hardly popular at all. Just a concerted effort to say "happy holidays" should be enough to wipe it out forever.

in celebration of the secular nature of the holiday. That ought to drive them bonkers.

Or Yule, if you're so inclined. :D

Personally, I'm going to hitch my dog up to a big sled, sneak into all of their houses on Christmas Eve, steal all of their Christmas gear, put it in the sled, then haul it up to the top of Mount Crumpet. :D

41. "Christmas Time Is Pagan", lyrics
Christmas Time Is Pagan
To the tune of Gloria in Excelsius Deo
Public domain

Christmas time is here again,
Decorations everywhere.
Christmas carols ringing out,
Gentle pagans, we don't care.

CHORUS:
Glorious!
Christmas time is pagan!
Glorious!
Christmas time is pagan!

Modern folks all celebrate
What they learned in Sunday School.
In December, they don't know
They are celebrating Yule!

CHORUS

Let them have their Christmas trees,
Decked in red and green and blue.
We rejoice at every one!
Christmas trees are pagan, too.

CHORUS

Bowls of bubbly Christmas cheer,
Fill your cup and quench your thirst.
They think the tradition's theirs.
Wassail bowls were pagan, first.

CHORUS

Every door and window bears
Wreaths of holly, wreaths of pine.
Circles represent the Sun.
Every wreath is yours and mine.

CHORUS

Christmas lights on Christmas trees,
Candle flames burn higher and higher,
Let us cheer along, my friends,
As they light their Yuletide fire.

CHORUS

There's a possibility
That this song is yours and mine
'Cause the tune was known to all
Back in A.D. one-two-nine.

CHORUS

Edited on Sat Sep-23-06 12:19 PM by jazzjunkysue
I saw santa at an adult bookstore.

Santa never really delivers those presents: He gets his elves to do it.

Santa made Rudolph his favorite because Rudolph and he were doing it when Mrs. Santa was out having her nails done.

of the closet. And oy the endless shopping. At least the price of babies has gone down. All this unemployment was good for something. Bobbing for babies is alway a big hit at my house. I have a new recipe for caramel organs I can't wait to try. I know it is better if you have carmel hearts-but it so hard to find GOP with hearts these days-but organs are a good substitute.:evilgrin:

We must plan ahead if we are to have success this year. It seems that no matter how hard we try, we are continually thwarted in our Satanic plans to destroy Christmas by the fearless efforts of Bill O'Reilly, Jerry Falwell, and that Godlike figure George W. Bush. O'Reilly has demonstrated time and again how his take no guff, throw the crumb bums out on the street type of culture combat has consistently mangled our evil plans!

We would have been successful in destroying Christmas if it wasn't for those DAMN SNOOPING KIDS! The earlier we plan this time the better!

12. On Black Friday (the day after Thanksgiving)
We should all go into the Express lane (12 items or less) with 13 items, and then pay in pennies. If we don't have enough pennies, then we have to write a check for the difference.

By the time we've counted everything out, there will be 100+ angry people behind each of us in line.

31. just make sure
you buy 13 cheap items.

(one of my pet peeves is that whenever I'm in a hurry & buy like 1 or 2 items, I inevitably get behind a person in the express lane that has 13-14 items, then asks if they can pay by check despite the big "CASH ONLY" sign... or, an older couple that buys 25 items and they split it into 2 orders of 12 and 13 items)

49. "Jolly Old St. Nicholas"
Jolly Old St. Nicholas, alternative version

Jolly old St. Nicholas,
Lean your ear this way.
You don't want a single soul
To hear what I will say.
I have got some Polaroids,
Now you dirty man,
Tell me what you'll bring to me
Tell me if you can.

One shows you and Mrs. Claus
With a bunch of toys.
And I don't mean the stuff you bring
To little girls and boys.
Then there's the picture showing you
with Vixen in the shed
And one with you and Rudolph. Wow!
His nose is shining red!

(Remainder of song not appropriate for these boards.)

So jolly old St. Nicholas
(Though "saint" is clearly wrong)
I hope that you've been thinking while
I finished up my song.
I have got some Polaroids,
Now you dirty man,
Tell me what you'll bring to me
Tell me if you can.

people's lawns and waterboarding a plastic nativity figure of virgin (snicker) mary?

Or putting a hood on the plastic figure of jesus with electric wires running to his genitals?

Or putting joseph in "stress" positions?

Or rigging up the wise men with suicide bomber jackets?

Yeah I like that... that'll work.

Lessee...
Happy Holiday cards...check.
Holiday gift list...check
Holiday 'cheer'...check

Now all I need are people to piss off, since most of my crowd are either pagans, wiccans, or people secure enough in their various flavors of Christianity that they don't need to try to shove it down everyone else's throat.
Means twice as many parties, too... :toast::party: :grouphug:

Could they possibly try to start The War on Christmas early?

Make it look like they are trying to get a jump on the issue before the "anti-Christmas warriors" do.

34. I take a three-pronged approach
I buy my Xmas gifts from individuals on eBay. This stops money from getting to the big retailers, whose practice is to say Merry Christmas. So republicans will view decreased sales at these retailers as an attack on Xmas.

Because I get my shopping done early, whenever I'm out and about, I'll stop at a Toys R Us and look at all the cars in the parking lot. If a high enough number of them have Bush bumper stickers, I'll walk into the front and yell out, "I FINISHED MY SHOPPING THE FIRST WEEK OF NOVEMBER, SUCKAS! YEAH! KISS IT!" and walk out again.

Not only do I wish people Happy Holidays, I do it in Spanish. Every time I do this, Bill O'Reilly loses double the hit points he normally does from just Happy Holidays, and he cries.

47. My small idea: to counteract Bill O'Reilly's Christmas tree ornaments
that he sells on the Faux News Web site with "The O'Reilly Factor" and "Fox News" on them (no, I am NOT kidding), I will propose to Keith Olbermann that he sell HIS own Christmas ornaments on the MSNBC Web site.

After all, what would YOU rather have? This:

43. step 1: Declare plans to annex Valentines Day
step 2: create hostile "incident" at Thanksgiving.

Step 3: Move in and occupy Channukah (for its own good). Install Kwanza as provisional puppet government.

Step 4: Resign from League of Holidays when called to account by delegates.

Step 5: Surprise Attack Santa's Village by air on Dec 24th. Show forged letter "The Elfnaka Memorial" as proof of Claus' plans to take over hemisphere. Implicate "Hermes" in plot to draw in Halloween and Groundhog Day as part of Tripartypite Pact. Intercepted communiques found in doll teeth.

Step 6: Cancel New Year's Eve celebration and declare 2006 as "year without end", Jan 1 becomes Dec 32, and calendar continues forward in linear fashion. Promise that calendar will be restored to normal following successful annexation of Valentines Day, and part of St. Patricks Day.

Of course I will send it to soldiers 'cause I don't support them either. And I'll donate some platelets cause I hate the time off I have-damn teacher's union spoiled a perfectly good work week. I'll donate more money this year than I did last year to our school food drive so I can feel all smug and elitist, 'cause the only thing I hate more than poor parents are poor kids. I hope I can torture as many people as I can-it makes for a miserable holiday for all.

91. With song
Walking in a Winter Wonderland

Lacy things -- the wife is missin',
Didn't ask -- her permission,
I'm wearin' her clothes,
Her silk pantyhose,
Walkin' 'round in women's underwear.

In the store -- there's a teddy,
Little straps -- like spaghetti,
It holds me so tight,
Like handcuffs at night,
Walkin' 'round in women's underwear.

In the office there's a guy named Melvin,
He pretends that I am Murphy Brown.

He'll say, "Are you ready?" I'll say,"Whoa, Man!"
"Let's wait until our wives are out of town!"

Later on, if you wanna,
We can dress -- like Madonna,
Put on some eyeshade,
And join the parade,
Walkin' 'round in women's underwear!

Lacy things... missin',
Didn't ask... permission,
Wearin' her clothes,
Her silk pantyhose,
Walkin' 'round in women's underwear.

Walkin' 'round in women's underwear,
Walkin' 'round in women's underwear!

Why he ever started this cheap, penny-ante Building and Loan, I'll never know. But neither you nor anybody else can say anything against his character, because his whole life was . . .

Why, in the twenty-five years since he and Uncle Billy started this thing, he never once thought of himself. Isn't that right, Uncle Billy? He didn't save enough money to send Harry to school, let alone me. But he did help a few people get out of your slums, Mr. Potter.

And what's wrong with that? Why . . . Here, you're all businessmen here. Doesn't it make them better citizens? Doesn't it make them better customers? You . . you said . . . What'd you say just a minute ago? . . . They had to wait and save their money before they even ought to think of a decent home. Wait! Wait for what?
Until their children grow up and leave them? Until they're
so old and broken-down that they . . .

Do you know how long it takes a working man to save five
thousand dollars? Just remember this, Mr. Potter, that this rabble
you're talking about . . . they do most of the working and paying and living and dying in this community. Well, is it too much to have them work and pay and live and die in a couple of decent rooms and a bath? Anyway, my father didn't think so. People were human
beings to him, but to you, a warped, frustrated old man, they're
cattle. Well, in my book he died a much richer man than you'll ever be!

114. This will take several steps, but we must begin now.
1.) Call Lobo. He will fuck Santa up, opening the door for a new bearded patriarch up at the North Pole.



2.) Bust Saddam Hussein out of prison. Slip him in Santa's place. Nobody will be the wiser.



3.) Introduce his new assistant, Ted Kaczynski. Together they'll put together a lethal combination of chemical and biological weapons in the form of package bombs.



4.) Bring out the Grinch! The Grinch deftly busted into people's houses in the past. On the big night, let him head out and deliver Saddam's and Kaczynski's Christmas Specials.



As the families of America lay dying in pools of their own vomit and urine, nobody will ever want to celebrate Christmas again. We win.

127. Why We Fight - Mission Statement
Edited on Sun Sep-24-06 10:09 AM by sarge43
Christmas is an awfulness that compares favorably with the great London plague and fire of 1665-66. No one escapes the feelings of mortal dejection, inadequacy, frustration, loneliness, guilt and pity. No one escapes feeling used by society, by religion, by friends and relatives, by the utterly artificial responsibilities of extending false greetings, sending banal cards, reciprocating unsolicited gifts, going to dull parties, putting up with acquaintances and family one avoids all the rest of the year ... in short, of being brutalized by a 'holiday' that has lost virtually all of its original meanings and has become a merchandising ploy for color tv set manufacturers and ravagers of the woodlands.

NO tree, NO lights, NO cookies, NO fancy dinner, NO travel, NO company, NO poinsettas, NO xmas cards, NO xmas music, NO It's a Wonderful Life, NO A Christmas Carol, NO presents, NO goodwill, and NO Santa, Reindeer, or Elves! ABSOLUTELY POSITIVELY NOTHING!

Except...what is my kid gonna say about that?! :yoiks:

136. I only want to destroy Bill-O's Xmas
And at all possible disrupt his traditional "Ho, Ho, Ho" falafel/loofah/hooker foursome that some say he celebrates every Christmas eve.

138. Let me see if I've got this straight
A virgin mother gives birth to a baby who will save us all, if only we'll receive, and the father is this all-knowing bearded guy who is everywhere all at once who lives somewhere in the sky though we never really get a good look at him, well unless you look within which seems odd as "up there" by definition can't be "in here." As a sidebar this Big Guy In The Sky is quite an authoritarian who is always looking upon us so as we behave properly.

Well anyway believing all that we are suppose to celebrate this baby savior's birthday by putting up a pine tree with lights on it whilst we await another visit from another bearded guy who will, yes you guessed it, descend upon us from the sky, riding in a toy-laden sleigh which is drawn by flying reindeer. Now this overweight but jolly toy distributor lives in one of the coldest places on Earth yet maintains what must be the most enormous toy shop on Earth that is staffed by elves. Now the toys are to be distributed to all the good children, again it seems bearded guys in the sky are interested in behavior modification, as the heavy-set fella slides down the chimney snacks on the milk and cookies left by all good people puts gifts under the tree climbs back on the roof where the reindeer await and flies off to the next house. Sounds a little iffy to me.

Having said all that I loved decorating the tree with my mom.
