If It Sounds Like A Duck…

I saw this cartoon posted today at this blog and absolutely fell in love with it!!  You know that old saying, “if it sounds like a duck, walks like a duck and looks like a duck”?  Well this cartoon nails the issue on the head!

I know a lot of Christians and conservatives get all uptight when “Merry Christmas” gets changed to “Happy Holidays”.   I never understood why this is so.  America is a melting pot, remember!  We have lots of different faiths and beliefs here in our country, and some of them celebrate some of their doctrines at the same time around December.

This cartoon definitely calls us Christians out and asks us to wake up!

I know I might get some heat from my Christian friends, but I just gotta say what I think.   What if we got rid of all the trash we bought at Christmas and spent that money to help the needy?

Relevant Magazine has a very good article entitled “Merry Consumerism” in their most recent issue regarding this subject.  Click on over there and read it, I dare ya! While you’re at it, read this article detailing how we Christians obtained some of our beloved Christmas symbols, such as the Christmas Tree and Mistletoe.

So, let’s not be so uptight.  Other people want to celebrate the season that is close to their beliefs.  And 90% of people still call it Christmas for goodness sakes!

Cursed With A Thin Beard

I empathize with Calvin’s plight.  I’ve not shaved for over a week and this is all I have to show for it:

What’s going on here?  This much jaw hair grows on my brother’s face in just about 4 hours.  Don’t I share the same gene pool?  So I ponder, like Calvin, why am I cursed with a thin beard?  It just doesn’t seem fair!

What kind of beard would I grow if I could?  A big viking beard that could be braided would be awesome!  Something like Zakk Wylde….

I mean, what screams “metal god” more than long hair and a big beard?

Goodness this is funny! Jim is capping on BSG and totally frustrates Dwight! I know that Dwight was going to tell him that BSG is on hiatus until 2009 (like Lost) and it is a “re-imagined remake”! I sure felt for Dwight this time!
