I really enjoy Garmin’s Christmas adverts. They’re clever and make me want to buy a Garmin. I already have a Garmin, though, and I love it. I’m taking it on my trip to Italy. Which reminds me I need to buy the maps for Italy for it before I go. Enjoy!
It’s that time of year again. So it’s snowing here at WoPSR.net and the Magic Special Buy Me Stuff for Christmas Happy Funtime Wow Wishlist Hat™ is back. I also moved the links from the right side to the left side and added a Flickr widget to the right side. It shows the latest three phởtos I’ve uploaded to Flickr. Clicking one will open it in a lightbox. If you click on the heading, “Flickr”, it will take you to the Flickr page, which has a full gallery. You can eventually get to my actual factual Flickr page on Flickr’s servers by clicking on [ . . . ]

I like most of my family. I do not waste my time on those family members whom I do not like, their pathetic attempts to induce holiday guilt notwithstanding. Funny, I haven’t spoken to some of these people in over a dozen years and they still think they can guilt slash bribe me into calling them. Or visiting. Or even acknowledging their existence. They just don’t get it. I really like Christmas. I’m not going to spoil it by concerning myself with unpleasant people.

It is difficult for me to express exactly how much this man scares me. Not just from a political standpoint, but as a person. Even the look of him portends terrible things. Perhaps he smells of doom. It isn’t even the possibility, however remote, that he might be elected that scares me. A theocrat at 1600 Pennsylvania couldn’t do so much damage as, say, a theocrat at One First Street. It would still be awful, but if putting up a theocratic government is your goal, the Oval Office isn’t the most effective route. What is really frightening about Mike Huckabee is that so many people — people [ . . . ]

Super Happy Capitalist Winter Extravaganza is near at hand! Most of you know this holiday by its much less cumbersome and more familiar name, Christmas. But let’s face it: Christmas is about buying stuff for people you like and getting stuff from them, in a fantastic orgy of sales and decorations, smothered in a gooey outpouring of happy delicious good will. Hooray, Capitalism! In the spirit of the lively exchange of gifts, I have published The List. See the hat on the “W” in the header? You can click that, too. Not only do I like getting things for Christmas, but I like buying them for other [ . . . ]
