longer than last year that's for sure!!

Hello everyone, so I hope you're all having as nice of a Christmas, or your own beautiful holiday of preference, and if I look North-Northwest from my chair, here's my view, wish you were all here right now

that tree looks like an explosion of good will towards men

where are all the giifts?!

I took that pic after the gift opening frenzy and clean up. I assure you we had way more than our share of presents since we were fortunate enough to have a very good year.

So what did you all get? I didn't get a chrismas yet this year .

Only, with Ducks, not buffalo.....

I bought it, and gave it to the bride.
Got what I WANTED for a change.....

Fuck Christmas, I didn't get shit.

Seriously though, my son got a ton of stuff from me and his family so I'm grateful for that.

fun. I should go wrap some gifts before it's too late. :|

An ideal
needs a little thought
& pretense.

(Wasting a post...)

Around the closet
gather places more enclosed
& as agorae.

Annals retentive,
squeezing through the corridors,
engraved by enclaves.

I'm going to get on to sharing with all of you three wise gifts, but I've been down and tired, and my back is sore (which has no bearing on why I have yet to "upload" my gifts unto ye, but the time in which spent that led to a sore back perhaps is an attribute of my symptoms.)

I had wanted it to be tonight (well, last night really) but I'll most likely be catching up on stuff, and also trying to figure out where to find the third gift (I heard about it on the 2nd night of Christmas, but I have not yet been able to locate it, manageably) so just hang on.

Until then, Christmas in The Longest Thread Ever is on lay-away.
(actually, the real celebration of the Birth of "Christ", or Jesus, should actually be around the same time we honor his death, in the weeks right after Spring, but mainstream Western Society has told us to celebrate in December for some several centuries, so I get it... man, my back is killing me.)

What kills us
is unwillingness
to believe

Here's my post for the day. What did you post today?

The above. and... um, a couple other stuff you may never come across.

Should I post more, I wonder?

you should.

And so I have.


-- If you add more vanilla extract to something whilst baking it (say instead of 1 teaspoon you add nearly 2 teaspoons), does it make the finished (bread) product any darker in hue?

why would it? but the idea makes me hungry just the same

Dinners ready.....

not really. I have never seen a difference. I does however give it a more defined taste.

how about some vanilla beer? ...sounds weird but I heard it tastes good

I don't know. So was the basis of my questioning whether it would or not, and the subsequent responses that might seek to clarify that bit
(more vanilla = darker colouring).

Also, I know I have delayed my gift-giving, but now, I'm just biding my time (instead of squandering it away) so I have a good outlayal (I might have made this word up a week ago, but it sounds damn nice, don't it?) of the presentation. If we can hasten ourselves up and garner a new page, all the better. Such a thoughtful post with details and raucous laughter and new intrigue into my frame of mind is best featured front and center, instead of bottomed-out and forgotten away. Be back after watching some NFL highlights and ruminating on some thoughts of music from the 20s.



footnote: I could take around ~30 min. to an hour to upload my audible treats now as i found the last one, but then I'd just but presenting them to you on the 6th day of Christmas, and nobody remembers such an obtuse, unoriginal day. Best to wait for a spell and give it out on the 7th day, and even better to recognize it as New Year's Eve (sadly, Dick Clark retired; but I'm just as good, trust me).

I saw one of those, but without the shell, on a cold rainy day at some bus stop a few months back. It was going after a popsicle stick.

happy new year?

That sounds like a west USA coastal banana slug,
who might go after the remnants of a banana flavoured popsicle stick.

Ever so slowly,
with no malice aforethought,
we ooze through ourselves.

Forever yours,
Porous and Permeable, Inc.

how many minutes?

I'm a moon monster, so my new year doesn''t come by for some months still. Don't ruin my 24,688th year of civilized living.
I want to make the year 24,689 a memorable one, so... I'm... maybe.


Thinking of getting my rotating bird's license.

Full moon tonight.

I still have some 3 or 4 new moons left until 24,689 (or 2010).

Do I need to help you guys reach a new page so I can present my gifts yet, or will you guys be fine? I want to read some sports articles.

I'll be a good sport.

hello my dearest longest thread friends. I'm heading off to party land in a few minutes but hereby I wish you all a very nice New Year's Eve and a super fantastic upcoming 2010! Luckily, after seeing ring's critter above, I can order escargot for my appetizer and plenty of good crusty bread to sop up the herbed garlic butter....with wine! dammit I'm hungry can you tell.

one more... help me identify these people:

just in case you haven't heard about it. it is simple, effective, and most of all, readily accessible (ie, free).

no one will read this vehemently
 

Just need a few more...

in case you thought I forgot...

here is (pre)-gift #0.5, of which I mentioned a few pages back...
We're finally relevant again.

...oh, and I finally started using my tumblr account after waiting (procrastinating) to using it fully and comprehesively. It took me a full calendar year, plus one month to get motivated enough to steal other people's ideas and become their thoughtmonger. Lucky for me this is the busiest time of the year, and I crumble under stress. *One thumb up for sarcasm

I did.... wishin' I didn't....

you may be a good sport

..others may be a zooksport

others?

there's more than 1 ?
