Yes, thank you Jackalope for starting this thread.  :thumbsUp:

It has been a busy last couple of days here at the redoubt. I thought I would make it easier this year and buy a store bought Christmas tree rather then trek out into the woods, however every Christmas tree farm was closed. No trees at stores either. So yesterday with saw in hand went out to our woods and cut one down.

We have about 8" of snow so I fell down twice. Once going to a tree and then once dragging one back. I am sore as all heck today. Well, I keep telling myself it is a a good sore.  :facepalm:

We just had some 80+-YO friends leave after a nice Christmas dinner of rib roast, Yorkshire pudding, sweet potato casserole, and rutabagas. I made a pumpkin pie for desert too but they had to leave before the sun set. I guess MrsMac and I will feast on the pie and some freshly brewed coffee later on.

Tomorrow, boxing day, is mine. I will lock myself up in the radio shack and finally use my new amplifier. 10-meters is open and my friends are hitting all over Asia, Alaska, Russia, S. Africa, etc. Basically global. So I will try to make some DX (Long Distance) contacts.

Well now, there you go. Wishing all a good Christmas and looking forward a healthy & profitable 2025.

73 & God Bless

A little late to the thread, Merry Christmas. Thankful that it has been quiet and uneventful for false flags.
God bless.

Oh Myyyyy  "...roast, Yorkshire pudding".  I haven't had Yorkshire in ages! Just remember the English rule:
"If you're not certain what it is, but it is delicious, you can't go far wrong calling it 'pudding'.  ha ha
Merry Christmas and back to me book.

But think of the poor little doggies!


And hope all had the good returns on the day, but let us keep a weather eye out for anything but a Happy New Year.

In a breakfast fry up, blood pudding is no slouch.   Combine with eggs and a broiled tomato... well... you can always cleanse your palate with pints of "room temperature" hand-pumped ale, later in the morning...   ;-)
Merry Christmas and a Happy, survivable, New Year!

Next Christmas is calendrically far off.   Which is OK, gives time to prepare.
Set aside and devote a smallish cannister of tannerite along with a roll of duct tape.
When it comes time to harvest a yule tree, choose the suitable tree and tape the smallish cannister to the trunk with the duct tape where you would like to make "the cut" and stand off (30/40 yards is more than enough) and hit it with a round from your suppressed 5.56/.223.
Which would you rather?
Stumble around in the woods with some Twinkie saw or a commonly held rifle?

Oh, Hell no!! I don't care if I completely understood the word. You just can't get away with "calendrically".  :facepalm: :lmfao:

"calendrically"
 ... just as English as one can possibly get.

Our Mother Tongue and it's global variants celebrate the Thief of Thieves.   (with an almost strangulating dose of "invention" tossed in for good measure).     Just tally the latest jargon of American youth, generations X thru Z (or whatever).
In truth, modern Americans are speaking a mixture of French, Viking, Latin, German/Dutch and Gaelic half the time, yet think nothing of it.  Swahili might be a bit thin on the board here right now, but you get the gist.

An interesting exercise (for those times between reloading ammunition and rotation of hoarded supplies) is to see how far back in old texts one can go and figure out how much still makes sense.   Tracing back over two, three hundred years and... good luck with cookbooks!
Calendrically.    Speaking.    And yes, I'll have another dram.   Thank you very much.   ;-)

PK is correct. 

That word is the most excessive bastardization of any written or spoken or work I have ever seen.

Pray it be stricken from the language and memory of all mankind.

*but it is easily DDGable and noted in many dictionarys.

Well, thank you, Nemo.

(Psssst... don't ever tell him "it's the most bastardized... ever seen"... it'll only encourage him)

Happy New year and best wishes for health, good drink and fine comestibles for ALL!


(PS: I spelled New Year "correctly" just to prove I could do it)

Note the seriousness of that too.  I have read a big bunch of code books, case law, legal briefs,  heard arguments and lots of that that kind of stuff.

His post still wins.  But I didn't let him see this!  It's hidden from him.
