Lessons learned

Of course, there have been a number of things that everyone has learned along the way -- some of them more important and immediate...

Fitness

A lot of guys (and even some women) are real fitness fanatics.

Part of the thing about being "fit" is that so many people really want what are called "six-pack abs".

That's something I don't have to worry about -- I've done even better than that.

I've got keg abs!

the last minute

As the time for departure gets close, everyone on Santa's staff gets concerned -- some of them more so than others...

Staff problems

While on his rounds, Santa isn't the only one that runs into difficulties along the way.

Technical issues

Sadly, it sometimes happens that something happens that Santa simply can't deal with any other way, other than just like everyone else...

PISSED!

Now that the assclowns in the Senate have passed the so-called healthcare "reform" bill, I am so totally, thoroughly, unspeakably pissed at my local shitbird that I've called his office (Senator Jon Tester, Billings 252-0550) to try and let them know that I am MOST DEFINITELY upset.

The entire state of fucking NEBRASKA getting out of having to pay anything because their scum-sucking, bottom-feeding, asswipe Senator went for a fucking power-play in exchange for his vote? This doesn't stand any kind of test, never mind "smell".

It is my sincere and fond hope that every microcephalic, misanthropic, pusillanimous pinhead that voted for this offence against the very IDEA of "democracy" should be smitten with suppurating pustules, have the fleas of a thousand camels infest their crotches, be flogged repeatedly and have the wounds rubbed with salt -- and then be seriously abused.

Santa's personnel problems (Part 3)

Some of the problems that Santa experiences are -- sadly -- of the self-induced variety.

Incidental

Trying to get to every kid on the entire fucking planet does keep Santa moving along -- meaning that he doesn't always have time to do the right thing when some problem or other comes up.
