Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

Well, Dwight...I've always learned that your last wish(if you're going to be doing such a dangerous thing) is to wish for more wishes. But of course you're right, it's the children we should think about. The children...

Yeah Chris. Here's to all those little friggin' Rugrats and Crumb Snatchers out there in the world today, alright!  (may they grow up and do a better job of practicin' that whole "Peace on Earth, Goodwill towards Men" thing than we old farts were ever able to pull off, huh?!)

Nice. Merry Christmas. The children of America will be like their forbears before them ..desiring peace for everyone but at least some will have the balls to stand up and protect us all from a harsh world where some care little for peace but desire only to bring suffering and angst to the rest of us.
Take a moment to think of the guys and gals in faraway places where the locals dont habla. Its hard to spend Christmas in a godless hole in Afghanistan or Iraq.

 Ya know folks, I think Steve Martin forgot to include one more Christmas wish, and so I'll add it here. MY wish for Christmas is that "some" people in the world will gain a sense of humor and can become cognizant of when certain threads started on some websites are sometimes intentionally posted as jokes. (yep, that's all I REALLY want Santa to bring to "some" people this year...I don't think that's askin' all that much from the big ol' jolly guy in the red suit, do YOU???!!!)  
Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

Well, in THAT case Keith, I think we should ALL now remove our hats, place 'em over our hearts, bow our heads, turn in whatever direction Tucson Arizona is from each of us AND take a moment of silence for one poor "doomed" soul amongst us here!!!

And along with Steve's, I wish you continue with your humor, Dwight, you are part of what makes this site fun!

If everyone had a sense of humour there'd be a lot less fighting. Oh, and money too, but then who'd give a ....?
