Not long to go now!

Mince, **** ***!

:o ;D

I was thinking, seeing as it's Boxing Day, who would you most like to punch on the nose?
-
Everyone who missed my deliberate mistake about there being 364 days until next Christmas.

Boxing Day morning and you want us to recognise one of your arcane puzzles? We haven't even got to 2008 and you want us to automatically know that it'll be a Leap Year! ::)
-
I know, and they've got Christmas gear in the shops already!
I like these snowflakes, can we keep them? Bear in mind my opinions change with the wind.
-
Malc, we can keep them if you post the next gif image to have floating down the screen.

Talking of punching people in the nose, I just received an email from an American cartoonist asking me to fight him. No kidding, he can't stand me and the feeling is mutual. Things came to a head just a day or so ago, and he's had a brain meltdown, hence the hostile email.
I'm wondering whether there might be money in this? I mean, if the promotion was right.... If I hired a decent-sized venue, would you lot come to the States to watch two middle-aged cartoonists slog it out over, say...one round? If I get into training, I might manage two.
-
What on earth did you say to upset the man, Malc?

There you go.

That post was in answer to Mince, not Roger.
Roger, the guy in question is (in my opinion) a pretty awful character, a religious fundamentalist, a braggart, a serial self-publicist in the most awful manner (no charm, no sophistication) and he's generally unpopular, but no-one tells him.
Things came to a head when a discussion about the Iraq war got a little heated. He's a big supporter of God and the war, and backed up the sending of troops with flowery cartoons, romantically linking the war with praying soldiers, the US flag, angels, knights in armour, praying, the US flag, praying, etc, etc...
The guy is a big Bush supporter too, and recently used the name Bush alongside what he regarded as other "war" presidents, like Ike, FDR, etc.
I took exception to this, pointing out the Bush had basically started his own war, against an innocent nation, and that he was a cretin.
The guy also encouraged us to "understand" the reasons for continuing the war, and I asked him to explain to us what they were. He couldn't apparently, and signed off with "goodbye" followed up with an email invite for me and him to fight.

You could have replaced all this rhetoric by saying that the bloke was an American :D
-
Now, now...I know some wonderful yanks, and they can't stand this git either. He does, however, represent the worst stereotype - stetson hat and everything. His political camp (the loud and obnoxious god-bothering NRA members) are getting shirty as Bush's fortunes slowly dwindle and he comes closer to impeachment.
They're all running around trying to re-invent themselves as the Support Our Troops faction, regretting the war but deeming criticism of it unpatriotic.
In fact they started out as the Bomb Iraq Into The Stone Age faction and thought the Iraqis would have embraced democracy well before now, as well as starting their own gridiron league.
-
I'll hold your jacket, Malc. Mind you, he sounds like the guy of guy who would go into a fight wearing a Charlton Heston t-shirt and with his grandad's colt 45 in his belt.
-
... he sounds like the guy of guy who would ...
Have you been drinking?
-
Can you change those descending images, Mince? That bloke is really ugly. I think I'd rather see the pics of Roger on balance.
-
??? Where's the snowflakes gone ???

There you go.
This was actually funnier when in answer to Roger's question: "What on earth did you say to upset the man, Malc?" than as proposed precipitation.
-
??? Where's the snowflakes gone ???
This is really bizarre. We get something as exquisitely beautiful as a unique snowflake crystal, surely one of Nature's most lovely creations, sandwiched between two real ugly choices, the latter of which (the old guy gurning with his cigarette), has to be the most hideous. Where's the logic?

Press F5 for snowflakes.

Does nothing on my laptop. Mind you, I am running the latest OSX Leopard.

Well, it's snowflakes for me. Your browser is caching the old woman with the fag; you need to force it to reload the image, which is now a snowflake.

Old woman? I thought it was Malc.
I actually thought of Malc on Xmas Day. Realising they were so many hours ahead of us. I thought of him lying stretched out on a beach, under the warmth of the sun, with a bottle of booze at his side...
Then I thought of the search-parties that could be out looking for him...
-
;D Yay!!! It's snowing again!!! ;D

I was actually stretched out on a friend's veranda snoozing. Christmas day was overcast, and a lovely breeze wafted by all afternoon.
Every adult in the house was asleep! In the evening we all played cards. The Aussies know how to party.
