He's coming!



Did you put your socks up?

Btw in my native Iceland we've got 13 Santas (well, we dont call them that way), plus their freaky mom, Grýla the ogress. We tend to meet her after the 5th vodka. No surprise we're constantly visited by the hidden folk - you try to live in a desolate lava desert with virtually no winter sun and we'll talk again! So these nasty lads come one by one, starting from December 12 (last Sunday), and they have names like the Strap Loosener, Skirt Blower, Donut Beggar, Smoke Gulper, Butter Greedy, Candle Beggar, etc. For example Icelandic kids will be visited by the Bowl Licker tonight. How scary is that?

That makes for a whole bunch of socks. Hopefully i won't get a lump of coal...

 
Sooo... Have You Been Naughty ... Or Nice???

Two more things. Greetings to all head-bangers out there. Hope you'll have fanfuckingtastic holidays!

You'll be okay, girl! Hugs.
I'm becoming a daddy sometime within the next few days. That's both awesome and terrifying too.

This post obviously screams out for macros.

Although moments of football brilliance do occur from time to time...

...and REAL football geniuses tend to pop up once in a decade...

...you'd still realize that the huge multitude of them wannabe-stars remains largely hilarious.

Question for Glenn Beck listeners...

I don't listen to the guy on radio or TV.

But since he's so omnipresent, stories about his antics often pop up that link to transcripts of his show.

I'm baffled.

Every time, and I mean every time, I look at what he's said in PRINT, it is incomprehensible -- rambling. Staccato sentences with no clear thought. Repetition. More rambling. Half ideas that he seems to finish in his head.

Now I've done enough observation and interview research to know that how we speak is rarely as well put together as what we write, but I have to ask -- If you've ever listened to the guy SPEAK off a script, does it actually make any sense?

Black Holes and Warped Space Revealed by Powerful New Array of Radio Telescopes (http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2010/12/101208202154.htm)

A new image shows how the light from a quasar billions of light years away is bent around a foreground galaxy by the curvature of space. This light has been traveling for 9 billion years before it reached the Earth. The quasar is a galaxy powered by a super-massive black hole, leading to the ejection of jets of matter moving at almost the speed of light.

So sad, I always get home on Fridays after traveling for a week. Usually I have just enough time to catch up on my WoW responsibilities, watch TV and...oh yeah, spend time with the fam that I never check this damn thread!! Priorities man, priorities.
