Bah Humbug!
Christmas lols already.
I’m going to go and hide from the stinking, soulless, profit mongers. (I wish they would just admit that they actually celebrate saturnalia.)
Ummmm, okay, I’ll admit to celebrating Saturnalia. Please to receive presents now?
“Already”? If it hadn’t been for the election, we would have been bombarded with Xmas marketing/commercials/store displays/whatever starting sometime around Halloween!
I suspect the economy is to blame for some of it too. A lot of stores are barely hanging on and counting on Christmas to save them, they don’t really have the money for marketing and decorations that they may have in the past.
*sigh* Yeah. My store (I work at Build-a-Bear) isn’t doing too badly, but the difference from last year is amazing. In a bad way. But I hope it won’t do too badly. For better or for worse, people will find a way to make their kids happy, and hopefully I can help.
I heard on NPR that B-a-B had actually rolled out a decent selection of smaller, less expensive bears in the hope of mitigating the hit from a down market – I do recall full size bears were a bit pricey. Are the new $10 bears moving?
Oh-ho-ho yeah. We’re running out of them faster than the company can send more. Actually, they’re not new–they just lowered the prices on a bunch of the old ones. But it’s only til they sell through, so if you want them, come get them before the end of the year! I know what everyone I know is getting for Christmas this year, by the way…I make custom bears for my friends and family.
My second job is at Borders. We’re what’s known as a second tier company (so says my supervisor anyway) that is we’re second to Barnes and Noble the way Circuit City is second to Best Buy. So when times are tough, we’re hit harder. I wouldn’t be surprised if Borders declared bankruptcy after Christmas. I also wouldn’t be surprised if our store is one of the first to close.
Oh my gosh, really? That’s horrible! I love Waldenbooks; they’re with Borders, right? A bunch of my friends work there. I’d hate to see them out of a job…
Depressing… I love Borders. They seem to have at least a little bit of individuality, as opposed to the Barnes & Noble machine.
Wow, that IS depressing Jane. I like Borders better than B&N. I’d hate to see them gone.
I’m sorry, Jane, but in Portland we have a local bookstore chain that is so good, I can’t possibly support Border’s. (Please google Powell’s Books; one location is a three story building that occupies an entire city block!)
Amen, brother Mark. Powell’s FTW.
I’m not offended, it’s not like I own stock! I don’t know if this is true or not, I’m just saying, if you get Borders Gift Cards, spend them right away.
I live in Eugene, and regularly drive to Portland to visit Powells. Since they do so much used books, I think they’ll be fine! (hope)
I hope that’s not going to happen, I may prefer Barnes & Noble to Borders, but I live in such a small city that there are no bookstore like those nearby, in fact we have to drive 45 min. to get to the nearest Borders. If that store were to close I don’t what I would do.
Woo hoo! Build-A-Bear Groundhogs rock! Crap! Was that out loud?
wait, we weren’t? where i live, they had christmas lights up in major shopping centers by nov. 2
oh no my friend, christmas shit was already on the shelves in september, and my work just tossed all the thanksgiving fall items a few weeks ago….it’s going to get to the point where christmas crap will be out shelves all year long
but they retconned it fair and square :< I personally just love to celebrate being out of school for a bit, and the day that the days will slowly become longer again.
i like short days, I llike long days, I like medium days…and nights too!
Winter can be good, (Hallowe’en, Guy Fawkes night, Christmas, Hogmany (or Up-Helly-Aa if you’re from Shetland)) but all the festivals are just there to cheer up everyone who’s depressed because of seeing the sun rise at 9pm and set at 4pm.
I like shorter days, great for snuggling under the blanket with a cup of tea and a book (or a person, if you’re lucky!)
We gotta drag us in one of those fire fighters!
They’ll keep us warm!
(Mutters quietly to himself) Cheez, it’s never the restaurant managers. Tsk, tsk.
(Pours himself another Bunedhaven) Oh, well, I’m still happy.
Damn! I missed Guy Fawkes!
“Remember, remember the fifth of November,
The gunpowder, treason and plot,
I know of no reason
Why the gunpowder treason
Should ever be forgot.”
I missed it too. :/
Me too. Damn ‘flu.
Aww
She can come and celebrate Festivus with me and my family.
What about the ‘feats of strength’? I bet you could snap her in half. Maybe wrap her around the Festivus pole….
I probably could, but I’m not the head of the household. He’s a big softy, so she could probably take him.
Not bad, but I don’t see what it has to do with politics and news and stuff. xP
It will when Billo gets his meat hooks into it.
WIN!!!!
From the expression on her face, I’m not so sure ol’ Ming wants to join in the Santa games.
Okay, it could be because she’s been made fun of, but that doesn’t seem to stop some folks around here, huh?
It’s that darn “Melly Chlistmas” that got to them….
It’s that darn “Melly Chlistmas” that got to them….
Fa ra ra ra ra…..ra ra ra raaaaaaaaa!!!!! *chops head off duck*
Everyone’s a rittle bit lacist….
I’ve always had a thing about embroidery, but not lace…
Dang post lag !!!
But you’re right about faa rah rah
For some reason, I thought of her as “Mrs. Swan”, which could help explain why nobody wants to play reindeer games with her.
I think even Santa will be out of a job by Christmas!Iran just asked OPEC to reduce production by yet another 1.5 million barrels per day.This past year and the record gas prices played a huge part in our economic meltdown.It cost the equivalent of 60 cents a gallon to drive an electric plug in car.Create cheap clean energy, create millions of badly needed green collar jobs.Obama needs to read this new cbook The Manhattan Project of 2009 Energy Independence NOW outlines a plan for America to wean itself off oil.We need a plan and we need it now!
If you think that the only thing we need oil for is gasoline, you’re sadly mistaken. Everyone driving electric cars won’t stop our need for oil, foreign and domestic. The only way to lower gas prices, create millions of jobs, and stimulate the economy (oil related, that is), is to let us drill in our own oil fields. Otherwise, we’ll be at the mercy of foreign overlords. OPEC is basically a terrorist cartell holding oil for ransom.
Either that or we can keep invading the middle east to try and keep stability over there in the oil rich countries, but that’s a real expensive option. You’re right, I would rather drill here now…
Nah, lets look for the frankincense in the Middle East, just look at the bright side, if we blow a lot of things up, then we’re bound to find it…or maybe the myrrh I think explosives can bring out the myrrh.
We can’t blow up anything to find myrrh! Don’t you know myrrh is a hamburger hotdish!
*clickity, click!*
nothin’ myrrh-ikan as a hamburger hotdish.
First note: all the oil we can drill from US territory would barely lower the
cost of a barrel of oil by a dollar….by 2020. In meantime we get to enjoy
the oil derricks near Delicate Arch by abt 2012. *sob*
Second note: what IS this poor li’l lady doing at Santacon?
Third note: We could save oceans of oil & cruiseships full of coal if we
covered every parking lot in the country with solar panels like they’re
stg to do at CalTech & Cal State Northridge. (My car would stay cool!)
Fourth note…there is no fourth note. Ive prob overstayed my welcome.
Happy Chrismahannukwanzanalia.
I covered this in the thread under the Axis of Fail LOL. The whole “Drill here, Drill now” meme is a crock. Respectfully, of course. I don’t want to copy and paste another wall of text, but if you keep supporting this meme, I promise I will!
so this affects a guy who uses reindeer to fly himself across the globe HOW?
Yeah, reindeer = sustainable energy.
Only if you chop them up and burn them.
oops a guy by the name of Jeff Wilson is the author
what you want!?
firetruck!

Hah… I just saw that yesterday… gotta love efficiency
Wow! I submitted essentially the same LOL, but not as good. Good one ganwil!
