Is it too early to prepare for this years war on Christmas?

Only 6 months out. Good time to cook up ideas in the heat for fun in the snows of December.

I am thinking of having Santa's reindeer battling the ox and mule at the manger for the feed.

edit to add - that videos of the Mariachi band hired in Santa Barbara is giving me ideas, though.

I've got to start by writing a "nine ways to cook a reindeer" pamphlet and scatter it around toy departments throughout the area.

Then I need to clean up my "Why The Grinch Stole Christmas" poem (the only Christmas poem that contains drug references, field artillery, and roadkill eating) and put them near the employee break rooms at retail outlets.

I'd get a billboard with a picture of Santy's sleigh in the sights of an antiaircraft gun, but people would think the churches did it.

A billboard pointing out that the wise and all-seeing God wouldn't schedule His Only Son to be born in December would be more likely.

And the possibilities are endless. Porn featuring Santa's elves. A manger scene with crocodiles and octopi instead of cattle and oxen. Rudolph humping another reindeer - this would be a nice inflatable tableau for Bill Orally's front lawn.

The 50th Super Bowl is going to be known by its Arabic numeral, 50, instead of its Roman numeral, L. That means no "L" for the Super Bowl. No "L"? Noel? Pretty obvious when you think about it after either (a) four beers or (2) your second lobotomy. Which means you can look forward to this bullshit on your local Fox News station soon!
