I really need to get a grip
A friend gave me an Xmas gift this morning. It was a pewter ornament in a pretty silver gift box.

Upon closer inspection, I saw the letters "FOX" engraved on the ornament. I almost lost it.

"How dare you give me something from Fox News"???!!???, I demanded.

Upon closer inspection, the inscription said "Fox Theater" (which is a well know landmark here in Atlanta).

My response: "Never Mind" :D

5. Well, I have a friend who works for Fox Sports in LA...
...so every now and then I get something Fox-related. I know I have an NFL on Fox hat somewhere. :shrug:

11. Oh me too! That's why I wear the hat sometimes.
Come to think of it, that chickie hasn't sent me anything in a while. Maybe her slacker ass got fired. LOL...

I got a free tour of the Fox Studios one year, too. That was sweet. Paramount was better, though. ;-)

7. Shame on them for taking a nice word like "Fox"
and corrupting it so Liberals gag when they hear it. Pretty animals too! Imagine having your last name be Fox.

We should demand that the network change their name. I recommend a new name for them, Poop.

The Poop News Network.

9. Even if it was from Fox News
I think you should just take it and say thank you. Just a guess on my part, but I'm sure Fox News doesn't make the products they sell. Some Joe Sixpack is making the merchandise, some geek Joe Mountaindew is maintaining the website that sells their crap, and some other Joe Sixpack is fulfilling the orders. There are plenty of people in the pie that don't care about Fox News.

Just my 2 pennies.

Good to know. I'm glad I saved the receipt.
