I have been taking a break...... Thought I would stop by and see what was going on this fine Sunday...... I am sure there are some pervs out and about
On hearing that her elderly grandfather had just passed away, Katie went straight to her grandparent's house to visit her 95 year old grandmother and comfort her.
When she asked how her grandfather had died, her grandmother replied, "He had a heart attack while we were making love on Sunday morning."
Horrified, Katie told her grandmother that 2 people nearly 100 years old having sex would surely be asking for trouble.
"Oh no, my dear, " replied granny. "Many years ago, realizing our advanced age, we figured out the best time to do it was when the church bells would start to ring. It was just the right rhythm. Nice and slow and even. Nothing too strenuous, simply in on the Ding and out on the Dong."
She paused, wiped away a tear and then continued, "And if that damned ice cream truck hadn't come along, he'd still be alive today!"

And with Christmas on it's Merry way, a repeat story of reindeer seems in order.
I have recently come across compelling scientific evidence that reindeer can travel at very high altitudes. It was all in response to a friend who challenged my hypothesis that if you trace erroneous science-based beliefs back far enough, you can usually find some original grain of truth, or at least where they went wrong. His immediate rejoinder was to ask me about the scientific fact behind Santa’s flying reindeer. It turns out the answer is far more pharmacological and anthropological than aerodynamic.
In northern Siberia, the reindeer developed a taste for those colorful red and white mushrooms, fly agaric (amanita muscaria), and would eat them till they’re higher than a kite. Anyone eating the meat of such reindeer got equally high. The village shamen soon figured out the connection as well as how to reduce the toxicity of the mushrooms while increasing the potency. They claimed it helped them fly. Folks in the far north had not yet discovered the art of fermentation, so the fly-in visits from the shamen with his mushroom treats were much anticipated. A further point…many shamanistic Arctic tribes such as the Koryaks of Siberia lived in semi underground yurt-like structures, whose only entrance was a ladder through the smoke hole. The shamen would climb down with his sack of red and white gifts, helping to pass the dreary Arctic winter.
Then, in 1931, a young Swedish artist named Haddon Sundblom, obviously familiar with the tales, created a jolly round Santa Claus as a Christmas icon for his client, Coca Cola, using the company’s familiar red and white colors. Coke notes with pride that until that time, St. Nick appeared in any number of guises, from a somber man in priestly garb to a green-clad elf, and it was only after Haddon had developed the character over several years that the jolly fat Santa, his clothes the same color as the mushroom, became our Christmas standard-bearer. He was shown actually drinking his first Coke in 1934.
I should point out that I have not studied this tale of anthropological and mycological lore to the level of looking at the original studies, so the possibility exists that this is a wonderfully collective put-up job by several august scientific bodies and respected universities such as the British Mycological Society and the University of Oslo, but I doubt it. However, in doing the research on the flying reindeer, I found almost countless web sources about Solstice traditions and celebrations taking place in every corner of the world. It seems we humans have an almost unlimited number of ways to celebrate the fact that for all of us, the days will soon be getting longer and sunnier.
So, here we are sitting on a pretty blue planet, warmed as we circle a rather typical type G star, located in a remote spiral arm of a nice, but unexceptional galaxy, and we’ve made it round one more time. Regardless of your perspective on who, if anyone, really runs the show, it’s hard to find fault with Tiny Tim’ s last hopeful, redeeming and inclusive line from Dickens’ A Christmas Carol. "God Bless us all. Everyone."
