...just in case you hadn't heard, the HPL Historical Society has done it again! There is a second CD of Mythoic solstice ululations available - An Even Scarier Solstice.

Ia ftaghn ph'nglui!

I’ve reached my lifetime limit of listening to Xmas muzak; my sanity erodes swiftly when I hear those melodies, no matter what the words. (Did I ever tell you about the Spam Incident?) This is the time of year where I just don’t go outdoors without headphones.

LOL

So, do tell about the Spam Incident! Don't think I've heard that story.

obsessivewoman and I were shopping at our local grocery store in mid-December, and, as usual, the muzak was continuing to play the melodies of various Xmas carols. As we were going down the canned food aisle, I suddenly suffered a revelation: Spam™ was the spirit of Xmas! I explained this to her as I began filling the cart with it, pointing out how the small tins could be used as stocking stuffers and the large ones wrapped as presents under the tree.

Mara made me put it all back and then sent me out to the car to read while she finished the shopping, and now I wear headphones whenever I’m in a muzakized venue in the last month and a half of the year.

Squidmas is not quite the same holiday as Cephalopodmas.
