Christmas - more trouble than it's worth

Well not the day,
but the presents
and the food
the family complaints and all those fun and games are more the trouble than anything else.

But by far Boxing Day is the worst.
Going to get milk and bread takes four times longer than usual.
Kmart is full of idiots who want cheap pillows and rockband instrument sets for their consoles, unbeknown to them that they only work with the first game and no other.
Ahhhhh
it must be nice to be illinformed

til next time

You are kidding me right?

I just received this as I'm a member of the mailing list for MSFest a music festival that runs in Launceston, in Northern Tasmania and to be quite honest I don't whether or not to laugh at such a crass and poorly constructed "Carol" or to be insulted that they think that majority of the people are that stupid.
Judge for yourself

Wishing you a safe and happy Christmas from all of us at msfest HQ. We'll see you in the New Year!

JINGLE FEST

Christmas is almost here
So spread some Christmas cheer
m-s-fest-tick-ets
Would make great gifts this year
V-I-P have sold out fast
General passes will not last
So get on board and grab your Tix
It’s gunna be a blast

Oh, jingle bells, we all yell
msfest is on the way
Oh, what fun it is to bounce in the mosh pit on the day
Jingle bells, we can tell
msfest will rock this year
Eskimo Joe and Sneaky
Just a few who’ll be down here

So we’re getting fired up
And we hope that you are too
For Tassie’s biggest show
So grab your dancin’ shoes
Bliss n Eso will go off
Potbelleez will go wild
Launceston’s gunna rock
With man, woman and child

Oh Jingle bells, Santa can tell
What’s underneath your tree
A shiny msfest ticket
You’ll have to wait and see
Jingle bells, we all yell
Merry Christmas once again
Don’t you miss the moment
msfest 2010.

oh dear, some people will do anything to get listened to. 

Til next time

Ahh Christmas Time...

...would be so much easier if everyone went shopping on the internet so I can go into town without being ran over by sadistic mothers who use their children's prams as battering rams so they get to the $5 t shirt pile in Jay jays that nano second quicker.
Or if that 15 year old, (who was in her school uniform at 11am) would stop asking me for smokes or money for the bus.
I used to love christmas, it was a great time of the year. You'd get a few gifts and chillax with the family.

Now it's like YOU MUST BUY HEAPS O' SHIT FOR YOUR FAMILY OR THEY WILL HATE YOU FOR ETERNITY
(nice marketing ploy there which no doubt will be used next christmas)

I'm guessing jesus wasn't born so your kids could $1000 of plastic crap each and then sulk because you didn't buy them some toy that they never said anything about.

AND THATS ANOTHER THING...
since when have Australians ever had a huge ass proper turkey?
sure families have those turkey rolls but not a whole turkey!

WHAT ARE WE? AMERICA MARK2?

I am so glad I'm having a bbq for my xmas dinner
til next time!

Because failure is always an option on the internet

Today I am a failure.
on the internet.
Ok so I'm on gaiaonline, I do a lot of charity work on their. Not proper real world charity, but like giving people pixels to match their other pixels charity.
(Hey I enjoy it, don't knock it til you try it.)
Anyway decided that we weren't getting applicants because the thread was super long so what did I do?
Made a new thread.
For the last four days it has been a failure of EPIC proportions.
Seriously.
I am even giving out things if people POST in the thread
and that's not even enough.
To paraphrase Makie from Negima  "I have failed at being charitable."
