Welcome back. My daughter lives in the Seattle area, but I'm on the "right" coast, lol. Well, I don't do coffee anyway, or any way at all... Take care. Vern

Misdirection: With, "... every idiot who goes about with 'Merry Christmas' on his lips should be boiled with his own pudding, and buried with a stake of holly through his heart. ..." you cleverly excluded all who do not fall within that widely encompassing category, which mutually exclusive subset leads directly to the "I am as light as a feather, I am as happy as an angel, I am as merry as a school-boy. I am as giddy as a drunken man. A merry Christmas to everybody! A happy New Year to all the world! Hallo here! Whoop! Hallo!” which followed. All one word of course, lol.

(If I wrote the story of Apostrophe Man, it would end in tragedy: Comma Man would steal all the apostrophes and claim them as his own. Plurals would no longer be reliable, and S-Elves would take over the world. Everyone would grow bored of Comma Man's surplus of punctuation, so we'd all start throwing commas everywhere. We'd be writing in staggering plurals.)

Works for me, lol. Name your price. Take care. Vern

cool

Ha  -- that reminds me of the great cranberry scare way back before you were born. Someone included it in a spoof of The Night Before Christmas:

And the children huddled all frightened in their beds
With visions of poison cranberries dancing in their heads.

No, but you can do it and we'll waive the deadline to give you an honorable mention along with a loud chorus of clapping and belly laughs and also promise to make a permanent monument in your likeness holding pen and sword. What say ye? Take care. Vern
