OKAY! I admit it. I laughed at first but this is really pathetic. Must have no life other than time to blow up Santa.

Hmmmm......I almost think if I had had to stare at his display since November, I might even consider, uh............never mind.
To: mhking
It's an ACLU plot! I tell you!
They're not going to wait for the courts to remove Santa. They're going right after him with firecrackers today, M16's tomorrow.
Oh, wait. They're anti-gun too. Hmmm. Must have been Al Queda.

I have to wonder at people sometimes.

One year it was stealing the baby Jesus out of the church displays. I wonder about people too.

Ok, 12-gauge loaded with rocksalt would help... Get a motion sensor that can be aimed at display, set for above dog size. When alarm goes off, open window, Yell "Hello ACLU", pull trigger and enjoy screams and idiots dig out rocksalt.
Payback is hell when your on santa SH!T list...

...after someone had placed firecrackers in the belt of his 8-foot inflatable Santa and lit the fuses. Only charred debris remains where the Santa stood. Must have been some heavy-duty "firecrackers" to do that!
To: SledgeCS
Taking a load of rock salt in the seat of the pants. The sting and the whelps it raises are bad enough but for those rocks that go through the trousers and break hide...ouch!
Even worse is Doc doesn't take them out he just suggest a warm bath and the use of a dunking motion.

Footprints in the snow, one apparently left by a size 7 shoeThat was either left by a very small teenaged boy or a woman in the throes of PMS.

kidnapped a reindeer I realize they can't say which reindeer it was (protect the family and such) but I sure hope it wasn't Donder (NOT Donner). I just hope the kidnapped reindeer is being treated well. Damn, I said I wouldn't cry.
