So somebody told me the other day (I know that really
sounds like a reliable source) that they had already seen some Xmas
stuff out in a store. I didn't really ask questions, like was it a
whole Xmas display already, or did it look like it had just been
misplaced and was there since last year...... I didn't ask these things
because a part of my very soul had already lost its battle with the
rage that dwells within. "What rage?" you may ask. Let me elucidate:
I have absolutely no problem with people doing their Xmas
shopping early, hell, do it all year long if you want, that way you
won't be raped by your credit cards all at once (like me), but in
smaller increments over time, so that the rape simply becomes a minor
inconvenience, "Have a seat on Santa's knee." "No thank you, I'll
stand." But I do have a problem with stores that assume that I need to
be in the Xmas spirit from the end of October on. Dude, I LIKE Xmas
carols (some- Dominic the Italian Christmas Donkey being my favorite),
but not for 2 and a half goddamn months. I mean, my family for MANY
years didn't even go get a tree until a few days before Xmas, one time
I believe on Xmas Eve day, and I prefer it that way. The other way
around, I'm just friggin' fed up and and SCREW YOU AND YOUR HAPPINESS.
I really do like the Holidays, but damn it, I don't want to KNOW about
Xmas before I see Santa at the end of the Thanksgiving day parade.
THEN you're allowed. Isn't that enough? Whatever.
Ummmm. I don't know if everybody saw, but Monday's comic
went up on Tuesday. Which would make it Tuesday's comic, thus rendering
this announcement totally unnecessary. Like how I did that?
ALSO: I was thinking about doing something with the
mailing list, but I don't know what, since I hardly ever send anything
out. Any ideas? An incentive or something? Also, I'm thinking about a
t-shirt sale so I can clean out the bags of t-shirts I have. How much
would YOU, o faithful consumer, pay for a Grade D but Edible t? I'm not
thinking of going the Radiohead route, this won't be name your own
price, but I'm thinking a sale might be in order. WRITE ME EMAILZ THEN
I WILL KNOW YOUR THOUGHTS.
