Batman smells because he never cleans the suit, right?
And is Robin laying an egg just a bird pun, or does it mean he pooped his pants?
And you mean to tell me the Batmobile didn’t have run flat tires? I thought Batman was supposed to be prepared!
I’m starting to think this version of Jingle Bells doesn’t hold up to scrutiny.
What gets me about that one is that, according to the Bible, what the mighty king actually said to the people everywhere was “Let’s kill all of the boys under three years old just to make sure we got this one”. Not exactly “pray for peace”.
Sorry I forgot the /s!
My covid brain is in full swing this week.
We interrupt your post for this important message
Why is or was, Ave Maria so popular?
Does anyone have a clue what the heck they’re saying?
Allied and Axis troops sang it in WWI.
Anyone who attended Catholic high school, and took Latin class, probably does. 
Thankfully, Latin wasn’t required when I attended public high school.
Missed it by about 8 to10 years.
The schools were just beginning to push Spanish when I graduated. I was forced to take it in college.
I had two years of high school Latin.
We learned to sing Jingle Bells in Latin one year and I still remember it.
Tinniat, tinniat tintinnabulum!
We Three Kings - Were the Magi really in such a hurry that they had to traverse the fountains instead of just going around them like normal people?
The Christmas Song - Why does Santa have to load lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh? Can’t the elves do that for him?
Why did “Like George Washington” ever catch on as the final verse of the “call and response” version, when “Like Napoleon” scans so much better?
A Marshmallow World is a peculiar Christmas Song. It’s found on Bing Crosby and Dean Martin’s Christmas albums. It used to be popular.
Is it a sticky world? Marshmallow Fluff gets all over my hands.
It’s the same as when we say any other CEO does something. They do things by telling others to do them.
Strunk & White
Yes. Very much yes.
Snoopy has a private airport, and being similar to a biplane I’m sure he’s only flying visual so no need at all for ATC.
As for the 12 Days of Chirstmas, I saw this joke about the woman liking the gifts then getting pissed at them.
Where does the comma go in “God Rest You Merry, Gentlemen”?
WWi airplanes didn’t even have radios (for most of the war). No one had radar. And “airports” were large flat fields, and they took of in whatever direction the wind was coming from,
Yeah, I dont buy that they are repeated
Manfred von Richthofen: The Red Baron - Biographies by Biographics
Manfred Freiherr von Richtofen (reek-toe-fen), was pretty chivalrous.
One a foe was crippled, he generally stopped shooting.
or German, sometimes it is sung in German.
Snoopy
Didn’t the Red Baron shoot him down? It would be a war crime to shoot at him once he was a non-combatant. All he said, presumably in perfect English, was, “Merry Christmas, my friend!”
If we’re talking about Snoopy being shot down in France in the Halloween special, the same would apply even if the notion of “war crimes” were not a written and signed document.
I know he’d shake his fist at his foe, and often there is a caption, “Curse you, Red Baron!” Yet Sopwith Camels really sucked. A doghouse with wings, propellers and a rifle would be better.
There was quite a lot of chivalry between pilots.
Is it known that he ever shot a pilot crashing to the ground, or if lucky, survived a downing?
What did the Hall family do that makes people want to deck them?
