I pit our Xmas tree

ONE POST?!

He’s the Marcel Marceau of the Straight Dope!

Yeah, you Melkorites are always out to mess up Trees! You’d think you’d have learned, after seven Ages of Eru, but no – still the same old thing!

Did the Light go out at the Foot of your tree too?

Get it? Light…Foot. Lightfoot. Gordon Lightfoot. He sang that song.

Sigh.

Huh. Lightfoot. Must have some hobbit blood.

No, he was one of those Lightfoot lads that Housman perved after! :slight_smile:

[elaine]Gordon Lightfoot! I love that song! Didn’t Edmond Fitzgerald sing it?[/elaine]

Just a clarification, please. Do you extract the Yule caviar before or after you hang them ?

Before. Then we ritually treat the caviar with an acidic version of the 5th element (no, not surprise) and serve it at the new year’s celebration.

Do you name it Theodore?

I see, the traditional way then. With what do you serve it and what wine do you personnaly recommend ?

Only after it told them that 99% of their Christmas tree was crap.
