I think Carol just loves these threads sooooo much that she contributes to keep them alive! What a giving soul. 
We should bake her a cake!
Yes, I know. I really shouldn’t. Drives me nuts, though.
You’ve been around a long time–Do you know who lives in Spain, and whose husband works in a prison?
No, it’s “Let them eat cake”. Her Majesty is one of my heroes. 
I thought the purpose of the Pit was to give people a place to bitch about things? What am I misunderstanding here?
Whoo-ee, somebody’s turkey tryptophan has worn off!
I know that Nava is from Spain, but I don’t know whose husband works in a prison. I know Qadgop himself works in a prison, though. Do some more!
Not currently, but since 2006? There’s been plenty of time not to be a cheapskate freeloader.
Can someone tell me where the holiday mini rants thread is? Usually there’s one around here at this time of year. I thought maybe I’d find it here but this is a thread all about Carol Stream, apparently.
Anyway, my addition to the mini-rants thread is this… Christmas carolers who only know one carol. Seriously, one CAROL?! How does this happen? Did they not go to caroling school? Here they sing outside my door, right passed the bushes and next to the fucking STREAM, an they can’t sing anything but Jingle Bells. Uh, what? Can any one tell me why the hell this IS? How can this be? How can carolers be called carolers if they only know -A- carol? It’s like I want to go out there and kick em all in the CUNT.
I Love You. Oh yes, best movie evah!
Bertha, who’s on the private dole.
Apparently someone tried to invoke the spirit of Christmas Past, when the stores didn’t start their sales and decorating until after Thanksgiving, but used the wrong incantation and mistakenly raised the Christmas Troll. We can only hope that no one sacrifices a goat and eventually the Troll will go off hungry, in search of more fertile fields.
When people know full well that Christmas isn’t my holiday yet wish me a Merry Christmas snidely, I do get upset, because it’s a passive-aggressive smack at my religious choice. I don’t wish people who I know are Christian Chanukah sameach, or tell Buddhists to have a blessed Ramadan. I’m not talking about strangers, I’m specifically irritated by people who know me and know better but think that they’re being cute by making jabs at what’s important to me.
It’s also fairly clueless to be wished a Merry Christmas by a store clerk when wearing a Star of David necklace and buying Chanukah gift wrap, Chanukah gelt and Chanukah cards (this has actually happened to me) but at least that’s just dumb and not a willful insult.
Only Carol Stream is permitted to bitch - no one else.
Carol, we’ve talked about your junior-modding and threadshitting in the Pit before. You didn’t listen. Let me be clear. Don’t threadshit or junior moderate in my forum. As a memory aid and an early Christmas gift to the rest of the Pit posters I banish you from the Pit for two weeks. You may not post in the Pit until noon Eastern Standard Time on Saturday, December 12, 2009. If you do:
- I’ll remove the posts; and
- Your posting privileges here at the Dope may be terminated or suspended.

Wow, Gfactor, you rock!
You know, now I don’t feel ranty at all!

Very clever, but still an attempt to circumvent the rules. Let’s not do this sort of thing again. No warning issued.
