This is the thread where I say things and maybe other people say things too

Today a case of Romaine is $24.95 and a case of Iceberg is $62.95.

I wonder how places like souplantation or sweet tomatoes are able to stay in business during these crazy times...

We used to eat there once a week because our daughter loves their Mac and cheese..., but we haven’t been there since the fiasco.

Yearly plans!
Quarterly evaluations!

About the known cow, just in case.

We had a drought last summer, some lost all their crops.
So hay prices were expected to rise too much and dairy farmers had to cut some throats.

Later on the sun has been generally elsewhere.

Apparently I've been in the dark about some Christmas traditions until recently. I didn't know what these are:

-Advent Calendar
-Christmas Cracker
-White Elephant
-Elf on a Shelf

but I do know what they are now, after reading about them. Am I the only one?

[George]

I know about all of those except the Christmas Cracker.

Is that another nickname for jolly old Saint Nick?

People without young kids might not know about Elf on a Shelf. It's a little elf who sits on a shelf in your house watching the kids to make sure they're being good. He reports directly to Santa Claus, so you'd better watch out; you'd better not cry, and so forth.

Yeah, Christmas Cracker is new to me. Hope it's better than a Soggy Cracker.

[speedpimp]

Only thing I know about Advent Calendars is that you can get one filled with whiskey.

And if you're on a radio show that doesn't broadcast on weekends, and ends before Christmas, you have to make up for all the lost days.

cracker - as in two people pull on it and it goes bang?
Also known as bon-bon

Wow - they are an essential part of xmas, where else do you get a crappy paper crown, plastic trinket and some dad jokes?
