agnostic believer,

agnostic believer,

So you really think that Yahweh, the God of the Hebrews, and Yeshua, the Jewish zombie, are looking out for your best interests? Good luck with that.

Back on topic for a moment...

Christmas Eve exchanging gifts with the family and having a few laughs over sandwiches and other such snack items. Christmas Day enjoying a nice family meal and then lazing around moaning and groaning the rest of the day from having over-stuffed myself. Like a true idiot, however, I will repeatedly go back and forth to the kitchen and continue feeding my face until my wife finally knocks me unconscious with a piece of firewood so that she doesn't have to keep hearing my pathetic moaning and groaning and whining. Good times... Good times... *smile*

Watch out for turkey. It contains chemicals that cause drowsiness and flatulence. Pretty soon you have a room full of snoring farters and farting snorers and your house reeks of the spirit of Christmas passed.

@Algebe Re: Turkey

Mmmmmm..... turrrr-keeeeey..... Mmmmmmm..... *drool* Man, unfortunately for me, I am the only lover of turkey in the house, which means I get vetoed on having turkey during the holidays. It's always ham around here. *sob-sniff-sob-sniff-sniff*

You should try ostrich. Nice

You should try ostrich. Nice meat. Low cholesterol. You'll probably need a bigger oven though.

Family, friends, food (love

Family, friends, food (love cold ham off the bone, prawns) drink (beer), watch a video on the couch, walk along the beach, fall asleep watching the stars.
Happy Festivus all and may your Airing of Greivances be a merry one.

And I just thought I would

And I just thought I would share with you that Australia is the only country in the world that eats it national coat of arms?

Correct Old man, and it

Correct Old man, and it tastes great and is low in cholesterol.

Why we breed cattle that promotes soil erosion in this soil-poor country and not farm kangaroos instead has always bothered me. They breed prolifically. All we need is really really tall fences.

And for the record we don't have emu, the other emblem on the coat of arms, on the menu here, simply because they aren't as numerous....imagine that drumstick!

Old man shouts at clouds's picture
Yes we do have menu here in

Yes we do have menu here in WA quite a few restaurants and the big hotels serve emu on a daily basis,

Do any of them deliver? We

Do any of them deliver? We don't have emu in Sydney, well not in the eateries I frequent at least.

*some time later after one google search......
I obviously don't get out enough, yep, several restaurants over here, burgers too and crocodile as well. Good, another addition to my bucket list.

@Grinseed: "farm kangaroos

@Grinseed: "farm kangaroos instead"

Well apart from the fact that kangaroo meat tastes bloody awful, farming's a good idea. No animal that's farmed goes extinct. New Zealand's national emblem, the kiwi, is reputedly quite tasty, but it's critically endangered. I once suggested to a group of radical greenies in New Zealand that kiwis could best be saved by farming them for meat and eggs. I thought they were going to lynch me. It was like I'd offended their religious beliefs.

I usually just get together

I usually just get together with family, we have a meal and then exchange a few gifts. I am more into festivus.
