Visit with Santa

Yesterday I took my girls to the local mall for their first ever visit with Santa Claus.

I thought it was going to be a fun, enjoyable experience, but it was anything but.

First, many of the other parents began squawking and complaining to me for reasons unknown to me. Something about being "dressed inappropriately" or something else to that effect. I guess because it was unseasonably warm that day and I decided to take my shirt off. I guess it is considered against the law now. It's still America, isn't it?

That wasn't the real problem. The real problem was when I realized that the Guv'na had passed out (again) underneath Santa's bench and ruined our photo. You can see me in the picture trying to alert the staff that Guv'na was plainly visible under the bench and would someone please get him out from under there.

After The Guv'na was awakened, I asked him what he was doing there in the first place. He said he had wanted to get down there early and be first in line for his kids when the mall opened, and he guessed he had gotten drowsy and had fallen asleep. Needless to say, Guv'na was escorted off the premises by security and his kids never got to see ole' St. Nick. Also, I was asked not to come back next year.

Last time I passed out under Santa's bench, I woke up to find myself naked, inbetween two midget elves, one hand grasping a half pack of Camel filterless, the other, an empty bottle of Tanqueray. I never got to see Santa either.

What was the Guvna planning to ask Santa for??

I want to move to Georgia.

Santa looks like he attended the same party the Guvna did.

Now that is HOT. Rowr!

Apparently Santa's pill habit is not as bad as Guvna's.

I ask for the same thing every year: Three cans of Barbasol and a twin sized bed made of marzipan.

Another example of the liberals attack on CHRISTmas...

How is it (I'm assuming Santa) a LIBERAL attack on CHRISTmas?

Sigh.

I interpreted Jett's statement to mean that the liberals are all "put your shirt on!" and "get that drunk out of here!" type of attitudes towards Christmas.

Ooh, Phil. Your skin is almost as white as Santa's hair. Santa needed shades, I'm sure.

...but oh Siryn does he get bronze in the Summer time.
