quote [ "...and we started wondering, What does Satan do on Christmas? So we wrote a song about it..." ]
I tend to take a satirical view of Christmas this time of year, so I thought I would start a Christmas humor thread. Take it and run with it.

quote [ ...my feet are tired... ]
I've been traveling a lot the past few years, and now my home is over in the Middle East. I've been sharing these photos with family and friends, and now with you lot as well.
[by granitewitch@10:04amGMT] [+10 Interesting] [41 comments] Unworthy self link, I know. But this is a truly weird place and I'm having a blast. Oh, and keep an eye on it- I'll be posting more pics and some videos as well. I shot a few short clips on the way to Abu Dhabi yesterday. |

quote [ But the president even went a step further last week during his trip to Iowa, revealing to a voter that his campaign bus was stocked with beer that is brewed in the White House. Obama officials have long been tight-lipped about the home-made beer that is reportedly made with honey extracted from the White House gardens, but now home-brewing enthusiasts are hoping to force their hand. ]
Right, let's see Mitt top that.

I'm about to move to UAE. As I understand it, they're pretty harsh about what websites you can visit while you're in their country. Not that I surf loads of porn or anything, but I suspect that sites such as this one will be blocked over there. Can anyone tell he how to get around this?
[sci&tech] [by granitewitch@9:22pmGMT] [+7 Interesting] [76 comments] Also, does anyone in here have firsthand knowledge of UAE? What am I about to walk into? |

quote [ Behold: The Edible Glass Potato Chip
This chip is stunning. It's see-through like no other food. It has the distinct crunch and flavor of a potato chip, but in an unexpected space-age form. ] We need a food category for our posts, dammit...
[art] [by granitewitch@6:24pmGMT] [+10 Interesting] [37 comments] I want to add food coloring to them to make stained glass chips, and maybe try adding some Tabasco and other flavorings as well. |

quote [ What is a good man?
A teacher of a bad man. What is a bad man? A good man's charge. ] No idea how this will be received. I hope that you lot will enjoy it as I have. This particular translation is one that I read a lot during some of my really hard times, and it helped me keep perspective.
[literature] [by granitewitch@5:35amGMT] [+9 Good] [22 comments] Yeah, I know it's a sacred text. Forget about that aspect. Read it as poetry. For such an old text, it has held up pretty well. It still makes me feel at peace to read it. |

quote [ His 5-year-old daughter had gone off toward the barn, to feed the chickens, the child's grandfather told CNN affiliates KSAT and KPRC.
Then her father heard screaming and ran. He found a man sexually abusing his daughter, according to Sheriff Micah Harmon. ] I'm not a violent man, but this would have set me off had it been my daughter. I only regret that the father has to live with the memories of beating the guy to death.

quote [ It's common for people who have been unemployed for six months or longer to show signs of depression, says Diane Lang, psychotherapist based in Livingston, New Jersey. Eating habits focus on comfort foods, leading to binging. Stress, anxiety and negative thoughts make it hard to get a good night's sleep, resulting in fatigue and lethargy. ]
Been over three years for me. How about you lot? And how do you cope with it?
