+joefrog Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 Please accept with no obligation, implied or implicit, our best wishes for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low stress, non-addictive, gender neutral celebration of the winter solstice holiday, practiced within the most enjoyable traditions of the religious persuasion of your choice, or secular practices of your choice, with respect for the religious/secular persuasions and/or traditions of others, or their choice not to practice religious or secular traditions at all. In addition, please also accept our best wishes for a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling and medically uncomplicated recognition of the onset of the generally accepted calendar year 2004, but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of other cultures whose contributions to society have helped make this country great (not to imply that this country is necessarily greater than any other country or area of choice), and without regard to the race, creed, color, age, physical ability, religious faith or sexual orientation of the wishers. This wish is limited to the customary and usual good tidings for a period of one year, or until the issuance of a subsequent holiday greeting, whichever comes first. "Holiday" is not intended to, nor shall it be considered, limited to the usual Judeo-Christian celebrations or observances, or to such activities of any organized or ad hoc religious community, group, individual or belief (or lack thereof). Note: By accepting this greeting, you are accepting these terms. This greeting is subject to clarification or withdrawal, and is revocable at the sole discretion of the wisher at any time, for any reason or for no reason at all. This greeting is freely transferable with no alteration to the original greeting. This greeting implies no promise by the wisher to actually implement any of the wishes for the wisher her/himself or others, or responsibility for the consequences which may arise from the implementation or non-implementation of it. This greeting is void where prohibited by law. Quote Link to comment

+Logscaler and Red Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 Back at yea. But, I was wondering about the "onset of the generally accepted calendar year 2004" part. How about 2005? That would work better for me. I am kinda tired of 2004 and repeating it just might not be the best adventure. Logscaler. Quote Link to comment
kayaker22589 Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 Thanks, but I think the greeting is void here by law. Quote Link to comment

+Big Tom Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 Offended by what?? Quote Link to comment
chemfed Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 I'm being sarcastic. The post by joefrog is a sarcastic attempt at being PC during the Christmas season. I am showing that regardless of what you do, someone will always offended if they are looking to be so. If I was looking to be offended as a Christian, I could say that I resent Christ being taken out of Christmas. No matter where you step, you will always land on somebody's toes! Quote Link to comment

EZ Spinners Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 Thanks Joefrog.... You have successfully identified the present culture of our great nation.... 'The United States of the Offended' ! I, for one, will never, I repeat never, call 'Christmas' anything but 'Christmas'. If this offends anyone, they can take a flying leap up ... you know what! It's a plum shame that a minority of people can control things and that the majority of people let it happen. I know that no matter what is done about most things, not everyone will be pleased about it. Well, that's just too bad. Grow up, get over it and quit ruinin' my life. Remember, it's 'Merry Christmas'... period. PS. Joe, I think David Letterman could use another writer. Very good job at pointing out how to be PC, no matter how true it is. Quote Link to comment

+Doc-Dean Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 In addition, please also accept our best wishes for a fiscallysuccessful, personally fulfilling and medically uncomplicated recognition of the onset of the generally accepted calendar year 2004, I take offense! Are you trying to hurt my business??? Also shouldn't it be 2005? Is this a re-gifted card??!?!?!? Quote Link to comment

The best part of 2004 for us was finding geocaching. It has really added some fun to a very strange year. And for me, I wish that my 911 skills are not needed as we go into the new year. Here's for a boring shift on New Years Eve for all ambulances. Quote Link to comment
+Sputnik 57 Posted December 22, 2004 Share Posted December 22, 2004 I'm only disappointed that there was no mention of the airing of grievances and feats of strength. Quote Link to comment
+Mudinyeri Posted December 22, 2004 Share Posted December 22, 2004 ...you and the horse you rode in on. (That's meant to be a joke, everyone!) WHATEVER you do DO NOT post that in a cache log! You will invite a malestrom of forum posts unlike any seen since the Baron's post only a couple days ago. Whatever you want for whenever you want to you too. Quote Link to comment
+fly46 Posted December 22, 2004 Share Posted December 22, 2004 Have a Cool Yule, and a Frantic First! Hey, that's a BLESSED Yule. That's it. I'm offended, too! *runs and hides under a log* The cords to find me are... N36...... Quote Link to comment
