Santa causes young children to smoke??? Really???
Before I start on that rant, a few house cleaning chores…
The Cleveland Browns has won it’s second game this season. And apologies to promisesunshine, The Ohio State Buckeyes won. And it’s still raining here in North East Ohio.
And I hate Cartoon Network for only showing two episodes each of Young Justice and Green Lantern The Animated Series and saving them until next year. Great way to build up viewership that way… Oh and The Justice League Of America movie is due out the same year as The Avengers new movie. And no one has an idea the line up for the JLA movie. And as much as I want to see the new Iron Man movie, Ben Kingsley as The Mandarin??? You mean they couldn’t find a great Chinese actor to play the part??? Does Chow Young Fat ring any bells??? The comic book/movie nerd is at odds with it’s self over this one. But will still see the movie. The trailer was awesome. For the new Iron Man movie…
Any hoo…
I was at yahoos’ web site and came across the story about someone banning/editing the Santa Clause image. Ya know the one with him with a pipe in his mouth? Apparently some one has their undies in a bunch and thinks that’s a bad role model for smoking. Smoking?!?!?!?! Yeah, seeing a fat dude dressed in red with a pipe makes me want to light up a smoke.Not to mention Breaking and Entering to put toys and goodies. (Not to mention how’s making/paying for all that stuff) Using him to peddle cigarettes I have a problem with. But in no time did Santa put a pack of smokes in my stocking and say light up. Are we getting this PC about life as we know it now? And this coming from me who used to smoke a pack and a half a day. And have quit three years ago. It’s bad enough the Christmas Holiday is being shoved down our throats to buy buy buy as soon as possible. And when did K-Mart start pushing Christmas Decorations in the middle of September? There are times I just want to shut myself off from the world when I see things like this. And my dad wonders why my blood pressure is as high as it is… Look out Frosty The Snowman, they’re going to gunning for you next. Or anyone else that some one will be offended by…
The Xangans on the East Coast of the country… If I hear one more weather twit showing me graphics on how bad it may get I’m going to stop watching the news cast. When it keeps raining past twenty days straight, then I may worry some. But come on now. In this age of instant everything, if one doesn’t have a clue to prepare for this kind of weather… And just in time for lousy weather, gas prices jump forty cents a gallon in my area. And everyone is buy gas powered generators. Because God Forbid you should have you toys: I.E. internet, cell phone etc go down. Me, I candles galore, plenty of snacks and books. But I get to go out into that mess tomorrow and the rest of the week. Going to work and all that. One more week and it’s a week of paid vacation. If I make it to WV is another story. If it’s nice next week, a lot of outside work has to be done before Old Man Winter comes charging in…
To those of you out there in the path of the storm… Hope you are safe. And stay warm and dry.
Time for some dinner that includes fresh chili and cornbread.

Great minds! We just had chili & cornbread! I love this time of the year.
I hate the fact that people will take up a charge against such inane things. I’ve NEVER smoked, but I always saw Santa with a pipe. Never made me feel like lighting up. These people must think that it’s easy to brainwash children. I’m just saying, if that could be done, then brainwash them to keep their rooms clean, do their homework, and stay out of trouble. Kids learn from their parents and their peers. Not from photos of Santa Claus.
I have nieces that live on the East Coast. Neither one has really become overly worried about “the storm”. You just have to take what comes.
Hope this is an easy week for you. Take care.
i’m having yesterday’s leftover chili. yep, i heard the buckeyes won. i almost had a ticket to go to the game. that might have been fun. not.
people are stupid. it’s a pipe. kids don’t even know what the heck a pipe is. they can’t make a connection between a pipe and smoking. good point about frosty. he has a corncob pipe. why is that ok?
you have vacation coming up? you lucky dude. i’m in the “buy booze” part of the hurricane path.
Your blogs and its stuff are so notable and worthwhile it can make me return.
