Seasonal change

[steev]

For those of us of Jewish persuasion: Happy Chanukkah!

For those of us of Christian persuasion: Merry Christmas!

For those of us of my persuasion (observational reality) Happy Impending Solstice; may the Light return to us all. Those of us in SoHem: dammit, you complicate seasonal greetings but best wishes for abundant seasonal harvests anyway, even if you are bassackwards.

How come I don't have a handle on the Hindus and Buddists? I think I'm kind of down with the Parsees (Indian Zoroastrians), although I think I'd prefer an un-embalmed dirt-nap to being eaten by vultures; they no longer do that BTW, but my point remains: no pickling, no canning; no cellar.

I just want to be stuck in the ground for the benefit of the ecosystem which has fed me; seems only fair.

LOL. We live in the age of easy software translation, so I hope that I can just say "Merry Christimas!" to people and they will translate to the locally appropriate well wishes.

But then scattered about the countryside as bird shit has benefits to the ecosystem as well steev.

'to get merry' in this part of the world means getting pissed, so by saying 'Drunk Christmas'...?, why thank you, i think i will.

[steev]

Yesss; I can see someone looking at his windshield and saying "Oh, wow! That's steev!"

BTW, vultures do indeed do the deed while airborne, whereas pigeons don't; that's the sort of thing one notices, if of a zoological bent.

"Drunk Christmas"?; all the better to be mournful at the passing of the old year, if one overindulges.

To be so indigestible that one remains recognizable

There are those that can't stomach me, I suppose, mostly of delicate constitution.
