on the verge

seriously, there are few things worse in the world than christmas lights.  for any reason you give me that they are “good” (they make me happy; the bright lights remind me of goodness & joy, yippee!), i can give you ten reasons why they’re bad.  bad for the environment. bad for the economy. bad for my eyesight. bad for the way your house looks.

the one thing that IS actually worse than christmas lights, is christmas lights being hung during the weekend of thanksgiving, before our turkey scraps have even hit the compost bin.  i mean, i can’t stand thanksgiving, but i like it better than christmas lights.  so, at least, can we enjoy our gluttonous, empirical holiday without being reminded of how all of america are big fat capitalist hypocrites, who stole a religious holiday in order to make {even more} money off of it?

GAWD, with a capital G, A, W & D.  somebody give me the # for bournewood; i need to program it into my phone before my downstairs neighbors put a fat man in a sled on our rooftops.
