Party!

The Nights Before Christmas All Around JU

“T’were some nights before Christmas
Bloggers ‘round JU
Superficially speaking,
Some in jest, some insane, save a few.”

Or so could’ve this adapted bastardized version of Clement Clarke Moore’s famous poem purportedly written for his two daughters, Margaret and Charity in 1822, (“A Visit From St. Nicholas”), began. If we were to accept investigative author Don Foster’s conclusion (“Author Unknown: On the Trail of Anonymous”,2000) , however, Major Henry Livingston Jr. was the more probable author . But anyways, I think I was able to sample life here at JU long enough to be able to comment on the bloggers I’ve encountered. You know, it’s like a yearender meeting or office party if you like. You certainly meet all kinds . Jeez. Some real bizaare ones, but deep inside sincere. Even the uptight ones are real interesting and insightful. Then we have some exceptional ones that really magnetize the whole JU community with the pathos of life’s ups and downs.

Wouldn’t it be great if I could just open my doors here for a modest Christmas party ? Nothing luxurious. Just beer, red wine , champagne whisky and cognac for starters.We can load in fruit juices too. I needn’t mention the food on the table coz’ it’s your favorite caterer. Cordon bleau. Caviar. You know, ordinary things you can imagine. Little smooth jazz music to lighten up.

I’ll be preparing presents. Oh yeah, I didn’t get to meet everybody, but as long as you blog on JU, you’re welcome to drop by so we can get to know you better . If you did drop by and were asked to exchange gifts with your favorite blogger, what kind of gift for which blogger would you bring.? Of course everyone gets a complimentary cyber-memento.

Right now, I’m wrapping up up this (?) Hannukah candlestick holder for Manopeace…let’s see.. a straitjacket for Kingbee (reminiscent of old times)…CD with Songs by Jimmy Durante (“Make Someone Happy”..”If I Had You”) for T.W’hine. A Book for Stevendalus, “What Me Worry?” by Mad Max (autographed). What else.. a Darth Vader headgear for…L’il Whip (laser saber excluded, until after the party)..The women are difficult..spa gift certificate for Dharmagirl and South Sea pearls for Mignuna .or is the other way around ? Oh well.. A bottle of Tequila Cuervo for Draginol with which he can toast me with. Oh, this is just a guess.. a 2005 calendar featuring the world’s ten sexiest women for T_Bone / SSg Geezer and golf balls for Dr, Guy or is it the other way around ? I know there’s a lot more ...Uh-Oh ,the door bell’s ringing. ..
Who could it be ?

altho this hardly constitutes a present--and (be warned) it's not at all merry or filled with joy--it occured to me that you might find this interesting (if nothing else)  link

Oh, but it is, Kb. Thanks a lot. It's a significant data source for any student of history and a wealth of background info for anyone who wants to understand where we're at , where we're heading and why.
