Hipbase: T'was the night before X-mas 2005 edition

The names are a love-hate thing since I know people enjoy it, but inevitably somebody feels slighted. I think I'll have to figure out a way to do it without names, or have some kinda "win-to-get-in" trivia deal next year.

I dunno.

I LOVE IT!! A "Win To Get In To Dame's Night Before Christmas Poem" Contest! That is so funny. You should totally do it next year.

Sorry Dame, I was just kidding, I really don't mind at all, it's impossible to put everyone in it and I realize that. You did a great job though!

That was terrific Dame- your underpinning the tradition...

Speaking of amusing christmas stories- has anyone seen the Larry the Cabvle Guy read the PC version of the Night Before Chritmas?

Nice! :thumb:


Stephen,

I have to agree that the "six cases" line is the best/funniest. Your creative and analytical powers are amazing. Thank you for the inclusion in your poem.

No need to apologize, I just feel bad. Last year I got some PM's about "you left me out cause I argued with you" or whatever. I figure if 1 person posts about being left out, 10 people are thinking it. It's just a fun thing, I hope people don't take it seriously, I certainly don't. I just pick names from memory to be honest, or scan the site one day when I need more.

Just wanted to make it clear that it's not a slight if somebody's left out. Smile

No problem man. How could I forget you guys. My friends still talk about "the crazy Hip fan in Wasaga." Whenever I see 'em it's always "talk to Hugh lately?" Smile

Very enjoyable as always Stephen, but I'm not a dude! :lol:

Whoops. Fixed it. Beautiful, it's hard to think straight when thinking of you. Smile

Nice save! :lol: I figured I should address that as I didn't want any nasty rumors to surface Smile

From a spam mail I get everyday:

On This Day: Saturday December 24, 2005
This is the 358th day of the year, with 7 days remaining in 2005.

Fact of the Day: A Visit from St. Nicholas

It has long been thought that Clement Clarke Moore authored A Visit
from St. Nicholas, which was first published in the Troy (New York)
Sentinel, in 1893. The poem begins, " 'Twas the night before Christmas
/ And all through the house." Moore is said to have composed A Visit
from St. Nicholas to amuse his children on Christmas 1822, but, unknown
to him, a houseguest copied it and gave it to the press. Moore took
credit for the work in 1844 after it appeared in his collection Poems.
However, in 1999, descendants of Henry Livingston Jr. claimed that it
was Livingston, not Moore, who wrote the piece. Much scholarly research
supports their claim, but the poem remains cataloged under Moore's
authorship.

Wow, hadn't even though of it this year. I'll get on it. In the mean time, let's have a poll. Is my girlfriend looking insane or blitzed in this x-mas party photo? I'm voting both:
