A happy Saturnalia to all, and to all a good night!
I very much enjoyed Adam Cohen's discussion of the origins of Christmas in America for the NYT.
And how will LaBlonde be celebrating Saturnalia '05? I take my suggestions from Seneca the younger, who suggested:
I'm going to assume that "throw off the toga" was a euphamism for "have an orgy with a male-to-ungulate ratio of no less than 2:1", because in ancient Rome, really, what wasn't? I only hope that the Manhattan Home Depot has enough tarps and industrial lubricant in stock for my Christmas- oops, excuse me- holiday party.

It is now the month of December, when the greatest part of the city is in a bustle. ...whether we should eve in our usual way, or, to avoid singularity, both take a better supper and throw off the toga.(Thanks to Wikipedia)

Think about reading this (out later this month): Our novel has a plethora of extremely helpful insights; engrossing wit, sardonic satire; and basically straight-forward-Jesus that’d make anyone realize this is only a test of our Finite Existence (WE alone decide which eternity to go to, Up or Down, because WE alone have free-choice. God Almighty respects U.S. because sHe loves U.S.)
We talk of a Heavenly Scent, an ardent desire with the whiff of a definite locale, while we bolster the Great Beyond with the passion of a magnanimous madman: Full of some gorgeous, panoramic, tall-true-tales that’ll make U.S. yearn and sigh for Heaven Above. A novel of short-stories, quotes, prayers, poetry, heartbreaking/hardcore hilarity, aggressive conundrums from a head-injured-Catholic.
What you’ll find in our wonderful, fruitFULL, dynamic novel is a treasure, unlike any other. If you decide to read this indelible script, here’s the next step: Get in touch with my CPA, Edward Foree, at 1-800-266-9111.
MAY GOD BLESS YOU WITH DISCERNMENT!
I don't know who you are, Koldkadavr, but I have a strong suspicion we've dated.
God bless you, and your CPA Edward Foree on this most deviant of holidays!
