Gravatar Hey, come on. She said that whole "dig it" thing was just a joke. I mean, what is it with all you jack-booted thugs that you can't forgive, and—more importantly—forget?


Gravatar Or maybe it was satire, like Benjie was so good at. Fork salute!


Gravatar "Instauration" mean to set up equipment where it needed.


Gravatar Yeah, satire. That's the ticket....


Gravatar Hung Lo, if you're not Snapple, please be advised that the position of comments-pedant on this blog has been filled for many centuries now.

JWP: Did you know what instauration meant w/o looking it up, you old word-gink, you? Don't lie. If I detect a falsehood, you will instantly be instaurated.


Gravatar Western milksop. How I hate you for your round eyes, your lack of subtlety, and your joined-together writing.


Gravatar Nope, jgm, I had to look it up. Fun and totally useless new word—my favorite!


Gravatar I see that the instauration of your Caga Tio went well.

Gravatar Beating an adorable fluffy turd with a stick... man, that just screams holidays.

I believe I'll stick with the Airing of Grievances and the Feats of Strength.


Gravatar It is a log. Like a Yule log. Like a Christmas tree.

You keep it warm and feed it, like leaving cookies for Santa by the tree.

You tap it softly (watch the parents demonstrate) until the end when you sing "caga tio" and give it a good whack. The log magically produces presents.

It goes back to pagan times when yule logs were associated with magical powers.

When people had fireplaces, they would stick the end of the log into the fire and sing the song for presents of food. Now they tap the log with sticks.

The Germans gave us the Christmas tree with candles on it that magically produced presents.

The French make a log cake, Buche de Noel, and eat it.

All of these customs go back to the pagans gathering around a bonfire to celebrate the winter solstice.

Now we have electricity, so we have twinkle lights.


Gravatar Oh, caga is a "log" all right, but not the kind you're thinking of, Snaps.


Gravatar I understand perfectly what it means: the log "poops" out presents. I know the words of the song. I just chose not to focus on the eschatalogical aspect and think of the magical qualities of the yule logs.

Santa magically puts presents under the tree, too.


Gravatar Wrong word there, snaps. Oh, wait, "eschatology" does mean "end times." Get it? Ha! Damn. What am I doing with you losers?


Gravatar End times?

Oh, I get it.

End.

Rear end.

The part that excretes poop.

Heh.


Gravatar Snaps! Why aren't you acknowledging your misuse? You point out everyone else's.


Gravatar Listen up Mr. Hankey,

I've read a bit of Luther, so I know the difference between scatological and eschatological.

Just playing the "strait man" so I could watch you and Mr. Paine make fools of yourselves. You two seem to need someone to call stupid, and I felt like killing two turds with one groan.
