the researchers are going crazy in mordor. Their latest success is this:
That subtle 'Christmas Spirit' that is in fact a cheap imitation that is bent on subverting teh real Christmas Spirit. It manifests itself in such things as:
Fake Chirstmas trees.
Christmas sweaters with pom-poms sewn on the front.
Fake powdered Christmas drinks.
Blow up Christmas things for your yard. how tacky can you get. (it's even worse because they deflate every night, turning into a blob of colored plastic on front laws)
Far overdone Christmas decorations. These include large signs, too many, too flashing lights, randomly flashing lights, sleighs on the roof, etc.
Not related to Christmas is snow that is threatening to snow you in when you paid 30 bucks for a Trans-Syberian Orgestra ticket, but wouldn't show up a week earlier.
