About the Holiday wishes message banner

Ramadan 2010 was August 11 through September 9.

Ramadan 2011 will be August 1 through August 30.

So you're either very early or very late.

(sorry...such things bug me).

It's a Krusty the Klown quote.





I don't believe in signatures.

I know it is. Doesn't bug me any less. And I didn't even mention the lack of solstice greetings

I'm just staying faithful to the quote and the fact that this is the third or fourth year I've put up the greetings. I know about Ramadan, GOSH.

The entire country around you just worshipped a bunch of trees, put up wreaths, burned yule logs and cooked hams. You don't need any more solstice greetings from me.

And don't think I don't take great delight in telling folks if they got rid of all MY stuff they'd have plenty of room for Christ in their Christmas. Ain't no reindeer in the desert.....

I remember doing a paper on the origins of Christianity and finding it hilarious how their strategy was essentially: "We want people to convert to our religion, so why don't we just steal a bunch of shit from pagans that people would like"

Pretty damn brilliant of them.





@townofdalem you're awesome #fact

Yeah, and also not very original. People steal from religions all the time to convert the folks they just conquered. That's how the Romans got gods for every hour of the day and day of the week and a million other things into their pantheon.
