Santa’s coming…

…and he looks hungry.

Ta da! After a couple of years of Zombie Santa Christmas cards, I decided to go with feral Santa this year. Obviously, it works better in color.

I’m not trying to sell you stuff. I’m just putting this link up here to get it into the search engines in plenty of time for Christmas.

I’d rather have you guys as readers and commenters than customers.

Please stop destroying my fond childhood memories. They’re the only thing that the Left hasn’t yet taxed, nationalized, or redistributed.

Holy shite!

Reminds me of a childhood friend who’s parents told her if she wasn’t asleep when Santa came, he’d scratch out her eyes.

No kidding. Scratch. Out. Her. Eyes.

Can you even begin to imagine the terrors Christmas held for that kid? The laying fitfully, horrifyingly awake, pleading with God to grant you sleep, all the while knowing that SANTA IS COMING TO TOWN.

When I told people Santa was a monster, nobody believed me. Now who’s ‘insane’?

My mommy always told me there were no monsters… No REAL monsters, but there are… Aren’t there?

LOL

Pfft. Santa drives a van, plays drums in a metal band, & rapes children.

Personally, I think dressing Cupid up like he’s from ASSASSINS CREED would be good to…

If you like feral Santas, I heartily recommend “Rare Exports”, a darkly funny Finnish film. Sample safety video here: http://vimeo.com/16878867

One question. Did Santa go Vampire, or Loup Garou?

One gets the feeling that Will Ferrell didn’t quite explore the full implications of being a human raised by Christmas elves.

Sweas, you could probably write a creepy kids’ book. “My Mama Says” is actually kind of scary but still one of my favorites. “Where the Wild Things Are” is also kind of scary, as is “Outside Over There”. There’s definitely room for WTFery in the kids’ book genre.

EDIT: Also, I’m not sure I want to know what search terms will lead someone to a feral Santa Christmas card…

Mrs. Peel–Where the Wild Things Are scary? Mm. Take a VERY CLOSE LOOK at the skin on the wild things. Just not scary–but very subtle on Sendak’s part.

My word, it IS much creepier in color!

Scuba: Trust me, there ARE monsters out there. One Christmas morning, my Field Training Officer, who taught me how to be a Badger, found Santa beaten to death in a park shelter. He had gone to the Christmas party where he worked dressed as Santa, and made the mistake of flashing the cash in his Christmas Bonus in the wrong bar afterwards. So, yes, there ARE monsters out there.

“Oooo…wait’ll I get to the Easter Bunny!”

LOL

Tim: Follow. But! Follow only if ye be men of valor! For the entrance to this cave is guarded by a creature so foul, so cruel, that no man yet has fought with it… and lived! BONES of full fifty men lie *strewn* about its lair! So! Brave knights! If you do doubt your courage or your strength, come no further, for death awaits you all with nasty, big, pointy teeth…

Christmas has come early for me. All these obama supporting generals have been caught with their pants down. 🙂

Ladies and gentlemen et al – I need your assistance please. As I imagine is the case with many of you l am currently not reading any news or political sites. This leaves me somewhat a loss for reading material and thus on a whim I went to The Gutenburg Project and pulled up a Sherlock Holmes story, “A Scandal In Bohemia”.

Herein lies my problem. In one scene in the story Holmes wishes for Watson to create a distraction for him at a critical moment. He gives Watson ” an ordinary Plumber’s smoke rocket with a cap on each end” which Watson is to throw through an open window and then shout “fire!”.

I have logic’d out (Gangham, er Sherlock, style) , that this thing must be some sort of smoke bomb and that the “caps” must be rifle percussion caps which upon srtiking a hard surface will spark and trigger the ‘rocket’

However the phrase “ordinary Plumber’s smoke rocket” has wormed its way into my brain. ‘Ordinary’ suggests ‘common’, but WTF does a plumber need a ‘smoke rocket’ for, what does he do with one often enough to make it ‘ordinary’?

I realized that to find an answer, I need a group which contains people who know British Culture, Sherlock Holmes, and explosives. It wouldn’t hurt to have someone old enough to remember the Victorian age either, and for that matter people with experience throwing things through windows…

So collective brain, I implore ye: why on earth did (does?) an English plumber need “an ordinary smoke rocket”?

Scuba – true fact – I play on a hockey team called the Killer Rabbits.

Anyone else thinking of Futurama with this card?

Heh. Reader LesterIII sent me this pic of him ‘n’ Vampire Santa.

Santa is Sal Lizard, an actor who does the Santa gig a lot. Doesn’t really show in this pic, but apparently his costume includes black whole-eye contacts. Spooky!
