I have a 3 year old that loves the Frozen series. It's actually decent.

Your meme reminds me of Olaf (the snowman) trying to learn Christmas traditions and finds a family decorating a tree with candles.

"So you chop down a tree and decorate its corpse with candles? . . . I love it."

I can hear Rick Flair Woo-ing now haha

True story.

Growing up in Charlotte, Ric Flair shopped in the grocery store I worked for. I’d pack his groceries ( yeah, I know that I teed that up ) and loaded them curbside. He always tipped me $10. For a 15 year old kid making $3.35 an hour, it was huge. I became a fan for life.

Woooo indeed!!

That is awesome. The radio station i listen to has a morning show that has a Woo Wednesday. Love it!

Looks like USPS in Texas doesn't mess around and my package made it safely in less than a day! My santa gifted me more than I could ask for - plenty of good tobacco and a note that made it all the better. I'm enjoying the molto dolce as I type this (and I'm not sure why any one gives it grief, it is delicious)! Other tins with some age I can't wait to crack! Definitely out did himself! Happy Advent and Merry Christmas! Looking forward to the 1897 especially!

I just saw online that he sued Mariah over the use of this song.

Wow, wonder what’s going to happen.

I think he dropped it not long ago.

Just got home from a big band holiday concert, nice mix of jazz/swing/modern/sacred --- time to recharge for tomorrow's Santa thread viewing and further Secret Santa research.

We just accidentally went to a shopping mall. I heard the same Mariah Carey song 3 times in half an hour. I now understand your guys’ disdain. I truly feel for ya.

Complete non sequitur @Ahi Ka , but I thought you might enjoy this about some of your WW2 air force vets:

This is awesome!!! My gramps wasn’t in WWII, he was in the Korean War, but he used to work on corsairs. He loved them!! I know it wasn’t meant for me, but thank you for sharing this, makes me think of my gramps.

I am happily addicted to this thread. It’s a positive force in the universe!

Remember when you bury a body plant endangered plants on top.
That way it will be illegal to dig up.

Oops sorry wrong forum.

So I decided a better way to say thank you to Secret Santa is put some gifts to work! Some well aged F&T CVP in the Peterson SH Strand. Love the shape, love the tobacco! Now back to research - looks like I’ll have to resort to 4Noggins to see if those old and famous blends of “Doodly-Squat” and “Buzzards & Worms”’ can be found - hate paying $1500 for them, but they seem to fit my match’s (poor dumb b_______d’s) profile!
