It's considered a staple in Hawaii - the local McD's have fried spam and eggs on their breakfast menu! (no joke - at least the one in Waimea, Big Island does...)

Hawaiians have no taste buds? I never knew that!

They gave us Hawiian pizza. QED.

I saw mommy kissing santa claus
right before she shot him
and burried him in the backyard.

It could have been worse...Some people obviously have problem with their inner images.

BTW, don't you guys know that there is two more weeks till Christmas?

Ah, well...guess I'll just drift with the tide...

Marry Xmas all...

Actually, Jesus was probably born in April, iirc... (shepherds in Palestine don't tend flocks in the field except in April and October, and there is evidence based on what ancient Astrologers thought that he was born in April (again iirc). Heck, they couldn't even get the YEAR right - i doubt the date/day of the celebration is accurate. But, as you say - you go with the flow...

Good thing about these differences is that we get prolonged holidays.

There is "Catholic" Christmas...then international New Year...then Ortodox Christmas...then Serb New Year...

I seem to remember reading or possibly imagining something similar somewhere.

OK - here is the weirdest thing i've come across in a while:

"UCSC's mascot is the banana slug (specifically, Ariolimax dolichophallus[27]). In 1981, when the university began participating in NCAA intercollegiate sports, the then-chancellor and some student athletes declared the mascot to be the "sea lions." Most students disliked the new mascot and offered an alternative mascot, the banana slug. In 1986, students voted via referendum to declare the banana slug the official mascot of UCSC�a vote the chancellor refused to honor, arguing that only athletes should choose the mascot. When a poll of athletes showed that they, too, wanted to be "slugs," the chancellor relented. A sea lion statue can still be seen in front of the Thimann Hall lecture building."

Even stranger is the slug itself: it is hermaphroditic and has been reported to practice apophally...

EDIT: after thinking about a "delicate" way to define apophally, i've decided on "biting the male member"...

i don't think the student body was really aware of the mating habits of the Banana Slug before they picked this one...
