Take that, Humpty Dumpty

found in How to Construct a Commonplace Book

If language is not correct, then what is said is not what is meant; if what is said is not what is meant, then what must be done remains undone; if this remains undone, morals and art will deteriorate; if justice goes astray, the people will stand about in helpless confusion.

--Confucius

I would love to staple this onto the forehead of just about every media pundit, judge, and politician out there.
Hence there must be no arbitrariness in what is said. This matters above
everything.

Uh Oh, Peony, ^5

Now if giving virtual high fives over geek quizzes isn't geeky, I don't know what is.

You are 30% geek
You are a geek liaison, which means you go both ways. You can hang out with normal people or you can hang out with geeks which means you often have geeks as friends and/or have a job where you have to mediate between geeks and normal people. This is an important role and one of which you should be proud. In fact, you can make a good deal of money as a translator.

Normal: Tell our geek we need him to work this weekend.


You [to Geek]: We need more than that, Scotty. You'll have to stay until you can squeeze more outta them engines!


Geek [to You]: I'm givin' her all she's got, Captain, but we need more dilithium crystals!


You [to Normal]: He wants to know if he gets overtime.

1. Egg nog - yum or yuck? YUM

2. Stay up until midnight on New Years? Nope.

3. Prefer white or colored lights? White.

4. Favorite holiday song. Hark the Herald Angels Sing, with Once in Royal David's City becoming a new favorite.

5. What is your tackiest holiday decoration? A music box shaped like a skating pond. When you wind it up and put the two penguins with magnets on their feet on the mirrored top, they whirl and skate to the music.

6. Do your kids have too much and you wonder just WHY you are getting more?? lol Yes!

7. If you celebrate Christmas, when does your tree go up and come down? We are not putting up a tree this year because we are traveling, but we usually get it right before the fourth Sunday of Advent and leave it up until at least Epiphany.

8. Christmas again - open presents on Christmas eve, morning, or other? I am trying to establish opening presents in the afternoon, after dinner.

9. Favorite holiday tradition? Pizza and Irish Coffee on Christmas Eve.

10. What do YOU want for Christmas? Something there is no chance of my getting.

Thanks to Zelie.
