So come on what would you REALLY like for Christmas, there are a few things I would like, but deep down I would like peace everywhere and everyone just to be content and happy, and of course good music, these things you can't buy with money and they are worth more than anything money can buy. |

16 Dec 02 - 09:26 PM (#848555) Subject: RE: BS: What would you like for Christmas From: Jeri CatsPHiddle don't forget me! I want a 5 string fiddle too! Actually, I don't have money, I don't have relatives (let alone ones with disposable incomes) and my friends don't have any money. In reaction to the lack of money I've developed a lack of concern over not having any. Peace is good, but I'm selfish even if I don't have cash. I want love, I want music, and I want to laugh so hard I get a cramp in my face. |

Finances are a bit grim cos I can't do my usual job which involves driving. AND LOTS OF MUSIC AND LAUGHTER!!!! I believe music can do a lot to heal the world. |

16 Dec 02 - 10:25 PM (#848581) Subject: RE: BS: What would you like for Christmas From: Bee-dubya-ell I would say that I want a five-string fiddle too, but my wife has drawn the line at the fiddle. She has allowed me to learn hammer dulcimer, banjo and Dobro during the time we've been married without giving me too much grief. But, she's already divorced one beginning fiddler and probably wouldn't hesitate to make it two. I guess I'll settle for some new strings for a few of the instruments I've already got. Bruce |

But you know what? I am getting something much better instead -- my best beloved daughter is bound home for Xmas at the end of the week, and it looks like she will be pulling down a very successful first semester at the Conservatory, and my best beloved wife will be by my side, and her Mom's coming over and an array of really fine friends and about ten thousand Sea Monkeys.

As a little extra bonus, I wouldn't mind if everyone in the world could be safe and happy. And warm. Safe, happy, and warm. And well fed. Safe, happy, warm, and well fed. But not too warm. So I'd like the ones in hot places to be cool enough to be comfortable. So that's safe, happy, well fed, and comfortable. That's not too much to ask, is it? Oh, yeah, and I'd like them to be healthy too. That's about it, I think. Thank you very much. |

17 Dec 02 - 06:01 PM (#849213) Subject: RE: BS: What would you like for Christmas From: Cluin To quote Steve Martin: "If I had one wish that I could wish this holiday season, it would be for all the children of the world to join hands and sing together in the spirit of harmony and peace. If I had two wishes I could make this holiday season, the first would be for all the children of the world to join hands and sing in the spirit of harmony and peace. And the second would be for 30 million dollars a month to be given to me, tax-free in a Swiss bank account. You know, if I had three wishes I could make this holiday season, the first, of course, would be for all the children of the world to get together and sing, the second would be for the 30 million dollars every month to me, and the third would be for encompassing power over every living being in the entire universe. And if I had four wishes that I could make this holiday season, the first would be the crap about the kids definitely, the second would be for the 30 million, the third would be for all the power, and the fourth would be to set aside one month each year to have an extended 31-day orgasm, to be brought out slowly by Rosanna Arquette and that model Paulina-somebody, I can't think of her name. Of course my lovely wife can come too and she's behind me one hundred percent here, I guarantee it. Wait a minute, maybe the sex thing should be the first wish, so if I made that the first wish (because it could all go boom tomorrow, then what do you got, y'know?). No, no, the kids, the kids singing would be great, that would be nice. But wait a minute, who am I kidding? They're not going to be able to get all those kids together. I mean, the logistics of the thing is impossible, more trouble than it's worth! So -- we reorganize! Here we go. First, the sex thing. We go with that. Second, the money. No, we got with the power second, then the money. And then the kids. Oh wait, oh jeez, I forgot about revenge against my enemies! Okay, I need revenge against all my enemies, they should die like pigs in hell! That would be my fourth wish. And, of course, my fifth wish would be for all the children of the world to join hands and sing together in the spirit of harmony and peace. Thank you everybody and Merry Christmas. " |

Maybe even more so. I'll just keep on telling him ... And I wish that every awful upsetting headline was followed by one of peace and hope.
