Good, SS? How does one define "good"? And isn't "good" transitory and in many ways dependent upon the circumstances surrounding one?

I spent the last couple or three days in Provo, Utah, near your hometown of Sandy, Utah (I assume that's why you're called "Sandy" anyway). Since I wasn't in Pocatello, the concept of "good" shifted to what would be considered "good" in Provo. As you know, that's the home of Brigham Young University and the LDS Missionary school. So by rights I shouldn't have consumed alcohol or caffeine and led a life free from "sin". Oh, I just remembered something I did there, so, ah, well....

Anyway, the concept of "goodness" is not only relative to your spatial location, it is also relative to your temporality. I mean, sometimes "good" means not shooting your neighbor, but othertimes "good" means offing the dude, right? So anyway, I haven't busted caps on anybody recently, so I guess I've been good in recent temporality.

So yeah, I guess I've been good, Santa, at least recently in Pocatello.

I think I saw your Pocatello elf the other day. Looks like an elf, anyway, flattened out on I-15. Looked like the ol' elf had been coming from Madame Jinky's Elf Bar & Bordello and didn't quite beat an 18-wheeler across the Interstate. That could be why you haven't had any reports lately. If you ask, the State Police will probably send you the dude's hat; I don't thing you'd want the rest of your ex-elf.
