Happy Holidays,

"Happy Winterval"

Make sure you all take at least 10, 15 minutes to close Firefox and remind yourself what your family look like during the Festive Period

And outliving the primary mission?  That would fall under "Feats of Strength."
Though I shudder at the shipping cost to Mars from http://www.festivuspoles.com/pages/festivuspoles.htm.

You people really are the best. Thanks for putting up with me for so long.

I really wanted to send out some sort of holiday greeting, but it is so difficult in today's world to know exactly what to say without offending someone. So I met with my attorney today, and on his advice I want to say to all of you:

Please accept with no obligation, implied or implicit, my best wishes for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low stress, non addictive, gender neutral, celebration of the winter solstice holiday, practiced within the most enjoyable traditions of the religious persuasion of your choice or secular practices of your choice, with respect for the religious/secular persuasions and/or traditions of others, or their choice not to practice religious or secular traditions at all.

I also wish you a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling, and medically uncomplicated recognition of the onset of the generally accepted calendar year 2006, but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of other cultures whose contributions to society have helped make this planet great (not to imply that Earth is necessarily greater than any other planet nor is it the only other planet in the Universe), and without regard to the race, creed, color, age, physical ability, religious faith, or sexual preference of the wishee.

By accepting this greeting, you are accepting these terms: This greeting is subject to clarification or withdrawal. It is freely transferable with no alteration to the original greeting. It implies no promise by the wisher to actually implement any of the wishes for her/himself or others, and is void where prohibited by law, and is revocable at the sole discretion of the wisher. This wish is warranted to perform as expected within the usual application of good tidings for a period of one year, or until the issuance of a subsequent holiday greeting, whichever comes first, and warranty is limited to replacement of this wish or issuance of a new wish at the sole discretion of the wisher.


Ah Hell................. Have a Merry Christmas!!

...Except for the first line, that was edited and pasted from an email written by some anonymous author.

Oh that's typical of your species! Self self self!
