Weird Presents Anyone?

g8way writes "Now that Christmas is about, it's time for presents. A joyous occasion with much drinking, fruitcake, and butt-ugly sweaters. What's the weirdest gift you've gotten so far? Personally, I got toothpaste, tic-tacs, deodorant, and a McDonalds coupon book in the same package. What's your story of Christmas present mayhem?"

    I'm sorry if I don't use the metric system, a system that requires conversion when dealing with anything related to hard drive storage, not just my blasphemous non-metric computer.

    Well, Christmas is all about forgiveness. Or is that Easter? One of those pagan festivals, anyway ;)

    Put on your yarmulke
    Here comes Chanukah
    So much funukah
    To celebrate Chanukah
    Chanukah is the festival of lights
    Instead of one day of presents, we have eight crazy nights

    When you feel like the only kid in town without a Christmas tree
    Here's a list of people who are Jewish just like you and me

    David Lee Roth lights the menorah
    So do James Caan, Kirk Douglas, and the late Dinah Shore-ah

    Guess who eats together at the Carnegie Deli
    Bowser from Sha Na Na and Arthur Fonzerelli
    Paul Newman's half Jewish, Goldie Hawn's half too
    Put them together, what a fine lookin' Jew

    You don't need "Deck The Halls" or "Jingle Bell Rock"
    'Cause you can spin a dreidel with Captain Kirk and Mr. Spock- both Jewish

    Put on your yarmulke
    It's time for Chanukah
    The owner of the Seattle Supersonicahs
    Celebrates Chanukah

    O.J. Simpson, not a Jew
    But guess who is? Hall of famer Rod Carew- he converted
    We got Ann Landers and her sister Dear Abby
    Harrison Ford's a quarter Jewish- not too shabby

    Some people think that Ebenezer Scrooge is
    Well he's not, but guess who is
    All three Stooges
    So many Jews are in showbiz
    Tom Cruise isn't, but I heard his agent is

    Tell your friend Veronica
    It's time to celebrate Chanukah
    I hope I get a harmonicah
    On this lovely, lovely Chanukah
    So drink your gin and tonicah
    And smoke your marijuanikah
    If you really, really wannakah
    Have a happy, happy, happy, happy Chanukah
    Happy Chanukah

    Wait 30 minutes to see what posts get moderated up and which post is first.

    Look at the content of a highly moderated post farther down on the page and regurgitate it as a reply to a first post.

    It looks like it's an original thought and it's at the top of the page!

    If a post has nothing to do with the parent post, don't moderate it up. Chances are it's redundant from something posted earlier but farther down.

    You should have posted to the real first post (and changed the title so it's not "re:") which is most likely moderated at a -1. Then it looks like you post is the parent post to those who don't browse at that level. Badabing! First Post. Without even trying.
