White Christmas In Antarctica

Posted by timothy on from the plus-they-can-exploit-all-the-time-zones dept.

The idea of a white Christmas may seem magical for many of us, but Science Daily asks you to "spare a thought for a team of scientists forgoing the festive season to take part in a novel campaign being carried out in one of the most inhospitable regions on Earth to support ESA's CryoSat mission." Plenty of people cooped up in the upside-down parts seem to find good ways to amuse themselves; I am especially fond of this introduction to Condition One weather, and Cops McMurdo. If anyone is reading this down there, I hope you're having a nice holiday.

    The perfect holiday for the senior KKK members.

    Brothers, in less than a month the jiggaboo-in-chief takes office. It will be a dark (no pun inteded) time but we must stay pure.

    White Power!

    Obviously, that post was intended to disrespect the parent poster and the troops. Joking about terrorists trying to murder people serving in the military in a thread about wishing people well in Christmas is simply not funny. And I'd direct you to the families of those troops if you disagree.

    The difference is, liberals get offended (or exhibit mock outrage) when there is no bad intent on the part of the offender, even if it is said in private.

      You may leave the shit, but afterwards, the turd fairy (aka Rob Malda) runs in and eats it.
