Question by OG: Would like to know the name of this board game.?
Each player/team gets an object to describe, however there is a list of words that the player can't use to describe it.

Example: If a player gets "Christmas tree" he can't use the following words:
"tree"
"Christmas"
"decoration"
"green"
"pine"
"needles"

Question by I have an answer !: Can there be a more "clear" description than this ????
A family is at the dinner table. The son asks his father, "Dad, how many kinds of boobies are there?

The father, surprised, answers, "Well, son, there's three kinds of breasts. In her twenties, a women's breasts are like melons, round and firm. In her thirties to forties, they are like pears, still nice but hanging a bit. After fifty, they are like onions."

"Onions?"

"Yes, you see them and they make you cry."

This infuriated his wife and daughter so the daughter said, "Mum, how many kinds of 'willies' are there?"

The mother, surprised, smiles and answers, "Well dear, a man goes through three phases - each like a different type of tree. In his twenties, he is like an oak tree, mighty and hard. In his thirties and forties, it is a birch, flexible but reliable. After his fifties, it is like a Christmas tree."

"A Christmas tree?"

"Yes, dead from the root up and the balls are for decoration!!!"

Will you celebrate this Christmas with a Yule Log or an Ashen Faġġot?

Question by Rusty Tater ©: Will you celebrate this Christmas with a Yule Log or an Ashen Faġġot?
The Ashen Faġġot is a very old Westcountry tradition that at one time was widely seen on Dartmoor. The custom is considered to date back to Saxon times, however it is thought to have come from Scandinavia who at their feast of 'joul' would burn huge bonfires in honour of their god Thor. The ash tree was regarded as the 'tree of life' in Norse mythology. Sabine Baring Gold in his novel 'Glámr' describes an early instance of the tradition:

"Christmas Eve! How different in Saxon England! There the great ashen faġġot is rolled along the hall with torch and taper; the mummers dance with their merry jingling bells; the boar's head with gilded tusks, "bedecked with holly and rosemary," is brought in by the steward to a flourish of trumpets."

The custom was that a faġġot (bundle of ash sticks) was bound with nine green lengths of ash bands or 'beams', preferably all from the same tree. The 'Christianised version of the use of ash was that it was the wood that Mary used to light the fire in order to wash Jesus. In Romany lore it was thought that Jesus was born in a field and that he was kept warm by the heat of an ash fire. The holly, ivy and pine trees hid the infant and were allowed to keep their foliage all year where as the oak and the ash showed where he was hiding and they were condemned to die every winter. On Christmas Eve the faggot was put on a fire that had been lit with the remnants of the previous years faggot. Everybody would then gather around the hearth and eagerly watch it burn. Any unmarried woman that was present would each chose one of the green bands and it was believed that the woman who selected the first band it ignite and break would be the next to get married. In some places, every time a binding band broke a a quart of cider would be passed around and a toast would be made. It was believed that any household that did not burn the ashen faggot would be in for a years worth of bad luck and misfortune.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: November 9, 2006

An Important Battle is Won in the War on Christmas
Wal-Mart Will Stop Censorship of Ads and Greetings

Orlando, FL - Wal-Mart has finally admitted that censoring Christmas is not a good idea. After experiencing a backlash last Christmas season from unhappy customers and facing frustrated employees, some of whom turned to Liberty Counsel for help, Wal-Mart retreated from its use of "Happy Holidays" and will let employees greet shoppers with "Merry Christmas."

"We, quite frankly, have learned a lesson from last year," said spokeswoman Linda Blakely of Wal-Mart in an interview with USA Today news. Blakely claims Wal-Mart will say "Merry Christmas" early and often. Wal-Mart will be playing Christmas carols now through the end of the year.

The world's largest retailer told its associates at a recent conference that it will bring back the Christmas pitch in an attempt to be the leader in this year's sales. Wal-Mart's advertising will announce "Christmas" and its decorations department will change from "The Holiday Shop" to "The Christmas Shop."

Liberty Counsel, a nationwide, public interest civil liberties law firm, launched its fourth annual "Friend or Foe Christmas Campaign" this year and is already receiving many consumer complaints about stores refusing to recognize the Christmas holiday. On its web site, www.LC.org, Liberty Counsel offers a Help Save Christmas™ action pack, which includes educational legal memoranda to educate government officials, teachers, parents, students, private businesses, employees and others that it is legal to celebrate Christmas. The action pack also includes a very popular "I LOVE CHRISTmas™" button.

Anita Staver, President of Liberty Counsel, commented: "We are glad that Wal-Mart stopped censoring Christmas. Wal-Mart should have realized it cannot censor Christmas and would have avoided the wrath of the public. To those that claim there is no war against Christmas in America, Wal-Mart is 'Exhibit A' in our 'Friend or Foe Christmas Campaign'. We are having a tremendous response when we ask the public to report a 'grinch' in their community. Wal-Mart has been removed from our 'grinch' list."

Mathew Staver, Founder and Chairman of Liberty Counsel, noted: "Last year our 'Friend or Foe Christmas Campaign' ignited a movement to restore Christmas. Retailers that attempt to profit from Christmas while pretending it does not exist will no longer be patronized. The tsunami of voices fed up with the secularization of Christmas was heard loud and clear, from city hall to the world's largest retailer. I am pleased that Wal-Mart will recognize Christmas this year. Now that the number one retailer has abandoned its generic 'Happy Holidays' greeting in favor of 'Merry Christmas,' other retailers no longer have an excuse to run from Christmas."

Question by Bella Swan: Hey does this sound like a good young adult novel?
As I sat in the middle of my room boxes surrounded me. I was debating to take my winter jackets because, honestly I don't think I would need them in hottest state in the country."The boxes won't pack themselves."my father said in the door way. "I know but, when you don't want to leave it makes it harder."."Then why are you?"he said while taping up an old box of corny christmas decorations. "I don't want to Dad, I have to. I have to do this for me.". He just shook "I am sorry for what happened to you Kelsey but, you shouldn't let it take over your life."."Dad please I really dont want talk about this i just want to move and forget about everything this year."."Okay.Night"he said. What I said was the truth I was going to miss my friends, my dad, and the small Minnesota town i had lived in my whole entire life but, the memories were to hard for me to deal with. The past is the past and that is where it should stay I thought to myself and dozed off to sleep.

Sorry, but what that sounds like is a paragraph in a novel. What is the premise of the novel?

All I get from it is that a young girl is leaving town because of something that happened, and she's going somewhere as opposite to it as she can.

Sure, what happened is part of the story; you've created some suspense there. But the rest of the book will be about where she's going and what she finds there or what she does. So what's the rest of the book about? No way to tell if it's a good idea without knowing something about that.

{Frankly, Bella Swan, it sounds like an inverted Twilight, which makes me really wonder what you have in mind!)
