Warning : May contain more than your daily recommended allowance of randomness
As someone suggested in a recent comment, here’s a post about Christmas presents that people received this year. So if any of you got any neat gifts or have any funny stories you want to tell others about, you may use the comments section of this post.
The staff here at Buffet o’ Blog have been given a few days off to celebrate Christmas. We’ll be pondering the wonderful gift that Jesus Christ has given us : salvation. We’ll also spend some time with our families, eat a lot, and play new games on Nintendo Wii. (I’ve told Santa some games I want, and I’ve been good, so hopefully he got the memo.)
So there may be a few days between posts. It’s just temporary — don’t get too concerned. Of course we care about your withdrawals. But we have to celebrate Christmas, too. If you start missing the Buffet o’ Blog brand of randomness, start going through the archives. There’s been over 200 posts here since we started earlier this year, and I doubt you’ve read them all. Even if some are a few months old, they’re still fresh — we pack them with preservatives and such stuff. And while you’re going through the old posts, go ahead and participate — write some comments. You can comment on any of them, regardless of how old they are. We will read them all. Participating enriches the experience significantly, perhaps even exponentially.
I want to wish all of you a Merry Christmas. Yes, I said the “C” word. Please don’t sue us! Whatever… This is my site, so I’m gonna say what I want. And I’m going to wish you a Merry Christmas. If you’re offended, you should close your browser and go look for a life. But I won’t get all started on that right now, because I have better things to do. We can deal with your immaturity in a later session. Anyway, back to my post…
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
P.S. Jesus is the reason for the season. I know we tend to get silly and random here, but deep down (and discussed further in my other blog), life is all about Jesus.
How about some funny Christmas quotes? Well, they may not all be funny, but they’ll at least be random. Although if you happen to expect it, then it won’t be random. Whatever… Here’s some quotations about Christmas. Enjoy.
Wee fish, ewe, a mare, egrets, moose, panda, hippo, gnu, deer.
(Sung to the tune of “We Wish You a Merry Christmas”)Christmas is weird. It’s the only time of year when we love to sit in front of a dead tree and eat candy out of our socks.
There has been only one Christmas — the rest are anniversaries. ~ W.J. Cameron
I have a long-standing complaint with Christmas… long-standing in check-out lines, that is. ~ Thomas Wayne
What do you call people who are afraid of Santa Claus? Claustrophobic.
Did you ever notice that life seems to follow certain patterns? Like I noticed that every year around this time, I hear Christmas music. ~ Tom Sims
I once bought my kids a set of batteries for Christmas with a note on it saying, toys not included. ~ Bernard Manning
There’s nothing sadder in this world than to awake Christmas morning and not be a child. ~ Erma Bombeck
You know you’re getting old, when Santa starts looking younger. ~ Robert Paul
And the Grinch, with his Grinch-feet ice cold in the snow, stood puzzling and puzzling, how could it be so? It came without ribbons. It came without tags. It came without packages, boxes or bags. And he puzzled and puzzled ’til his puzzler was sore. Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn’t before. What if Christmas, he thought, doesn’t come from a store. What if Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more. ~ Dr. Seuss
Almost everyone would like to have lots of money. It just makes life easier. Plus there’s some stuff I’d like to buy that just isn’t in the budget (or “spending plan”, if you prefer that terminology). And so people look for “get rich quick” schemes, often making other people rich when falling for gimmick plans.
Well, I’ve found a readily-available substance that is more valuable than gold and diamonds. Too good to be true, you might be thinking. Well, it kinda is. There’s plenty of it, but the difficulty in acquiring it is what makes it valuable. Finding it is easy (in a way), because you can find it all around the world. But catching some of it is quite the achievement.
So what am I talking about? Do I even know? 😮 Yes, of course I know what I’m talking about. It’s lunar meteorites. Basically, that’s a fancy term for chunks of the moon. Yep, a piece of the moon is more valuable than gold or diamonds. Check out these stats (referencing here) :
{
Samples (end cuts, slabs, chips, crumbs, dust) of lunar meteorites sell on the Internet (e.g., eBay) for between about $800 and $40,000 per gram, depending upon rarity (perceived or real) and demand. By comparison, the price of 24-carat gold is about $20 per gram and gem-quality diamonds start at $1000-2000/gram.
}
Obviously, the difficulty is in getting some. It’s still quite expensive to go to the moon, and finding them in your yard is not a common thing. Hence the high value of them. But I’ve directed our official Buffet o’ Blog R&D department to find an affordable way to acquire some. Even if it costs quite a bit initially, the rocks would soon pay for it. If a gram can go for as much as $40,000, imagine how much a whole rock would be worth!
I know, some people are thinking this is impossible. You’re just saying that because no one is doing it. You may also be thinking it’s silly. Well, it may be, but it’s an ingenious get-rich-quick scheme, you have to admit. Have you ever heard this before? I didn’t think so.
(BTW, if you want to be part of this project, send us some money and we’ll give you a cut of the riches.) 🙂
