Christmas Spirit Blogworld (8)

Most members of the virtual community are off line at the moment where they behave like real people and eat, drink and go to the beach. Some, though, have taken time out to spread the Christmas love around. Tim from Sterne shares some of the insights his family came up with over the turkey this year, such as, 'Australia imports too many things from China. This includes men's casual shoes, Christmas bon-bons, and Chinese people' and 'Minorities - particularly "Arabs" - want to "steal Christmas".' Over at Anonymous Lefty's house Elton John's recent marriage to long-term partner David Furnish seemed to have stirred the pot and a drunken a game of Celebrity Head degenerated into an argument about Gay marriage, 'That was of course at the very end of the evening, so we all went on our happy ways with joy in our hearts and GRIMACES OF MURDEROUS RAGE ON OUR FACES.' Australian group blog Larvatus Prodeo entertains us with a selections of highlights of transcripts from the West Australian courts, which includes such gems as: 'COUNSEL: Are the legs important in BMX riding? WITNESS: Well, they would be most important because they turn the pedals around, yes.' Washington’s political blogger, Wonkette attempts to bring peace by starting a new religion. Our new savior is Butterstick, the panda recently born at the National Zoo. 'But fear not: for, behold, they brought us good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you was born July the ninth in the District of Columbia a Savior, which is Butterstick. . . Glory to the Stick in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.'
