Yule Log Christmas Open Thread
One Christmas morn, after finishing off a dispiriting bowl of Kaboom, I opened my presents, which consisted of a shovel and gravedigger's overalls. My pappy thought it was important that I learn a trade. And the family trade was thieving from the newly dead.
And then I watched the Ghetto Fireplace on television, and dreamt of a world in which I would have a pretty golden watch that didn't come off the wrist of a dead man. A world of kindness and decency and wonder.
An Apple Jacks world, if you will.
