Slightly off topic, but yours is the 2nd post I've seen today with a word beginning with K deleted, both posts referring to the well know burger chain. The K word is clearly off limits regardless of context. Perhaps we should all rename the chain Burger Queen's Husband. ???? 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ54 Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Yep too early imo making it see too commercialized ... if it’s something the children enjoy fine but not so much if it a money grab for businesses.... my kids are 45 and 46 they’ve gotten over Christmas and Easter Bunny lol..

The real meaning being the fantasy story of a woman giving birth without having intercourse to a relative of an imaginary being as written down years after the event and then re written many times over the next 2000 years with more holes than Swiss cheese or use than a Thai hookers anatomy. At least the second meaning holds more truth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post bkk6060 Posted October 28, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 28, 2020 Driving by the seeing the tress and decorations totally motivated me to want to buy something. So, I went to Tukcom and bought a pair of 39 b sunglasses. Made me feel good helping the economy and all.. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winter and summer solstice are more of a European thing. Never really knew about the celebration side until a few years ago. Some fantastic parties in Europe during the summer solstice! I think it's a more proper celebration than the commercialization of Xmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
