Often around this time of year I ask myself, “Why isn’t Christmas about Jesus wielding a double barrel shotgun?” Honestly, that would be more interesting than the star and the shepherds and the BLAH BLAH BLAH zzzzzzzzzz. Apparently Ron Lake of Nipomo, CA, agrees with me. I mean, what’s more compelling than the thought of our Lord and Savior hunting down and killing a man trying to bring presents to good boys and girls all over the world? That’s a rhetorical question, of course.
Hat Tip to FARK
I think there are a lot of people who would also agree with this. So I would like to invite you to an event that doesn’t surround all of the BLAH, BLAH, BLAH. Feel free to spread the word. Details below:
Saturday, December 19, 7:00pm

Holy shit! I grew up there. That’s where my parents live.
