Christmas Letters Revisited

November 24, 2004 · Filed Under Blog 

Judging by the traffic logs here at the ole FC.com it is the time of year where people are looking to write their Christmas letters. Because people are illiterate, semi-retarded goons, sans originality, they have come to that “intranet thingie” to find out how to write a Christmas letter. This is where it goes down hill because they are arriving here at my wonderful catalog of nothingness.

I don’t know if any of you remember the post I did on Christmas letters last year, but it was a profane fisking. I wrote it on December 19th after intercepting one of these family Christmas letters.

Just imagine you came to the internet looking for some good advice as to how to write your family Christmas letter and you came to that posting. Do you think it convinced anyone that writing a letter like that is a bad idea? Did anyone say, “Hey wait a minute! If I write a family Christmas letter, then I am just a complete tool and people will think my entire family is nothing but simple-minded helmet wearers.”

If that is the case then maybe I have done a little bit of good here today.

If any of you receive a Christmas “state of the union” type of letter from someone this year, please forward it to me. I would love to see it and mock it.

Thanks,
FC

P.S. I will change the names to protect the innocent (and increase the hilarity.)

    Aaron and I were discussing the possibility of you and I putting out an Xmas letter, complete with weird-ass photos. Seriously, I think it would be absolutely hillarious. If you’re not in, I may fly solo on this project.

    Depends on how “weird” the photos are and what you mean by “weird.” But hell yes, I am in.

    Let’s leave the cat out of this, shall we?

    Pixie in ‘compromising’ positions. Y’kno she does ’show’ a lot. There are an abundance of ‘air quotes’ in this post.

    Does this mean you won’t want my letter this year? You sonofoa… oh, right.

    According to reports, the plot outline is, (wait for it) “The idea is Maverick is at the Top Gun school as an instructor — and this time it is he who has to deal with a cocky new female pilot.”

    If you become too accepting of a condition that you really don’t want to encourage, you might just end up with unintended consequences.
