  Tue. 1/3/12 7:05pm Matt from Springfield:

Ah, a nice relaxing 70s AC Nuclear War/Christmas standard after a long day at the office.
  Tue. 1/3/12 7:05pm Kat in Chicago:

I'm ready for a lot of fun and excitement!
  Tue. 1/3/12 7:05pm Matt from Springfield:

"American Song-Poem Christmas"...you can't EVER go wrong with song-poems. Ever.
  Tue. 1/3/12 7:06pm Matt from Springfield:

Oooh, Carol harpistry!
  Tue. 1/3/12 7:10pm Danne D:

Yes the Democrats are caucusing
  Tue. 1/3/12 7:14pm Matt from Springfield:

Can one vote for Santorum in the caucuses by raising a pitcher of its namesake?
  Tue. 1/3/12 7:14pm Danne D:

There are like 4 levels. They are picking the people that go to the county convention. Then like next month they'll have the county-level caucuses and they'll pick the next level etc. Basically they are picking the people who will pick the people who will pick the people who will pick the delegates
  Tue. 1/3/12 7:14pm Matt from Springfield:

No mountain climbing in Iowa!
  Tue. 1/3/12 7:14pm Danne D:

Anyway, make sure you check out c-span and see how informed these voters are...

Gnight all :)
  Tue. 1/3/12 7:14pm Ken From Hyde Park:

Iowa? Pfft....who the heck comes from Iowa? Wait...what?
  Tue. 1/3/12 7:15pm Matt from Springfield:

Already?! Oh well, g'night Danne! I'm sure to bump into you again soon! :)
  Tue. 1/3/12 7:17pm Matt from Springfield:

Speaking of things that sound really weird when you hear them, I just found out that there was a 70s/80s appetite suppressant called "Ayds"--pronounced as the disease "AIDS"--sudden PR nightmare.
  Tue. 1/3/12 7:18pm Deep South:

Iowa doesn't have a particularly good record of picking the eventual Republican nominee. South Carolina, on the other hand, has a perfect record since the Republican primary was first held in 1980.

  Tue. 1/3/12 7:19pm Matt from Springfield:

I mentioned last week that I saw the new My Little Pony--not a fanatic about it yet but I admit it's an excellent children's show. I'm an ally of the Bronies now.
  Tue. 1/3/12 7:19pm Chris:

Brony music: The Horse Song by Iggy Pop
  Tue. 1/3/12 7:23pm Matt from Springfield:

Cartoon horse hygiene, at minimum.
  Tue. 1/3/12 7:24pm kat330:

And those little bottles in the fridge will cost your mom bucco bucks.
  Tue. 1/3/12 7:24pm Robert:

So what's a Brony, a Brooklyn pony or a Bronx pony?
  Tue. 1/3/12 7:25pm Cliff:

Santorum is Catholic.
  Tue. 1/3/12 7:25pm Matt from Springfield:

@Robert: A "Bro" who's into the new "My Little Pony" cartoon series. See show from Dec 6 for more.
  Tue. 1/3/12 7:29pm Matt from Springfield:

Taking the dead baby home is, to me, comparable to having a home funeral; which as Jay said, is a healthy way to come to terms with death. But I heard that they had the kids touch the dead baby and stuff--that to me is more creepy.
(The good news--the young Santorums might grow up to mummify young female corpses they find in the cemeteries!)
  Tue. 1/3/12 7:35pm Kat in Chicago:

I think Smirnoff makes the marshmallow and whipped cream vodkas.
  Tue. 1/3/12 7:36pm Michael:

1.) The bringing the dead "baby" home story was meant to emphasise their strange belief that anything with 23 pairs of human chromosomes is a full human being.
2.) Until fairly recently---no more than a couple of hundred years, I think---Catholics had the courage of their convictions, or at least St Augustines, and understood that all unbaptised persons go to Hell forever---good news, though, since Augustine didn't necessarily believe that miscarriages have souls, he probably believed in ensoulment either at quickening or at birth.

Matt: Regarding the Ayds reducing plan:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WTitP5_yDUU

Why take diet pills when you can enjoy Ayds?
  Tue. 1/3/12 7:41pm Matt from Springfield:

@yoman: Ha ha, that's the one!
They later tried to re-brand themselves as "Diet Ayds", but that just sounds like a no-calorie alternative disease.
  Tue. 1/3/12 7:44pm Matt from Springfield:

Zoo-genics?
  Tue. 1/3/12 7:46pm Michael:

The acetiminophen really helps the codeine (or hydrocodone, which latter is much stronger) work longer because because it occupies a big chunk of your liver's attention for a few hours, leaving it with less ability to remove the opiate from your system.
  Tue. 1/3/12 7:48pm Michael:

Carrie Nation.
  Tue. 1/3/12 7:49pm Michael:

You'd get a really active dead mouse.
  Tue. 1/3/12 7:51pm Matt from Springfield:

Deadmau5 Edition Dead Mou5 Mountain Dew!
  Tue. 1/3/12 7:51pm Jim:

If you don't think drugs are good, you've never tried Dilaudid.
  Tue. 1/3/12 7:55pm Matt from Springfield:

It's not a game--it's a magical "conceit". I didn't want to abandon the belief, though I knew rationally at a point there was no Santa. I like the spirit of the season and the fun the conceit of Santa Claus brings. Eventually my parents unilaterally stopped the game with me.
  Tue. 1/3/12 7:55pm Silenth:

Jay can you believe that they let that sorcerer david blaine work his devil magic on t.v.
  Tue. 1/3/12 7:56pm Matt from Springfield:

Damn! That is some fancy Sno-Cone machines!
  Tue. 1/3/12 7:57pm Terrorist:

We shall give the infidels free sno cones tainted with poison, under the guise of giving an important talk on homeland security...
  Tue. 1/3/12 7:59pm depressed Persian cab driver:

Wait a minute...
No Santa?
You need to read the back page of December's Draft Horse Journal.
The doubting must stop here.
Why invite the opposite of generosity and love?
You prefer Jihad?
Skeptical nastiness.
  Tue. 1/3/12 7:59pm Matt from Springfield:

Have a good night Thunkers!
  Tue. 1/3/12 8:00pm Matt from Springfield:

Just getting a farewell in while you guys are still there!
  Tue. 1/3/12 8:04pm Michael:

Four-Loko? You'd get a really active dead mouse.

Snowcones? New flavour: santorum.
