There’s an old episode of The Simpsons where Homer’s looking at a map & says, “Hey…there’s a NEW Mexico.”
Apparently now there’s a “NEW New Mexico.”
…and a “NEW New Hampshire.”

Cute. Having driven across the continent several times the issue here sort of jumped out at me.

There’s Minnekota, West Dakota, Cornbraska, Lower Colorado . . . .

I kept looking at that extra row of states and thinking, “There has to be a science fiction story here somewhere”.

I don’t think that is what they mean by incarnate…

There are some (Often Jonathan Roumie fans) who do claim Jesus is hot, though!

(As far as the “Christ born meatloaf” - delving into that theology is well beyond my paygrade.)

I failed to notice that the tinsel on the tree in the cat cartoon was a snake until my granddaughter pointed it out! neat detail!

Ha, yes, very clever, and he even has a forked tongue. :smiley:

FYI don’t stay up late looking for Santa. If you see him you will ruin Christmas for everyone else

Church history/legend tells us that there is a “miracle of bilocation”. I just figure Santa can do a miracle of multilocation.

I can’t remember where I first ran across this - it’s possible it already came from this forum or even this very thread; but even if so - I don’t mind resharing it here. [or as I now see … yes - I shared this very same link last Christmas! Guess my enjoyments haven’t changed much, and my senility keeps them fresh for me at least! :crazy_face:]

It’s funny! (especially to those older ones of us who recogize voices like Neil Diamond’s and can hear how well he nails their styles.) Enjoy.

And Merry Christmas everyone!

I love the Tango version – takes me back to ballroom dance class.

Elton John was well done, also Bob Dylan.

I totally cracked up at the Leonard Cohen version!

I kept waiting for Paul Simon.

And would have loved to hear a drum line version.

Yeah, Neil Diamond . . . he pegged that.

I have to admit there were some I didn’t get.

Merv, that was super fun!

Ragtime!
Tango!
“Jewish”!
Michael McDonald!
Radiohead!
Leonard Cohen!
Boogie Woogie!
John Cage!

He’s a good singer and a fantastic piano player.
Reminds me of Sandy Patti singing all the different styles of Jesus Loves Me!

Yeah, the Radiohead version really made me laugh.

Just in case John Cage was one of those you’re referring to… He’s a composer that is known for having composed a song that was just 4 min 30 seconds of rests. The orchestra sits in complete silence while the conductor conducted away the time.

There is a delightful discussion of his work in “How to Do Nothing” by Jenny O’dell.
