Act 1.
[Mangrove is ambling about his new, snow-covered neighbourhood. He passes a person out jogging]
Mang: Hi! Merry Christmas!
n00b1: WTF?? Merry WHAT!?? You fucking elitist Christan nazi fundamentalist scumbag oppressor!!
Mang: huh?
n00b1: Whatsamatter with you, buddy? Didn't you know it's HAPPY HOLIDAYS? [n00b storms off]
Act 2
[Mangrove is at his local convenience store and meets another resident]
Mang: [hesitantly] Happy Holidays?
n00b2: WTF??? HAPPY WHAT!?? I'm so sick of you liberal, nigger & jew loving, dope smoking faggots undermining our good, Christian, American way of life!!! [whacks Mang on the nose] CHRISTMAS IS STILL ABOUT CHRIST YOU FUCKER!!!
Correct greeting: "Fuck off, you glorious faggot!"
Just say "Christmas sucks and no, I am not interested in your silly religious cult".
Quote from: eroticCorrect greeting: "Fuck off, you glorious faggot!"
[scribbles out 'happy holidays' from LMN0's card]
ok..so 'fuck off you glorious faggot' it is then!
hmm...i don't think mrs mang' is going to go for it.
sooo...when did asking people to be 'happy' or 'merry' became a controversial act?
Actually, catch them all off guard, and start wishing everyone a happy Hanukkah.
Then, accuse them of being anti-Semites.

:lol:
i like that.
i'm sticking with 'merry mithras'
I usually just say something non-specifically inflamatory - like, "Hiya, hope you're enjoying the holiday season." And then they start bitching about the traffic and the crowds at the malls and I feel smug because I don't have to deal with any of that stuff and we both go away happy.
How about I just approach people and say "Happy!" ?
Try the "I hate holidays vibe". It works. People stop annoying you if they see you glower at tinsel.
bah humbug
So what's the low down on 'kwanzaa'?
Quote from: Pope T.Mangrove xviiSo what's the low down on 'kwanzaa'?

this never caught on in the UK. i think the first time i ever heard the word 'kwanzaa' was about 10 years ago when they started showing 'rikki lake' in england.
is kwanzaa like festivus?
It's more like Festivus than it is like the Salazorian "Box Day" Enrico was telling me about.
Why did you have to mention Rikki Lake? That show scarred my childhood. Thats why I take an unhealthy interest in America, because that damn program brainwashed me :x
so do the scientologists have a wintery gift-giving day?
Quote from: Tom CruiseYou may think you know about Christmas, but you don't know Christmas like I do! It's an alien conspiracy! *spaz*
I just tell them to have a 'nice diurnal anomaly,' and by the time they figure out what that means, I'm long gone.
:wink:
I like Happy Chanukkah, not ch like chalk, but that sound like you're trying to clear your throat. Or start singing Adam Sandler's Hannukah Song.
Some people think, that Ebenezor Scrooge is,
Well, he's not but guess who is
All 3 Stooges
What I usually do is completely ignore it, treat this like anay other day unless someone says something.
As far as I have been able to figure out, Kwanzaa is a cross between traditional African(possibly slave, not sure how far back the traditions go)celebrations, Christmas and Hannukkah. The celebrations go for, I think 8 days. There are presents, but there is also a theme of family and responsibility. Let's keep in mind I got this from Elmo's holiday special :lol: The show had Christmas, Hanukah, and Kwanzaa and I think there may have been something else.
Virgin Mobile has some weirdo holiday thing, Chrismahanukwanzakah, or something. If it was easier to say, I would be using that :lol:
just ask everybody for change

We NEED Guy Fawkes day, though.
Nov 5th 2006 - 1st ever Guy Fawkes in Connecticut!
I discussed this with Mrs Mang'. She doesn't care much for July 4th and Guy Fawkes in America is just surreal.
n00b: Mang? Why are ya lettin' off fire crackers in November?
Mang: Well, funny you should ask.
n00b: I
am asking.
Mang: You see n00b, I'm letting off these fireworks to celebrate the day that a conspiracy to blow up the King and the British government was foiled.
n00b: And?
Mang: And we set off fireworks and burn effigies of the poor Spanish Catholic schmuck who copped all the blame.
Be sure to have a severe british accent when you say that.
