I don't take personal insults well. My wires are such so that when it happens, i'm not going to put on head gear, lace up the gloves and put in the mouthpiece. I'm going to drop the gloves and just let the adrenaline take off.

I don't celebrate it either, really.

It’s just another day where it’s cold outside and the shops are shut.

I’d love some kung pao chicken though….

Thats the best part, chinese restaurants are always open on Xmas. Good luck finding your chinese.

Not here they're not.

Nothing is open Xmas day. I really want a chinese now though….

I once spent Christmas in London

That stunk. In the US, at least SOME stuff is usually open, and everything is open the next day. I ended up eating Thai food for like four days straight.

And Thai food…. I’m SO jealous

Curiouslt, Asian food is expensive in most of Europe, while very inexpensive

here in the States. Many Jewish people in NYC like to do some Chinese on Christmas. I eat a Chinese lunch of tea, steamed vegetables, and rice every day. I flavor it with hot Chinese catsup. Very tasty. I also am learning to speak Chinese. Not nearly as diffcult as I thought it would be. I already know two words………….

As a lifetime Jew from Philly, not only did we have Chinese food on Xmas but we generally took in a film as well.

One of my favorite memories of Xmas eve( before I married my devoted Xmas obsessed Catholic wife, was driving to see the Godfather Three….and getting a speeding ticket. The officer was anything but generous….but the bastard did let me get to the threatre in time to see the worst of the trilogy.

I almost died laughing when Mary Corleone got shot in her fathers arms. But it was Al Pacino falling off his chair in the last scene that has marked itself indelibly.

Merry Xmas

I always go with the fam to see a movie as well

Saw Tron yesterday. It was meh but better than my expectations. Soundtrack was good but I wouldn’t pay extra for the 3D since only a couple of scenes use 3D the rest are simply 2D.

Speaking of not funny, I wanted a burger for dinner, but all the places are closed. Im hungry and feel your pain.

by cyke on Dec 24, 2010 8:24 PM EST up reply actions  

I went and bought a shitload of crappy food yesterday just so I could get my greasy junkfood fix today.

But to my irritation, my flatmates brought back a load of pissed-up people at stupid-o’clock this morning, and some fight kicked off, waking me up after about 3 hours sleep. So I was awake til 10:30am, and just woke up (gone 4pm). So now I’ve missed most of the day, and I’m not hungry.

Upshot? You can grab a burger here if you can get here. :P

Damn, sounds like a crazy house you live in. Guess that burger will have to wait. Sounds like it turned out to be a good day for a lot of people.

The five yrs. I drove cab in NY I always drove on Christmas because you made a fortune, and ended the shift in Chinatown. I can’t get it on Christmas around here, and never miss it more than Christmas night.

No, no

Everyone will just be agreeing with whatever I decide to say, because I can no longer be bothered to properly explain myself.
