Not so much “fierce” as “garish”.
NSFW (or prudish homes, for that matter)

The mutated (?) reindeer has non-reindeer-like flat primate-like areola/nipples on its chest instead of further back where “normal” cervidae have them. Kinky artistic license or what? And yes, definitely garish.

So, this is what PZ dreams himself to be. Some fierce and grandiose comic book character ;-P
Anyway, have a merry whatever.
Me, I am avoiding all social obligations this year. Family can just go fuck themselves. Frankly I don’t need them or their dramatics.

This isn’t Project Runway, so I will spank anyone not named Christian who says ‘fierce’.

For anyone not old enough to get the reference (the first 40 seconds or so). Warning, terrible sound alert! Seriously, turn down your volume.

Doonesbury is running a parody on Fox’s hyperbolic War on Christmas. Roland is at the scene of a nativity desecration today.

I wish you a very fierce whatever, PZ!
Webmaster for FTB: Help!! I cannot reliably get to FTB when I type “freethoughtblogs.com” into the URL field. I sometimes unpredictably get only a list of some of the blogs. This only happened after the site was redesigned. This also happens to a friend on his computer, too, so the problem is not with my computer, or his. Please fix this!

Not nessa-celery, catlover – if you are both running the same browser version on similar computers, it may well be something specific to that configuration combination. I’m sure that the webmaster will find it easier to sort out how to fix the problem if you tell ou what your brower and operating system config might be, and perhaps take a screenshot, upload it to picasa or twitpic or somesuch, and then post the image URL here.
