May your days be wan and miasmal, and may all your Christmases be cacodæmoniacal


Face it: most of the nativity scenes out there suck. The Squidtivity isn’t bad, but it still doesn’t convey the true message of the holidays.

So I made my own.

Have a squamous Christmas and a rugose New Year!

    That popping sound you hear is Bill Donohue’s head exploding…

    For this effort alone, PZ, you should be eaten first.

    One of the crucifixes in my childhood home contained an Extreme Unction kit.
    My brother and I used to play with it.
    Beat that.

    Ever seen a crucifix? Now tell me my little diorama is creepy

    Many years ago when middle spawn was 6 years old, we were driving past a church with a several story high cross in front of it.

    “Look Mom, look!” he said from the back seat “There’s one of those things they hang dead people on.”

    Every Nativity scene I ever saw was somewhere between grotesque and downright awful. Especially the “live” ones.

    That’s Charles Darwin holding the skull of one of his enemies.

    I’m reminded of when the young Richard Owen stole a head to dissect it… :-)

    Baby Jesus’ beginning in a warm little pond.

    Best thing you’ve ever said. Thread won. Keep going, and I’ll nominate you for Molly.

    Needs a krampus.

    Wrong. Krampus day is December 5th.

    As Dread Cthulhlu rose from the waves of R’lyeh he spotted Charles Darwin holding the skull of one of his enemies and contemplating, and the Dread Lord from beyond the stars, after eons of brooding in his necropolis, at long last knew fear, and fled, lest Darwin the God-Slayer come upon him.

    Thus, Darwin saved Christmas.

    Bwahahahaha!

    Coolest nativity scene ever.

    Darwin holding the skull of one of his enemies… Superb.

    Happy holidays, try not to spend all of them straight and sober (:

    Snif! That’s the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me at this time of year.

    That’s Charles Darwin holding the skull of one of his enemies.

    But does the skull have an orangutan’s jaw? (No, I will not name the hoax — I don’t want to summon that here).

    Maybe “King’s Sheep” to K4? We can’t have baby jeebus as a pawn, now! (And yerz gotta begin with 8 of ’em.)

    @ #17:

    Awfluller & awfuller! Don’t recall those. Must have had a defensive implosion so’s I’d forget! Wow! The awful – how it stings! Please don’t do that again! What did I ever do to you?

  12. LightningRose says

    Okay, where in hell can I get a figurine of Charles Darwin holding the skull of one of his enemies.

    Glen Davidson is already an OM.

    Oh. So I confused him with someone else twice. ~:-|

    Thus, Darwin saved Christmas.

    Week saved.
