Santas Forbidden to Say 'Ho, ho, ho!'

[Dravyk]

Does anyone else recall some 20 years ago what it was like to pet a strange dog?

I do. You go down the street. Someone is walking the world's silliest happy dog, you stop you pet them. Owner beams.

Now, owners go down the street, pull the leash close in, move the dog to the other side, place their bodies as a barrier between you and the dog ...

Now, hey. Like anyone else I wouldn't want to get bitten. That said, back "in the day" when petting a dog was "Norman Rockwell" fucking NORMAL ... I don't think I got a bad bite once. Maybe a few teeth drags from being a kid and the dog wasn't so nice or maybe was a tad too playful. Period.

I do understand a lot of this shit came out of the late 80s inner city "train a pitbull to kill" shit. That coupled with the entire PC/lawyer bullshit that runs rampant in our society now, but still.

Petting a dog has gone out of style. Saying Merry Christmas and Ho ho ho is offensive. Give me a fucking break already! And this goes back to the peanut butter allergic folks too to some degree.

What are we going to do with the next generation? Spray wrap out kids in some kind of plastic bubble-wrap force field so my gawd, let them not fall down, pet a dog, smell peanut butter or hear Merry Christmas??!?!?!

This is just soooo NUTS!
