Happy Birthday and Holiday Observances

[browngirl]

First of all, HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my littlest roommate, who is three today! \o/

Secondly, an awesome post about Saturnalia. *waves to the learned author*

Thirdly, the lyrics to one of my favorite holiday songs, which is festive and muscular, if slightly atavistic.

ETA: On second thought, let me add a warning for fictional animal harm before we go any further.

Weasel Stomping Day by Weird Al Yankovic

Faces filled with joy and cheer
What a magical time of year
Howdy Ho! It's Weasel Stomping Day

Put your Viking helmet on
Spread that mayonaisse on the lawn
Don't you know it's Weasel Stomping Day

All the little girls and boys
Love that wonderful crunching noise
You'll know what this day's about
When you stomp a weasel's guts right out

So, come along and have a laugh
Snap their weasely spines in half
Grap your boots and stomp your cares away
Hip hip hooray, it's Weasel Stomping Day

People love them down the street
Crushing weasels beneath their feet
Why we do it, who can say?
But it's such a festive holiday

So let the stomping fun begin
Bash their weasely skulls right in
It's tradition, that makes it okay

Hey everyone, it's Weasel Stomping
We'll have some fun on Weasel Stomping
Put down your gun, it's Weasel Stomping Day
Hip Hip Hooray, it's Weasel Stomping Day

Weasel Stomping Day
Hey!

You totally deserve it for writing such an awesome essay. :)

Hadn't heard "Weasel Stomping Day" before and found it on the internet to listen. You and Weird Al have a very strange (could I say "weird") sense of humor - love it! Happy Holidays, whichever ones you celebrate

*giggles* Yeah, we do share a weird sense of humor.

Thank you. *beams*

*laugh* I'd never heard that one before; that's great. It expresses how I feel about most of Christianity. :-)

I've been fond of Weird Al for years, and I love his satirical takes on things. And it's so catchy!

No one shall be stomping Agent Weasel, but then I'm confident you and she could take out anyone foolish enough to dare try.

Just remember... ferret-legging's easier when you're wearing a skirt... ;)
