Swearing Santa June 18, 2006

Interesting discovery of the day:
JP seems to have a neighborhood, friendly, old guy who walks up and down the street yelling profanities to no one in particular (and the mothers of no one in particular, I might add). That. in and of itself, isn't particularly noteworthy. Most urban areas have their fair share of mentally disturbed people, many of whom are elderly.
The interesting thing about this particular individual, though, was his striking resemblance to Santa Clause. The combination of his portly stature, white fluffy beard and moustache, and even his attire (red sweater and red stocking cap) made him a perfect candidate for the role. If it weren't for the constant stream of vulgar curses eminating from his mouth I might have looked around for the elves.
Seems like there's never a dull moment when you live in the city!
I’ve been looking through my contract but I can’t seem to find a clause referring to Santa. Perhaps you should fax me?
Maybe you meant that, because he’s somewhat loopy, he’s unable to care for himself and hence might be a dependent clause. He said, waggishly.
Ooh! There was one just then! Whee!
I think he might be a grandfather clause. I mean, he sounds crotchety enough.
I think she was actually referring to the 1994 holiday movie starring Tim Allen.
Hmmm, could be. Was this swearing Santa being followed around by Richard Karn, or perhaps Jonathan Taylor Thomas?
Jen, I find you disturbingly well-versed in Home Improvement trivia.
And for the benefit of all of my readership, allow me to state unequivocally, that there was no pun intended.
If YOU had a dad named Tim who liked woodworking, you probably would have been subjected to Home Improvement more often than you would have liked, too!
