There’s a number of downer Christmas songs, “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas”, “Blue Christmas”, “Christmas at Ground Zero”. Okay, the last one is by Weird Al. I can’t think of any for other holidays, which may just be because there are fewer songs total for them.

I’d be very surprised if they went there. Still, point taken.

Well, yes, correcting flaws is a good deed, but I guess I was referring to the way you do it; the “penchant for scorn” part.

Even taking for granted the improper common usage, that’s the exact opposite of karma.

“Why is it that, given my penchant for scorn and my ability to point out the worst flaws in arguments and people, that the one time I’ve been attacked has been when I did absolutely nothing to induce or provoke it? The complete lack of poetic irony is shocking.”

If I didn’t know any better I’d say it was due to the you-never-know-when-it’s-gonna-come-around phenomenon called ‘karma’.

Comment on Pound of Feathers, Pound of Gold by Meng Bomin

Well, judging from the fact that a gram of gold is about £20.80 right now, £1 of gold currently has a mass of 48mg. I’m pretty sure that I could buy more than 48mg of feathers for £1, so I’d say a pound of feathers weighs more than a pound of gold.

I think that would reduce my desire to shop at such a store.

Thanks. Comment deleted.

I must say, that spam was better-crafted than the majority of such things I delete.
