hi people, yes x-mas mood which also means that many have lost their enthusiasm
and: Don't ask what Bioforum can do for you, but what you can do for Bioforum (to manipulate this quote a bit)

[hobglobin]

repeat

if you start it...but i guess it's anyway just us posting there
and well posting sciency replies we can do for bioforum...you always only think about food, eh?

redundant

yup, I know...so I will just make a list of what I want for Christmas..and since you're epicurean and one of the leads of the merry band of atheists, you can't have any Christmas wishes/gifts (based on the original religious sense) ....so I will take the gifts for you and ......you meant more posts higher up the page? I'm not sure if bioforum will anticipate it or dread it.......

red and white

a very idiosyncratic interpretation of x-mas....and I'd say not in an original religious sense but a original greedy capitalistic sense
anyway my christmas gift was food supply for spidey for a whole year...good luck with all the crickets, beetles and cockroaches

but that's modern world for you, dr H...how are the economies gonna move without the christmas season? Then there should be 2 valentine days a year to make up for its loss....you're just cheap as ever...and I am allergic to bugs so too bad for Spidey...

well I don't care for the economics and if it developed a dependency from traditional holidays, its own fault... economy is not everything but a plague
and well the 10 kg bugs are on the way...I guess you'll realise it when they appear everywhere

sure, sure...I don't see you living in a commune, planting your own veggies and raising your own chickens...plus you're also working and earning a salary and paying taxes so you still care about the economy even if you deny it.... and I have a very handy blow torch..makes the perfect golden crust for creme brule and toasted bugs as well....

but I'd like to do it...anyway I'm not an economist but I'm pretty sure that our economic with endless growth as basic assumption (though for many it's a dogma already) will kill this system more or less soon...and so a different way of economy is needed and well I don't buy every year more but less..that's my tiny boycott
and you want the bugs roasted and fried...sure perfect for many types of meals...bon appétit

Morning all, what's the Santa thread? and why are we talking of economy.
We should be talking of food and gifts.
Casey, I am no atheist, and I am fine with the Roman Catholic  belief system. Do I get gifts then? (have sent you my detailed address in a PM) You must really hurry, India Post takes their Christmas holidays very seriously.
