Skeptivus!

Said best by Karl Wulff:

As Eric Cartman of "South Park" fame is fond of saying: "Christmas is the time of year when people of all faiths and creeds come together in peace to worship Jesus Christ." Or not. Your pleasure.

Be that as it may, our meet-up group usually tries to get together around the holidays to share some secular cheer and an adult beverage or two. This year plans are a little late in coming, but here's the plan: UPDATE: We're going to meet at The Atomic Cowboy at 4140 Manchester, St. Louis, MO 63110 at about 7 p.m. We do HAVE space reserved just for our group now.

FOOD IS NO LONGER POT LUCK. PEOPLE BRINGING THEIR OWN FOOD WILL BE SHOT BY ORDER OF THE MANAGEMENT. The kitchen at the venue will whip up some big group orders or everyone can order individually. The Atomic Cowboy folks are very accommodating (Thanks Nice Phone Lady).

If anyone has a Festivus/Skeptivus pole they can bring that would be super. We can't have the traditional "airing of the grievances" or "feats of strength" without it, because tradition and stuff.

O.K. that's it. Be there, or I will give Jennifer McCarthy your cell phone number.
