EXCELLENT! Are there ANY non-candy holidays left? All we have is the 4th of July, and explosives are not a viable substitute for sweets. - metrohumanx, 2008-10-20: 09:50:00

Metro, I agree. Those sparklers are more "spicy" than sweet. Always need a milk chaser after a few. :) - lumina, 2008-10-20: 20:20:00

Besides polar bears, seals, walrus, humans too gain extra body weight for this season. We like to call it flabitat. Those extra calories, from rich food and antifreeze (booze),that's what keeps us warm through bizzards, snowplows and Hockey Night in Canada.

Etymology: Flab (fat, excess poundage) & Habitat (the type of environment in which an organism or group normally lives or occurs)

His only regret is that he has not been able to find a ready source of muktuk.
