12th Night Party

OK, a bit of Church geeky thought occurred to me. 12 Night Parties might seem a bit odd. The 12th Night of Christmas is, actually, the 5th of January, the Eve of the Theophany or Epiphany. Why party on that night? I’ve a theory: traditionally the day of the 5th is [...]

Pranked

News on the CBC this AM is that two DJs from Montreal called Sarah Palin yesterday, pretending to be the president of France, Nicolas Sarkozy. They were rather amazed to get through and conducted a 5 minute conversation with Carribou Barbie before she realised she was being goofed on. Word is she said [...]
