We are developing the social individualist meta-context for the future. From the very serious to the extremely frivolous... lets see what is on the mind of the Samizdata people.

Samizdata, derived from Samizdat /n. - a system of clandestine publication of banned literature in the USSR [Russ.,= self-publishing house]

    Grinch alert:
    Wow, did I REALLY see a “multimedia electronic communicator” on the table in that festive lean-in couple photo?
    Regardless, it was pleasantly engaging.

    From THIS node,
    Merry Christmas to all, and to all, a good night.

    “multimedia electronic communicator”

    It is what used to be known as a ‘camera’ back in the days when taking pictures was all the primitive things could do.

    Egad, I am SO envious*! Just LOOK at that festive board! Why was I not informed in time to hunt up my bikini so as to swim on over there for the Christmas Feast?

    *Please note: This gives me no desire to shoot either our host or his food. But it does prompt my salivary glands to anticipate the roast lamb coming up hereabouts. :>)

    May all Samizdatistas have the merriest of Christmases! :>)))))

    Merry Christmas Samizdati! Love the outsized shot glasses that shows there is at least someone there who knows how to drink in the correct quantities!

    Yep Happy Christmas you all. The food, as ever, looks scrummy, and the Mead spirit, very interesting. Is it sweet, or does it have an afterburn?

    Meat – so good,God actually made entire cows and pigs out of it.

    Please explain the 3-telephone array. I love it, I just don’t understand it.

    Meanwhile, in MI, 200,000 people still have no power and it was 16°F yesterday. Guess how my Christmas went? Why would you buy a generator and then not check the oil? I feel bad about taking their money but then stupid ought to be painful. And the phone is already ringing at 7.15 am.

    Llater,

    llamas

    Early 1960’s ‘legacy technology’ put in by the previous owner, Greville Wynne, llamas… the house is large and had internal phones everywhere…

    I can recognize harsh hillbilly fare when I see It. Congratulations on enduring such treatment!

    We also had roast lamb, Julie. I was shocked at the price of it round here, compared to England, but found a solution. Today I went back to the store, having previously made arrangements with the in-house butcher and came home will all their remaining lamb at a steep discount – four 10-11lb legs, in cryopaks, at $1.99 a pound. 😀

    I think I gained 5 pounds just looking at those photos!

    Merry Christmas to all!

    other rob,

    I’m sorry to bring this up but you forgot to give me the directions to your house. But Lucy (a.k.a. The Luce, a.k.a. Her Muttness) and I are delighted to accept your kind invitation to stay with you until the lamb runs out. :>))

    Seriously, I am of course quite envious of your provender. Still, shooting it so you can’t have it seems a little unproductive, as I assume it’s already dead — being cryovacked and all.

    REALLY seriously, congratulations on your foresightedness and your purchase. May you enjoy every succulent mouthful! 😉

    Spotted Dick! Where is the Spotted Dick? Can it truly be a Christmas without the Spotted Dick? Did Dickens do Spotted Dick? Tiny Tim?

    And on a side note the England side appear to be trying to put up a creditable performance in the 4th test in Melbourne, having already booted the ashes. Pride is a reason to play on, after all.

    Now if only the USA side wasn’t so totally f’d up by their notional ‘governing body’. Better off being overseen by the Windies.
