Walter Zoomie's World: Merry Christmas...In Spite Of Everything

Merry Christmas...In Spite Of Everything

I have no real pithy or brilliant comments this Christmas morning.

My family is together and healthy and in a warm and peaceful place.

For now, I am employed and able to provide their basic needs.

I could ask for nothing more.

I am thankful, but I wish my father was still around.

I miss him.

The Currier and Ives image above always reminds me of the Christmases of my youth and the care-free, home full of love he and Mom provided.

I hope that my wife and I have been able to provide the same to our children.

Merry Christmas.

A merry and content Christmas to you and yours, Walter, thanks for sharing your brilliantly sarcastic humor this past year. :)

Merry Christmas, bro. I can relate to you; lost my mom 11 years ago. Made sure to call my old man this AM.

Several beers and a shot of straight Kentucky bourbon on the rocks. Feeling no pain. Merry Christmas, my fellow patriots!

Merry Christmas, er Walter. Yeah, I still read this column. Keeps me up with what is going on with you. Remember, I have your zero chair and it has been put inside for the winter. We will get it back to you sometime (before the 4th I hope) Keep the Faith!

Feel free to comment away with your bad-ass selves.

Cursing and foul language is fine...even encouraged here. In fact, I think cussing is fucking wonderful.

Just remember...this is MY house, and I will not be insulted or maliciously messed with here.

Good-natured ribbing is cool, but if you and I don't have some kind of previous relationship, you had best mind your fucking manners or I will relegate you to the intardnets dustbin for being a cunt.

To know me is to love me.

Or something.

Maybe.

MISSION STATEMENT

This blog contains stories and graphics about auto racing, war, firearms, history, family, politics, the coming apocalypse, and whatever else might interest me.

Most of it I wrote or created. Some of it I didn't.

I try to approach my topics in a humorous and self-deprecating style, and I use coarse language sometimes.

Most of my thoughts here are tongue-in-cheek and satirical. Some are not. You'll figure it out.

Maybe.

I write and create for ME...to blow off steam, to get a laugh, or to get a point across, and I do it in my own demented way.

If you find my creations routine, dull, predictable, pedantic and pedestrian...I really don't give a fuck.

If it ain't your bag, that's cool. Don't read it or look at it. It's a free country.

For now.

Sorta.

Noah Webster

"Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed; as they are in almost every kingdom in Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any band of regular troops that can be, on any pretense, raised in the United States. A military force, at the command of Congress, can execute no laws, but such as the people perceive to be just and constitutional; for they will possess the power, and jealousy will instantly inspire the inclination, to resist the execution of a law which appears to them unjust and oppressive."
