The Crimson Cyclone wrote:the funny thing about NORAD doing the santa tracking is that it started as an accident- some department store in Colorado had a Santa hotline published in the paper and they made a typo- the typo ended up being a NORAD phone number so the guys who answered the phone would tell he kids that they were tracking Santa thru radar as a lark. It became a little known tradition for years that got bigger publicity when the net spawned their site.

The program started in 1955, when a Sears Roebuck ad in Colorado Springs, Colo., misprinted their number in an ad for a Santa hotline. Instead of Santa, calls poured in to the Continental Air Defense Command and its director of operations, Col. Harry Shoup. Shoup answered the phone expecting to speak to someone at the Pentagon. Instead he heard someone asking, "Are you really Santa Claus?"

saw a Dickey Betts album in the record store the other day credited to "Richard Betts." that made me laugh pretty good.

never got a chance to see them live but i guess it's not really the same anyway. the only OGs left are Gregg Allman, Butch Trucks and Jaimoe Johanson.

It's battle of the inanities over here between the two mother-in-laws.

I swear it'll be a Christmas miracle if Vox or I don't snap, between them hovering over me in the kitchen, and hovering over Vox as we get the boys' presents ready...

At the neighborhood gathering tonight a friend my brother's age said his younger sister's boyfriend was a terrorist (because he did special ops in the US armed forces).

That went over not so well.

my plan is to drive into center city and take the subway down to the linc tomorrow. someone tell me that this is a good idea and the highways will be mostly ok with all this snow stuff.

yea, i'm slightly worried.

by **Barry Jive** » Sat Dec 25, 2010 21:43:45

I'd say you're probably better off driving somewhere other than Center City if you have other SEPTA options

by **Swiggers** » Sat Dec 25, 2010 23:21:19

Yeah, drive to the nearest Septa station, take it to Suburban Station -- all the "R" lines go there -- and pick up the Broad Street subway line there.

Me: K, dad I bought the tickets.
Dad: better be for the 3d version.
Me: aren’t we a little too old for that?
Dad: 3d or return tickets.

Won $45 at poker night and got 4 free beers. Can honestly say I didn't really miss the family stuff that much. Don't get me wrong, it sucks not to see my parents and sister, but I really didn't miss it that much.

Such is life.
