alvin, This sleighed me...very clever and very funny...quite a counterpoint to how I used this OS (not that I wasn't clever...lol...). 5's ~ ~ ~
Givin' you fives.
One of my favorite OSs, you did it justice. I liked the timeline progression, and it's a funny idea that Christmas could be called because of striking elves - lol. 555
Santa's helpers are known as subordinate clauses not elves Red Ant. Good one Alvin
I can really picture the elves singin' this song! 555
Good tribute to the often neglected little people
thanks paul john red ant ann yoidy AFW
As the local representative for The Consolidated Yuletide Engineers Union 401, I would like to refer to clause 555 of the charter...;-)
thanks kristof
555 just for the match-up of OS (which I LOVE) to subject matter alvin - lovely stuff!
Love the OS also. Good topical stuff, alvin. 5's
thanks stuart and dee
