Off the Mark by Mark Parisi for December 18, 2012

If this guy’s name is Chet we have a little song for you…

I would hate to end a relationship with that person.

SICK, Mark!I like that in a ’toon!

fire was THE hot gift that year.

It’s hard to get fired up, let alone consumed with your gift when your’e burnt out. However, he does have a flame (girlfriend) who looks like the perfect match to light his fire.

“Hamsters roasting on an open fire,Chipmunks popping on the coals.Yuletide carols being sung by a drunkAs the elves roll Santa Claus…”

Shouldn’t that be “Roasted by an open fire”?

He’s so hard to buy for.

If there IS a next year – shades of Don Pardo.

Is that Grog from “B.C.”?

and so, BBQ is invented…

Old flames, always making ashes of themselves….

At least he was warm for the rest of his life.

“Give a man a fire, and he will be warm for one day. Set a man on fire, and he will be warm for the rest of his life.”
