Lug Nuts by J.C. Duffy for September 01, 2022

Where the “N” is placed.

Out of curiosity, I googled “Snata”, and found that somebody had already thought of that one.

Other anagrams also came up with google hits, but never mind.

Same as the difference between Krampus and kranky, right? Krampus and campus? (Because everyone’s cranky on campus.)

Okay, I’ll quit stretching for it. Not a first baseman or anything.

Good question. Arguably, Satan, if either existed, would have been stunningly successful, having coopted his rival’s special day and turned it to evil material interests. And what color does Satan traditionally wear? Maybe they’re the same individual. Both have their minions come out at night. And both have little imp-like minions. And you never see them in the same place. Like you never see a department store Satan, taking kids on his knee and asking, “And what can I bring you in exchange for your soul, little girl?” And that North Pole business is just a red herring. “Is Santa really Satan?” “Can’t be. Satan likes it hot.”

Just ask the Church Lady.

Church lady, a pious but wonderful woman!

Santa spelled backwards is Atnas.

None whatsoever.
