Hey I'm always up for that Edge. But right now lets have a little experiment. Let's see who can toss a peppermint soft mint right on the belly of the baby Jesus right now as you read this...go. I nailed him on the first try and it actually enhances his beatific splendor. It looks like a smart little red striped tank top, so I can't wait to hear if you...what was that? You are not seated within a soft mint lob of the baby Jesus on the 10th day of advent? Gotta say if we are both at the Pearly Gates together and there is only one opening left, I am gunna have to bring up this little absence of devotion on your part Edge. Now you can just contemplate who is the godless one in this discussion while I make a matching hipster hat out of a Jujube for the little divine tyke. Nothing says savior of mankind like edible clothing. No wait L'll JC, cock it a little to the side, oh yes that nails it, pure Seattle post ironic attitude! Now drift off to sleep, you've got a lot of sins to shed blood for. That's a good little Son O' God. Hey Joseph I think there is a loose board or something around the back of the manger, you'd better go check it out. Yeah I hear you are the right man for the job, that's right out that way, see you a bit later...
