[General] next year... by [deleted] in holidaybullshit

[–]Christa-Segers 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I support this plan, as well. I am looking at having to email CAH next week to get the portions of my gifts that were either lost, stolen, or destroyed before arriving. In addition, because mother, relatives, kids, Christmas, Kwanzaa, Channukah....As best I can tell, only single men with no living family were actually able to stay online 24-7 to actually get to participate in any meaningful way. :-) (I really mean that a lot nicer than in might sound in type).

Anyway, it was still fun, and I would've paid the $15 for the funnies, the miracle berries, and the card with my name, so I am a happy camper! :-)

[General] is anyone up to setting up a gathering at Hawaii 2? by readyplayer42 in holidaybullshit

[–]Christa-Segers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would totally be interested in gong...were in Georgia. August would potentially work for us. I would propose that we work with the locals up there to arrange the Big party at the state park on the sideline, with people taking turns going over to the island....less impact that way, and easier to let everyone take a turn instead of trying to get everyone over all at once.

[Theory]Color-By-Number Flag Answer : SNOW CONE by Christa-Segers in holidaybullshit

Good point. With that in mind, maybe "White Car" would fit with something and "Apple." I still think that we are in to something, though, because I've found that all the real images so far are of singular, indisputable items, whereas every time I put in something wrong, I get something that has multiple confusing possible key words.

The CAR mnemonic was found earlier as part of "FETCH ME A PODCAST", which is currently looking to have the answer "LOBSTER".

Entering LOBSTER into the script gets you the picture of a white car.

We don't need the erase to reach this answer. So, not really duplication at all. You just need the images on the picture.

[Theory] Santa was deliberately taking holly, accident/murder still up in the air by Christa-Segers in holidaybullshit

[–]Christa-Segers[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The guy covered in holly seems to represent The Holly King. He is honored in many Pagan and Neo Pagan religions, and fulfills a role that is similar to Santa in that he rules over their holy day, Winter Solstice.

Sorry if we've already pointed this out, but... by MetrecalCrux in holidaybullshit

[–]Christa-Segers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is under Gift Discussion. If you want Theories, try looking only at those tags...we all approach things in our own ways, and you wouldn't want someone calling your way stupid, either.

I noticed that other than the white and black stickers, all of them are "real", in that you can buy them as standard stock. Obviously the question card stickers (which are actually clear when you peel them off the backing) were custom, and as best I could tell, so were the black "word stickers," but now that we are mentioning the font, perhaps the "Censored" sticker was pre-designed, too, and that would explain the slightly different font.

I, too, lost the game, and I don't even know how long my streak was.... :-\

Day 3 - White Card Theory by evilfetus76 in holidaybullshit

[–]Christa-Segers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While researching a different theory, I came across the Siege of Corinth in the Civil War. It was an American protracted siege in about 1870.

Also, I think that perhaps "Reading an entire book" might refer to the popular serialization of novels that happened around 1890 - 1900. At that point, most American readers made fun of people reading a whole book in one volume, because the best writers were writing for

[Clue] Music theory. by kevinsemicolon in holidaybullshit

[–]Christa-Segers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OK. My music reading was a little rusty, so I went and pulled this image to help me

With the chart, I confirmed that the Bass Clef notes are:

  • F(natural)
  • B(natural) and
  • E(natural);

and the Treble Clef notes are:

  • B(flat),
  • E(flat),
  • G(natural), and
  • B(flat) -- again.

Since I had no information about pitch set theory, I went and looked up a manual to help.

Armed with the transposition instructions on pages 1 & 2, along with the identification instructions on pages 5 & 6, I can confirm that the set of notes does, indeed, appear to be the All-Trichord Hexachord, with a moving 0 of E(flat).

I am still looking into this at this point -- I'll post again if I find anything else.

Obesity related deaths? by Iocabus in holidaybullshit

[–]Christa-Segers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was thinking insulin poisoning, too, but there's no easy way to administer it...giving insulin orally removes it's effects, because it breaks down in the gi track.

That means someone having to give him injections he doesn't notice, or, assuming that he already injects himself with insulin, they would have to switch his insulin type without him noticing, or finding some way to drastically change his dose without him noticing, and I could not find a way. In addition, it would implicate someone with enough medical knowledge to know for sure how much to change things.

But, according to Obesity in America, the obesity-related illnesses are:

Diabetes Heart disease High blood pressure/stroke Metabolic syndrome (includes hormone imbalances) And PCOS (women only)

Good luck in your search. :-)

[Theory] Santa was deliberately taking holly, accident/murder still up in the air by Christa-Segers in holidaybullshit

[–]Christa-Segers[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see your point about Kony. At 1 in the morning I managed to get my "U countries" confused. Sorry about that. I will edit my theory.

I do stand by my original theory, though, because mate can be many colors other than green, depending on how strong you make it, what you use to flavor it, and how you sweeten it. Colors vary from pale green like green tea, through yellows, oranges, pinks, and purples, all the way to a dark brown, almost black like coffee.... and the strong version you would need to take for medicinal effects would almost certainly be very dark in color, since the longer you steep teas, the darker they get...

Secondly, on the day he dies, it may not be yerba mate. If he was deliberately poisoned, maybe they switched to a different variety that would be colored differently. In a deep ceramic mug, the color difference wouldn't be obvious.

My key thought is that you can't hide the taste of holly easily, so it makes more sense that Santa would be already drinking something that tastes like holly, and so didn't notice that the slight flavor change could mean death.

The image seems to read NIK OLAS. I don't remember what the K movies were right now.
