Thanks. I still don't know how America can get on with only two political parties - and they are so similar it might as well be one party.
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

It works like this.
By and large, the right leaning people have good jobs, 2.5 kids, a home and 2 cars. Not rich, but comfortable and free to work hard to chase the American dream of peace and some prosperity. They are known as the silent majority. Minding our own business. Voting their conscious. Generally content people.
The left leaners are told the above individuals need to give up some of their dream to those on the left who have less, largely because they don't work hard or are generally unskilled so payed less if they do indeed do work hard. You see them in the streets with signs and yelling. gathered by the super rich who incite them to do so and curry their votes come election time telling them they will work for them to achieve "equality", when in fact after it's all done, go back to their gated communities and sip fine wine.
And that's how we get along. Decade by decade.

Seems reasonable, you way you put it. Makes sense!

What do we want to do?
Stop after today, and restart in the new year? (Jan 2nd, probably)
Stop after Monday, and restart in the new year? (Jan 2nd, probably)
Just skip Tuesday and New Years Day?
Stop it completely and never mention it again?
Other?
Your votes / suggestions / ideas would be appreciated. Except the ones involving physical effort / orifices.
Looks like Jan 2nd it is!
Wishing you all a puzzling good Christmas, and a happy new year, CCC will return in the new year.

Jan 2nd probably makes sense for the official CCC. Maybe peeps could still post CCCCs (Christmas CCC) without a WSO rule, though.

Right click the message title and select "Copy Link Address" - works in Chrome, maybe slightly different wording in other browsers.

No fair opening and closing the voting in only a few hours.
You're clearly engaging in voter suppression against all of us who would have voted "Stop it completely and never mention it again?"
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Got it - but I'm not telling. Too close to Christmas!
Nice clue.

Congratulations!
You are up ... whenever we do the next one ...
Which I think means you get a fairly major vote on this: See the thread above and think about when you'd rather post the next one: Monday, or Jan 2nd, or ...
(I'll probably go with your vote as you're the "next poster", unless you are heavily outvoted)

Oops. I've been out of the loop and didn't know there are new rules for this.  Let's go with Jan 2 for the next one.

The rules are up on my homepage: OriginalGriff - Professional Profile[^]
I think you are right - Jan 2nd makes a lot of sense.
Have a good Christmas, and you have plenty of time to think of the next one!

Today is the day. It's the longest night of the year and from tomorrow on the days will become longer again. Sitting at home and recovering from a few operations, this is going to be one sad christmas, so I need something to do.
How MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries[^] would be great, but it's still not out yet.
So it had to be something old. Something trhat I had skipped and that has enough content to last a while. After a perverse download of updates (about 20 Gig), I have this now ready to go: Fallout 4[^]. They actually have a suit of power armor (with almost dead batteries), a minigun and a Deathclaw to get a level 2 character to get started and have some fun. A small army of Raiders just gets gunned down inbetween 
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.
