It’s holiday season central here at Beer Abby. Merry Christmas to all my Christian pals! Happy Hanukkah to all my Jewish buds! Happy Kwanzaa to all my NAACP peeps! And happy Winter Solstice to all my friends with two-seater Pontiacs! It’s me, Santa Bru, bringing you all kinds of goodies to the good little boys and girls, and especially to bad girls over 18. Come up and sit on my lap…Don’t worry, that’s just a petrified sausage in my pocket. Now, what do you want for Christmas? I know, you want your email questions answered by an expert! So here we go…
Beer Abby:
Is it “Hanukkah” or “Chanukah”?
A. Gentile
Whitebread, IA
Dear A.:
Either one is acceptable but both are pronounced the same. Unless you’re an Asian action-film star, in which case it’s pronounced “Jackie Chanukah”.
Mr. Bru--
Why eight reindeer? Why not seven or nine? Or six or ten?
Raj K.
Bigtheory, CA
Mr. K--
Easy. Six would not be enough to lift the sleigh. Ten would cost too much to feed and maintain. Seven and nine are just too odd…and Seven Of Nine is just too hot to allow St. Nick to focus!
Beer Abby:
Where did the abbreviation “Xmas” come from?
Curious in Kansas
Dear Curious:
Depends on whether you read Wikipedia or “A Christmas Carol Does Dallas” (oh, wait, that’s XXXmas…)
Hey Bru-Man:
Egg nog or peppermint schnapps?
Al K. Holic
Rehab, OH
Hey Al:
Neither! It’s Beer nog. Just like egg nog except you use beer instead of eggs. Yum. I hear it’s what Judas served at the last supper, which is why you see all of the other guys in the painting moving around. They couldn’t believe how good it was!
Dear Mr. Hed--
I read that Jesus was actually born in the autumn and the real reason Christmas is celebrated on Dec. 25th is because it’s the day Charlemagne was crowned emperor.
I. Schmartt
Collegeboy, MA
Dear Mr. Schmartty-pants--
That ain’t what my pastor told me, and he swears he talks to God directly. (Though he always seems to slur his words and walk crooked when he tells me that. Come to think of it, his breath smells a lot like tequila. He always says it’s from his Mexican sugarless gum…)
Mr. B-H,
I noticed the Seahawks and the 49ers are playing on Christmas Eve. Will Jim Harbaugh be dressing up as Thug Santa?
Pete C.
Seattle, WA
Mr. C,
I don’t know but I wouldn’t shake his hand! If you’re interested, Pascale has another one of his dumb Game BUZZ strips about the game for you:
Yo, Bru:
What’s your favorite Holiday animated special?
L. Van Pelt
Sebastapol, CA
Yo, VP:
Gotta go with Santa Claus Is Comin’ To Town. All the Rankin-Bass ones were pretty great but man, that redhead with the big eyes, tiny mouth and hourglass bod was friggin’ hot. I’d love to show her my burger-meister sometime!
And the last one before we close for the season:
Beer Abby--
What will you be wishing for this holy season? Peace on Earth or Goodwill toward men?
Will Goodpeace
Earth, TX
Dear Will--
I wish every man on earth will have a good piece! As long as I get one first.
And speaking of goodwill, I’m still in the giving mood! This is your last chance to pick up THE COLLECTED BRU-HED for a Christmas discount! That’s 128 punny pages of parody and comedy under color covers! Original price is a (perfectly reasonable) $13.95, but mention you saw it on this column and get it for just $6.00--US postage included! That’s more than 60% OFF! Offer expires December 24th, 2011. Find out more and place your order here TODAY.
THANKS. And let me know if any of your maroons are reading the disclaimers.
