My buddy Jose defected from Cuba and got a job as an over-the-phone translator for other defectors during their immigration hearings. Anyway, one time there was a couple who defected around this time of year and apparently there was a bit of tension during the hearing... the husband (who wasn't so keen on defecting as his wife) was getting a little confrontational with the immigration official. So the guy from immigration walked out for a bit to let things cool down and let the couple talk to each other... meanwhile, Jose was still on an open line on the phone... and he heard the husband say to his wife, "I don't know why we wanted to come here... this place is Satanic - all of the store windows have skeletons in them!"

Cuban evangelical fundamentalists? :cool:
 
One of the members here would now probably say that Christmas is only a parochial thing for stupid German peasants and completely unknown in the US. :LOL:
But I forgot now who that was. :)
 
Oktoberfest is my favorite.
