Subject: Regarding Christmas
I'll never understand what all the fascination is with one day that was arbitrarily chosen to be significant.
Don't hand me those lines about it being a time to show "good will" and "appreciation" for your fellow man. If people truly believed those ideals were important they wouldn't need to adhere to a schedule to be reminded to extend that gratitude, nor would it lead to the near-riots at limited time sales. Nothing says "Peace on Earth" quite like elbowing someone else out of the way so you can grab the last product off the shelf for yourself.
It's all a marketing ploy.
Believe me, I should know... I wonder what the sales figures look like this year.

[Sure. Why is everyone here certifiably insane?]
Well I knew someone that claims to be at least 10,000 years old so you still have a lot of catching up to do.

[The truly ancient, legendary swords... Not like they're here anyway.]
If I live that much longer, I just hope I won't get too bored. This old man need his entertainment in his retirement.

[... proves that you are a loon.]
At least boredom isn't a terminal condition or I would have expired months ago. [He misses his technology like burning] .. and I can't imagine ever retiring.
