War on X-Mess: Santa May Start Fighting Back

Smart-ass drama students in marvelous Missoula, Montana, assaulted a "shopping-mall Santa" (Is there any other kind of Santa?) w/ a pumpkin pie.
Santa suffers for our sins.
"It's a good thing he didn't wait around, because I think Santa would have laid him out," said Sgt. Travis Welsh of the Missoula Police Department.

Westwood said he and companions had waited for a girl about 15 years old to finish sitting on Santa's lap before the pie hit his face, "but then we just decided it would be funnier if she was still sitting there."
If there are fifteen-yr.-old girls sitting on Santa's lap, we may have more serious problems than mere fun w/ pies.

My contribution to the War on $mas. It's the raw material for a non-Advent calendar.
Kept me amused for a few hours, anyway.

Vom Editor:
'Zat choo in the track suit? Heh-heh. You've enough stuff there for two Advent calendars. Quite enjoyed those when we were younger & (astoundingly) even more ignorant.

Serious (& embarrassing) question: How do you manage to do links in this irksome little window? It always tells us it won't take such & such a tag or code.

Links? This is what I did:
<A href="randomgibberish.com">Hyperlinked text</A>.
I was paying attention in class, or at least in the S,N! thread where someone (Simba B?) described this. He also explained how you use the escape code &lt; that forms a left-triangle bracket within explanatory text (instead of it trying to turn into a link).

I made a non-Advent calendar for Sonja last year, using a Kinkade painting (something along the lines of "The Winter Cottage") but this year she does not have the same tolerance for cheese. The doors conceal photographs of various cats. Yes, we suffer from a mild case of Multiple Cat Syndrome.

Vom Editor: Ah, just don't use the "http://," as Bugger™ does say. Seems we tried that once, but...things are not always as they seem.
We were payng attention during class as well, even wrote the escape codes on our cheat sheet, but Simba B. wasn't being Bugger™ specific.

Thanks (again) for the advice.

Only one cat here besides ourself. Wouldn't mind a few more, however.
