Rocky,
Is there a move in society to want to change Sinterklaas' Zwarte Pieten?

No. Not at all, surprisingly enough. There are always a couple of people who want to ban it, but the vast majority want the tradition to be continued. An even bigger part is just totally oblivious to it.

Must look like one hell of a racist holiday to you guys, though.

It doesn't matter to me. I get frustrated when things change due to the perceived need for "Political Correctness". But I understand the sensitivity some would have when a link can be drawn from Satan to Piet. And worse yet, from Satan to Piet through the Spanish. :tongue3: j/k

Merry Christmas to all of you. We have a potent snowstorm on the way, we are expecting over eight inches and surely it will be fun.

Happy Christmas to all!

And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

I haven't seen any version of that movie. Both Santa and her have quite an accent, btw. Lol.

Pretty nice feel good moment. Read up on it a little and I must say that it's a shame that the 1994 version takes the easy way out.

Meanwhile, Susan sees Kris talking and singing with a Dutch World War II orphan girl in her native tongue and begins to wonder if perhaps Kris is real. (In the 1994 remake, Kris communicates with a deaf girl via sign language.)

Interesting.. Thanks for the links.. I had a good read. I know, I'm uncultured, but honestly I never knew about that holiday.

Yeah.. We are gearing up for at least 10 inches.. reports are saying there'll be areas hit with 20 inches. Also, The National Weather Service said, "THIS EVENT MAY BECOME COMPARABLE TO THE HALLOWEEN SNOW STORM OF 1991"

Yeah, it's a shame.. But wasn't the 1994 version set in the current time frame? It'd be hard for Santa to communicate with a Dutch orphan girl in 1994.

Thanks to TheViking88 for the sig!!

TheKanataThrilla (2h) : Anyone hanging out in the chat tonight?

Zero2Cool (2h) : whoa...49ers have had trade conversations about both Deebo Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk

Zero2Cool (3h) : I hope they take a Punter at 9th overall. Be bold!

Mucky Tundra (3h) : I may end up eating those words but I think they need a lot more talent then their 4 picks can provide

Mucky Tundra (4h) : I really hope they stand pat and Draft a WR

Mucky Tundra (4h) : @DMRussini

Mucky Tundra (4h) : The Chicago Bears are very open for business at 9 and telling teams they are ready to move for the right price, per source

buckeyepackfan (24-Apr) : Lions extend Penei Soul 4yrs - 112mil

buckeyepackfan (24-Apr) : Lions extend St. Brown 4 years 120mil and

Mucky Tundra (24-Apr) : Now look, trading up to 13 to take a TE might not seem like a good idea later but it will be later!

dfosterf (24-Apr) : (Your trade up mock post)

dfosterf (24-Apr) : Mucky- The only thing fun to watch would be me flipping the f out if Gute goes up to 13 and grabs Brock Bowers, lol

beast (24-Apr) : DT Byron Murphy II, Texas... whom some believe is the next Aaron Donald (or the closest thing to Donald)

Zero2Cool (24-Apr) : What? And who?

Mucky Tundra (24-Apr) : *sad Mucky noises*

Mucky Tundra (24-Apr) : @JoeJHoyt Murphy said he’s been told he won’t slide past pick No. 16.

wpr (23-Apr) : Just about time to watch Sonny Weaver stick it to the seahags. I never get tired of it.

Martha Careful (23-Apr) : *game plan

Martha Careful (23-Apr) : IMHO, not even close. He is not a guy you game play around.

Mucky Tundra (23-Apr) : is Aiyuk worth a 1st rounder?

Zero2Cool (23-Apr) : 49ers are seeking a 1st round pick in exchange for WR Brandon Aiyuk

Mucky Tundra (22-Apr) : Based on Gutes comments, now I don't feel as silly having 13 picks in my mock the other day

Zero2Cool (22-Apr) : Zach Wilson to Broncos.

Zero2Cool (22-Apr) : Gutekunst says he'd love to have 13 or 14 picks. He's trading back huh lol

beast (22-Apr) : Someday we'll have a draft betting scandal

beast (21-Apr) : Sometimes looking extremely amazing, sometimes looking extremely lost

beast (21-Apr) : I haven't looked into the QBs, but some have suggested Maye has some of the most extremely inconsistent tape they've seen

beast (21-Apr) : Well it also sounds like Patriots are listening to trade offers, not that seriously considering any, but listening means they aren't locked

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : Maye needs to be AFC

Mucky Tundra (21-Apr) : Not liking the idea of the Vikings getting Maye

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : Vikings HC joked that he may or may not have sent flowers to Bob Kraft. That's where rumor came from.

beast (21-Apr) : Can't tell if this is real or BS, but some rumors about a possible Patriots/Vikings trade for #3 overall

dfosterf (21-Apr) : One playbook to my knowledge. I was shooting for facetious.

beast (20-Apr) : I'm not sure they have different playbooks for different OL positions, and Dillard run blocking is supposedly worse than his pass blocking..

dfosterf (19-Apr) : The only problem with that is he isn't a guard either.

dfosterf (19-Apr) : Put him at right guard. That is where he will be coached. That is where he will compete. He is not even allowed to look at the LT playbook.

dfosterf (18-Apr) : Kidding aside, I hope the best for him.

dfosterf (18-Apr) : Went to a Titans board. One comment there. Not very long. I quote: "LOL" They don't sound overly upset about our aquisition.

beast (18-Apr) : OT Dillard has been absolutely horrible... like OG Newman levels

dfosterf (18-Apr) : Suit him up and have him stand in front of the big board as a draft day cautionary tale.
