    Happy Birthday Issac Newton

    ^*cant recall which calendar, I guess Gregorian but always forget.

      1. I’m compelled to add – my Newton comment is, in spirit, precisely what Neil DeGrasse Tyson Tw##^ed one Newtonmas of long ago…

  2. On Kedi, On Gus,
    On Hili, on Firefly,
    On Isabella! On…

    add your cats! We all know you can’t herd’em. So put as many as you can into the rhyme (rearranging to make it rhyme if necessary) because if Santa ends up with 20+ cats, that’s even more awesome than 8. 🙂

    1. Great minds. 🙂 One of the first replies at the cartoon site was:

      “And he called them by name: ‘Now Fluffy, now Taffy, now Whiskers, and Fuzzy, on Smokey, on Mittens, on Patches and Wuzzy!”

  3. Part of “A Visit from St. Nicholas” by Clement C. Moore, 1823

    When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
    but a miniature sleigh, and eight tiny rein-deer,
    with a little old driver, so lively and quick,
    I knew in a moment it must be St. Nick.

    More rapid than eagles his coursers they came,
    And he whistled, and shouted, and call’d them by name:
    “Now, Dasher! Now, Dancer! Now, Prancer, and Vixen!
    “On, Comet! On, Cupid! On, Dunder and Blixem!
    “To the top of the porch! to the top of the wall!
    “Now dash away! dash away! dash away all!”

    As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly,
    When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky;
    So up to the house-top the coursers they flew

    To which we can add red-nosed Rudolph at the front

    1. To you Rick too. And all the WEITers. Plus The Prof of course.

      Hey, Rickflick is a two syllable Santa sleigh-puller type name! Are you reasonably aerodynamic? Can land on your feet etc.?

      1. Thanks.

        No, I am hardly aerodynamic, and besides I can’t fly unless supported by an engine with wings. I try very hard to land on the mains quickly followed by the nose.

    1. On the second day of Coynezaa
      my true love gave two me
      two Drosophila
      and a book on heredity.

  6. I would like a ski-on-ski-off house in Utah.

    If Jerry is going to have a holiday named after himself at this time of year, he should be required to deliver presents to any who follow.

    Happy Coynezaa, and a happy holiday season to all!

    1. One of the Kitty CoyneElfs asked me to pass on a message:

  13. I think Inanna/Ishtar/Asherah did this first, her husband Tammuz gave us Tammuz-mas long before Christianity existed.

  14. Merry Coynezaa!

    A popular Mexican tv comic asks if Santa Claus is married.
    – Yes, he is married to Merry.
    – Which Merry?
    – Merry Christmas…
