... the 1974 Rankin-Bass special with Santa being, as ever,
really a jerk ...
1. Doesn't Santa specifically refusing to accept any mail
from Junctionville pretty much answer the question of his existence
in a non-ambiguous way?
2. If Santa is supposed to be won over by a clock playing
the singing voices of people pleading to him for his attention,
then even if the clock's out of order, mightn't Santa's heart be at
least as won over by having the townsfolk gather underneath the
clock to sing manually?
2a. If every one was out singing their hearts out to change
the cold heart of Santa, would this give Bertie the chance to sneak
around back and swipe the cow-creamer for Aunt Agatha?
2a(1). Don't Imean Aunt Dahlia instead?
3. Since Santa was delivering presents to Junctionville
after rejecting all their letters, how did he know he was getting the
right stuff to the right kids? Or has he just been in the business
long enough that reading the letters is a pro forma thing?
What do you think, sirs?

I blame JACK ALBERTSON!
(I wonder if William Frawley would be OK with that :-))

P.S. Does anyone else think, given those new Acura commercials, that *Tammy* will at some point drive up, perhaps to chastise those making MANOS 2.0? ;-)
