    Why would you place her on top of such an obvious phallus?

    Who said it is phallus shaped?

    Amazing what one can do with a good pruning knife....:D

    We got our first ever real tree today. Since we've only ever had a 3' tree before we don't have any decorations for a 6 footer. There was a disagreement about baubles in the shop (he actually wanted to go with a blue, pink, and silver theme) which led to a decision to leave off purchasing any till we'd a chance to go to another shop.

    When we got home we started looking for my traditional turkey tree topper. We couldn't find it, but we did find a pile of figurines that had been packed away and, throwing all thoughts of being a grown up going out the window, we decorated the tree with Doctor Who, Spock, and Ghibli figurines. At the top is the Sorceress of Greyskull (because she has wings), but we're debating taking the point out and putting Totoro sitting up there because he's a better size.

    The day started with me saying "Can we not just have some class?" and ended with me saying "Absolutely, Spock has to go on the tree!"

    I'm glad you like Him J C. Of course it's not Him, just a representation of Him, no-one has seen Him.
    Once I get the constitution amended, it will be recognised that due homage shall be accorded to Him and He shall have a 'special position' - on top of everyone's yuletide tree - by law!
    I'm so exicited.

    @ Kylith: That sounds class! My kind of class :D

    My ongoing decor "theme" is

    1. if it does not take the eye out of your head with the brightness/glitter/shine, take it down

    2. if it does not clash wildly with it's neighbour, it's in the wrong place

    3. The tree must repell all feline summit attempts.

    (not as easy to achieve as it sounds. NOBODY does trashy like me. I'm very fussy.)

    As soon as the photons from the image of Him hit your retinas, they transform into the body and bowl of Him. As you view every single image of The Noodlesome One, you are touching Him, with your eyes. He's ok with that, though.

    Spock makes everything classier. Example: Civ 4 had Spock in it, work of genius; Civ 5 forgot Spock, massive failure.

    He obviously can't appear to you in His full noodly glory. If you were to see Him you would die instantly because your puny human mind cannot comprehend the sheer noodly awesomeness of Him. He recognising this and chooses to project a simpler, human friendly version of Himself.

    This is pretty basic stuff JC. You really should know better.

    As long as we all agree that under that tan he is still white.

    Dont be silly. I clearly remember seeing a photo of him as a child in my grandparents house and he's clearly white and in need of a haircut.

    According to string theory, when we are graced by His Noodly visage, it is merely a 4-dimensional projection of his 11-dimensional self.

    Behold - a looking much worse for wear Xena takes pride of place for the 10th year running on an otherwise understated tree.
