    Well, it's that time of the year again and time for the (newly-instituted) A+A Christmas/Winterval/Whatever Competition!

    The challenge this year is to design an A+A-themed christmas photo. This one culled from facebook a few minutes ago.

    Ultra Magnus & Optimus Prime, two wise men on the left. Prowl is the 3rd wise man but he's not in the picture because nobody wants to stand next to him because he's an asshole.

    This is interesting. Do you guys celebrate Christmas? If not is that on the grounds of pure atheism. To those that do, does that mean you are selling yourself out?

    In 2005, the Barcelona city council provoked a public outcry by commissioning a nativity scene which did not include a Caganer character defecating

    What's it with blue LED christmas lights this year?

    I've seen a bunch of trees with them and frankly, they make my eyes water as much as trying to read antiskeptic's inane ramblings.

    Should have brought Grimlock instead. Kids love dinosaurs.

    Even worse I know people who've slowed down or changed lanes quickly or whatever thinking there's an accident/ checkpoint/ ambulance because of them on a road. They're as dangerous as religion, so they are!

    Just like me except for the blonde hair though. Us atheist girls are far too geeky and nerdy to be blonde.

    I hope you don't mind it's not reallly atheist or agnostic but I just wanted to share my xmas cone with my fellow heathens as a tree was just too much work. The cone was eh acquired legitimately I assure you and not taken home on some drunken party night...

    That's a right strange position for those christmas stockings.

    Looks like Santa had a nasty accident with a chainsaw.

    By my count the Transformers post has 30 likes and Robin's opening post has 28 so yeah.

    Much as I like the idea of Robin buying himself a well earned pint...

    But is 30 thanks significantly more than 28, statistically speaking?

    I should have phrased that better, what I meant was that I reckon not only are you in the lead, but you are probably the eventual winner:)
