Antiperiodic Fibster

Those Whos are hard to frazzle, Max. But, we did our worst, and that's all that matters.

Today, I went to the Hockey Hall of Fame with my cousin who especially enjoys Hockey. We did all the usual finding people we recognised, and playing the interactive games, and such, but then we went to see the Stanley Cup. Walking up the stairs into the room where the cup resided, I was expecting to see some people in blue and white leafs jerseys, and orange and blue islanders jerseys, and such, but instead I came across a man sitting right next to the cup wearing red and white. "Ho ho ho" he said (to the displeasure of Australians), "Merry Christmas!"

Now, of all places I would have expected to se Santa, the Stanley Cup was not one of them. Suprisingly enough, he had an elf with him taking pictures, and they were selling them to visitors. I've noticed that most times that Santa is in some public place, he has an elf taking pictures with him... maybe the elf just really likes photography... anyway, just to make things better, I saw Santa again five minutes later at Union station, and ten minutes after that near the Eaton Center... each time with another elf, who was taking pictures. I seriously wonder whether Santa has the time to be taking photos with his elves when Christmas is in 3 days... not to mention, how did Santa go so much faster than my car, and between each siting shave or grow his beard longer, put on a coat that was a slightly different shade of red, and completley change how low his voice was?

I think the answer to this question is obvious: Santa is from the future. Some might argue that he's just magical, but, after all those Christians who claimed that harry potter was against their religion and supported satan, I doubt they would allow a magic-user to be one of their role models. Fortunately, this has very good implications for us:

1 - If Santa is from the future, then others must also be alive in the future (or at least he survived that long) meaning that global warming cannot really be that big of a problem. I wouldn't be suprised if Santa gives Al Gore a lump of coal every year.

2 - In the future we will be able to time travel. Quite frankly, I think time travel would be cool. I know it has lots of potential problems attached to it, but if Santa can successfully time travel, I'm sure anyone can.

3 - People in the future will be able to live long enough to make toys for millions of kids and deliver them for many many years. I think that living for a long time would be cool, but aside from that, this means that we will solve the overpopulation and limited resources problems too.

Although Santa only gives toys to those of his faith, I think we can all be happy that he sees us when we're sleeping (futuristic crystal balls?) and knows if we've been bad or good (mind reading?). I therefore thank you, Santa, for having appeared in multiple places in multiple forms, and hope that your elves satisfy their photographing needs (I hear the UTS photography club has low member turnout this year, if that insterests them). A la prochaine!
