Cellar Advent Calendar 09
I wasn't going to do this this year.... and then I saw today's IOTD and couldn't help myself....
December 1st: The cellar is feeling festive....
.
Nah do it up monnie, these usually turn out great.
:jig: I LURVE Monnie's advent calendar.

The Indian diamond merchant's fancy door, put you in the festive spirit? :bolt:
:jig: I LURVE Monnie's advent calendar.
Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without Monnie's advent calendar!
Oh grief, lay the pressure on, why don't you? :lol: It'll be late tonight most likely, I have a busy day that hasn't stopped yet.....
I love you Monnie. You are the embodiment of all I wish to be, but don't have the time or energy to.
Must be a splinter group of "Cellar Think Tank Unillimited".
May the C.R.A.P.S.'ses and the C.T.T.U'ses. Unite! ;)
(stunning blow to the sense of taste, of all)
Shouldn't that be "Me's'sage . . . Apo'strophe Placement 'Society"?
ETA: How could I forget "Chri'stma's" ?
S'houldn't that be "Me's'sage . . . Apo'strophe Placement 'Society"?
ETA: How could I forget "Chri'stma's" ?
Fiks'ed it fer ya!

No, the Cellar Unlimited Notation Terrorists splintered off from the CRAP society back in Fe'br'ary

Santa Shark is coming to town...
How would you like your steak? Rare, medium or pre-eaten?
or is it actually a d.....?
It was a very popular pic when it was IOTD. I guess the steaks are aged, now....
Hello? Hello? *tap tap tap* Is this thing on?
.
Vicious little bastards, koalas are.
They'd fit right in.
it's a dolphin shaped poop!
also, what does TCI Friday stand for?
Thank Cellar it's.....
.....Friday is recipe day and who doesn't need a good cute animal recipe by the end of the week.....?
'Tis Cunting Friday?
Enjoying muchly Monster, thanks for the time & effort.
yw. Oh shit is Sunday nearly over? wait.............
Ah, the Christmas ham is ready.
That's some pig, alright.
Uh oh.... lj -did you do bad things?
.
I'm a little late but I just wanted to thank monnie.
As always, the calendar is superb and I always enjoy Santa Shark...dolphin.
Uh oh.... lj -did you do bad things?
lj isn't bad. He's just drawn that way. :D
Besides, I think we're on the list for joking about cooking Rudolph.
har. pie's tree rammed up sg's arsie?
...did you read that on the bathroom door?
you mean you hated all the others...? :cry:
Especially love that one.
OMG - you know pine needles slip in easily enough... They're a hell of a lot messier when you withdraw.
See you when I get back from A&E.
Don't worry, they're used to me. I had the same problem with the salmon last year.
Love it! LOL!
"You Bastard!" "My apostrophe was abused on 9/11!" (only on the cellar) :)
Outside of the cellar that would make no sense whatsoever. Hilarious!
Let's not forget what advent is really about....
.
Shouldn't this have been for a Friday?
Great work, Mon.
No, that wouldn't be appropriate.. no meat on Friday.
Love it! LOL!
"You Bastard!" "My apostrophe was abused on 9/11!" (only on the cellar) :)

If you think about it... it should make no sense here either. ;)
The Cellar is getting flaky... (four to find)...
.

Now That would Be a Party !!!!
It would not be x mas without the advent calendar! =D
I see zip, mon, and smooth...

I see zip, mon, and smooth...

I can't see anything else.
Ohhh.... I see.... kinda...

The snowflake is a masterpiece!
Thank yous. yup it's all a little kinda when you turn it into the negative of a b&w
Was it Russia? Or Israel....? ;)
Happy Hannukah!

Hynpotic...
In a Jewish kind of way...
Hynpotic...
Say what?
That's what I thought. In fact, I thought I'd misread ZenGum for ZippyT :D.
Hy n pot i c...
Hydroponically
natural
POT . . .
is
cool.
oops wrong
thread - sorry
You ignorant rabble, don't you know Hynpotos was the high priest of Jerusalem when the first menorah was made? :p
I thought I was being nice by not pointing out that a menorah should have seven arms; The Lord was very specific about this. I guess pedantry (after Pedantos, Hynpotos' uncle) would have suited the cellar better. :D
Fuck Hynpotic, he's passé.
The Jews found only enough ritually pure olive oil to light the menorah for one day, but the supply miraculously lasted eight days until a new supply could be obtained. In celebration of this miracle, the chanukkiyah has eight branches for eight candles or oil lamps, none higher than any other. These lamps are not to be used for secular purposes, such as providing the sole source of light or heat for the room. The Hanukkah menorah has a ninth branch for an auxiliary candle, the shamash, that, by shedding its own light, keeps the other candles from inadvertently serving any purpose other than their ritual one. The shamash is also used to light the other candles. The holder for the shamash candle is generally distinguished in some way from the other eight, traditionally being placed higher than the others, and often in the center, with four of the other candles on each side.
Guess I should have stuck to nice!
From the font of all knowledge:
* Menorah (Temple) - a seven-branched candelabrum which has been a symbol of Judaism for almost 3000 years and is the emblem of Israel. It was used in the ancient Temple in Jerusalem.
* Menorah (Hanukkah), a nine-branched candelabrum used on Hanukkah
I only knew about the standard Menorah... (what is the plural? Menorim?) I didn't know about the special Hanukkah model.
Thanks Bruce!

Bruce is our resident Jewish Scholar!
Oh no, they cut off the line where it says Zen must think I'm a complete Menoran MORAN..... :p
.
I absolutely deny counting the legs on the FSM logo...
You ignorant rabble,...
UG, how did you get Zen's password?

Good to know I'm not the only member of the Tribe in the Cellar!
I'm not a member of the tribe, buy I play with them occasionally. :blush:
Happy Chanukah, Impress, et al

[COLOR="White"](only one is valid as per the picture - sorry bout the explanation but I'm just too anal to have someone think I wa's'n't joking...)[/COLOR]

I suppose " I<3AynRand " was a bit of a gimme.

Thanks, LumberJim! I enjoyed that!
Haha, quick turn around on that one!
i thank you ...you did notice 2 IOTDs, right? ;) ..I almost went for a threefer, but I didn't want to be the subject of any medical lawsuits....
Okay. At last I can anticipate getting a life-long question answered. You've used the term "sarnies". The first time I ever heard that term was on "Thick as a Brick" ('while queueing for sarnies at the office canteen'). WTF does sarnies mean?
Whachoo want, couple 'a sarnies?
[YOUTUBE]hp69rg6Hdlo[/YOUTUBE]
[translator]"sarnies" - Brit slang for sandwiches.[/translator]
them are some tight pants, bay-beeeeeeee.
What's beige and stuffed? IronLungurkey

looks like that bird might be a tad dry
Dec 26th! "butties" nom nom nom :)
must ... not ... count ... branches .... :D
is a different # for kwanzaa ... :p
The kinara is the candle holder used in Kwanzaa celebrations in the United States. Its divergent shape represents the roots that African Americans have in continental Africa. During the week-long celebration of Kwanzaa, seven candles are placed in the kinara - three red on the left, three green on the right, and a single black candle in the center.
The seven candles represent the Seven Principles (or Nguzo Saba) of Kwanzaa. Red, green, and black are the symbolic colors of the holiday.
The story continues....
.
Holy fuck.
Is that any way for a baby to talk. :mg:
Baby Herman was always my hero.
wow, monster. you're like .....awesome or something
Hey I Know that shoe girl !!!
orly? not in that outfit, though :lol:
in her Peppermint sweater
It's not peppermint, it's pink and red ffs!
Tragic, really, all those shoes, and no feet.
December 19th
:cry: Sad but true. A couple of us Dwellars even had a side bet on this happening ... looks like I'm going to lose again :cry:
what? I got the date wrong? Nope it's definitely the 20th today....
...oh wait you mean it never happened so you get the lame santa award?
I thought she meant that Bri wouldn't post pictures of her Secret Santa gift...?
I'm confused by this last advent pic. Why have Zen, Bri, tw, Bruce and WHip all been nominated?
I didn't really understand the last one either. But you know they are art. So I'm just going with it.
"The Dude abides.", The Dude, The Big Lebowski.
I liked it, I just didn't get it lol.
I liked it - I didn't get the other nominations but [SIZE="7"]BRI HASN'T POSTED PICS OF HER SECRET SANTA STUFF YET[/SIZE] (ahem) and I thought that was the point of it ...
Yay! I win!
Well, at last I got what Limey meant.
Now to speak for someone else who doesn't need me to ;)
I believe that the award is for people NOT taking photographs.
All mentioned are camera shy either in general or regarding specific events. And more than one of those nominated has requested photos on the basis that if we don't see them it didn't happen.
Right "Pics or it never happened"......
Most of the others were featured in the unseen dwellars poll, xoB is notoriously unpictured, and Brianna promised pics of her cock pin and has yet to pony up...
WHERE DID YOU GET MY PICTURE FROM?
More importantly, what are you doing to that guy? :whofart:
Stop touching my nipple Zen!
Stop pretending you don't love it.
orly? not in that outfit, though :lol:
I've never seen her before. (I don't think.)
Anyway, being canonized sounds painful.
Is that some special Chanukkah cock?
mebbe you need to investgate more closely, Zen....
lol I think that's my favourite so far.
Blimey.
I know the Spaniards have a crapper in the corner of their nativity, but I don't think I've seen a big black boner before!
Well played Monnie.
thats great Monnie - you are awesome.
Sorry it was late guys ...I had it all ready to go last night then crashed out....
[COLOR="DarkSlateBlue"]....did you notice the two little ones on the right? awwww.....[/COLOR]
Oh they're snuggling! Good show, good show.
So I guess we have the full scale Dwellar nativity to come today?
That's the plus side of growing up Catholic - the 24th is almost as good as Christmas Day because the advent calendar has TWO doors and a full colour scene! We didn't need chocolates in those days (grumble, grumble kids today).
I used to love the advent calendar when I was a kid. No chocs. Just really nice colourful pics.
Never saw an Advent Calendar till I came here.
So I guess we have the full scale Dwellar nativity to come today?

oh gawd.... rly? better get to work then....... :lol:
