Ken and People Like Us, and People Unlike Them,

Cromagnon's might be related to Negativland. Found on the interwebz:

"They had a big concept, and ESP-Disk was behind it, and the result was Orgasm, a jumble of rackety percussion, chants, shouts, moans, giggles, whispers, drones, found sounds, bizarre rituals, ethno-freak-outs and one actual song, “Caledonia,” a sort of metal bagpipe reel, and the only album released by the weird collective known as Cromagnon. The story was that Grasmere and Elliot contacted a hippie commune to record with a group of musicians known only as the “Connecticut Tribe” that may or may not have included future members of The Residents and Negativland, which added a ton of mystique to the already bizarre album."

I think Krampus was just an ordinary guy who was driven crazy by the non-stop sappy Christmas music and Black Friday doorbusters, and one day he just snapped.

Hey all! Anyone else switching away from the impeachment hearings? What they are doing right now with these Constitutional scholars is so bad. Being preached to endlessly about “Impeachment is bad because high crimes and misdemeanors and this is the Constitution and this is wrong and there are laws… Blah… Blah… Blah…” It’s like a bad speech at the end of a film noir before the bad guy gets locked up.

There are only three Xmas characters that are worth knowing.

Nope. I'm not talking about Baby Jesus, Mary or the Donkey. BUT Krampus, Shitter (Caganer) and Uncle Shit (Caga Tio). The last two come from the great Catalan tradition of mixing shit with Xmas.

I ask for the 3rd and final time:" Does Krampus have lesser powers in the daylight hours as compared to the dark hours?"
Walking in a cold Spanish rain gave me further questions:
Are there female Krampuses/Krampi?
Or are they gender neutral?
Which is the correct plural???
How do they/it/they procreate???

Cannot make it to the Dec 7th screenings, but I am sure it is
"a date that will live on in infamy!!!!!"
