There will be no Nativity Scene in Washington, DC this year!
The Supreme Court has ruled that there cannot be a Nativity Scene in Washington, DC this Christmas season. This isn't for any religious reason, they simply have not been able to find three wise men and a virgin in the Nation's capitol.
There was no problem, however, finding enough asses to fill the stable.

Just walk down the halls of Congress. You could get enough asses in 5 minutes to fill a dozen stables .

I'd think we can find at least 3 wise men here and maybe a couple of asses, a whole bunch of sheeps, too.

It's the same predicament up here in theCity too with holiday themes that people want to staff.

In our YVC-YourVillageCalled offices a few years ago.
Office worker Helga's twin boys were loaned to theCompany for a few days as they played "Cherubim" for theNativity scene.

Jerry from Accounting lent his stuffed Dahl sheep, his trophy Moose head and a small caribou as well.

Arlene from the downstairs Optical shop sent her hubby and his friends out for some trees to stand throughout the main floor and foyer (after decorating them as Christmas trees).

But the men just got drunk out in the woods and brought back a few truck loads of 8' and 3' sections of wood (no branches!)

I tell you, I tell you. The shenanigans never ends at YVC!!
We'll see what happens this next Christmas.

luvs, theSam!!

Poop Moose Has Bottomed Out!!!

theSam!! says: I found this story online. And it's sad.. *lifts head and eats* to see that a true Alaskan cultural icon like this has to FALL by the wayside. And ann... *lifts head and eats* I see these items in stores all over the place too. We even got one. But the niftiest thing was theCollapsible Alaskan Outhouse. It was like,,, a puzzle. And you'd assemble it and stand it up. Then an unsuspecting person (preferably someone that ISN'T Alaskan) comes along and see the cute curio and grabs the tiny Outhouse door to peek inside and...... *Crash!!* ...the whole set up collapses. Anyway, on with theMoose story. I mean... *lifts head and eats* at the height of this guys success. which for a REAL Moose would be about 5.4feet considering that the...the.. you know..

Institute Director Resigns from the Mormon church

SHOOTING THE MESSENGER By Ken Clark I need to admit up right away that I’m a little bitter. I feel lied to and used. The church had every opportunity to be truthful from the time my wife and I took the discussions to the time we left. Out of the Mormon Church My wife and I left the LDS Church on August 7th, 2002, the same day that I resigned as Institute Director of the Pullman Washington Institute of Religion, and the LDS Church Education System (CES). I had worked full-time for CES for 27 years. I’m also a former bishop, high councilman, stake young men’s president, high priest’s group leader, ward mission leader, ward young men’s president, and more. I wasn’t a casual Mormon who lived on the fringes. I had been seriously looking for another job for some time due to harassment from Priesthood (PH) leaders and CES administrators. I couldn’t take it anymore. They were not crazy about my teaching style. I was honest in a gentle way with institute students about the church’s history and ...

Alaska Village Tales

This is from theAnchorage Daily News, online edition, which I'm accessing at 0512hrs on 01 Sat 2007 Murder over $20 in drugs nets 75 years in prison ALASKA DIGEST Published: September 1, 2007 Last Modified: September 1, 2007 at 01:50 AM FAIRBANKS -- A 19-year-old man has been sentenced to 75 years in prison for shooting another man twice in the head over a bungled $20 marijuana deal. David Cox was sentenced Thursday in Fairbanks Superior Court. Cox went to trial in February on charges of first-degree murder and evidence tampering in the death of Gary Lee Titus, 22, on July 22, 2006. But Cox pleaded no contest to the murder charge before the case went to a jury. Cox's attorney, Susan Carney, maintains that Cox drew his .22-caliber handgun and began firing because he thought Titus, who was accompanied by six or seven other young men, had planned to rob him. Prosecutor Jeff O'Bryant said that Cox meant to kill Titus in an act of bravado. A tattoo on one of Cox's forearms s...
