where’s the goose?

so, it’s a week till xmas…

…and for some reason i had an odd holiday-themed thought:

where did they go get the goose in that scrooge story?

think about it – everbody’s taking xmas eve, xmas day, and ’cause that only leaves friday, xmas day + 1. this is pretty common in today’s society, right?

but at the end of scrooge’s excellent adventure he asks that kid what day it is, and he says it’s xmas. scrooge then tells him to go get him the “biggest goose in the shop”.

yeah, try that shit now…

don’t get me wrong – retail motherfuckers, needing every last nickel they can get their hands on, will be open late xmas eve, i’d imagine. grocery stores? maybe…but on xmas day? the way the work ethic is these days? shiiiitttt…you’ll be lucky if you can find a gas station or convenience store open; and those motherfuckers ain’t gonna have no geese to choose from. you’ll be getting the biggest slurpee in the shop if you’re lucky. with a side order of “thank you, come again!”

biggest goose in the shop my ass…
