He's one of the Lord's self-annointed.


Uh, it is you who have anointed yourself Ray, not I. I received what authority I have from other legitimate authority.

You have, like Korihor before you, your word only.

I'm just glad to see I made it in this year -- I think I was snubbed last year.

Indeed. I can't imagine why anyone would question Droopy's commission from God to grace us all with his presence here at Shady Acres.

No, you were their at the very beginning. This is the original, just as I wrote and posted it three Christmas seasons ago (this is, indeed, the third installment).

I've been through the archives over and over again, and cannot find the song I did about Scratch based upon the Grinch song from the old cartoon narrated by Boris Karloff. "You're a foul one, mister Scratch..."

Can't seem to find it. I'm sure it died with my old hard disk.

No, just a cliché, but a true one, and it rhymes.

Isn't that essentially what God said to Nephi when He gave Nephi the sealing power?
