From all of us at DTR

HAVE A PROPERLY LICENSED HOLIDAY

With the holidays fast approaching and EULAs pretty much a fact of life, please accept -- with no obligation, implied or implicit, on behalf of the wisher or wishee -- our best wishes for an environmentally-conscious, socially-responsible, low-stress, non-addictive, gender-neutral celebration of the winter solstice, practiced within the traditions and/or within the religious or secular belief(s) of your choice and with respect for the traditions and/or religious or secular beliefs of others or for their choice to not practice traditions and/or religious or secular beliefs at all; and for a fiscally-successful, personally-fulfilling, medically-uncomplicated recognition of the onset of what is generally accepted as the new Gregorian calendar year, but with due respect for calendars of other cultures whose contributions to society have helped make America great*, and without regard to the race, creed, color, age, physical ability, sexual orientation, political affiliation, or choice of computer operating system of the wisher.



DISCLAIMER

By accepting this greeting you are accepting the terms of the greeting and all responsibility associated with it. This greeting is subject to clarification and/or revocation at any time at the discretion of the wisher. This greeting is non-transferable without the express written consent of the wisher. It implies no promise by the wisher to actually implement any of the wishes for him/herself or for others. This greeting is warranted to perform as expected within the usual application of good tidings for a period of one year or until the issuance of a subsequent holiday greeting, whichever comes first. Warranty is limited to replacement of this greeting or issuance of a new greeting at the sole discretion of the wisher, who assumes no responsibility for any unintended emotional stress this greeting may bring to those not caught up in the holiday spirit.



By accepting this greeting you agree to subscribe to annual updates at a cost completely arbitrary to the wisher at the time of renewal. Failure to subscribe - in effect, failure to renew this greeting - will result in forfeiture of the original greeting, loss of your parents' homes, euthanasia for your and your neighbors' pets, and prosecution in a kangaroo court of law comprised of the wisher's closest friends and paid business associates, convened by the wisher at a location deemed most inconvenient to you. Reading of this disclaimer constitutes your acceptance of the greeting. Oh, and I almost forgot...this disclaimer supersedes all local, state and federal laws previously enacted to prevent such disclaimers from superseding all local, state and federal laws.



* -- This does not imply that the United States of America is necessarily greater than any other country, or that it is the only America in the western and/or eastern hemispheres.

ratsun, I am deeply offended by your insistence that I celebrate your pagan holiday and your harrassment for me to accept a superior being in order for me to loose my own self will and be molded to fit your people's needs. I must give you a written warning, which in the prescence of these administrators, whom are legally bound to serve as witnesses, I am here presenting you. Any further such harrassment towards me about said holiday will provoke immediate legal reaction on my behalf, and I must threaten you with legal action not only against yourself for mental pain and suffering but also against all of DTR for allowing such racial, social and religious persecution to take place and cause some of us severe mental anguish. We Americans will not allow any such public place to harbor dissent against our majority by attempting to force religion upon us, and we will not rest until any such places of conspiracy and religious fanatical plotting are put to oblivion.

Merry Christmas, remember his love whom our lives are modeled after.

I hesitate to articulate on said above licensed holiday document for fear that I might deviate from the true course of rectitude. Therefore, I shall consult my attorney as to the intent of said document. When a decision is reached, I shall inform you in writing with my response.

Sincerely, and Most Respectfully: Flashdancr

OK, I hereby am informing you of my rights to free speach. I choose to express my feeling by displaying symbols of of my beliefs, ie. the American Flag, the Christmas tree and all of the other Christmas decorations. If you are offended by such words and symbols, then you have the right to leave the room, building, state, or country to protect your eyes and ears. It may not be Season a of celebration to you, however to me and many others, it is, and it will always be known as Christmas . I for one find it rude and offensive when 2 or more people are speaking a language, other than english, in Public places. Do I whine and sue? NO, I excercise my rights and leave, so if you are offended by the next statement, then I suggest you turn off your computer, without reading anyfurther.







MERRY CHRISTMAS
AND
HAPPY NEW YEAR

After my attorney’s review of above said Licensed Holiday document, he informs me that:

1. That the clause that states: “Reading of this disclaimer constitutes your acceptance of the greeting”, means you’ve been screwed, it would take millions in legal fees and a reprieve from the President of the United States to disentangle yourself from these goofballs.
2. Said author of said document missed his calling to be an attorney. That guy can confuse anyone, which is of utmost importance for an attorney.
3. As for the clause, that states “unintended emotional stress”, this document would stress out the Supreme Court.
4. You’re all a bunch of nuts and need to be committed.
5. You’ve had way too much Eggnog
6. The diesel fumes have damage your brains
7. You have way too much time on your hands
8. You need to inform anyone involved with said document that the use of non-prescription drugs is illegal.
9. My involvement or any other person’s involvement with said persons responsible for said document constitutes grounds for committal.

With the information I have received from my attorney, my response is.

Cool, sounds like my kind of people!
Merry Christmas Ya’ll & Happy New Year!

TENGA Un DÍA DE FIESTA CORRECTAMENTE LICENCIADO

Con los días de fiesta ayunan el acercarse y EULAs bastante mucho un hecho de la vida, aceptan por favor -- sin la obligación, implicada o implícita, a nombre del wisher o del wishee -- nuestros recuerdos para un ambiental-consciente, social-responsables, bajo-tensionan, no-adictiva, ge'nero-neutral celebración del solsticio del invierno, practicada dentro de las tradiciones y/o dentro del belief(s) religioso o secular de su opción y con el respecto por las radiciones y/o la creencia religiosa o secular de otras o para que su opción no practique tradiciones y/o creencia religiosa o secular en todos; y para un reconocimiento fiscal-acertado, personal-satisfaciente, me'dico-sencillo del inicio de qué se acepta generalmente como el nuevo año civil gregoriano, pero con el respecto debido por los calendarios de otras culturas que contribuciones a la sociedad han ayudado a hacer América grande *, y sin consideración alguna hacia la raza, el credo, el color, la edad, la capacidad física, la orientación sexual, la afiliación política, o la opción del sistema operativo de la computadora del wisher.

NEGACIÓN
Aceptando este saludo usted está aceptando los términos del saludo y de toda la responsabilidad asociados a él. Este saludo está conforme a la clarificación y/o a la revocación en cualquier momento en la discreción del wisher. Este saludo es intransferible sin el consentimiento escrito expreso del wisher. No implica ninguna promesa por el wisher de poner realmente cualesquiera en ejecucio'n de los deseos para him/herself o para otros. Este saludo se autoriza para realizarse según lo esperado dentro del uso generalmente de los buenos tidings por un período de un año o hasta la emisión de un saludo subsecuente del día de fiesta, cualquiera viene primero. La garantía se limita al reemplazo de este saludo o la emisión de un nuevo saludo en la discreción única del wisher, que no asume ninguna responsabilidad de ninguna tensión emocional involuntaria este saludo puede traer a ésos no cogidos para arriba en el alcohol del día de fiesta. Aceptando este saludo usted acuerda suscribir a las actualizaciones anuales en un coste totalmente arbitrario el wisher a la hora de la renovación. La falta de suscribir - en efecto, falta de renovar este saludo - dará lugar a la pérdida del saludo original, pérdida de su parents' hogares, euthanasia para su y su neighbors' los animales domésticos, y el procesamiento en una corte del canguro de la ley abarcada de los amigos más cercanos de wisher's y de los socios pagados, convocado por el wisher en una localización le juzgaban los más incómodos. La lectura de esta negación constituye su aceptación del saludo. El Oh, y yo casi nos olvidamos... esta negación reemplaza todo el local, estado y leyes federales decretados previamente para evitar que tales negaciones reemplacen todo el local, estado y leyes federales.

* -- Esto no implica que el Estados Unidos de América es necesariamente mayor que cualquier otro país, o que es la única América en los hemisferios occidentales y/o del este.
