I'm supposed to take the MCAT this Saturday, but of course back when I registered, the city wasn't enclosed in a dome (or a bubble?) and completely isolated from any outside world that might happen to exist. So . . . I hope the exam proctors still show up . . . and that the AAMC server or whatever works? And if not, I really hope this won't count against my maximum allowed attempts. (Can anyone who's already in med school or actually already a doctor please let me know how long it normally takes to die / how long it took you personally to die after the first time you took it?) Also, I just want to verify. There's no historical or, like . . . cultural version of Santa that looks like this, right?

Is Santa on fire?

[floret]

I feel like it's battle aura or something, but it could be fire.

[ohrlyeh]

are those eyebrows threatening to eat his face

[compendiem]

Hmm. Both options sound reasonable. Being Santa is a tough job. Sometimes you have to fight off the impostors.

[promisedyou]

I'm pretty sure Santa was never bald.

[floret]

Do you? Like mall Santas, you mean?

[floret]

I don't know if I'd call it a threat , but they are very powerful eyebrows. I'm not sure I made them long enough.

[floret]

If he usually wears a hat, how would we know, though?

[compendiem]

Exactly like that. There can only be one Santa for worship, after all.

[floret]

Yet he allows them to operate with impunity throughout almost the entire holiday season . . . Is he taking advantage of their usefulness in performing some of his labors, only to crush them when Christmas itself arrives?

[compendiem]

That's the way to do it. Did one of your memories involve Santa wars?

[floret]

Not specifically. I was thinking about Santa, and this gentleman happened to come to mind. I feel certain that he's immensely powerful and probably also fairly pitiless, and that he commands a reasonably vast force.

But I keep going back and forth on whether that means he's Santa.

[ohrlyeh]

they certainly are

attack of the killer eyebrows

[floret]

I can't really understand how they could even get that long. I wonder if he's got moles around his normal eyebrows and all this is mole hair? Because I know that pretty much just keeps growing if you let it.

Or maybe it's winter magic . . .

[ohrlyeh]

mole hair? what

i've never heard of anything like mole hair

maybe he's just not into eyebrow hygeine?

[drydrown]

There's a comment to be made, I'm sure, about how this is why we hope Santa is never shot down by NORAD.

[compendiem]

From how you describe him, he sounds like Santa. If you have memories of Santa... were you one of his enslaved elves?

[promisedyou]

Have you not seen the Coke CMs?

[floret]

?

Mole hair? You know, the hair that grows out of moles?

[floret]

The ones with the polar bears?

[floret]

I feel certain that NORAD doesn't have anything capable of destroying this man.

[floret]

Minato!!!!!


What if I was???

[drydrown]

Someone you've remembered, I'm assuming...?

[floret]

Well, yes. Kind of. I mean, I still don't feel sure of who he is, really, or how I knew him . . .
Does he look like Santa to you?

[drydrown]

Well...if one replaced his eyebrows with windsocks and set him on fire, perhaps?
