All right, the general tenor HAHAHA of these titles reminds me of a little story my father wrote. At least he says he wrote it, and I believe him, although it is possible he's pulling my leg. But since he has the best vocabulary I've ever encountered, he probably did write it. Or could have. Has nothing whatsoever to do with Christmas, but you may enjoy it anyway.

The Triad of Diminutive Porcine Quadrupeds

The initial diminutive porcine quadruped fabricated his domicile of dessicated monocotyledenous herbage. The rami of angiospermous arborescent flora constituted the habitation of the secondary diminutive porcine quadruped, but the tertiary diminutive quadruped assembled his commorancy from adamantine hexahedrons.

Then comes one Canis Lupus, petitioning entrance seriatim into each domicile by minatory declamations concerning extreme aeolian perturbations. The negativism expressed by the first two porcine quadrupeds brought about an ex parte response by the Lupus and the subsequent aeolian demolition of their domiciles. Shortly thereafter, said Lupus engaged in porciphagous gourmandising.

Finally Canis Lupus approached the commorancy of the tertiary diminutive porcine quadruped and petitioned entrance by the same minatory pronouncements. The porcine's antiphon was, "The hirsute component of my lower mandible's distal extremity renders the option of breaching the exterior of my edifice a nullity." Thereupon, the Lupus repeatedly created aeolian perturbations of the most severe sort until he was totally enervated, but the commorancy of hexahedrons proved totally renitent.

One of my favorite variations from who knows where:

Valentino, the roseate proboscided wapiti.
MoJo
and who says benefits geeks have no "breadth." I bet mere lay people don't even know what a wapiti is!
Belgarath
I wasn't going to say anything, but I suppose since we are all a bit inclined toward technical language, that this should be "rangifer" rather than wapiti. Wapiti is an elk, I believe.

I recall a little story about Rudolf Nicholyevich, who lived with his wife near Gorky Park. One afternoon, as he was eating his meal of tea, borscht, and black bread, he looked out the window. "Would you look at that" he grumbled to his wife, "It's starting to rain." "No it isn't" replied his wife, "It's snowing." He said, "NO, it's raining." She replied yet again, "No, it's SNOWING." Whereupon he replied, as you've already guessed, "Rudolf, the Red, knows rain, dear."
