The correct answer is one, but you'll get dirty stares anyway. Do you fold clothes before putting them in a suitcase or just throw everything in?

Clean? Obviously fold. I'm not an animal.

How is this even a question. Refuted
you may ask if we are folders or rollers and if that’s consistent with toilet paper method as well

That show, along with the Miller High Life commercial with the wagon being pulled through the snow to "I'll Be Home For Christmas" playing on a piano is what has told me that it was officially Christmas season ever since I was like 6 years old.

Good old regular cable TV pre-200 channels really did it up during the Turkey day to Christmas countdown. Vivid memories of certain commercials, ads on TV and radio and classic holiday shows and once again re-watching everything year in and year out definitely let you know it was Christmas season.
That ship sailed years ago for me….nothing they do nowadays has captured the season like it did back in my younger years.

I will tell you, I officially hate Christmas now. It has been commercialized so much that the entire holiday is ruined for me. It started with the whole Black Friday thing. They don't care about the holiday, they just want to make money.

We don't have a UFO thread? I thought we did but didn't see it.

The physicist who got a phone call from an alien!

Don't just snigger at this.
The guy is Jack Sarfatti. Check him out. He's a famous quantum physicist who I met through a friend. With my friend, he is about to publish a paper postulating that the universe was created in the future (don't even try to understand!!!), he's very civilised in every sense of the word, and intensely likable, and here's what happened to him when he was 13, in his own words:
"I was reading a book on computer switching circuits at home when the phone rang. I answered it and heard a strange sequence of clunking mechanical sounds. Then a metallic sounding voice comes on the line. A cold mechanical voice is the only way I can describe it. It gives a long series of numbers that I did not understand and then calls me ‘Jack’ and says it’s a ‘conscious computer on board a spacecraft’. It may have said it was from the future, but I am not sure. However, that was the implication of what it said. Anyway, it says I’ve been selected to be one of ‘400 young receptive minds’ to be part of a special project but that I must make the choice myself. The voice on the phone told me that I would begin to meet the others I was to work with in twenty years. I was scared and everything in me screamed to say NO! and hang up. I felt a strong jolt of electricity go up my spine to the base of my skull and I heard myself say YES. I was terrified and fascinated. The voice said ‘Good, go out on your fire-escape and we will send a ship to pick you up in ten minutes’. When I hung up I ran like a bat out of hell and found my friend Winky, who is now a homicide detective in Brooklyn. We, and a few other kids, went back to my apartment to wait for the flying saucer but it never came."
Years later, when Jack’s mother came across the account of Uri Geller’s alleged contact by a conscious computer aboard a spacecraft which mirrored Sarfatti’s experience even to the details, she said: “This sounds just like all those phone calls you got when you were a kid.” Sarfatti said, “I was stunned. I only remembered one phone call. I still only remember one call. Millie told me that there were many calls over a three week period. She said I was walking around glassy-eyed. Finally she picked up the phone and listened out of concern for me. She heard the cold mechanical voice. She told it to quit bothering me and stop calling. The calls stopped.”
The calls changed Jack's life and his work.
