    • Oh-oh - The crowd is getting restless. Better call in the Rocket Riot Police before the gathered masses get totally out of control! Don't forget the Rocket Rubber Bullets & Rocket Laser Zappers.

    • SPECIAL NEWS REPORT: HOLIDAY DISASTER AVERTED BY WORLD RENOWNED MINER!

      What was thought to be the world's worst holiday crisis in decades, ChristmasGate, is now officially over. A series of unfortunate events has now been untangled and the world-wide terrorist alert, issued only hours ago, has been lifted.

      At first, authorities believed that Santa's foreman elf intentionally sabotaged Rudolph's nose in a rage about unfair wages. An emergency examination by none other than Regina Benjamin, the Surgeon General, revealed for the first time that Rudolph's nose is dependent upon solar power. Rudolph has undergone emergency surgery on his nose which now has a bionic battery backup. Dr. Benjamin assured the public that, "thanks to new laser surgery techniques, no one will notice a difference" in Rudolph's nose, which is currently insured by Lloyd's of London.

      And this, ladies and gentlemen, is the rest of the story...

      During the frantic last minute preparations for Santa's yearly trip, Mrs. Claus forgot to deposit the Gantry key in Santa's secret pocket and subsequently left it out on a table in the Elve's Lounge after his yearly departure speech. Later, the Gantry Key was mistakenly thrown away by the Abominable Snowman while visiting his friend, Hermey (the North Pole's only dentist) during his lunch break. They had been sampling free Dunkin' Donuts, a popular donut store who was holding their grand opening next to Starbucks in the new food court built earlier this year.

      Hermey was filling in for a sick elf as business is always slow this time of year. According to Hermey, the donuts had nuts, which irritated Abe's teeth. "I tried to warn him about those nuts, but he didn't listen. I guess he saw the gold key and thought it was a toothpick. I was in a rush to get back to work and I didn't notice what he was using. As usual, he just tossed it out when he was done. For once, I am happy he didn't recycle since we never thought to check the waste baskets!"

      During the following frenzied hours, Yukon Cornelious, the self-proclaimed "greatest prospector in the North," found the missing key in the snow approximately 200 yards from the Elve's Lounge. Mr. Cornelious was detained for several hours after attempting to get through tight security and refusing to divulge the location of the key to anyone other than Mrs. Claus or Santa himself. After a special security clearance was obtained, Mr. Cornelious was able to return the key to Mrs. Claus and was released without incident.

      In related news, the mysterious "sticky powder" on Gantry's special lock, first thought to be either a biohazard or explosive powder, was determined to be confectioner's sugar. It was inadvertently deposited by one of Santa's inspection elves on the quality assurance line. She was the last to touch the package prior to lift off. The new hire, who hails from the Island of Misfits, confessed she had consumed several Dunkin' Donuts and a Starbucks latte just before her shift and neglected to wash her hands. "What can I say, we are all really busy this time of year and Santa was in a rush. Who'd have thought a donut would have caused such a commotion?"

      Santa Claus has assured this reporter that no charges are being filed against Dunkin' Donuts as a settlement has been reached between the parties. Dunkin' Donuts will now supply free handi-wipes with every order.

      Clarice Deer, Rudolph's long time companion, was dispatched on a special mission to deliver the key to Santa. Thousands of elves waved goodbye as she embarked on this perilous and historic journey of the first female reindeer ever sent by Santa on a mission. She is bound for Washington along an undisclosed route and is accompanied by F-16 Falcons due to hunting season in certain parts of the country. She is stated as saying, "I can only hope they keep up. I'm in a hurry."

      Andy Miller, Chief RIA officer, has now cleared and released the Gantry package. After a shock which rocked the world, and due to cooperation amongst worldwide agencies which include Scotland Yard, the Gantry package had only a few hours delay. As we speak, authorized girls and boys are being notified individually of the secret download link once they have been cleared through Santa's Christmas list.

      Mr. Miller is to be honored at an upcoming ceremony for excellent security and prompt C.S.I. work by his devoted team. Yukon Cornelious is scheduled to receive the reward for locating the key but has donated the money to a special fund for the Abominable Snowman to obtain new teeth.

      "Abe and I have been friends for years and gold teeth are expensive for a big guy like him. I'm happy to help." Donations may be deposited at the North Pole Savings & Loan in the special account set up by RocketTheme Charities. Had it not been for his cunning tracking experience and unique knowledge of abominable snowman tracks, this could have resulted in a worldwide catastrophe.

      President Obama has withdrawn his "ChristmasGate" Bill and the vote scheduled for tomorrow's session has been cancelled. Obama was last seen shaking Santa's hand after a brief outing in the sleigh. All air traffic was cancelled for one hour as he and Santa cruised the capitol.

      A source close to the White House stated Michelle Obama and Mrs. Claus are planning a private New Year's Eve dinner for the two couples over the New Year. Santa and Mrs. Claus have wanted to sleep in the Jefferson Room for decades but have never been invited by previous administrations.

      Tara - your a newbie and we will forgive you, but here is the deal. If someone post a silly thread - it is a free for all. Rules like hijacking only apply to real post. :P
