Four. Got two unfortunate guesses on the dates, I guess. And number four is just lame. *NM* Legolas - 16/12/2011 11:10:45 PM 234 Views
So lame I can't even reply in the right place, clearly. *NM* Legolas - 16/12/2011 11:10:59 PM 258 Views

Ya know, that song seems kinda strange on reflection Isaac - 16/12/2011 08:27:14 PM 660 Views
Yeah, they do interpret it rather strangely there... but I guess grammatically it makes sense. Legolas - 16/12/2011 11:16:56 PM 556 Views
I have always considered it ambiguous, personally. Joel - 17/12/2011 01:34:46 PM 605 Views
Yeah, it was a rough one to have missed Isaac - 17/12/2011 07:52:22 PM 563 Views

You obviously weren't raised Catholic Tom - 17/12/2011 05:22:51 PM 546 Views
No, but I have a good friend who is Catholic and attends a Midnight Mass seemingly every week. Joel - 17/12/2011 07:19:17 PM 563 Views
