Santa still at large

A man dressed as Santa (or was it Santa himself?) recently robbed a Wells Fargo bank in downtown San Francisco. There have been Santa-dressed criminals before, but what made this one slightly different was that the robbery occurred just as SantaCon was taking place in the city, which meant that there were hundreds of people dressed as Santa celebrating right outside the bank. So after the robbery, the perpetrator simply stepped out the door, blended in with all the other Santas, and got away. [KBCW, lowering the bar]

Whoa... there's something you don't see a lot of around here, forethought & planning. Or... was it just dumb luck?

A herd of santas can be almost as scary as a pack of clowns.

So BD: In Patty's gaggle, is there an unattached goose with (maybe) goslings that can fly unasisted. I may take a gander?

@BMN : You can take a "gander" .. she likes being watched 😉

@BD: If I only watch; how can I save the world?
