Were the 11 twits meant to be invisible? Not sure how to represent a twit, but if anyone could, that would be Josh.
Thanks for the seasonal merriment!
REPLY: Hit refresh to see the Twits
Hehe. Very cute. Anthony, you need the pics for the twits a tweeting.
And may you and your have a blessed holiday season.
Merry Christmas! That was great!
Merry Christmas everyone.
Very good! – I expect I’d probably have been far more unreserved had I written the lyrics! LOL
May I respectfully take this opportunity to wish all a Merry Christmas and Prosperous New Year!

Humour and ridicule are always the best weapons.
Funny.
Fantastic (and educational) site.
And, yes, Merry Christmas to all.
“Nine models tripping”
Josh and Anthony, that was absolutely brilliant and thoroughly enjoyable! And even though Josh’s .sig is missing in action – again! – I know it’s the “real thing” 😉
All the best to you both (and to your respective families) for a joyous festive season.

Wonderful! I laughed so hard, I had tears running down my face. That is a keeper! Thank you!
A Very Merry Christmas to you and yours, Anthony, and to everyone out there, whichever side you are on. Cheers, all. 🙂
Excellent! I think Minnesotans For Global Warming could make use of that…
Reblogged this on Iain Hall's SANDPIT and commented:
This just begs for a you tube clip!
Cheers Comrades
And in addition to Happy Holidays, I’d like to sing the Universe Electric for having the gumption to ignore all the prognostications and cycle through another day and another (for the NH on the 3rd planet in this system) wonderful Winter Solstice, and for those of a SH bent, wonderful Summer Solstice.
Wonderfully done and a Merry Christmas to all!
🙂
Michael, cuddling up next to the fireplace with three low-wattage colorful CFL Christmas Tree bulbs in it…. a yearly extravagance.
Mannic!
Clev-Ah!
Ho! Ho! Ho! (Not Hayhoe) Marry Christmas.
Having just crept out from under my bed, safe in the knowledge the world still existed, I’m pleased to wish a Happy Christmas and a benevolent New Year to Anthony and all visitors. Even warmists.
Well it is the season of goodwill to all men. Don’t shout at me.
Wishing everyone SHIRU!

A happy holiday to Anthony and family and to those reading this thread,
From a merry old soul.
There is a like minded one about CAGW on utube but I didn.t save the link. So sorry.
Great stuff Anthony and thanks for all your efforts for the year. You really make a difference.
BTW, you can add to that the warmists’ serenity prayer:
God grant me the BIAS to reject the facts I hate, the BLINDNESS to embrace the ones I love and the BAD MANNERS to address those who try to show me the difference.
Merry Christmas and a happy New Year.
That was fun. Thanks!
