I'm fine with that, but don't they normally post such? I know they did last week, but ... ok I'll shut up and stop being so pedantic.

I don't think there is normally a "boxing day." It's probably just another random theme day.

'Boxing Day' is the British name for the 26th December. The name comes from many centuries ago when Churches would use the day to empty their gift boxes, count up the money and divide it to the local poor and needy. Why they only did this once a year is anyones guess.

Because english people are skinflints?

Just kidding.

[JhasNeeh]

I'd take that personally if it wasn't so true.

That's amazing, I have to admit.
If I ever get that from the petpet lab ray (fat chance) - I'm keeping it.

are they going off of the golden compass here with the kitty cat or warrior thing?

are they going off of the golden compass here with the kitty cat or warrior thing?

Ummm, no. It is off the actual game, which is taken from the books - Warriors. Which is about domestic cats living in warrior clans.


I saw the Golden Compass on Boxing Day and there is nothing remotely similar to 'kitty cat (kittypet) or warrior.

You asked a question, I answered it. Can please watch your attitude, no need for nastiness around here.

I really like that they celebrated a day that's not celebrated here in the States. Though, obviously by my reaction, they didn't make it very clear. But still, I got to learn something new today
