OT: Crazy Christmas tradition

So I think I've mentioned on the board before that I served my Mormon mission in Southern Belgium and Northern and Eastern France. I started out in the town of Epinal in Eastern France, right along the Vosges mountains. The patron saint of Epinal is St. Nicholas, so being there during the holiday season was a big deal. In that part of France St. Nicholas brings toys to hide in children's shoes on December 6th, but he doesn't come alone. He has a helper ... Le Pere Fouettard (The Whipping Father.) He's covered in soot and carries a switch which he uses to beat naughty children. In some origin stories he was previously a butcher who cannibalized children and is forced to serve St. Nicholas as penance. I remember attending a Christmas parade in Epinal and seeing St. Nicholas and thinking "who the hell is that with him?" It was Le Pere Fouettard.
Anyway, this feels like a tradition worth spreading. Please share it with your children tonight and scare the living crap out of them.

…that Jackson Fvcking Arnold is IT.
Drafted JA over Arch and Nelson. Green and PJ also drafted. Mostly pointless… but still cool to see OU ‘croots getting more pub.

(Here’s the main snippet for the dollar shave club poors…)
College football's 2023 recruiting class is loaded with talent. There are 18 five-star prospects in the 2023 ESPN 300, which is the second-most five-stars in a recruiting cycle since 2016.
In fact, there is so much talent in this recruiting class that recruiting experts Craig Haubert and Tom Luginbill went back and forth drafting two superteams of 2023 prospects.
They went 22 rounds, going position-by-position seeking to draft the best group of players who will sign their national letters of intent during either the early signing period (Dec. 21-23) or February's national signing day (Feb. 1, 2023).
Each roster will be made up of 11 starters on offense and 11 starters on defense. Haubert and Luginbill were able to draft positions in any order. Given there are four five-star quarterbacks -- USC commit Malachi Nelson (No. 1), Texas commit Arch Manning (No. 2), Oregon commit Dante Moore (No. 3) and Oklahoma commit Jackson Arnold (No. 8) -- ranked in the top 10 overall, two of them won't be drafted.
Which future college football stars were drafted? Who has the edge? What were the biggest surprises? At the end, you can vote on who has the better superteam.
Haubert: I'm going to draft a little heavier in terms of guys I've seen play in person this year, but he had the most impressive performance I saw. He has played against good competition at Guyer High School (Texas), he has excellent ability as a passer with a quick release, and he's dangerous as a runner. He's a true dual threat who, I think, as a high school kid, can be a plug-and-play QB at Oklahoma.

“I put in a prediction back in November in favor of the Sooners, and I still feel confident in that pick as we go inside of one week before his final decision will have to be made. However, I would expect movement before then.
