Are you waiting patiently or impatiently for Dr. J to show up in his holiday outfit?

Asked by chyna (51635points) December 20th, 2010

@Camertron said we could expect Dr. J to have on his festive outfit today, December 20th. Still waiting, impatiently.

MIlo here: I’ll just decorate Gail instead.

Adirondackwannabe's avatar

@chyna Nice to see you’re still are in touch with your inner child.:)

Jude's avatar

Patient. :)

chyna's avatar

Gail will be beautiful decked out in tinsel and baubles.

wundayatta's avatar

Honestly, I don’t care. I never look up at that territory of the screen, so I wouldn’t notice, anyway unless some one pointed it out to me.

12:42 EST. No sign of the JClaus… ready to burst…

diavolobella's avatar

Cant…..stand….anticipation…...stress…..too.much..[faints]

augustlan's avatar

Patiently, but I’m edging in on anxious territory.

tinyfaery's avatar

I’m patient, but waiting.

JilltheTooth's avatar

This is what the war on Christmas has done to us.

Bluefreedom's avatar

Waiting patiently. I didn’t even know he had holiday garb until I saw this question.

JilltheTooth's avatar

<throws bucket of (warm) water on the bunny>

diavolobella's avatar

comes to and shakes water off tail

world_hello's avatar

It is just a hat and a candy cane. Nothing fancy unless they have spiced it up since it was live.

Tropical_Willie's avatar

I’m holding my breath, I can’t wait ANY longer. . . . . . . . . . .

augustlan's avatar

@Tropical_Willie Breathe, Willie! Breathe!

Jude's avatar

While we’re waiting, anyone care for some maple candy (directly off of the snow) from Canada or some sugar pie?

Adirondackwannabe's avatar

@Jude Do you have a name for the maple like that? My great grandmother used to call it sugar snow.

ANef_is_Enuf's avatar

I’m just here for the maple.

Jude's avatar

@Adirondackwannabe Maple taffy or as the Quebecois say “tire d’érable ”.

diavolobella's avatar

Ohhhh Jellyyyyy Clauuuuuusssss, Pleeeeeeese come out and playyyyyyyy!!!!

JilltheTooth's avatar

7:06 PM EST. Is he waiting to be spotted crossing the lunar eclipse? Is he planning some big Solstice entrance? Did I get the dates mixed up? Is Camertron toying with us?

chyna's avatar

I think that’s it @JilltheTooth. He must be timing it with the lunar eclipse, because I can’t think of any other reason he hasn’t appeared yet.

JilltheTooth's avatar

I shoulda brung my mittens.

JilltheTooth's avatar

Opening a bottle of wine and settling in. C’mon over all, we can sing Carols or whatever while we wait.

chyna's avatar

Got any beer?

JilltheTooth's avatar

Got a couple bottles of Guiness…how’s that?

chyna's avatar

I think we have two threads waiting on Jelly Claus. You guys are over at the town center, near the hardware store watching @dog drink out of the punch bowl, right?

JilltheTooth's avatar

Yeah, it’s a pretty good party over there. But your cookies are better. Maybe if we flood the site with anticipators, he’ll succumb to the pressure and get here quicker.

chyna's avatar

Why am I suddenly singing Pink Floyd’s Darkside of the Moon while waiting for Jelly Claus?

YARNLADY's avatar

He said the 20th, so I hope nothing’s gone wrong.

AstroChuck's avatar

Doesn’t matter to me. He seems to always like being naked on the iPhone version and that’s nearly the only version I’m on.

syz's avatar

Okay, I put my holiday duds on. Get with the program, Dr J.

JilltheTooth's avatar

@syz : I took a close look at your holiday duds…Demento Claus!

syz's avatar

Lol, that’s Dory, and she was severely unhappy with me at the time (Dory was brought in to the emergency clinic as a Hartz flea product toxicity and has brain damage as a result -she was named after the character in Finding Nemo.)

JilltheTooth's avatar

Ya think? I hope she forgave you…

chyna's avatar

@syz I love it!

syz's avatar

@JilltheTooth 30 seconds later, she had forgotten why she was mad….

JilltheTooth's avatar

And now her picture’s all over the internet! Watch your back…

Berserker's avatar

If I see jellyfish in a Santa suit dropping down the chimney I don’t have, it’s gonna be about time to cut down on the mescaline, amirite?

Jude's avatar

I wanted to see him in a yamaka!

:). Well, I did.

ChocolateReigns's avatar

Come on!!! It’s 7:15 at Fluther HQ and Dr. J still hasn’t put his Christmas suit on. Waiting, rather impatiently…

AmWiser's avatar

Yep! I’m waiting on Dr. J, so I’ll know how to dress my avatar – Riightt!. And I’m also waiting for the GA & GQ to show up in the Community Feed. It’ll all happen when I go to bed…I just know it. Dammit!

gailcalled's avatar

@Jude: (I think you mean yarmulke. Unless you’re talking about a motorcycle.)

chyna's avatar

He’s not coming, we might as well go to bed and hope for next year.

Jude's avatar

@gailcalled Ah, yes. Thank-you. :) Yarmulke.

camertron's avatar

Hello, everyone. Sorry Dr. J hasn’t put on his festive best, but unfortunately we’re not going to be able to do so until later (maybe even next year). The reason is something I can’t discuss right now – all I can do is tell you to watch carefully for the next blog post. It will explain everything. Merry Christmas to all of you, and happy holidays to those who don’t celebrate Christmas!

Trillian's avatar

Oh for pete’s sake

bob_'s avatar

Sounds like you guys got pwned.

rooeytoo's avatar

That’s too bad, he looked so cute!!!!!!

markyy's avatar

Don’t worry, the Grinch will save Christmas!

For those who just don’t feel like it’s Christmas without Dr J in his holiday outfit, I made a tiny extension that will work on your Google Chrome web browser. You can install the extension by going to this page and clicking on the green button that reads: “install”.

It will also work on Firefox, but you’ll have to install the Greasemonkey plugin for Firefox first.

Jude's avatar

There is always next year. :)

Thank-ya for coming. Grab your complimentary figgy pudding on your way out the door.

Jude's avatar

Who left the sugar pie with a cigarette butt in it underneath lazyboy?? Jellies!!!

Adirondackwannabe's avatar

@Jude That was me. I sneak one once in awhile.

Kayak8's avatar

Wait a sec, has anyone seen the—Grinch—er Camertron lately?

diavolobella's avatar

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh [deep gasping breath]...........waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh

Eggie's avatar

Waiting impatiently….......

jellyclaus's avatar

Hello, faithful jellies! This is Jellyclaus. Let me know what you’d all like for Christmas!

JilltheTooth's avatar

Ooooh! Now that he’s here (or is it a he????) I’m struck dimb with awe!

chyna's avatar

Ask him @JilltheTooth, ask him. Ask him for whatever it is you want for Christmas!

JilltheTooth's avatar

can’t…form…words…

JilltheTooth's avatar

Dear Jelly Claus, here’s what I want for Christmas. I want the Twitter thing to be great for the owners, and not change the real feeling of Fluther. Can you do that for me? (and all of us?)

diavolobella's avatar

[prods @JilltheTooth with elbow and whispers] Go aheadddd!! Dooo itttt.

diavolobella's avatar

Ugh! CNET called Dr. Jelly a “squid”. Idiots!!!

rooeytoo's avatar

@jellyclaus -wb mate, you may be politically incorrect, but you sure are cute!!!

As an interesting aside, I recently was sent a christmas card with a picture of a nativity scene on it. All the characters were dogs, the virgin mary was particularly attractive, an afghan hound with long flowing tresses, the babe was an adorable puppy. I found it to be amusing and cute since I am a puppy freak. But I thought to myself, if that had been done depicting a scene from many other religions, it could have prompted suicide bombings, church burnings and other retributions. Wonder what that all means??? Wonder if this will be modded as flame bait instead of just a comment on life in this crazy world.

@rooeytoo I added this to your gift list . . .

rooeytoo's avatar

@Kayak8 – hehehe, thank you, you are as naughty as I am!!!

Kayak8's avatar

@rooeytoo You have to love a world where a pug is almost as big as a German Shepherd.

Here comes @jellyclaus,
Here comes @jellyclaus,
Right down Jellyclaus Lane,
Vixen and Blitzen and all his reindeer
Pullin’ on the reins.
Bells are ringin’, children singin’,
All is merry and bright,
So jump in bed, and cover your head,
‘Cause @jellyclaus comes tonight.

YARNLADY's avatar

So, let me get this straight? We will no longer be honored by Dr J costumes or any other personal interaction with the now Twitterpated staff?

rooeytoo's avatar

@hehehe, @YARNLADY “twitterpated” great word!

YARNLADY's avatar

So how does this mean Dr. J won’t have a Santa Hat? I don’t get it.

augustlan's avatar

In the midst of a business deal, no changes should be made to a site, even minor ones like mascot costumes.

YARNLADY's avatar

@augustlan Boo Hoo, Wahhhhh, sob, sob, sniff, sniff. No fair. Wahhhhhhhhh.

Tropical_Willie's avatar

I’m going to hold my breath ! ! ! !

rooeytoo's avatar

But I thought the deal was for the humans not the site, I am getting confused. If it is only the humans jumping ship, why can’t the mascot have his hat?????

YARNLADY's avatar

Whaaaaa hah hah, eeeeeeee, huh huh huh oooooooooh whahhhhhhhh, sob, sob.

augustlan's avatar

I’d guess you just wouldn’t want to do anything that could rock the boat, you know? I miss JellyClaus, too.

ChocolateReigns's avatar

“Business deal”?! I’m holding my breath.

augustlan's avatar

^^ LOOK UP! ^^

Merry Christmas! :)

rooeytoo's avatar

Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Did you do that Auggie, good on ya!!

He looks adorable.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all!

augustlan's avatar

I can’t take the credit for this one. :D

Tropical_Willie's avatar

@augustlan Take the credit no one will know. ;-)

Bluefreedom's avatar

I’m glad the wait is over. I don’t know if I could have held out for even one minute longer.~

Dr. J is really stylin’ with that groovy santa hat and a gnarly candy cane in his bodacious tentacle. =)

chyna's avatar

Yay!!! I knew he would come. I knew he wouldn’t forget us!

ChocolateReigns's avatar

HE’S HERE!!!!

Give your thanks to the almighty @andrew on that one! Yay for Jellyclaus!

Merryful Christmas, Jelly Claus! (And all our Fluther boys!)
