I shall not go into my childhood bewilderment with MY father's and grandfather's hate of the word "Papa." I shall instead simply and briefly state why I am proud to claim the title.
1. Six children
2. It's universally understood in latin based languages
3. Six well behaved children
4. It implies a relationship to a mama. (Don't read too deep on that one.)
5. It carries responsibility
6. My children honor me every day I come home with a happy chorus of "Pa-pa-J-J-J, Pa-pa-J-J-J-J." Sung to the intro of Styx's "Blue Collar Man"

This version of name that line should see a lot of high scores since we all love the Chrismas movies.
* I shortened some names so the quotes wouldn't be TOO easy.
1. [Shoved down the slide, but he stops himself and climbs back up] "No! No! I want an Official Red Ryder Carbine-Action Two-Hundred-Shot Range Model Air Rifle!" "You'll shoot your eye out, kid."
2. "What is it you want, M*? What do you want? You want the moon? Just say the word and I'll throw a lasso around it and pull it down. Hey. That's a pretty good idea. I'll give you the moon, M*." "I'll take it. Then what?" "Well, then you can swallow it, and it'll all dissolve, see... and the moonbeams would shoot out of your fingers and your toes and the ends of your hair... am I talking too much?"
3. "You're supposed to drink the milk." "Look, I am lactose intolerant! And I'm just about this close to taking all those presents back up the chimney. Supposed to drink the milk!"
4. "Wait a minute, I got it. I got it. I got it. How about this: The Molintator." "The Molinator. I like it. Thank you, Santa. Can we vote right now on The Molinator?"
5. "This bell is a wonderful symbol of the spirit of Christmas- as am I. Just remember, the true spirit of Christmas lies in your heart."
6. "Have you seen these toilets? They're GINORMOUS!"
7. "Welcome, Christmas, bring your cheer. Cheer to all Whos far and near. Christmas Day is in our grasp so long as we have hands to clasp. Christmas Day will always be just as long as we have we. Welcome Christmas while we stand, heart to heart and hand in hand."
8. "What is your name?" "K* K*." "Where do you live?" "That's what this hearing will decide."
9. "[shouting in desperation] Isn't there anyone out there who can tell me what Christmas is all about?" "Sure, C*B*, I can tell you. Lights, please. [a spotlight shines] "And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the fields, keeping watch over their flocks by night. And lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the lord shone round about them, and they were so afraid. And the angel said unto them, Fear not, for behold, I bring unto you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you this day is born in the City of Bethlehem, a Savior, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; you shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel, a multitude of the heavenly host, praising God, and saying, 'Glory to God in the highest, and on Earth peace, good will toward men'". That's what Christmas is all about, C* B*.
10. "Hello there... I-I-I-I... Oh dear... Oh... Oh, you're-you're... I'm W* K* and I'm custodian over at the Beck Apartments, but, but you know that, don't you. You know that. I guess nobody here can see me or hear me except you. I didn't bring a gift, I, but I, I guess that's not important. Thank you for everything you've done for me. As long as I can remember you've been right by my side. I'll never forget when you walked with me right in those first few hours after I lost Martha. I-I've always been able to count on you, when I felt dark inside and when I... You were right there, right, every time, right there. Even when I didn't feel good about myself, I knew that you cared for me enough, and that, that made me feel better. Like that time I got mad with Mabel Huntington because she broke her pipes on purpose just so she could have somebody to see while I came up and fixed them for her. Boy, I hollered at her, boy I hollered real loud. But then, then I got to thinking - you loved Mabel just as much as you loved me and I should treat her the way you want me to. I believe I talked to you about that at the time. Well, I started visiting her and we became friends. I saw her almost every day until the day she died. I love you. You're my closest, my finest friend. And that means that I can hold my head high, wherever I go. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you."
42 points are possible this week. What'd you get?
