Happy Hour and Hoolaganism . . . and Hoaxes

This afternoon, as I have done many afternoons at the behest of my stomach, I indulged in the time-honored tradition of Happy Hour.  I had some tea, and maybe a scone or two.  After that, I was watching a show where the existence of the Loch Ness Monster, which we all know is a bunch of ballyhoo and nonsense, not to mention tomfoolery, was being discussed.  As a skeptic tried to disprove the monster, his colleague rightly reminded him that it is more fun to imagine the existence of such a creature (ridiculous and ludicrous as it is), than to definitely disprove it.  I must agree.  It was a happy hour indeed.
