I think we've done this from here on down. Quickly now its Xmas - rush out and buy something.

I don't like it. The .gif makes me look fat, and as I dance around in a circle, I appear to break the Fourth Wall. There's enough self-conscious irony on this site already.

Santa follows the first law of life, but does he realize, everyone's watching him dance?

Santa runs a global philanthropic toy empire, manufacturing and distributing billions (or trillions, or milliards) of products annually. And yet in this year of grace, all anyone cares about is his dancing. "Look at that red suit, those twinkling eyes." For shame.

You know, if you rearrange the letters in Santa you get Satan! Clearly Matt is trying to slip in his Luciferian agenda under the guise of helpful moderation.

We're on to you Matt!

If I had a secret factory full of pint-sized slaves, I'd dance, too.

Is there now nowhere we can go without being assaulted by the all-pervasive scourge of Santaclausianisticivitiness?

If you rearrange the letter in Santa really enthusiastically, you get "ass tan".

I don't think the Dancing Santa belongs in AskMe. Um, maybe you should put him on Metachat?

He is most definitely not dancing, he is skipping around in a circle.

Dammit! I thought the img tag was up again! You're toying with us, user1

Is there really no way to have Santa flash a goatse while his back is turned? Or no way to add a word balloon that says "I'M IN UR CHIMNY GIVIN' U PREZZIES"? Or at the very least, to add a pancake to his head?

So this Santa...it's something you'd have to not have posted a question this week to know about?

Santa for the question askers like juv3nal minus the precious unique snowflakes.

I need to buy a present for a dancing santa .gif!!! Please hope me!!!

He's dancing because he just got back from doing a lot more than kissing Santa Claus.

I meant to post that here but I accidently posted in in this thread. It seemed to go over well though.
posted by champthom at 4:26 PM on November 25, 2006

Err, I meant KISSING MOMMY.

I apologize to dancing Santa for not using preview.

I changed the setting on my preferences page, and now it's Frank Costanza skipping in a circle, yelling.

MATT GETS TO PUT ANIMATED GIFS ON THE SITE BUT NOBODY ELSE CAN?

TIME FOR THE REVOLUTION TO BEGIN.

What? The MetaFilter users have been revolting for years?

Someone needs to post that hi-lay-ree-ous list of how Santa is impossible (having to deliver 9,000 presents per second, at near lightspeed, etc.) that does the corporate email inbox round every year
