<< Who Needs College? Someone Is Actually Reading It >>
Ho Ho Ho... Wrong Number

I know that showing anything with Michael Richards is considered bad form these days, given his recent stupid rant... but when I read this rather heart warming story...

GOLETA, Calif. This Santa didn't volunteer -- he was drafted. But he's accepting his lot with good cheer.

John Dickinson is getting up to 100 calls every day from kids who think they're calling Santa Claus.

It's a wrong number, but Dickinson says he doesn't mind. He just plays along.
...
Apparently, a lot of kids have been misdialing one digit -- getting Santa Barbara instead of Santa Claus.

I couldn't help but to be reminded of this scene from Seinfeld:

And for that added bit of a connection, I was actually born and raised in Goleta.  And his name is Dickinson?  With a name like that, if he didn't play along, everyone would call him Scrooge for sure.
