Yah. Right. You are going to sound like Rudolf leading Santa's sleigh. Come to think of it, I have a short string that I ran through the woods just before dawn every Christmas Eve util my kids admitted to figuring out it was Dad, not Santa, Ho-Ho-Ho-ing.
I wonder ... that might be kinda cool on a bike, at 1 am, on the MUP. Ching-ching-ching...
