Deipnophobia –

an irrational fear of dinner parties.

The holiday season is upon us once again; we are gearing up for the long haul. ACME is proud to once again sponsor the Dr. Caligari's Tenth Annual Holiday Video Festival.

As has been our want, we usually start our holiday festivities contemplating the holidays during wartime. As mentioned last year, I was highly suspicious of the follow statistic - the US has been involved in some form of 'armed military' conflicts 224 out of the 241 years of it's existence. But I've tracked it across a number of different sources, for example 1, 2 & 3, and a consensus seems to be that we are a very war-like nation. So it is very easy to see how the true reason for the holidays is lost in the fog of war -
