Just a fun idea I'm going to try. SR days of Christmas lyrics along with a small plot hook for each one. I'm posting the first with intention to add more. If you think of one please share.

On the first day of Christmas my Johnson gave to me...
a job in some Corporate intrigue.


A normal run. Break in, get the data(some advertising stuff), leave without anyone knowing you were there.
You don't care what the data is; you're not involved; its just biz.
Why are you still being followed? It was only some advertising jingle!

Don't you mean Saturnalia?

I always thought it was called Yule...

Only for Pagans, for Romans it was Saturnalia. Since Christianity comes from the Roman Empire, it was a name change of Saturnalia. Yule was the celebration of Pagans to the north, the change from Yule to Christmas was a bit more than a name change for them, something about war I hear. Also, I hear Yule is a one day affair. Saturnalia is much longer and closer to "the 12 days of christmas".

On the second day of Christmas my Johnson gave to me...
Two T-birds and,
and a job in some Corporate Intrigue...

On the third day of Christmas, my Johnson gave to me:
Three big trolls,
Two T-birds,
And a job in some corporate intrigue.

I'm sad to say, these don't hold up in the jingle. "A partridge in a pear tree" is only 7 syllables. "A job in some Corporate Intrigue" is either 8 or 9 depending on your pronunciation of "corporate."

Again "turtle doves" is three and "T-birds" is only two.

Well it's a work in progress.

How about:
"A milk run for some easy money."?

That's True... Though the date of Christmas was move to coincide with Yule to help convert the Pagans of the time. Christianity subverted a LOT of such celebration dates. smile.gif

How about: "A job doing Corporate Intrigue"...
Still 8 Syllables, but it flows better in my opinion...

And if you sing the song, Partridge gets 3 syllables, as it gets dragged out a bit.
