Happy Festivus!
Pasted from Jacob Hildebrandt flickr account.
And the party is already starting!
Don’t forget that today was Festivus! It’s for the rest of us.
Let me start with the airing of grievances…
Happy Thanksgiving!
Days late but thankful for another year of living
The Christmas Spread
Looking good and making me hungry.
May All Your Christmases Be …
There’s nothing better than to cozy up to a Yule log burning in the chimney and finding a dead Santa. Happy Season’s Greetings from you good blog buddy! Stay safe and have a great holiday.

As the holiday season winds down to its inevitable end, let's remember a more festive and giving season: Baseball Season! The Orioles were real generous this year. Here's to a good one in the next.

Christmas Shopping Done?!
I don’t think I am. How about you?
Link of the Day [8.09.12]
Toshiro Mifune day on Turner Classic Movies (TCM). Wake up. Watch samurai. Go to work. Watch samurai. Come home. Watch samurai. You can’t miss out on this.
Samurai! Mifune!
Also, that website is crazy. Built for touch.
Twelve Drummers Drumming
I didn’t want to end it this way, but twelve posts in a row is plenty so I’m gonna end it with a whimper. Hopefully, tomorrow’s Epiphany will be better, but for today it’s The Simpsons (Marge Be Not Proud)
Bart was caught shoplifting which disappoints his mom. She treats him more grown up. He buys a picture to replace his photo mess up on their family Christmas portrait. It was a Christmas present. It all takes place at Christmas time.
Kid berates his mother for Bonestorm. Calls her stupid. Tells her to shut up. “Buy me Bonestorm or go to hell!” Lee Carvallo’s Putting Challenge seems like the better game.
The episode wasn’t one of the more overt Christmas episodes for The Simpsons. In fact, it doesn’t play as a very special Christmas episode. And this post doesn’t play like one of my other ones as well. I guess the Christmas theme is that it can last too long. We can’t wait for Christmas to get here, and it is trying once the season starts. Then it seems to go on, and on, and on, but now it’s over. I just wish I ended this series better. I can’t wait for next Christmas.
Eleven Pipers Piping
If you weren’t scared by the Ghosts of Christmas, perhaps Gremlins can give you a scare.
Crap. I have nothing to say about this one. It’s a better fright story than A Christmas Carol. Watch it.
Christmas theme? Mayhem! You know that feeling when you play Santa handing out the presents. It’s just like a host of gremlins running through town. It’s madness.
Christmas mayhem! Onward to madness! Like gremlins.
That’s all I’ve got…
Ten Lords A-leaping
The guy in the Santa suit ho-ho-ho-ing and ringing his bell could be dangerous. If you don’t believe me just ask Bill McNeal. The Santa harassed him making him wary of the harm that could be done to him. Except it turned out to be a stunt to get Bill McNeal to listen to the Santa’s audition tape. It turns out the Santa was looking for advice on getting a job in radio. Or was it?
Mr. James gets a Yankees autographed jersey, and he gets the staff baseball caps. Except the staff isn’t thrilled. To make up for it, Mr. James buys them all cars except Matthew who gets an old-timey radio comedy show. Is that enough for them?
Christmas theme is bad presents. Not getting what you had wished for. Admittedly, this ain’t a theme, but something that occurs always during Christmas. If you wanted it so bad, you should’ve bought it yourself. On the flip side, cash is always good; don’t buy lame presents.
The chance for something lame greatly increases with the amount of presents you get. I got very few presents this year. Thanks, Santa!
