I want a recording of the Village People YMCA Christmas carol I heard this morning. Fucking greedy Scrooge music industry threatening to sue innocent people over a simple Christmas download...where the hell's the holiday spirit in that?

"You can hang out with all the e-eee-elves..." Priceless.

For all the random people on my life I can't decide what to buy, I go to Harry and Davids and send them several months of fruit. You could also go to Calyx and Carolla or 1800flowers and send several months of flowers or several months of plants.

It's easy. It's pleasant. I'd like it if someone gave it to me.

That said...both my birthday and Hanukah (or Channukah or whatever) are impending. My mother, sister in law, and husband all keep asking me what I want. I cannot for the life of me think of a single fucking thing (this is very sad).

So....what does everyone want from Santa? Maybe I'll get some ideas...

Also, every year H&D will send you a print out of what you ordered the year before in case you just want to reorder. Very convenient for fruit of the month gifts (my grandma gets the mini size fruit if the month from me because she has no need or want for more stuff).

Catch them live if you get a chance.

They were here about a month ago at the HOB. I can't believe I missed it. Weddings are always fucking up my schedule.

So...when your boss calls you into his office to get your advice on presents for his daughter, does that suggest it is ok for you too to engage in some online shopping during the work day?

Just wondering.

I actually saw The Samples play SOBER in '94, and they still sucked.

I hear that when you put it on something happens to you.

Given her last post, though, you might not want to schedule that month during December.

I'm confused. I've always thought that AT-ATs were the two-legged machines that Chewy hijacked on Endor. Someone was trying to tell me that AT-ATs are the four-legged machines on Hoth that Luke trips with the cable. I thought the latter were Imperial Walkers?

I believe MR has already laid claim to the phrase. Either him or BRC.

I, however, still hold the rights to "Monsieur Assclam."

Monsieur Assclam.

Chanukah Chicken? What happened to Hanukkah Harry?

The first episode was ok. It was sort of uncomfortable to watch how uncomfortable everybody was around each other. There's no way the family should have given the girls chicken to eat after they threw the hissy fit about "dressing" the chickens. If they were going to play some vegetarian card, that would have been one thing, but not doing it because of some problem with dead animals means no dead animals for you.

I found both of them to be unbelievably rude. When the grandmother asked them to help her pluck those chickens, they completely ignored her and went inside, sat on the couch and left her outside. She had to walk all the way in there to ask them again. Bitch, get up and at least bring your ass out there and watch her do it.

Coming attractions: Little Ritchie sticks her arm up a cow's ass. They both scoop up some road kill. Now, why wouldn't they pluck some chickens? Are they really going to change that much over 30 days?

No. I think most of it is bullshit. Both Hilton and Ritchie know what the producers want and they're giving it to them. "What's Walmart? Is that where you buy Wall stuff?" Bullshit. I'm sure she knows one of the Walmarts personally. They're playing it up.

And the helicopter entrance at their going away party? The show set it up and tried to make it look like it's a typical Paris entrance. The shopping spree? I'm sure it was picked up by the show or staged. The dad reading a written list of rules? Please. Everyone in that house knows the house rules by heart. The show handed him that. Those were the show's rules.

Yesterday's show sucked for that reason. Ellis/Bunim usually does a better job of picking people, but this family isn't interesting enough and there's no conflict.

You (or bilmore) may ask, "What did you expect?" And that's a fair question. I guess I didn't expect much. But it better get better than this because if it doesn't, the audience is going to drop 50% after the third week.

Why are you posting the contents of your closet? Isn't that sort of a self-outing offense?

I suppose next we're all going to be treated to a selection of banana sacks from your underwear drawer. Or bustiers from that "secret" box on the shelf in the back of the closet .
