You probably know this already, but I’m going to let you in on a little secret. Even if you’re certain you’ve heard the stupidest thing you’re ever going to hear, there’s always going to be a stupider one waiting for you just around some corner somewhere. Today’s example comes to us by way of the …

I heard this depressing Christmas song the other day, not the one I referenced in the title though, and I wasn’t going to post it, but it won’t leave me. lyrics are here. So…Christmas is nearly here. How did that happen. I feel like it snuck up on me. Whenever I ask anyone else, they …
