Again, I know that it’s January and that this post is therefore either very late or very early depending on how you look at things. But we’re about to get another snowstorm plus I just found out that Norah Jones covered the Chipmunks, so Christmas content it is. Of course there’s no replacing the original. …

This Means War…Or Something
Yes, Christmas is over. but I just saw…whatever the fuck this is and I just had to share it. At the lighting of the new Christmas tree, Fox News contributor Rev. Jacques DeGraff declares: "I’m here because these colors do not run. 80 years ago this week, they tried to extinguish the darkness in a …
Train Of Thought
Back around Christmas, Steve and I went home to see my family. We took Via Rail, and I wanted to make a couple of observations about the experience. First, to the people who think unmanned Via stations are acceptable: they suck if anyone needs a little bit of extra guidance or assistance. Yes, you can …

It Sounds Like A Miserable Holiday
For years, around Christmas, I would hear this song, but I’d always catch it way too late. I would hear it say something about throwing stones, and then I would hear creepy drums marching off into the distance and it would seem sinister and evil. I would always wonder what the heck it was called …
Carol Of The…Hell!
Aww. What a beautiful song. Aaaaa! That changes everything! *shiver*
Christmas Is Saved!
I have needed to sing the praises of Mastermind toys for a long time now. Let me be clear. I need to sing the praises of the people who run the stores and the people who manage the website and run the chat on it. The rest of the site design, despite the fact that …
