Merry Xmess

We interrupt the prior Tale of Caution for business.

Today, while driving around, I was listening to my iPod playing my Christmas music playlist. But when I looked at the title, it said Dave Edmunds was doing "Run Run Rudolph" but the song was "Bluegrass Christmas". Huh. My ipod had gone all sideways on me, and I hadn't started drinking yet. Didn't think too much about it though, because my Christmas playlist has that kind of diversity, and bluegrass christmas music fits right in between Mojo Nixon and Aimee Mann...

But when the song finished and an announcer started extolling the virtues of sausage, I figured out that I had accidentally hit the tuner to a local radio station. I didn't even notice the difference, other than three bluegrass christmas songs in a row.

whatev. Went better than this:

So merry Happy Christmas Holidays to those of you twisted souls who occasionally stop by this dank fetid blog. As Bilbo said; "I don't know half of you half as well as I should like, and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve." You have become friends, like it or not, and you're going to have to live with it.

I have met many of you in the last couple of turns around this stupid yellow star, and I would like to see all of you in meatspace in the next year; and whether you want to consider that a warning or a promise is up to you.

So for now, I leave you with the following.


It makes me feel like there may be hope for you breathers yet.

But then I remember that John Boehner is Speaker of The House.  Happy Hour starts now, and continues to January 4th.

  6. I figured out that I had accidentally hit the tuner to a local radio station.

    I have been in several situations in which bad things could have happened because I was listening to things in which sirens or train-crossing bells seemed to be a reasonable part of what I was listening to.

  9. This is a very sweet sentiment and I'm down with it. All I ask is that when you zombie bite me...and we all know that bite is coming...it is tender and affectionate. And no you cannot have my branes, no matter how friendly we are.
