Y’know wats funny? I heard that SSB was gonna be released on the virtual console a WHILE ago, and I still dont think its been officially announced yet. Google it.
I’ve eaten BW3s two nights in a row now, is that bad?
Hell. No. When is there ever a bad time for BWW? I am pissed that the cheap wings have gone up 10 cents in price. I don’t know what traditional wings are, but Boneless is up to 60 cents! Maddening.
Also: I agree that it’s too early for Christmas. My CVS is bombarded with Christmas crap and none of us are ready for it yet!

Seems like the Charlie Brown DVD’s have come out again, with new stuff, remixed songs, a few new scenes, etc, and a digital download from I-tunes. I bought Great Pumpkin DVD a few weeks ago, and there is an I-Tunes digital download with that too. But I am leery of going near I-tunes. Right before I met my wife, she bought a computer from a friend, and he had I-tunes out the wazoo, and their software kept seizing up the computer. Not sure I am ready for the emotional commitment to I-tunes yet. (But this Great Pumpkin DVD has an excellent “making of” feature) I have the CB Christmas DVD’s, bought the Rudolph Box set last year , that came with Frosty, Santa Claus is Coming to Town, and Little Drummer Boy as well. And a separate Cricket on the Hearth. It’s too bad they don’t show Little Drummer Boy on TV. Too religious I guess. But so what, I just liked it. Big secret there, Christ connected to Christmas. Not that I’m a religious fanatic, but whatever. Read some blog somewhere last year saying CB Christmas Special was “too religious”. And it somehow “promotes something __________”. So what. If I watch it, I don’t have to explain my views; I just like it. Target already geared up with all the Christmas stuff. The grocery store Super G (Giant in some places) already with their Christmas set-up. Cool looking Rudolph and CB animatronic thingies at Giant for $20.00. Also, must confess, bought a box of Little Debbie Christmas trees to “share”with my daughter who was with me. She she is barely 2, she could only eat one cake. So, yes, yes, I confess, I had a rare “binge” moment. But, heck, I saved it for Little Debbie Christmas Trees!. And they also had the hexagonal non-descript Christmas Debbies too. (Help me out with that one, hexagonal as I recall?) Went to Macy’s to get the wifey an anniversary present. I was more excited to see the in-store poster promoting the annual parade. Is it the 150th anniversary or something? Sorry for the inaccuracies people. I’m now the dad of a 4 and 2 year old, and the brain cells burn out quickly…!

Aaron: FYE had a “Legends” three pack that had the Billy Graham, Dusty Rhodes, and the Rise and Fall of AWA DVD’s about 30 bucks. From the bookstore I got used copies of the Greatest Managers in Wrestling, Wrestling Families, the 4 Horsemen DVD, and a Ohio Valley Wrestling one that’s a “Before they were famous” type of thing with commentary from Jim Cornette and Dave Meltzer.
Anyway, in the Sunday paper today there was a Target Toy catalogue in there, and frankly I think it had slightly more interesting stuff in it than the Toys R Us one from last week.
I also saw in the Wal-Mart ad they are now selling Candy Cane Oreos.

ubik – Yeah – A MUPPET FAMILY CHRISTMAS, the greatest Xmas special of all time!
Chestnuts roasted by Muppet Baby @ 11/09/2008 11:23 AM
ubik, I would also add in at least a few more Rankin-Bass holiday specials. I’m thinking mainly of “Frosty’s Winter Wonderland” and “‘Twas the Night Before Christmas,” which are now available on the same DVD. You’ve also got “Year Without a Santa Claus.” I’d throw in “Rudolph and Frosty’s Christmas in July,” but at that point, IMO, R-B were running out of ideas and the specials got a lot longer and a little lamer.
Also need to mention a chestnut from my childhood that I bought on DVD last year: “Mickey’s Christmas Carol.” I found it on Disney’s “Classic Cartoon Favorites, Vol. 9,” which was a pretty inexpensive DVD. Highly recommended.
I have sort of melded Thanksgiving with the X-mas season. Although TG has its own distinct feel, and as I wrote a couple of threads ago is the best single-day holiday, I wrap it up under the whole holiday season umbrella. A number of years ago I would have forbade it, but recently my tree has gone up the day before Thanksgiving. I suppose your interpretations of holidays change as you get older.

I’m down with a Christmas special a day. It’d be cool if X-E had a schedule of ones we should watch on which day so we could watch the same one each day and then talk about them in the blog.
ubik, you’re missing about 80% of the Rankin/Bass specials. Best to just google R/B, ’cause there’s too many to list. And don’t forget Santa Claus Conquers the Martians!

Mooney said: “And don’t forget Santa Claus Conquers the Martians!” Ah yes, I saw 100 of those on sale for a dollar at Target. Got my copy 2 years ago. Pia Zadora’s debut role as the daughter of the Martian leader!
