12/05/2008: Holiduh.

Woof. Long day. Just got home. Working on the Advent now, but it may be an hour or two late. Shit happens, even during Christmastime.

Let’s just call this a random thread for now. I’ll update this post when the Advent is up to date.

EDIT: AC’s been updated for December 5th. Technically, I wasn’t late!

Fair ’nuff Neg… but there is a strong correlation between being emo and being emo on myspace.

Cat, where in RI are you? I’m in Burrillville. It’s basically another climate and time zone from the rest of the state. We always get more snow.

I’m watching Home Alone right now, nice and scratchy on VHS with all the old early 90’s Sears commercials. I love how Uncle Frank is such a douchebag.

North Smithfield here. We’re neighbors!

Uncle Frank is a douche. Cheap douche.

For all my posturing against MySpace over the years, it’s actually really starting to bug me that I can’t get into my stupid account. I wanted to wish Knacks a happy Slimermas and I totally couldn’t

Somebody will tell me if the clock gets unmessed up before Spring Ahead, yeah?

I need a copy of Home Alone, but then I’d rather catch it on TV.

Entry’s up!

Did you know that tonite your supposed to hang a sock for St. Nick to fill?

Ghosted by EtHM @ 12/06/2008 12:55 AM EST

That was awesome. Loving Lipton more and more each day. And I don’t care if that “remarkablous” was just fanservice, I appreciated it.

I actually laughed at Mista Snowman, how ’bout you guys?

YES! New Advent entry! =D The first Remarkablous of the 2008 Christmas season! =D

REMARKABLOUS!!!

I would totally pay 10 bucks to see Mista Snowman do standup in my living room.

Well, actually, I have the heat on, so he probably wouldn’t last too long…

All I want for Christmas is ABC to buy the exclusive rights to Mista Snowman and make him a recurring character on Seasons 5/6 of LOST.

Same here.
I’m hoping Kuse gets out of his funk soon, though.

Ghosted by Evalana @ 12/06/2008 1:26 AM EST

How do you guys say remarkabulous in your head?

I say “re-mar-KAB-u-lous”

but I can see people might say “re-mark-ablous.”

Put up my little Decepticon purple Christmas tree yesterday, complete with cute little rubber Transformers hanging all over it!

Hmmm…I seem to remember Cartman’s anal probe slightly resembling James’ new hat.

Tonight we threw a birthday party for my brother, and while he wasn’t looking ,I put a cigarette in his shot of bourbon whiskey. He drank it! Gross! =)

Great fun as always, ULTRAMAN. Sonic vs. Kirby: feud of the century. Oh, Dio, your code works now! We can Brawl, and I assume the Wii number also works

ULTRAMAN, we do! Sonic vs. Kirby vs. Pikachu (from what I’ve heard). Feud of the millenium!

Best twist ever.

Jack is running through the forest when he is ambushed by a large, cold, white bally thing.

Mista Snowman: CHRISTMAS MAGIC!!!
Jack: ….YOU!!!!

*whoooooooooossssssshhhhhhhhhh*

Flashback: Jack is in his doctor attire at the hospital, about to check on a patient.

Patient: CHRISTMAS MAGIC!!!

The patient’s information chart appears onscreen for a brief second before Jack moves his hand to look at it. The name is listed as DHARMA SNOWMAN WIDMORE VII.

I had the biggest smile on my face when I saw Lipton’s new hat.

A friend of mine just got a Wii. Other then Wiifit what are other exercise games you guys might suggest? Has anyone gotten Raving Rabbids 2 yet? That game looks like fun to me but it might be good marketing.

Palmerholic Dude. I watched that movie in September for the first time in years and it’s so good. One of the best things ever. I still haven’t watched Bad Santa for this year. It’s like a tradition of mine now.

Rev. I think you are turning out to be like me. A bitter young woman. Because every story you tell about the people around you is everybody around you are evil nasty idiotic people. I can relate.

I got my present in the mail for my best friend Harry so that is good I don’t have to worry about it anymore. There was a snapfish promotion where you could buy a 20 page photo book for just the price of shipping which was 7 dollars. The full price was 30 dollars plus shipping. I think personalized presents are the best for sure. I want to get him some gourmet black licorice too and I think that would be enough. Unless I find something practical yet affordable that he would use all the time. He bought me an early present today. It’s a hand mixer he bought at big lots. I was first shocked because I thought I was only getting wii stuff and I need a pot that can go in the oven. He’s getting a year end bonus so he can afford to get me mario kart and wii fit and maybe another game.

And of course some stuff for himself. He is building a computer w/ a blueray player in it maybe that he will hook up to the tv and record things off of the tv like dvr’d shows we want to keep and maybe some video game footage and things. And play movies on the tv. We have a 63 inch hdtv.

Muppet Baby, Yeah, I’m here teaching english, only been here a couple weeks but loving it so far…still getting used to the food though. Forunitly they love donut shops here so i’ve been milking that for all it’s worth.

ALSO I went to the Science Museum today and saw a real life COCONUT CRAB. I hope it was as good for him as it was for me….

Ghosted by Gralf @ 12/06/2008 5:41 AM EST

Moony, I am jealous of your Decepticon christmas tree!!

I’m in Australia, so I’m also jealous of hearing about coldness and snow…

What suspense in the Advent Calendar!
Still cryin over the lion from a couple days ago
Gralf Freakin freezing in Seoul today. I’m just a little south of you and i couldn’t get up the nerve to leave the apartment.

Ghosted by toasterdevil @ 12/06/2008 8:11 AM EST

I hate to be like this, but I must point out that Mista Snowman was wrong. Oi to the world was originally done by the Vandals. No Doubt covered it a few years later……

Ghosted by Jess @ 12/06/2008 8:47 AM EST

The funny thing about No Doubt is that I used to not hate them,I mean I thought they were OK,but Gwen Stefani is so awful now that she retroactively made it so I can’t stand her earlier work either.

Drew-
Instead of spending time and probably too much money on forums,why not just buy some Star Wars Legos at a regular store?

Thats all I have to say today.

Jess: I’ve asked Mista Snowman to reconsider his words.

Ghosted by Matt @ 12/06/2008 9:55 AM EST

Well I will let it slide since Mista Snowman can do no wrong.

Ghosted by Jess @ 12/06/2008 10:17 AM EST

Nice Mars, but I was thinking more along the lines of:

Doc Artz: Listen, you’ve got to be extremely careful with dynamite of this age, even the sli–BOOM!!–

pan to Mista Santa with chunks of Artz on his Top Hat/Face: CHRISTMAS MAAAGIC!!!

Locke: This was supposed to work. IT WAS S’POSED TOOO DAMMIT!!, What am I supposed to do!?! (bangs on top of the Hatch). (Desmond flips on his light switch, Locke thinks he sees God or something)

(Pan to Mista Snowman) CHRISTMAS MAAGIC!!!!

Ghosted by Terrel @ 12/06/2008 11:22 AM EST

Instead of Cartman’s Anal Probe, Lipton’s new hat reminds me of the classic skit on Saturday Night Live during the Weekend Update segment where Dennis Miller is interviewing Al Franken and Franken is wearing a satellite dish for reception.

It’s FREEZING here in Iowa today.

Just talked to my parents and they got the gift of getting laid off this morning. Merry Fucking Christmas.

That trouble at work Matt alluded to last post? I just heard that Viacom started swinging the ax. Good thing Fearless Leader is freelance. With the local rise in the Minimum Wage vs the drop in tourist retail, the hours here at the Gallery have been cut. We have Mondays off now. I don’t know what to do with the extra day, it bugs me.

Ghosted by kingklash @ 12/06/2008 1:44 PM EST

Well, I went outside today and there was 21 feet of snow on the ground. All of the houses were completely buried and everyone was dead.

I guess my face is red!

Ghosted by Rev. Back It On Up 13 @ 12/06/2008 2:02 PM EST

Holy shit Cameron, that’s fucking terrible! I’ll be praying for them. You’d think that these companies could stop panicking for one month and wait until AFTER the holidays to start slashing jobs. >:[

Honestly, I think the media is making this “recession” worse by constantly yapping about it and making people freak out.

Anyway. Um. Christmasy Christmas lights and trees and stuff like that. Yeah.

Ghosted by Annette @ 12/06/2008 2:08 PM EST

Annette

Well, it’s more complicated than that. The company isn’t really panicking, they are most likely going to go under. It’s just a matter of when. My parents are actually pretty relieved because they have been so unhappy. I just hope they both can find new jobs soon.

Ghosted by Cameron T. @ 12/06/2008 2:19 PM EST

Best of luck to them.

Ghosted by Hazard @ 12/06/2008 2:22 PM EST

Sorry to hear it, Cameron. Best wishes and thoughts going out to everybody involved.

I don’t know about blaming the media, really. There were 200,000 MORE jobs lost last month than the experts were expecting. That’s not hype, that’s real shit. Hope everybody is managing okay this holiday season

You LOST scenario creators are my new besties, and are totally invited over to play action figures when I put together my Playmobil/Kubricks collection.

Dare you ask what to do with an extra day? Here’s an idea- Spend every waking moment on X-E!!!!

Ghosted by PlantMonster @ 12/06/2008 3:55 PM EST

Back to Stay Tuned, who wouldn’t want Spike and Pierce’s remote summoning contraption? That was one of my favorite parts about that movie.

…I also find my morbid fascination with the character Mr. Spike to be very questionable.

Man it just snowed ULTRA hard. Play time and donut/coffee time! :D:D:D
