Just a little friendly advice to help you get through the holidays
While everyone goes on about the PS5, you’re all missing out on this amazing console.
I love hearing about everyone’s different traditions! Extra points for being extra weird, imo.
Btw, in case you’re looking for a new movie to watch tonight without having to leave the house, you’ve got this stunningly gorgeous option.
In local news, this isn’t some exciting cuddly creature, but I’ll take it anyway.
We were listening to some festive music earlier this week, and my husband so innocently said he had never heard this one. So we listened to it right that second.
And that’s all you get! Hope you all are feeling merry and bright <3
You didn’t play this for your husband?
“Wham” is the sound of the bathroom stall door closing at Will Rodgers park.
For you, Ted’S:

(merry christmas!)
I think I posted this one last year.
We saw teases on the KFC Gaming Twitter account of a KFC-branded game console for months, and we assumed it was all a joke. Well, it wasn’t. The KFConsole is real, and it keeps your chicken warm.
WTF?

I like this Bob and Doug song.
It’s not Christmas until one or more of us hosers say “Take off, eh!”
So “Take off, eh!”
“Oh, you’re from L.A.? Well lets go get some donuts, then!”
Around these here parts, that means “Leduc, Alberta.”
Happened to me both in Calgary and in Windsor, prolly a dozen times.
Had this conversation with Mrs Prole while watching the TV series 12 Monkeys:
Me (pointing at one of the villains, Leland Frost): “That character actor has been in a ton of stuff. Doesn’t he always play a villain?”
Mrs P, thinks it over: “Usually. Sometimes he plays a bureaucrat.”
Me: Yeah, but can you give an example of him NOT playing a villain?”
*high fives prolefeed *
Comments seem wonky.
What? Saturnalia gets no check box?
yup
ROMANES EUNT DOMUS!
I remember having Latin class.
More heartwarming defiance
For one Bethlehem, Pa., restaurant owner, the coronavirus restrictions are hitting especially hard because they didn’t quality for PPP loans or other aid amid the pandemic.
Seven Sirens Brewing Co., which opened less than a month before COVID-19 came to the U.S., remains open, defying Gov. Tom Wolf’s ban on indoor dining to slow the spread of the coronavirus in the state.
“It’s just been an absolute crazy year for us,” Jordan Serulneck, head of operations at the brewery, told “America’s Newsroom.”
‘It took us three years to open and 28 days to close down,” he said. “A lot of our employees haven’t received their unemployment benefits and all those things and we’ve been reaching out to our bank, the SBA, to anyone that would possibly have any relief for us. It just doesn’t exist.”
Santa Clause UNH!!!
State mandated lonesome Christmas
Reviews for the new Wonder Woman flick are looking very bad at this point.
All of the reviews have been unfavorable towards it, even from the geek/comic friendly sites.
70% positive on Rotten Tomatoes. Not amazing but I’ve seen worse for sure.
Kyle Smith at NRO liked the first one and he just savaged this one. Doesn’t even make any Trump/villain connection reference- just that the whole thing is ridiculously weak.
It’s Friday, so I’ll be kicking off the Christmas day Zoom/Happy Hour/discussion at 20:00 Eastern. I hope you all have family to be with instead, otherwise, This is my Family.
I might not drop in.
I thought about going out to an Irish pub tonight, but with the rain picking up and having to be up early tomorrow, I decided to stay in.
Thanks Tulip for running the last two, and thanks Neph for keeping the Friday/Saturday ones going.
I will try to drop in for an hour before my night gig.
Thank you Neph. And a thank you very much to Tulip as well.
I aint gonna be there, but Id like the record to reflect that I DID make an appearance around 02.30h EST to mop of the mess ya’all made of last night’s call. I’m going in to work.
However, we are family.
Thanks Neph & Tulip
Who doesn’t love a punk band with a horn section?
Those who hate ska-punk/third wave ska bands.
raises hand.
Although “hate” is a bit extreme, strong dislike is more where I am at.
I’ll try to drop by for a bit before lasagna is served.

12 Days of Rehab
That’s some x-mas tunes, right there!
I listened to his bits when he was on WMMR in Philly.
Some of them haven’t aged well.
He had a slightly different version of that song back in those days. I like this version better.
Kid got three skateboards, a hoverboard, a bass guitar, a bunch of fingerboards with an ultra rare “Del Mar pool” and I microphone. Now, I gotta take him to the skatepark tomorrow. I sure hope I don’t break any bones…
Three? That kid made out like a bandit!
Seriously. I never had a haul anything like that.
Trump bucks! Nah, my brother shipped him a really nice Santa Cruz, I got him a Z-flex and a Dogtown. I got myself a nice pool board, as well. Next year, I’ll get him some modern brands, if I can figure out which are the good ones.
I was excited when somebody told me there were real hoverboards- there aren’t, those things have wheels. And I’d never heard of fingerboards- that’s just lame, kids should do rubik’s cubes like we did back in the day.
Seriously though, sounds like a lot of fun.

Merry Christmas!!!
BlackBotanists? I never knew white lilies were racist or black eyed susans were victims of domestic violence.
COVID Communicator? Probably right up there with Dr. Goebbels, and Baghdad Bob. (If Frau biden gets her doctorate mentioned then so should he.)
I can do without any of those people or their job titles.
SCIENCE DENIER!!
Unlike your average, racist doctor.
Honarable derp-mention to the “March for Science” people. I wonder if they will quietly disband after Jan. 20.
Need moar lampposts
The cognitive dissonance of the retards is truly amazing. Conspiracy theories just need Top.Men. to squeeze harder. Apparently this idiot has zero clue why such theories spread. And then the begging for state officials to “trust” ordinary citizens. Yeah, the last nine months has been all about “trust”. That’s not the way any of this works, dipshit.
My ice maker broke years ago, and I really can’t get the whole logistics of making ice in trays right. I either run out quickly, or have trays sitting there for weeks taking up space in the freezer. I use the ice bucket from the erstwhile ice maker for my pre-portioned ground beast.
So my neighbor gave me a countertop ice maker….now I need to clear off space!
The ice is bullet-shaped, y’all
Get a double rifle, shoot your enemies in the neck, that after the bullets melt the cops will think it was vampires.
Your neighbor is Ian for Forgotten Weapons?

Pics?
Our fluffy, overweight tuxedo cat was the most active he’s been in years the past couple of days, as he could smell a catnip toy on the top shelf of the pantry, six feet off the ground, even though it was in a zip lock bag. He kept opening the pantry door and trying to climb up, and when we secured the door, he’d stay and stare at it for hours. He got the toy this morning, and manipulated it, chewed it and rubbed it against his cheeks and fur till it got him so hammered that he actually pissed himself, which he’s never done before. But he was one euphoric kitty.
And all I could think was, why wasn’t there some equivalent scent to do that with women? It would have been useful in college.
I read this to Mr. Mojeaux and we laughed.
‘He got the toy this morning, and manipulated it, chewed it and rubbed it against his cheeks and fur till it got him so hammered that he actually pissed himself, which he’s never done before. But he was one euphoric kitty.’
You basically have a furry little raver rolling on Molly on your floor for awhile.
Hmm…. I’d rather have the cat.
Our maincoon got a touch activated trout that flops around and is full of catnip. I think he will still be sleeping on New Year’s.
I see the commercial for that a lot. Looks like a blast.
We once had a cat that had seizures. Whenever she had one she’d lose bladder control and piss herself. 🙁
Quaaludes.
We wish you a Merry Titsmas and an Assy New Year!

I feel like I need to turn in my “porn aficionado” card for not earlier recognizing the pictures of the woman in the cat/woman picture pairs you posted a few days ago.
The Chive gallery is good.

I am indifferent on mushy peas. Don’t hate don’t crave.
I’ve never had them. Are they just what I imagine – mashed up green peas?
Butter, cream and seasoning added, but yes
Then that would elicit a polite “no thank you” from me. I’ve never been a fan of the green pea or the lima bean.
I’m with westernsloper. If it’s served, I’ll eat it to be polite, but I’m not seeking them out. Spring peas, fresh from the garden -yes please.
I have a recipe around here somewhere for these little ground turkey chipotle dumpling things in a sweet pea broth and drizzled with chili oil. That is a great way to eat peas.
I love a thick split-pea soup so this sounds yummy to me.
w/ HiHo crackers and butter on ’em
Merry Christmas!
Mine wasn’t all that exciting. Just me and mom this year.
Mine wasn’t either. Lunch at the folks.
Today was quiet at the Fourscores but I did clean my driveway/yard from the snow this afternoon, after it warmed up a bit.
We violated the governor’s orders and got together with 4 different households. Turkey for Christmas Eve, Ham and Prime rib for Christmas Day.
I taught my son some new cuss words as we drove south on the post-blizzard icy roads. Twin Cities drivers are the worst!

Looks pretty healthy for a tweaker.
Sushi and cinnamon rolls sounds more like cannabis. If she was tweaking, she wouldn’t have eaten anything and she’d have taken apart the motorized cart and just left it that way.
Dinner at inlaws….they made way too much food but that isnt a bad thing. I forgot the wassail oops
Dad and I had a steak, since he didn’t want to make so much turkey for just the two of us. A 10-oz. steak was more than enough for the two of us,
I had steak with a pan sauce and green beans.
heating up the grill for fillets; NewWife has the scalloped oysters ready for the oven; cab has been in the decanter for an hour, and I’m snifting my way through a couple of fingers of Oban in the meanwhile
breakfast was sausage casserole and blueberry coffee cake, so it’s taken a good eight or nine hours to get remotely ready to be hungry again
Ham and funeral potatoes done and consumed. Nom nom nom. Watching FX’s take on A Christmas Carol. It’s a bit … dark.
“Scrooged” ruined me for any other versions of A Christmas Carol, except for the 1960’s cartoon version I saw on TV. I still remember the helmsman in a storm at night singing “God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen” as part of the Xmas present vision.
I want to see the mice with the antlers stapled to their heads even more than a shark with a frickin laser beam.
Oh god no, not the Mr. Magoo one??
Can you be stripped of rank after retirement?
NO, not the Mr. Magoo one. I didn’t know that was even a thing. This one was very traditional. I haven’t seen it since I was in grade school.
I’m hooked on the Muppet’s version. Statler and Waldorf as Jacob and Robert Marley.
Ooh, I forgot about that one, I’ll put it on for the kids later.
I haven’t thought of that version or “Scrooged” in years.
I was craving a snack after an afternoon of doing nothing so…………I warmed up another piece of smoked prime rib in some au jus.
Nice. I cubed up the remainder of mine, cooked down a pound of mushrooms and an onion, some cubed baby potatoes, deglazed with a splash of white wine, roux made from rendered prime rib fat, heavy cream & lots of black pepper. I’m full.
Wow, that sounds like a good use of prime rib leftovers, I’ll try that next time. Safeway had it on sale last week for 8.99 a lb and I picked one up and roasted it a few nights ago. Sandwiches the next day and then today it became a steak and veggie soup. Bones got made into some stock that’s still simmering. I love prime rib.
Probably will watch. I don’t really care about the story, but Gal Gadot is so hot, she could release a two-hour film of her sitting in a lounge chair in a bikini reading the Manhattan phone book and I’d pay extra to watch it on IMAX. She makes every man in the theater lose about 50 IQ points ever time she appears on stage, as the blood leaves our brains for points south.
I’ll sit next to you at the IMAX.
Thanksgiving dinner for Christmas in the oven, good glass of red, some prosciutto and crackers, and Jolly Ole Soul streaming on the stereo while the kids read and play with new LEGOs.

Negroni Sbagliato ? is nearly down the hatch. Too bad I’m out of ingredients to make more.
Never heard of that one, sounds pretty tasty. Merry Xmas Rhy.
Might I recommend some cycling to work off your dinner.
No, thank you though. I believe I’ll walk out to the garage. Slowly.
I thought I was daring to skateboard in pools, I ain’t doing none of that! No, no, no!
Awesome.
I wish I still healed quickly enough to do that.
Ozzy man reviews 2020 in his own style.

I missed most of these events and trends. I guess 2020 was not completely a feces rave.
Drinking some St. Bernardus Christmas Ale. Got some steaks in the sous vide, which will be followed by a pan sear because I discovered earlier today that my grill is non-functional. Found an apple pie of questionable age in the freezer and cooked it up, but we’ve got multiple tins of cookies as backup dessert if the pie is a fail.
Wife bought me my first 7-string guitar and a set of kettlebells. 10yo son got a LEGO moviemaking kit and several books on digital film production for kids and making stop-motion videos, so I’m guessing most of my free time in the near future will be spent helping him with that.
Anyways, everyone go don your gay apparel, which I’m assuming involves leather and spikes.
I mean, if you score 33 points in a football game, you should probably win.
Only if that’s more than the other team scored.
Sipping a Negroni after having brown sugar glazed ham (which sounds kinda dirty when you’re married to an AA woman), mashed potatoes with sour cream, cranberry and orange relish, and salad. Sweet potato pie (still a bit dirty) coming up.
Ham, decadent potatoes, green bean casserole, rolls, and cinnamon rolls. A very excellent wine (19 crimes, and I am not a wine connoisseur), 4 shots of Jack and 5 beers. I’m well-stuffed and quite drunk.
