Touch That Dial!


Only 8 minutes left 'til showtime! Get thee to a TV, kiddies! It's almost time for Year Without a Santa Claus, and you know what that means ... Heat Miser and Snow Miser. Hell yeah.

You gotta love a holiday special with quotes like,

Riding a Vixen the wrong way on a one way street!

Open to interpretation, of course.

Missed it. Had it all set up and fell asleep. It's now 10:03 pm. I am ever so sad...

Dang! I missed it too. But I did manage to catch A Charlie Brown Christmas with Linus' famous soliloquy. Still great after all these years.

It was somehow pinker than I remembered. Everything and everybody was pink with purple backgrounds. I don't remember all that pinkosity, but maybe I'm just getting old.

Damn never seen that one - loved the clip. I finally got my hands on PeeWee's Christmas Special. Now that's a hoot - it only played two years and then peewee got caught playing with his peewee and.....

Its a brutal satire on all those Christmas specials - Grace Jones in full battle dress singing The Little Drummer Boy, celebrities popping in for no reason, Christmas cake jokes, butch workmen and the gayest looking Marine Choir in the Corps. Plus PeeWee - now that's Christmas.

You know those writers for the show were sitting around pounding down jaegermeister, saying "now, that's some serious funny". Vixen down a one way street. Ha!

I didn't see it; I was out doing good works in the community. No, really!

The good news is, I'll be home for The Bionic Woman and Project Runway tomorrow night.

Santa's Hat: [sniff] I'm sure they'll play it again -- you know they like to run things into the ground around this time of year! Jingle jingle!

Speck: Love the Charlie Brown Christmas. I'll have to watch for the pinkification...

Sling: Huh? [scratches head ... shrugs, reaches for wine]

Willym: Oh, PeeWee has all kinds of holiday festivity going on! Especially in his pants.

KA: Ha ha! Can you imagine what really went on with those puppets behind the scenes? The practical joke potential is limitless.

Red: [Retch] I will be home for Cane tonight -- he had the hottest shower scene last week. I mean ... whew!

I missed it too but it's set to record on the 8th. Same bat channel.

Now that my knitting finger is in bondage I'll have plenty of time to watch the tube...if only I can stay awake. That percocet is strong!
