What will you do 26th of december?

[GeneralHankerchief]

You know what that means ...

I was thinking pever would be more like this.

[A Very Super Market]

I'll probably be packing for Vegas. I can't understand why you would go to the desert in winter,,,,,

[Cyclops]

See aunts* and cousins. I will cook a bird of some sort to take 100 miles and eat. My carbon footprint will be enlarged, as will my belly. Its a nice tradition, with my immediate family meeting Christmas Eve and Day.

Also I may take my nephew to see Alvin and the Chipmunks 2 the Squeakwul and I will not kill myself to avoid this. Payback, I took him to Where the Wild Things are and he was very polite about it, despite it being trash.

* All the men of that generation are gone: the uncles have died, deserted and divorced respectively, just like the witches of Eastwick. The similarities end there...maybe one aunt is almost as kooky as Cher.

But the soundtrack is by Karen O!! Karen O!! I'd watch it just for the soundtrack!

Actually the night times will be like this. (1 bad word)

While the day times will be like this.

[miotas]

I can actually relate to that, you got all the warmth of Christmas, followed by the excitement of the new year and then January is just...cold and bleak...and life goes on as usual but in contrast to the holiday excitement I can see how some people could get depressed, I find it rather chilling myself usually but not that bad.

The high number of suicides is because a lot of people don't have anyone to spend the holidays with and they, quite understandably, get depressed. The darker side of the festive season.

So I'm still the only person who thinks that January is bleak and cold in contrast to December?

January's when you start classes again and get to check out the chicks.

No i agree, perhaps if your birthday was in february it would help as its kind of like something slightly encouraging to carry on past january

[Strike For The South]

Same here.

Your club I'm in it

[pevergreen]

Not as much as you'd think.

But then again, Jan is nearly all holidays here, so...

If you're a student that is.

[a completely inoffensive name]

Left 4 Dead 2. It will hold me over until Mass Effect 2.

[TinCow]

Voted Other, because watching Zulu isn't on the list. It's not Christmas without Zulu.

What will I do on the 26th of December?

I'll probably don my mushroom cap, adorn myself in the usual pepperoni buttons, green pepper bracelets, chicken cufflinks, beef bell-bottoms, jalepeno jacket, sausage belt, and melted mozzarella makeup, and drive my Post-Christmas sleigh, a 1978 AMC Pacer Hatchback, all over the world, delivering hot yummy slices of pizza to all the good little boys and girls who made the "nice tip" list.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

With my sack filled with steaming boxes, and a light atop my sleigh,
the numbers of your local pizza parlor glowing bright for all to see, I'll give a hearty "Ho, ho ho" and say:





On Beefy, On Ham, On Bacon and Cheesy!
On Pork, On Sausage, On Tomato and Anchovy!
To the top of the porch! To the food court of the mall!
Now munch away, munch away, munch away all!

As the gas prices on the big board start to climb,
When I meet a pothole, or my tires start to slide,
I will not falter, to the house of the customers I'll go
With a sleigh full of yummies, and a Pepsi in tow
I'll park in the handicap space, and buzz myself in,
And up the stairs I will come, change coins jinglin'
I'll come with a twinkle, I'll come with a smile
No unrolled change please, counting takes quite a while.
I'll take your Mastercard, and I'll accept Visa
But Discover won't even get you one slice of Pizza
Please arrive at the door fully dressed, if you please
And if your cuddly dog bites, put her on a leash
Please remember to stay at home, that would be keen
If you order, then go shopping, that's really STUPID and mean.
No, I won't come inside, and I won't serve it on a plate
I've got 300 million other deliveries to do tonight, mate
And if you're three dollars short, NO, you don't get the food!
I won't "cover you this time" you ignorant fool,
I work for a living, you ungrateful wretch!
It's bad enough for no tip, your pizza I'll fetch.
And if the pizza is wrong, guess what, I don't make them!
All I do is drive, and to your house I do take them!
If the pizza is wrong, call them up, tell the boss
I don't have an oven in my car, it won't help to be cross
I can't make another pizza for you; it's no use to whine
If your Amazon purchase is wrong, you don't blame the UPS guy!
And I don't want to argue about the cost of the food
It's expensive to hire a taxi for your dinner... DUDE.
Another thing, I may be handsome, and I may look cuddly
But please, keep your hands off of me, I ain't your buddy
I'm a professional food courier, please don't treat me like dirt
And forgive me this, please, I really must be curt:
Strippers, you may look cute, but "flirting" don't pay the bills
Keep your stupid "lap dances", PAY ME, and go pop some more pills
And sir, if you would please, keep that thing in your drawers
I'm not gay, and I'm at work, I need to get back to the store
I'm on the clock, I don't have time to reject your advances
And if I may, being 60 years old hurts your chances.
I've learned o'er the years, and it makes me pissed
Cute single women who order pizza, simply do not exist.
I've seen a dude naked, I've been hit on by old men
I've dealt with my share of creeps, in all the places I've been
I've been robbed, I've been manhandled, I've been abused and cheated
I've been yelled and cursed at by hundreds of people I've greeted
And when my long, expensive trips are done, at the end of the day
I've got to scrub the store top to bottom, and put all the dishes away
I pay my own gas, I buy my own tires, insurance, and oil
There's no company car either, so my blood starts to boil
When people complain about the delivery charge or don't tip
If you don't like it, you cheapskate, then YOU make the trip.





MERRY CHRISTMAS, FROM PIZZA CLAUS!!!

Sorry, needed to get that off my chest. The above might be satire, but it is all 99% true as well. Merry Christmas, though, really.

Boxing day is cinema day...

Usually new films are aired on boxing day, but this year I am watching AVATAR with my brother in law who is in town visiting our common in-laws.
He is married to my wife's sister who just had a baby. The girls will sit and talk about baby-stuff and us boys will head in to town.

This particular fellar will be famous someday. He is a psychologist and are doing research in the field of OCD (obsessive compulsory disorder).
He did a documentary for one of the national TV channels here which was aired recently. Apparently it kicked up a storm.
(sorry for the horrible translated link - the original was in Norwegian. Words like svarte (answered) are translated as black (svart)).

[Hooahguy]

chinese food and movies!
oh, wait that was two nights ago.
repeat!

[Hosakawa Tito]

How I spent Boxing Day. Good thing I know how to fall. Oww, it hurts when I laugh.

Avatar in 3D or the normal version?

Was it any good?

[pevergreen]

I saw 3d today with a lovely lady friend.

Made my eyes and brain hurt. Didn't seem to add that much to the movie that I could see. I'd prefer to see normal, purely to avoid the brainhurt.

[Sigurd]

Avatar in 3D or the normal version?

I saw it in 3D of course.

Actually it was brilliant.
It gave me an emotional kick and I left the cinema with a feeling of wanting to protect the environment and treat indigenous peoples with respect and consideration.
So this is how it feels to be a treehugger...

The sensation quickly weaned away and I am back at work - getting those petro-dollars out of the ancient sea bed.

I need to get a reservation for it... it's been sold out solid for several days now...
