No, that’s not what I meant!!! Get your head in the game!!!
But I also can’t fault ya on that one. One must play to their strengths.
Obligatory:
–
Well, it’s Christmas again
Almost, anyway.
And as I’ve often told people, in spite of the fact that I’m a godless heathen; and in spite of all of the annoying things which must be dealt with pertaining to Christmas…I actually really do like it.
Well, some parts of it.
What I like is that once you get past the increased stress of it, everyone seems a little nicer. A little more charitable. A little more…human.
That being said however, whenever I open a gift, I never get what I really want…
Last year was your last chance, Santa. My last year of tolerance. This year, I’ll be gunning for you.
You gon’ pay what you owe Santa!!!!!

Christmas Trees
Christmas trees are pretty and all, granted. But they’re a pain in the ass if I’m being honest. From the getting/buying them, to setting them up, to cleaning up all the needles every damned day, etc.
And how can it be smrt to bring a dead and very flammable plant into your house, stick it in water, and then put electrical appliances on it? Seems we’re missing the common sense here.
But as I said already, they are pretty. I’ll admit that.
Plus, my kitty likes ’em…
But still, they have to be decorated before they’re pretty, and that’s a pain in the ass too. It takes forever. I absolutely loathe doing it.
Hmmmmmm…..
Ooooookay, I like how you’re thinking. Maybe this year it really will be different. Hold that thought Dear, and let me finish this post.
Then I’m all yours.

Sports Wrap Up
Get it? Wrap up? Wrapping paper? Oh screw you guys, that was funny.
NFL
No more TNF to report on. And now that it’s gone, we all regret talking badly about it. Well, “regret” might be a strong word I suppose. It’s like that girlfriend who you knew was wrong for you, but still kinda sorta liked having her around for the once a week bad sex. Just because it was easier. You know you’re better off without her, but…
SNF? Also gone. Christmas Eve this week, week 17 next week. There are two Saturday games again this weekend, however. And you also do get two on Christmas Day (Monday) to make up for it.
So after you’ve locked your family in the closet because you’re tired of the noise, you’ll have plenty to watch.
Saturday/Sunday/Monday Schedule
NHL
I’d just like to point out once again that Vegas is still doing pretty damned well for any team, let alone an expansion franchise. So of course some folks can’t help but try to figure out why.
No national games tonight so check your locals.

Santa’s Naughty List
Self-explanatory this week, which means you don’t have to hear me yak yak yak incessantly explaining this one.
That’s one of my Christmas gifts to you. Your real gifts should arrive soon. If they don’t, then obviously it was the post office’s fault. Honest.
Enjoy….
Yes, fine Dear. You’ve got my attention. I know I promised. Christmas lights, yada yada yada.
I’ll finish decorating the tree now. Jeebus.
But just remember what you promised to do when I’m finished.
OK, that is not what I meant. Next year I’ll need to be more specific I guess.
(As an aside, I really think she seems fun. Special shout out to Unsurprised for linking that one a few days ago…we likey.)

Mrs Claus Needs Love Too
Why not both?
Hehehehehe….get it?
Sorry ladies. I couldn’t resist.

Time To Go Relax And Wait For Santa I guess
Hey, you relax your way, I’ll relax mine.
But I do hope you’ve all enjoyed this year’s Christmas edition.
Inorite? Thank goodness someone finally noticed.
Maybe Santa will be extra good to me this year?
Hmmmmm….well that’s not encouraging, is it?
Oh well.
But in all sincerity…
I really do hope everyone’s holidays are the best. All of you folks really mean a lot to me.
Love ya’s.

holy mother of God
I think it’s Pam on cocaine cosplay judging from that tatoo
GOOD NEWS!
1a) I finally finished editing that cocksucker (no ofence) of an 80-page Lease and e-mailed it out. 10:57pm the Friday before Xmas, and I’m just hoping not to get a salary cut. But hey, at least it won’t haunt my sleep.
1b) Was watching the muted teevee box 10 minutes before kickoff as Josh Allen warmed up, raced upstairs and put a buck twenty-five on WYO (Hippo’s Nu Afrika, raise yo fist) and they ran train.
Now, let’s get some shitty JV exhibitions and Saturday NFL started WOO!!!
Hawt Taek: Bass players these days are so LAZY!
Good bass players: Kyle Kyle, Sean Yseult.
Painted bass players: Gene Simmons, Bobby Dahl.
Old bass players: Paul McCartney, Bill Wyman.
This list is incomplete.
Paul McCartney can eat shit.
That’s a different list.
I ain’t some fancy boy who knows names I just know some fast fingers when they are a-fingering.

I’m glad you’re here.
You’re part of this story whether you remember or not.
I KNOW; with what is happening in the world now! He is one of the worst!
*whose, goddammit Internet.
I am allowed to spread my petty hatreds around. My well of hate is endless.
and I am allowed to make fun of them.
John Entwhistle
Stop that. IWDB is getting ideas.
Who?
OK, reason why tWBS is going to Hell #147. Part I.
When I was in my late 20s, I began dating a woman who was just a few years my senior. She had been a client of mine which is how we met. We dated for a coupla years or so, and more or less co-habitated for a while. It wasn’t a terrible relationship, and in many ways it was very fulfilling, let’s say.
She had a teenaged daughter. But don’t go thinking what you’re thinking.
I actually felt very fatherly toward this young lady, and even guided her to the best of my abilities when it seemed she might be headed down a bad path in her early teens. So much so that she once told me….
“I hate you…you’re not my real father”
Which interestingly enough sparked her mother to accuse me of having urges towards her. Which I didn’t.
But just that was enough for me to end the relationship. Even in my late 20s, I already knew enough to get out of that before it became something which I didnt want to deal with.
Soon after, I ended up leaving the area.
(though for totally unrelated reasons….just a simple relocation due to other things)
Next….Part II.
You mean, Part II: The Reunion?
You’ll find out when I get another drink in me.
I can’t believe I’m telling this story.
It all started with a picture.
!! Part II is always the best part!
The good news about being this wasted is that it’s easier to come to terms with the fact that I’m not getting a monkey butler for Christmas for the 25th consecutive year. Life is all about disappointments.
There was really only one bowl game today? What the fuck am I supposed to do now..
Drink and masturbate, like the rest of us.
Oh sorry….drink and “read” (yah rite RTD).
Yeah but, hypothetically, what if I’ve already done that?
Drink.
Sheeeesh…what am I? Your addiction tour guide FFS?
Well yeah already done that too. I NEED a third tier football game to supply ridiculous names to make fun of!
Ah yes, father in law finishes bottle of wine doesnt want to go downstairs to get more, puts me in charge. This is the fastest I have gained control ever! Oh we gon be fancy.
Evening folks. I’m wasted. Just figured you should know that today’s drinking was especially productive because it started from the mother of my final piano student of the day handing me a glass of sparkling wine while I was in the middle of my lesson with her daughter. God Bless the holidays.
Ooooh, mother/daughter tag team. Nice.
Daughter is nine. I’m not Roy Moore, you sick bastard.
How was I supposed to know?
One of these days I’ve got a story to tell tho.
But tonight’s the wrong night fo’ sho’.
How low did you go?!?
OK fine, I’ll tell the story tonight.
Why not?
I need another drink first tho.
More vodka is always a good idea
All I got from my students was a Starbucks card! And probably nothing tomorrow.
That buys like a half a coffee, right?
Garçon!!!! Moar vodka!!!!
I see Moose is intent on getting me to rub one out early.
Always did love the Kandi eps. Oooooof.

Between the tongue and the chains, there’s probably a good joke here. But fuck it….I’m not drunk enough yet.
Come back to me.
I need to find a clean clip without that awful CW bug.

Just finished driving 6 hours through the mountains, got to inlaws rolled myself a “medicinal” and walked upstairs to a glass of wine. All is good. Hope you are all well.
Not as good as you, but then again I didn’t drive six hours.
Let’s call it a draw.
Cheers.
Nice car. I”m going to go see Lady Bird. Adios, papas.
She’s lovely. Sincerely.
But those shoes look kinda huge. 12 extra wide…..Would still bang
I never noticed.
I’m sure it’s the aperture settings and the focal length.
But I can’t help but notice stupid shit like that. Sorry if I ruined it.
Yay Kandi.
Allan is such an idiot.
Someone somewhere is giving grandma an address.
Later, things will get interesting.
Nice eyebrows
Roller Girl gets spicy.
Stop reading ahead in HRTN!
If she shows up in Hell and doesn’t give ol’ Seamus some punishment, I will never forgive your ass.
Or the rest of you either.
I can think of some people who should be connected to that thing.
I’m going to keep drinking and go resume reading 2001. Drinking and reading and listening to music is pretty much my idea of heaven.
It ain’t the worst.
Enjoy, my friend.
Holy shit, you guys. Look at these pictures of the sky in SoCal!

Hello vodka, my old friend.
Santa might wanna skip Detroit next year.
People across California and Arizona are flipping shit because SpaceX just launched a couple rockets and few people knew it was going to happen.
Related: Elon Musk is a not a genius, he’s a product of marketing.
But he’s such a great role model for other African-Americans.
It was great to see him show his ass on Twitter after someone called out his bullshit on public transit. Super Rocket Boy Brain Genius kept going on about some people who think they’re smart actually aren’t.
Oh, and he making a pitch to build that boondoggle O’Hare Express train with this bullshit boring company.
God, someone needs to put him on one of his rockets.
EXACTLY; we need real innovators/ job creaters like the Koch brothers.
Hey now. Their perfectly round glazed donut hole boy of a son is making some spiffy fucking shirts that are going to fly off the shelves of the store so-fat-I-worked-from-home Homer Simpson bought his mumus from.
With what is happening right now is considered for bitching/ hating/ panties in a bunch about someone’s actions, old Musky crotch is so far down the list as to not even be visible, but everybody has priorities I guess.
Something about walking and chewing gum, as they say.
As someone who shopped at those stores since I was in high school, I hate that every design they sell at those fucking stores is hideous dogshit vomited into diarrhea.
SpaceX or North Korea?
That’s why people are flipping their shit.
What did you expect from teh mayor of Southtown?
Yes, I know what that’s from you sneaky devil.
Oh that’s what it was? We were confused as fuck out here.
BTW it looked fucking awesome
Twitter is loaded with pictures of it.
Is it really a good idea to have a giant open flame anywhere near California right now?
All the presents have been purchased and wrapped and I’m off work until Tuesday.
Happy festive drinking occasion folks!
Nicely done! I have ONE gift outstanding and the company has been useless in terms of tracking.
So fuck it.
Elasticity is good for many things.
I… haven’t started yet! I know what I’m getting the rest of the Weaselo household though, so problems mostly solved. I just have to… do that.
Guh. I’m back on my bullshit.
What does that mean?
Tweeting.
Horrible, horrible tweeting.
Runs to check twitter

You know, a half hour ago I was feeling tired and cranky and pissy, and then I poured myself the last of this year’s Jack Daniels and am here and am feeling great. I love you folks.
Imma ’bout to break open the vodka as soon as I get my redneck family out of the house.
Uncle’s birthday….but not one single N word tonight. Impressive, no?
Not even a “those people”?
Small steps.
Occasionally, dementia has its benefits.
You know the rules: one drink for each slur, repeat until you’re slurring.
Hooray for small miracles
I found this Xmas tune last year and she’s awesome so I need to share again. It’s Low with “Just Like Christmas”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nl0thhV_dx4
That entire disc is pretty good.
So I stumbled upon this remix of a Low song. Still really dig it.

Full version is much better: https://gfycat.com/DeterminedOfficialGemsbok
FWIW, I’m not sure I see the difference. The one I used in tonight’s post was taken directly from your comment, tho I did upload it to a different server. So, maybe I’m just not drunk enough yet to notice whatever difference there is.
The mp4 is less compressed. It’s more obvious on my desktop display.
Yeah, I misunderstood before. When you said full version I misunderstood….I thought there was a longer version you’d posted that I missed.
Oh. I should find the original source though, now that you mention it.
Oh never mind….I see now that you’re talking about the quality of the original.
Carry on.
Third best Christmas movie (behind Die Hard and Die Hard 2):

Lethal Weapon is the second-best Christmas movie.
Oh, man, Dita should get whatever the fuck she wants for Christmas
Once more.
The Coinpocalypse!!! It’s a good thing I put all my money into Jackolanterns.
Tulips! Tulips are the answer!
Why don’t you come to my next investment pitch on the Jackofflantern?
The great thing about the Jackofflantern plan is you don’t need an exit strategy.
Just a clean up strategy
I put all my money into booze, Ramen noodles and MILF porn. Don’t judge, you prep for The End your way, I’ll do it mine.
Corey Chase is always a good investment. Well almost always. I mean who?
This is a solid strategy
