Friday, 12/7 --
Hi and Happy Hanukkah to all of the chosen ones. I know it started on Tuesday, but Shabbat is tonight.
JC finds it hard to explain to his daughters that when he was younger it snowed in wintertime.
My 14th annual Christmas Party is Saturday night. This possibly may be the last one. I hear the party preparation duties are a little one-sided in our household. Friends and family are all invited to my home for the evening.
Our Christmas songs today: “Alan Parson’s Winder Wonderland” and one you, the listener, can actually get: Denis Leary’s “Merry F-in’ Christmas.”
Our 12 Days of Christmas: Today was Meet Me In St. Louis (Prize packages from some of our favorite area neighborhoods) with a total value of $2606.
1. People get their pets 6.7 Christmas gifts a year.
2. The average American consumes 4 lbs. of spice a year.
Monday will be The Kids Are All Right (Gifts for the whole family).
When I was growing up on Winona Avenue in South Saint Louis we had neighbors we called “The Winnebagos.” Guess what their hobby was?
The next time the “Katie Morgan's Porn 101” documentary will air is Monday the 10th at 11:55 pm on HBO HD.
“Fall from Grace” is the documentary on Showtime about the Westboro Baptists.
If the people in the Dardenne Prairie MySpace case move, then do they look guilty? JC thinks that the community should take up a collection and help their plans along a bit.
When JC & John were kids, not only were their parents looking out for them, but grandparents & neighbors.
The Hannah Montana 3D Concert Movie debuts February 1st. Tickets are on sale now. Call 800.FANDANGO or click to www.Wehrenberg.com.
84% of people struck by lightning are males.
35% of married men surveyed won’t change the thermostat temperature without first checking with their spouse.
50% of men surveyed pee in the snow. (I say it’s higher.)
10% of those surveyed say that if they were involved in an accident with a parked car, they’d just leave if no one was around. The other 90% lied.
I laughed very much at this today. The rest of the Showgrammers looked at me funny. It’s from Back to the Future (it’s funnier if you’re familiar with the film):
This was listed yesterday, but some people are lazy, so here it is again. Dan O’Neill will be signing his book Sportsmans Park: The Players, the Fans & the Game at the following places:
Tonight: December 7th from 3–5pm at Sportsman’s Park Sports Bar in Clayton (with Brownies – the ball team, not the food nor girl scouts), then 7–9pm at the Borders in Chesterfield (with Dal Maxvill).
Saturday, December 8th from 2–4pm at the Borders in Sunset Hills (with Lee Thomas).
Sunday, December 9th from 2–4pm at the Borders in Fairview Heights (with Bill DeWitt, Jr. – tentatively).
Wednesday, December 12th from 5–7pm at the Barnes & Noble in Springfield, IL (with crickets & the night watchman.)
Happy Birthday to Gary B & Asher B. (yesterday & today respectively)!
The JoY was “Schwetty’s Christmas Balls” from “SNL.” The 3fA featured the Atlanta Rhythm Section. The Vault was pre-empted due to time constraints. Sorry! Finally, Kanye West scared Mike Myers on the Katrina telethon.
Don't
Do Anything Stupid,
