Merry Christmas, you crazy bastages!

Merry Christmas, gang.

I honestly can't tell if that dude is trying to spoof Bono or if he's actually that earnest about it.

Is that what you kids are calling it these days?

JT is here.



I just got home from seeing Django Unchained, the holiday feel good movie of the year!

 

[corianderstem]

And I came out of Les Miserables just about sobbing*, so it's just a feel-good kind of day.




*I am physically incapable of making it through any version of the musical without crying through half the songs, so this was not really a surprise.

He gets at least a 5 for the shirt alone, which is reminiscent of:

So has anyone else run across this Twitter meme today? Pretty funny.

Well, his name is Ernest. Or Ernesto, as the case may be.

My friend and I were total basketcases by the end of the play when we saw it with our school choir group in New York.

The Hap Hap Happiest Christmas - YouTube

I used to quote this bit all the time when I was a little kid.

Merry Christmas, everyone! Hope you all had a lovely day. My sister and her boyfriend came over both yesterday and today and we just chilled and had food and watched TV together and opened presents and all that good stuff. Uneventful, but nice .

(On another note, I'm hearing about tornado warnings down in the southeastern U.S. today. That's just all sorts of wrong.)

So I've already had to replace a dishwasher this month. Now I have to either replace a microwave/oven combo unit or shell out however much to get it fixed. Fuck.

 

[PhilsFan]

Does anyone know how to remove a Memory Stick from an SD slot? I may have just ruined every family photograph my mother has taken for the last several years, so any help would be appreciated.

 

[Danny Boy]

Fucking proprietary Sony bullshit. Um, Pull hard?

Spoiler

I'm in a rare mood tonight after pricing microwave/oven combos online.

 

[Danny Boy]

I just bought the new Burial EP online, so that's helping my mood a bit.

Lossless, Scumbo.

 

[PhilsFan]

Fuck. I have legitimately fucked up nearly everything I have attempted for months. Something's gotta give.

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

merry christmas, everyone.

you turkey haters will be happy to know my turkey was amazing. seriously, everyone was raving it was my best yet. just fyi.

 

[bono_212]

Fuck. I have legitimately fucked up nearly everything I have attempted for months. Something's gotta give.

I'm not saying this sarcastically, but there's no eject button next to where you put it in?

We had a streak like that for a few months. Dishwasher, car, tires; whatever it was, it would cost around $600. It finally ended after about 5 months.

 

[IWasBored]

Pretty sure I need a new microwave as well. This thing takes four minutes to warm up a bowl of soup.

 

[bono_212]

The good news is if you're not too picky, microwaves aren't too expensive. (Obviously those combo units are a different story, this comment was aimed more at IWB)

It was good, but then her brother started posting and it got even better. Love it when internet badasses call out other people for being internet badasses.

 

[cobl04]

I liked the simplicity of "you ungrateful cunt"

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

and because like five people took ten seconds to type a reply telling her she's a spoiled bitch (seriously once you slap a cover on it, do you even notice the colour of the ipad?), she took the time to reply to nearly all of them individually to tell them to get a life and not fuck with her. who's the one who doesn't have a life?

 

[IWasBored]

Oh yeah, and I'm certainly not too picky. Does it heat up my soup? Ok, good. Sold. the extra money next paycheck amounts to about 20 hours of overtime, that will more than cover a pretty decent non-combo one. In sure db's kitchen is much fancier than mine.

 

[cobl04]

Man, 808s & Heartbreak sucks, I'm sorry. Paranoid is the only great song. Thank goodness he got back to what he does best on his next album.

 

[LemonMelon]

Heartless, Love Lockdown, Paranoid, Street Lights and Coldest Winter are the only FUCKING GREAT songs, while most everything else is pleasant.

 

[LemonMelon]

I've never been the world's biggest Dazed and Confused fan. It's pretty cool, you know, Jimmy Page is doing some neat guitar things with the bow and what not, but the song takes too long to build up speed. I changed my mind about the song today though, and it's mostly because John Bonham is a total badass. After the wank break in the middle of the track, Bonham flies back in with these nasty fills, just tearing the fuck out of his kit. It's beautiful. He's great on the whole track, but picking up on that one part made my day.

Between that and re-discovering how great Communication Breakdown is, the debut is starting to climb after years of stalling in the middle of my rankings. You Shook Me and I Can't Quit You Baby are serviceable but hold the album back.

 

[cobl04]

I'd say the debut's my favourite, though they're a band I haven't spent enough time with.

 

[LemonMelon]

I've always been a Houses of the Holy man, with IV coming in second by the smallest margin imaginable.

II has a special place in my heart because it was the album that convinced me that Jimmy Page was my favorite guitarist of all time. I've been trying to get What Is And What Should Never Be perfected ever since, but those weird 9th chords throw me off.
