Re: Wednesday Open Thread (none / 1)

Picked up the wine and rest of the food today. Finland is wonderfully white at the moment and it looks as if it will last through the holiday.

I just had some fish fingers - possible a new tradition in pre-Grand Bouffe crapfood.

My back is playing Old Harry after a session of snow clearing.

I might watch Dr Strangelove tonight, to get into the Yuletide spirit ;-)

You can't be me, I'm taken

That'll do it! Especially enjoyable with a bottle of your favorite. Merry fucking Christmas!

You're welcome, geez ;-)

Slim Pickens on a falling nuke will be a close approximation of my yuletide, in about 24 hours.

Re: Merry fucking Christmas! (none / 1)

I almost posted another response suggesting Slim Pickins in a Santa outfit riding the bomb down as "I be Seeing You" played. Apocalypse for a deranged world is so satisfying until we consider that we go with it. Even that might be o.k., but not our children too.

Re: Wednesday Open Thread (4.00 / 2)

I'm thinking of having a couple of warm up beers tonight to just prepare myself for the mayhem to come.

Are there such things as beer trainers?

Of course. Tho' when you're on your game you just wrap your laughing gear around a tasty 6.5% London porter
