The Druids under the Friday Night Lights

I don’t normally post advertising on this site, but in the interest of mocking it, I give you: the Snuggie. The ad is so silly it reduced us to tears.

I had to edit this post – I had the video embedded but it was set to auto-launch, which was annoying enough. Then their site overloaded and it was screwing up my page loading, so I’ve removed the video and am giving you a link to the website. The video loads automatically when you click the link – you’ve been warned.

GetSnuggie

I love love love the image of the druid family sitting in the bleachers. Husband is partial to the family sitting around the fire in their (presumably flammable) matching flannel potato sacks.

If I hadn’t already rounded out my holiday shopping list with a case of Mr. Yuk t-shirts, I know what I’d be ordering tonight.

Oh hell, I’ll bet I know what my in-laws are giving me for Chanukah…

Feliz Navidad

Feliz Navidad is the number one cause of earworm-related fatalities in North America.

OK, I made that up. I have no evidence to prove the existence of fatal earworms. But if there was such a thing, Feliz Navidad would be it.

In fact, I’m quite certain that on Fringe we’re eventually going to discover that Walter was driven batshit insane in that hospital after the government forced him to listen to that blasted song over and over until it was permanently lodged in his brain. It will explain a lot.

Capitol Tree lighting

No one was willing to go with me to watch them light up the Capitol Hill Christmas tree so I watched it on CNN. Lazy, I know. I like to let CNN buffer so I can skip the commercials and I hit the pause button on the Tivo remote just as Nancy Pelosi said, “This tree was trimmed with young people.” I was really enjoying the mental image of a 100 foot tree festooned with toddlers hanging on these baby hooks, but I checked back to see what she really said. It wasn’t nearly as funny. What she really said was, “This tree was trimmed with young people in mind.”

Oh well.
