Interlude: Gheorghemas Carols

You might be surprised to know that in this, the fifteenth year of Gheorghemas, this is the fastest we've ever reached Day Seven. I kid. There's no way that surprises you.

Day Eight and Ten are drafted and ready to go, too. Remarkable times, my friends. Folks our age should rest a bit after setting that kind of pace, I think. So we'll give you the weekend to relax and listen to some of our favorite Gheorghemas tunes, new and old. A-wassailing we'll go! And as always, feel free to add your own faves to the mix.

Timely, this one. Beautiful, too. There's something a little bit magical about hearing someone sing "you scumbag, you maggot, you cheap lousy faggot" in a church while a priest doesn't bat an eye.




New to me. Weird to all. But Elmo's in there somewhere, so it's canon now.






* Some of it, anyway.

That rendition of Fairytale at Shane’s funeral is so stirring. Wow.

Interesting back and forth in the comments of the Christmas In Washington post crapping on the contract the royals gave Gil Meche and discussing the Red Sox pursuit of Dice K.

Dice K has one lights out season, but Meche is arguably the better player according to the advanced stats. Also seems like a good dude as well. He walked away from 11 mil guaranteed in his last year because he was injured and though it oils be unfair for the royals to have to pay him.

Over the Next Three Seasons:

Dice K: WAR 9.9
Meche: WAR of 10.2

So the Riverbottom Nightmare Band has strong shades of Alice Cooper and Deep Purple, no?

That blamed Riverbottom Nightmare Gang... not wholesome.

Marls said...

The Nightmare slapped. Totally deserved to win the Frogtown Hollow talent show. Might have been different if that no talent hack Yancey Woodchuck hadn’t butchered Barbecue forcing Emmet and the boys to change songs. But then again if not for that change, Ma and Emmet never would have started performing together.

Well Marls, that's like, your opinion, man.

Dig up the SNL Weekend Update segment from last night where Che and Jost have to read each other's jokes, sight unseen. Some savagely amusing stuff.

rob said...

savage is right. damn.

I haven’t dug it up but I will. That is always gold.
