I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day
Older melody.
There are so many crappy modern hymns. I like it when they're written by, oh, Longfellow...
Reynolds, I'm a dangerous-minded man on a ship loaded with hurt. Now, why you got me chatting with your peons?
Womack ,'The Message'
Spike's Bitches 38: Well, This Is Just...Neat.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Favorite Christmas song ever? "Merry Christmas from the Family" That is sooooo my dad's side of the family.
It's a great song. Also very familiar to me from Christmas with my Dad and neighbors.
I also love "Merry Christmas, Baby"
My favorite version is by Southern Culture on the Skids. Super sexy.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I always sing this part
Fran and Rita drove from Harlingen
I can't remember how I'm kin to them
But when they tried to plug their motor home in
They blew our christmas lights
As "Bo and Rita" for my dad's cousin and her husband. Bo usually has everyone gathered around his pickup at family gatherings because that's where the booze and smokes live.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I gotta go with Good King Wenceslas. The dancing girls in Love Actually really made that song for me.

"I am the all-singing, all-dancing crap of the world"
"Christmas Eve/Sarajevo 12/24" is a combination of "Carol of the Bells" and "God Rest Ye Merry Gentleman." Still one of my favorites.
Yeah I picked up the 3 Tran-Siberian Orchestra albums this year. Great stuff.

o hey, forgot to mention. Had a good night bowling today after work. First game was rather humorous. I had eight frames where I knocked down 8 pins (other two frames were 9's...just couldn't get the spare). But I loved the 8 of 8 bit. My 2nd game I got 4 spares & a strike (very good for me), rolled a 117 that game. Third game, 97, just missed 100, aaarrggh. My over all average spanning 130ish games is 89. So tonight, much better than average. Totally stoked! New routine, so I'm hoping it helps boost my average to that 100 mark. Yippee.
OK, I really should be in bed. I'm off. Night Bitches!

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Oooh, carols! I do heart Christmas carols, regardless of the whole not-actually-Christian thing. Joy to the World is a favourite, along with O Come All Ye Faithful... but, really, I like pretty much all of them. This week I've taught my little buggers The Twelve Days of Christmas. We are very unmelodic, indeed shouty, and someone/someones jump up for each of the days, doing mad dancing/leaping/milking/flapping gesticulations. Also, my version has 'cha-cha-cha', with synchronised bum wiggle, after "...in a pear tree!" for no reason other than because I like it. The kids also like it.
Meanwhile, man, 2008 had better be a year of me getting back to the gym and cutting out the carbs, because, Jings, I'm horrifyingly unhealthy. It sort of kills me that when I was 5 dress sizes smaller I felt every bit as gloomy and embarassed about my weight as I do now - I mean, that's just stupid, right? And yet there you have it. Anyway, yes - somebody mail me some motivation so I can start feeling and looking better, okay? Pretty please? With cinammon (but not sugar) on top?

Our wings are not tired.
Monk put the rope on me, not her, but...I could've been!
I enjoy the baby pictures very much, but oh baby, that was a fun picture!

I look more rad than Lutheranism
This is my mostest favoritest Carol of the Bells, ever (which is one of my favorite carols).
So, is it akin to blasphemy for me to link to my favorite "Bells" medley? (That would be 1990s-era SNL, as performed by the Sweeney Sisters.)
I also love "Merry Christmas, Baby"
My favorite version is by Southern Culture on the Skids. Super sexy.
Mmmm. Yes, indeed.
So, I don't THINK she's talking about me, because Monk put the rope on me, not her, but...I could've been!
Eeeep! Thud. Wibble. Brain broken.
