(One day I'll be on b.org long enough not to have to google LDB every year. Not this year, though. I just keep forgetting).
It's like, in the middle of all this, I'm paranoid that you'll think I don't like poetry.

I can't remember hearing the Wham song, which means I may be out or not -- Schrodinger time, indeed. But I'm still playing for LDB, despite being in several venues where Xmas songs are run incessantly.

Last year I got LDB'd as I passed a cigar bar that had music piped outside. Recently, a columnist posted a list of the worst 10 of 100 seasonal songs ... LDB was #100 (lower/worse than Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer).

I really dislike LDB, but it's not worse than Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer. That columnist is sadly mistaken.

Yeah, I have heard some really nice versions of LDB, never of Grandma Got Run Over.

To be fair, I do think the Bing Crosby-David Bowie version is kind of lovely.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
I'm out of Whamageddon, too. With Xmas music playing in the lab every day, it's not a surprise. I'm not sure if I've heard the original, but I've definitely heard a cover.

Thrive to spite them
I haven't been listening to much Christmas music. They don't play it at work I haven't gone many places besides work and I avoid the 2 radio stations that have gone 24/7 Christmas. One before Thanksgiving

I honestly thought "When did Bing and Bowie do 'Grandma Got Run Over'?"

No surprise, the tree did not get decorated while I was out of town. In fact it was like I was never gone, including the dishes I left in the sink still there.
So I picked up my son and a pizza and he is doing the tree while I supervise. Bad Santa via Netflix in the background.
