The Little Drummer Boy, the Gimungous Drag Queen

Posted on by

I. Can’t. Believe. that I didn’t post this last year. Or the year before. Or, like, ev-ar. But this is, in my opinion, the only acceptable update of that Christmas classic The Little Drummer Boy since Bing and Bowie. It is, ladies and gentlemen and those on whom the good Lord and the rest of us reserve judgement, Ru. Fucking. Paul. and the bounciest choir of angels you’ve ever seen (even if that shepherd totally has white man’s rhythm).

From RuPaul‘s excellent blog, our thought o’ the day:

sometimes i find myself saying ‘where am i’ or ‘how do i know that person’, but more and more it’s becoming very evident that it really doesn’t matter.
all that matters is that we are here together.

Inspired by a slight difference of opinion over at TeenyManolo regarding “The Worst Christmas Songs of All Time” which list is, in my opinion, incomplete without this abomination (NSFdiabetics).

Merry Cthristmas!

Carol of the Old Ones
lyrics over the jump

It’s that time of year again; the time when families gather together (no, not the reading of the will!) and share what it means to celebrate Cthristmas.

It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Fishmen
lyrics over the jump

We at the ol’ raincoaster blog have taken to this like Deep Ones to the ocean depths, decorating not one but four different Cthristmas trees. Which one do you like best?

Nyarlathotep, yo

The Azathoth tree

Chihuly Cthristmas tree

The Chihuly tree

Cthristmas Bonus!

The Squid tree

and the latest entry:

Cthulhu Tree

the Octophrost tree

Octophrost, in case you landlubbing types didn’t know, is the Santa of the Sea. Closely related to the Cascadian Tree Octopus, Octophrost brings all the good small fry of the ocean their presents, which he carries in a large ink sac.

Octophrost is made of snow and ice … instead of shooting out ink clouds to hide he shoots out a mini blizzard of snow, that he makes all the toys himself because he’s got eight arms, and other stuff like that.

Naturally. If Santa himself had eight arms, he’d get all that present-delivering crap over with in ten minutes, and the squalling little brats at the mall wouldn’t have a chance when they made a break for it.

Now let’s all sing some Cthristmas Carols!

quiz: what Christmas movie is your Christmas most like?

Posted on by

Singing? I. Don’t. Think. So. The fact that I do NOT sing in public is proof that God exists and is merciful. Trust me.


Your Christmas is Most Like: The Muppet Christmas Carol


You tend to reflect on Christmas past, present, and future…

And you also do a little singing.

What Movie Is Your Christmas Most Like?

THIS quiz, on the other hand, is 100% accurate, thankfully.


You Are Most Like Heidi Klum

Day of the Ninja: how to become a ninja

Posted on by

As we here at the ol’ raincoaster blog have noted, December 5th is the Day of the Ninja. You may wish to ninjafy yourself, or you may wish to ninja-proof yourself (as if such a thing can be done!) in preparation for the dread event.

Our sympathies, naturally, lie much more towards the Squid quadrant of the Grid of Alignment (Squid, Pirate, Ninja, Robot) than the Ninja quadrant, but we provide the following How To Become A Ninja chart as a public service to our readers.

Click to enlarge. And: Don’t say we never did nuthin for ya.

quiz: what kind of candy are you?

Posted on by

What does it mean that I’m a kind of candy you can’t get in my country? I’d rather be something nice and Canadian, like Maple Toffee or something.

They call you sticky fingers for a reason!
