happy Christmuhkwanzamadan

Another in our ongoing series of multiculti seasonal anthems. And with all the struggles I’m having trying to do a simple podcast, take what you can get; I nearly posted Kiki and Herb’s “Total Eclipse of the Heart” instead, just because it fits my mood somewhat better at the moment.

But then, Kiki and Herb are the universal language, are they not? (PS if you see Bill Gates or Steve Jobs, tell them to duck if they’re coming through Vancouver. I could strangle those two bytches with my bare hands at this point)

Merry Christmas. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

you’ve lived in Chinatown too long when…


You are one of the more creative of the dictators. When not writing poetry you’re devising your own version of communism. As over two million Chinese staved to death because of your little experiment you should have stuck to writing sappy songs!

the Grinch drinking game

grinchy, yoThis we can blame on my family. The specific twig of the family tree which branched out into inventing the Grinch drinking game is, alas, lost to history, but we are all proud of him, from the tall to the small.

The procedure is simple. You lay out a tray of shot glasses filled with shots. You take one every time they say “Hoo”.

They say it eighteen times in the theme song, which they sing three times throughout the show.

No-0ne can ever remember who won.

Porky Pig’s Blue Christmas

The greatest and most moving Christmas classic of all time.

That’s all, folks!

a child’s podcast in Wales

Lydia sent me Dylan Thomas’ A Child’s Christmas in Wales as mp3’s, so I thought I’d share them. Hopefully this will work, as I haven’t got time to tweak Odeo and bend it to my will like I normally do.

UPDATE: Nope, it don’t. Will try to fix it later, wish me luck. This should work.
