Almost time for a Christmas tree. I need one of these. (It’s an ASX video file so you’ll need Windows Media Player)

What an interestingly odd little site. Thanks to Chuff for the link.

I need to find some more of The 12 oddest Christmas hits ever!

I’m going to be listening to the Spike Jones stuff this morning. You can download his Xmas Medley right here (a 1 mb zip file containing an MP3).

I used to love the Chipmunks Christmas stuff as kid, but I don’t think I’ve heard the rest of this. Except maybe the Singing Dogs.

Watch this video (a windows media file) and tell me you didn’t laugh or at least shake your head.

Thanks to Lance for the link. No, he’s not dead. Close but not quite. He works for eBay now.

I hope you all have a great Turkey Day and happy Christmas shopping.

CBC News: Harper fires Spencer for remarks on gays

I know I lean more than slightly to the right and, frankly, am sick to death of the Liberal government here in Canada. However, it is remarks like those made by now former family issues critic and MP Larry Spencer that has me truly worried about the state of the right in this country. With jerks like this running their mouths the right doesn’t stand a chance.

What era is this turkey living in? His beliefs, according to what I’ve read, include the delusion that homosexuals have been “recruiting” young boys in playgrounds and locker rooms since the 1960’s. In the interview for the Vancouver Sun article that sealed his fate he goes on to say that it should be a crime to be gay and that even Svend Robinson (an openly gay MP) could become straight.

I guess he overdosed on his whacko/bigot pills that day. Give me a break.

Check out iPod’s Dirty Secret by the Neistat Brothers. Apparently the iPod’s unreplaceable battery last only 18 months and Apple does not offer a new one. Yikes!

Check out PolarHusky.com’s Arctic Transect 2004 as a team of 6 educators and explorers with 30 huskies travel 3000 miles across Nunavut. Not just cool. Ice cold, baby.

Here’s a nasty one. Let’s see what folks think o’ them apples.
