    Do you guys think the Spider-Man villain Kraven was named that because a guy thought the word "craven" sounded cool and had only recently learned it was actually a grave insult, and then he couldn't let go of his affection for it

    That's odd. I didn't vote for White Privilege. I guess I just had it automatically.

    I don't like it much myself but Lemmy is God, therefore Ace of Spades is ipso facto a Christmas song.

    The boss of the company next door was driven away in a police car earlier today.

    He does have several very expensive cars for what is apparently a company with perhaps three employees.

    Christmas Eve we’re having 20 people in our apartment. It’s gonna be tight. I hope we make enough food.

    Christmas Day we’re going over to girlfriends family’s place at 1:30 for first dinner. Then over to my dad’s at 7 for 2nd dinner. It’s going to be exhausting.

    My holiday schedule has fortunately restricted us to just one event a day, though I'm not sure it will be any less exhausting, truth be told :P

    23rd - Dad 24th - Brother & Mom 25th - Fish's Family 26th - Fish's Family Part 2 27th - Friend Christmas

    Then a brief pause, and then the 30th - 2nd are dedicated to various New Year's / anniversary celebrations, because we are fools who have an anniversary on January 1st >_>

    Best christmas song is "I'm Gettin' Nuttin' for Christmas"

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aUA7BPnog_0

    Because in the end the lesson of the song is, "And I would've gotten away with it too if it weren't for those damn snitches!"

    A trap is for fish: when you've got the fish, you can forget the trap. A snare is for rabbits: when you've got the rabbit, you can forget the snare. Words are for meaning: when you've got the meaning, you can forget the words.

    I hate Christmas music. Unfortunately Missnub loves that shit.

  • credeikicredeiki Registered User regular
    Ok but joke responses aside the nutcracker suite is actually the best Christmas song

    To be clear, not the full ballet cause that has a lot of filler, but the 20 min suite consisting of all the good tunes.

    speaking of giant idiot i may have spent the morning pouring gas on the fire that is our completely dysfunctional business operation to corporate and i am certain old boss is not going to be happy about it

    in fairness they're asking me to do a bunch of stuff that is theoretically a good idea but in practice will just make everything worse because shit is so fucked up here

    i basically plainly asked if it has been made clear to them how screwed up things are here right now haha

    i've gone mad with power

    I'm not saying I'll kick anyone trying to start the Baby, It's Cold Outside argument out of the thread, even if they're doing it in jest.

    I'm heavily implying it, though.
