Viewing Thoughts: I think I hate myself. I'm Watching Toby Keith Classic Christmas. Yeah! Crappy country Christmas. It was the only Christmas thing on right now that wasn't a made for TV movie. I thought all country songs were supposed to be able to play guitar and Toby is just singing. That's so cheap. Well, this should be a cheap entry unless we get something so horrific I can talk about it for like a year on end. I am seriously wanting to claw my ears out right now. Someone kill me. I so want to back out right now.
Jewel next proves that she can't fall any farther by appearing as a very special guest. Jewel plays a guitar. Why isn't she playing one? I want my country western stars to play guitar. I want them to be able to defend themselves if they get attacked and by if, I mean when I go over the edge.
So, Toby gives a lot of monologues. They're pretty stupid. BTW, Toby sings "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas". Yes, this man is dead. He dares disgrace the memory of Judy Garland? That's it. I need to avoid the Nutter Center when he's playing there in a couple of months. That's the spirit. With any luck I don't try to hurt him and god forbid they try to get us to stay open late for HIM at the BKstore because I'll laugh and hang up.
Charlie Brown's Christmas Tales: More Charlie Brown. This is a shorter thing. It's like the last one in that there is no main story. It's a bunch of sketches. BTW, I've decided that Linus and Lucy's Brother, Rerun, is just a genetic cloning experiment. I have a theory that Peanuts takes place in a post-apocalyptic world where all the adults were killed and only kids are left. As a result of genetic cloning, Rerun and Linus are actually the same person except Rerun is a younger clone. If it had been a little sister, she would have looked like Lucy. The adults are just robots that can't speak but communicate in static. However, through In Vitro learning, the robots are thought of as parents to prevent rebellion ad to keep the human race going. As for Snoopy being so smart, we, he is an example of genetic regression.
My favorite thing about all the Peanuts Christmas specials is that they retain some degree of the meaning of Christmas. All the rest are all Santa Claus saving Christmas things. Linus is a theologian, identifies himself as one, and isn't afraid of that. Take that Shrek The Halls!
Noted Commercials: So, they have a commercial for what is basically foam with tape that insulates your house. Yeah, 20 bucks for something that anyone could produce. Hey, how about a solar powered dry cleaning device? You just drape it between two trees and hang your clothes from it and they get dry. Its amazing and it is the invention that will revolutionize your life!
Late Christmas Ideas: The head of the first Country Western Musician on a pike. That's all I really want.
Non-Viewing Thoughts: What the hell is a sugar plum or figgy pudding? I almost want to look for one so I can try it. It's probably nasty none the less.

speaking of Judy Garland, this week over at The Judy Garland Experience they are featuring an ultra rare, never before heard recording of Judy's 1967 Christmas show at Madison Square Garden. Judy is in spectacular form and gives a memorable show (that also features Lorna Luft and Tony Bennett). The are also featuring a rare 1962 Here's Hollywood interview, a private performance from 1964, Judy's radio portrayal of Cinderella, and dozens of other rare recordings including Barbra Streisands 1968 appearance at Carnegie Hall.
If you haven't heard of The Judy Garland Experience it is a group on Yahoo that features rare Garland related audio and pictures, as well as lively discussions.
The group has the largest and most eclectic membership of all the Garland groups.
It is definitely worth checking out.
