“i wait for it the whole year round”
Oh my. 3°C, Cloudy? It’s like Hoth out there. Cold, ice, freezing desolation. You may have to climb inside a tauntaun for warmth.

The Pogues & Kirsty McColl - Fairytale Of New York (Xmas Song)
Headline of the Year, possibly Decade, possibly Ever:
Kung fu monkeys turn tables on trainer
and here is a pull from the article, which might be the pinnacle of the written word:
“At one point the monkey trainer grabbed a staff to hit the monkeys, only to find himself facing a stick-brandishing monkey that cracked him over the head.”
This is great.
agreed - this is seven minutes of viral video heaven. i love how fatso sort of presides over the whole thing, a god-figure, monitoring the events, poised at any time to deliver his judgment should he deem it deserved. and, of course, he does.
related, if you’re my secret santa, i would like an 11x14 print of fatso with the paws hovering over the keys to hang in my rumpus room.
Christmas Lights Display of the Day: Former Disney Imagineer and special effects specialist Ric Turner set his family up with a fully-functional, 21,268-bulb-strong Guitar Hero-themed arrangement, and programmed it to play Eric Johnson’s “Cliffs of Dover.”
Wait, it gets better:
When you play, you watch only the Christmas lights, but the audio you hear is from the Wii, so your flubs are broadcast for all to hear (people in cars can tune 99.1 and crank it up as loud as they want.) When we are not playing, a separate version of the program that has the audio from the recorded game plays with the lights as a loop.
Welp, Christmas is officially canceled. Nothing is topping this, so we might as well call the whole thing off.

“You know, six months ago, I was making poop jokes or watching birds, or walking the aisle of a grocery store just cause it feels comforting. Every time I miss home I’ll go to a grocery store and walk the aisles. And usually I’ll get dental floss, that’s my go to, if I‘m feeling nostalgic, or if I’m feeling lonely, and then I’ll come home … what was I talking about?”
Vulture’s interview with Danny Pudi, who plays the lovable (and totally original) character Abed on Community, which is the SECOND BEST SHOW ON TV, is fantastic. Also he says his wife wishes he were more “violent looking.” It’s awesome.
