Hey, we’re back with a first draft of Docudharma’s 12 Days of Christmas. Most of the lyrics have come from Rusty1776 and On The Bus. Take a look and if you have any ideas for making it better, please join in!!! But first…Frank Kelly’s 12 Days of Christmas is just hysterical. I’m laughing as i try to embed this… really and truly… this is great.
and this, holly hocks and ivy, is bizarre…

but this would not be complete without a flying pig, now would it?

Good afternoon! I am a Procrastinating Pickle and this is an open thread. Have at it, kidz!

Happy Monday, all! Hopefully, everyone had an enjoyable long weekend. ‘Twas not a long weekend for the Pickle, though, since I live in Canada. Nevertheless, I had an enjoyable weekend. We actually had decent weather, so Mr. Pickle and I went for a few long walks.
Oh, and I forgot to assemble something for today’s Pony Parties. I am SUCH the procrastinator. And, I’m vying to have the worst Pony Parties evah! So, instead of commentary from me, let’s hear your Thanksgiving stories!

I have a serious catalog and magazine addiction. I love looking at the catalogs and consistently, with a few exceptions, never actually buy anything form them. I just like to contemplate a life in which things match, the home is designed with clean lines, everybody dresses with that annoying casual style that is actually really, really expensive. I am not convinced I want that life, it is just fun to wonder.
Thus I subscribe to Vanity fair as a sort of exercise in anthropology. Vanity Fair really likes rich people and dissecting the lives of rich people and talking to rich people about the stuff they own, why they own it, and what else they want to own.

I used to read the comics in the newspaper all the time but now they are all so mind numbingly boring I don’t bother. Does anybody read Dercity? If you don’t check it out he is a gem. I like this one but he is rarely “off.”
I like to read Cary Tennis over atsalon because sometimes the problems people write in about make me realize that I am not nearly as screwed up and shallow as I thought I was. This one tells the sad tale of a 43 year old woman who is beautiful but terrified she is aging. I wasn’t that cute when I was young, so now that I am 43, the whole losing my beauty thing doesn’t seem like that big of a deal. My grandmother, who is 86, says the being old part doesn’t concern her much it is the whole her body is falling apart and she worries she won’t be able to live independently for much longer thing that irks her.
Cartoon fun… I relate to this cartoon, I could see me having a bad day like this… and I love his crappy attitude…

I am thematically challenged today. Those who know me well would say that is nothing new. Sometimes I turn floundering into an art form.
I have to thank Ek for putting excerpts of Cyrano in Hollow Stars Gazette. It has reminded that it is time to re-read Anna Karenina. Every few years I crack it open and the interesting part is that at different points in my life I have either identified or embraced certain characters in the book. After that I will crack open the Brothers Karamazov. I seriously regret not taking a Russian lit course in college.
