PUTTING THE TORCH TO MY PILE OF GOOD KARMA
I mentioned previously that I'm just a wee bit tired of Christmas music at the bank.
Well, it seems that everybody's favorite chubby, squinty-eyed, folk-singer/snowman, Burl Ives, belted out one too many verses of "Holly Jolly Christmas" and the tenuous thread by which my sanity was hanging snapped like a beatnick's fingers.
Consequently, I was inspired to turn this cheerful little holiday ditty into something dark and twisted. I've placed it in the extended entry to protect those less Grinched-out than myself.
Here's a midi file if you want to sing along. Ignore the 5 second intro and quit after about 51 seconds, unless you want to repeat some verses.
DRUNKEN F***IN' CHRISTMASHave a drunken f***in' Christmas
Swill another keg of beer.
Yes I know, that up you'll throw
Just please don't do it here.Have a drunken f***in' Christmas
Punching cops out on the street.
Go to jail, call me for bail
Ain't that a f***in' treat?Oh no! You drank Stern-o!
Went blind and now can't see.
You're lucky if you'll live through this
*shrug* Leaves more booze for me.Have a drunken f***in' Christmas
As you stumble far and near
Ya blottoed skunk have a drunk-
en f***in' Christmas this year!

Excerpt: The countdown to Christmas is getting shorter, and I'm still waiting for some of my internet Christmas present purchases to get here. Remind me not to take everybody up on "super saver shipping" next year, because I'm getting too old to wait for the US...

Hilarious, Harv. Now just think, if you put that imagination to good use... ;)
ROFL!!!!Brilliant!
Dana - What?... Leave the Dark Side?
Susie - Thanks :-)
Harv,
Listen' to that midi file damned near killed me. ;) But, I'll say this, readin' the extended entry, well, it pretty much sums up Christmas's around the 'Neck shack.
Merry Christmas.
Harvey...pure, unadulterated BRILLIANCE!!!!
Dammit, I can't get the damn midi. I really, really hate quicktime. I added the plug in in Firefox and the damn browser hangs now. IE is worthless and can't even tell its a quicktime file. Stupid, worthless computers. I'm going back to my Linux box.
I'm so unimpressed. I finally get the file to find out there's no imposed Harvey-lyrics. I was going to convert the Harvey song to flash, but there's no damn lyrics.
I'm going to hang out with T1G for awhile, I know he's got some powerful seasonal eggnog...
Ok, I completely wasted an entire day of vacation, but here you go:
