Hey, Mega millions 207 million dollars ...

somebody has to win it.

If you don't (and you probably won't) - enjoy How the Grinch Stole Christmas:





Christmas video countdown -





Today in History -

December 12, 1915 -
It's Francis Albert Sinatra's birthday. I've been asked (threatened by large burly men from Philadelphia of Italian ancestry) not to bring up his mafia connections, so today we will not be resorting to that cheap gimmick to slander the Chairman of the Board, greatest singer of the 20th century.









December 12, 1937 -
Japanese aircraft shell and sink US gunboat Panay on the Yangtze River in China. Japan apologized, disciplining those involved and paying $2.2M reparations.



You think we might have seen something coming up.


December 12, 1980 -
"Whip It" earns Devo a gold record. It is the first distinction of its kind for any song about masturbation. Whip it good.




December 12, 1991 -
Richard Gere (who is not gay) marries supermodel Cindy Crawford (ditto). Widespread rumors that Gere was intimate with a gerbil have yet to be verified.



Again, " Richard is not a homosexual or bisexual, he just get's carried away at those orgies."


9 more shopping days until Hanukkah, 12 more shopping days until Christmas.

And so it goes.
