Best to all of you.
As a gift, my favorite of all the Christmas songs. Enjoy!

Joan Jett? That’s a death threat isn’t it?
I kid. Merry Christmas and My best to the Goldstein’s.
You made bh’s night.
Merry Christmas right back atcha.
“It’s a Merry Christmas straight to you, I hope it cheers you up when you are down and feeling blue…”
Merry effin critmas to everyone here, and I mean that from the bottom of my cold, cold heart. Now you’ll have to excuse me, I have to go hold my wifes hair as she hurls up what was a very nice Christmas ham.
god bless us everyone.
To everyone here at PW:
The holidays are always the toughest time of the year for the deployed troops here in Afghanistan and also over in Iraq (I served a year there before coming here in 2009). My Christmas wish is for everyone to say a little prayer for the brave men and women who so selflessly serve our nation, remember their families who sacrifice so much, and always strive to make our nation worthy of the effort and commitment that they dedicate for us all. They truly are the best of the best.
Merry Christmas to you all!
Dew
Amen Dewclaw, I said the same thing here ( http://tiny.cc/n1toz ), just not as eloquently as yourself.
Merry Christmas, happy Chanukah, and my best to our gracious host, his commendable contributors, and the erudite commentariat; all from whom I learn so much. I’m grateful for all the opportunities afforded to discuss any topics with you fine folks.
All the best to, well, all the best…
Done, done and done, Dewclaw. Keep your head down and your butt covered.
Thanks Bob and SW! Keeping my head low and my butt lower… Heh!
Dewclaw:
Nobody in my household gets firmer prayers or heartier “HOO-RAHS!” than guys like you and Danger who serve overseas. Follow Silver Whistle’s excellent advice and have a joyous Christmas and a Happy New Year.
HOO-RAH!
Thanks BJTex… but I’m just a stinking evil money grubbing war-profiteering contractor (what used to be in the Navy… STINKING SQUID!!). And I can hop on the next bird out of here anytime I don’t feel like playing anymore. I have been told there is a special corner of hell reserved for me. Meh… whatev. ;)
LTC John, Danger, and the rest of our esteemed friends here are the TRUE heroes. I’m just along for the ride.
It has been my honor and privilege serving alongside them, working my best to provide them Force Protection Training and hopefully sending some of them home safely where they might not have been otherwise. I thank God every day for all of our service men and women…. and my heart goes out to them when I see them eating in the DFAC today obviously missing thier families and wanting to be home. I will make sure to pass along everyone’s thoughts and prayers to the soldiers, Marines and airmen I work with… they are needed and appreciated by all.
Again… Merry Christmas all! Even though I lurk more than I post here… I appreciate everyone here (except the trolls).
Merry Christmas to all.
We had quite the parade of people through our house Christmas Eve, all unplanned, unscripted yet turned out marvelous.
Yeah sure, it’s all fun and games until someone gets an eyeliner put out.
Merry Christmas, everyone!
Merry Christmas to Jeff, Darleen and all the PW regulars!
Merry Kristmas! (I kan’t say it with the third letter of the alphabet because the EPA is regulating all of my see!)
Also, not to forget our differently footed friends.
Merry Christmas to you all from foggy central Utah.
I wish that everyone here was surrounded by family, presents, and turkey.
For those that aren’t – especially those who serve – a special wish for peace and joy and gratitude, just for you.
God Bless You All.
Merry Christmas to all. My prayers and thanks go out to my brothers and sisters in uniform who continue to serve so magnificently. God bless.
Merry Christmas Jeff and family. Merry Hoho as well to Darleen, Sanity Inspector, and all my friends here.
Merry Christmas to all you racist haters on PW. May your Christmas dinners stolen from the mouths of disabled, minority, TGLB Delta Smelt not taste too much like ashes.
I keed, I keed!
Crackas…;-)
Merry Christmas …
Sure would be nice if michael Behenna could be with his family.
I’m sorry to be so enraged.
Thanks for JJ. Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas again. Now to find some dinner.
Looks like Jerry Jones got an extra helping of botox for the holidays.
Go ARIZONA~!
– Great music. That will go on my music shelf right between AC/DC’s Hell’s Bell’s, and the Plasmatics doing “Holy friggin night”.
My girls got me a Chia Obama pet.
how are you going to “water” it?
Merry Christmas, to all of you h8ers. It’s been a fun year, no? Happy New Year!
merry christmas all

Wow. Cowgirls lose. What a game
Iowahawk, he cares.
Christmas dinner at my mother-in-law’s didn’t go as scripted, since the expected guest list included four people who were on the wrong side of roads local authorities here in Chattanooga said “should be avoided.”
it may happen tonight instead, if Nature (the mother) cooperates.
Meanwhile the three of us enjoyed a much more relaxed and low-key Christmas, as I have tended to prefer.
White Christmas, quiet Christmas… Santa not only got my letter but overlooked a year of outlaw naughtiness. Or maybe he’s not as goody-two-shoes as everyone thinks.
Obama cares too. NICE style.
From the link I put in #33.
“All I want for Christmas is ‘end of life’ planning!”
Awright, the Pogues are coming to New York on March 17th.
This I gotta see. And will.
That email circulated in November, geoffb. Nice to see the NYT sitting on it until Christmas Eve. Just like they did with the WikiLeaks documents, right ?
No football prediction thread this week? For the first time this season, I’m awake on a Sunday early enough to submit my own picks.
Here are my Week 16 picks:
DET @ MIA – Miami Dolphins
BAL @ CLE – Baltimore Ravens
NE @ BUF – New England Patriots
WAS @ JAC – Jacksonville Jaguars
NYJ @ CHI – Chicago Bears
TEN @ KC – Kansas City Chiefs
SF @ STL – St. Louis Rams
IND @ OAK – Oakland Raiders
SD @ CIN – San Diego Chargers
HOU @ DEN – Denver Broncos
NYG @ GB – Green Bay packers
SEA @ TB – Seattle Seahawks
MIN @ PHI – Philadelphia Eagles
NO @ ATL – Atlanta Falcons
I’m happy just imagining Jerry Jones’ massive butt-hurt this morning.
go cleveland
Well, you get credit for the Falcons and Eagle picks, and extra credit for the Oakland pick. I’d like to see Jacksonville and Houston (and, of course, Indy) lose.
Tebow gets the start against Houston.
My suspicion is that the “annual end of life planning” will cease the moment you sign up for the plan that saves your government the most money.
It will work like the local millage elections that keep coming back, over and over, until they get approved or like the vote re-recounting that continues just until the “right” candidate wins the vote.
Choice ratchets one way only.
Hey, I’m certain that I was going to get 100% on my football pics this weekend:
PIT over CAR
ARI over DAL
TEN w’l;iofn;OAZiycf’;klhzsd[oasd
aoiydsfch.lkq
We appear to be having technical difficulties . . . .
Choice ratchets[,] one way only.
Code Norwegian?
Blast…
WOOT WOOT!!!!!
how ’bout that fourth quarter?
I was wondering what happened to the rest of Myron’s accordion, as well.
That almost makes up for Calvin Johnson getting screwed over earlier this season.
With a quarter left, Denver and Oakland might still pull it off, but it’s not looking good.
Jon Stewart is little more than coke-headed vulgarian dwarf. Why the hell does anyone listen to him?
there is a season to spin, spin, spin

Cheers on the Joan Jett choice. You’re a man of substance and refined sensibilities, Jeff.
I have Christmas musics recommended by the younger members of the bh family:
Here is a smooth player and all around ladies’ man.
Here is an overly transgressive babysitter.
Here are some very earnest twelve year olds acting all grown up and stuff.
Here is an old school MC talking smack/eating a cookie.
Here is a very good song with an art student-ish video that reminds of the ’90s.
(I sorta like them all to be honest.)
Bh – island girls?
Notice how quiet Dana and serr8d got when the Colts won the central, again.
That first one is like bad Russian pr0n.
Two sort of – no idea why since they have different sounds – reminds me of Elastica – a band I’ve always liked.
I’d like three, but the video makes me want to wedgie them, steal their money and then take a dump in my own hand and throw it in their faces monkey-style. I suppose they look cool in The Badger State (or whatever it’s called).
Four sounds like rap when I was in middle school, I guess it finally reached Wisconsin.
Five, 90’s, in a good way. Yay Wisconsin 2010.
I’m mostly kidding. But some snotnosed punk in a Wisconsin Dairy Queen mocked me for asking what cheese curds were a few years ago and I’ll always have a sneaking suspicion that he was a bh relative. So Wisconsin now gets what I previously reserved for Minnesotans.
cleveland lost so there’s that
That plan went to hell. Turns out I’m required for IMPORTANT BUSINESS tomorrow so I didn’t want to waste the miles. On the plus side, they delivered a bottle of Scotch and some steak so I can’t be too pissed at them.
I’ll get a vacation one day. I’m sure of it.
Colts won, the Packers stayed alive and the Vikings were once again punished by the weather gods. If we could have seen the Bears choke to the New York Sanchez Sucks, it would have been a nice, clean sweep.
Bh – when are you coming down for a game?
I understand, Abe. You come from a place where highest and best use would most likely entail converting the entire state to a parking lot for NYC. This has made you into a kicker of puppies and hater of the simple and good cheese peoples.
If I could fly back out, I could maybe catch a game, JD.
In related news, the fact that the Packers won’t be playing any home playoff games makes it much less likely that someone will slash my car tires for dropping our tickets as a frivolous expense. I was a little worried about that for awhile.
This coming Sunday, if you wish.
New Jersey is the blueberry capital of the world. Also the eggplant capital I’ll have you know. Does Wisconsin grow eggplants? Didn’t think so.
Kinda like that Elastica song.
The subtext for this evening is ’90s music and its surprising shelf life.
I’ll check the schedule tomorrow morning, JD. That might be doable and triple plus good.
Stupid Japan. They start Monday on Sunday.
Let me know, I can make the tickets work.
Oh yeah, take a look in the top right corner. See that link for Groupon?
That company is going gangbusters for good reason. They just turned down some outrageous offer from Google. Their whole deal is selling local gift certificates once a certain number of people buy in — which doesn’t really apply anymore because they’re big enough now that all the deals get triggered pretty much right off the bat.
The relevance here is that if you join up through Jeff’s link (http://www.groupon.com/r/uu12346964), if you ever decide to buy one of the gift certificates, it kicks some money to the referrer (Jeff) for that first purchase.
Costs us nothing, tosses Jeff some cash and there are plenty of good deals.
Shit, if you’re feeling overly imbued with the pw spirit you could even send Jeff’s referral link to other folks through email. As long as they join up through that link, he’ll still get some of that sweet, sweet blog money with their first purchase.
Ad copy ends here. (I actually buy some random stuff from them once in awhile and, yeah, they do have some really good deals from time to time. Okay, ad copy ends here.)
– You’ll be saying ShamWow forevah!
-(Ad copy ends when a stagehand shoots the wiseguy announcer from Joisey)
Good thing they’ve won the central, because they certainly haven’t won the AFC South just yet. If Miss Manning and the Colts lose to the Titans Sunday afternoon and the Jags win at Houston, both Indy and Jacksonville would finish 9-7 but the Jags would win the division because they’ll have a better division record, 4-2 compared to Indy’s 3-3.
A long shot (that is, a long shot being the Titans winning against The Forehead in Indy; the Jags have a pretty good chance, if they grease up their midget, of winning in Houston), but I’d hate it if that happens. No, really~! )
In any event, and a damned shame, but no AFC South team will get past Brady at home.
Oops. Central/south. And you are right about the fuckimg Patriots.
