I was hoping the answer would be "ex baywatch stars and Antonio Sabato Jr in Speedos" was the correct answer.  But it seems they didn't want any bathing suit malfunctions. So, not sure.

I checked U-verse, but it doesn't seem that A Muppet's Christmas Carol is playing on broadcast TV this year.  WTF?!?
I guess I'll have to order it from Amazon.
My kids have no idea who Tiny Tim, or Scrooge is, so I need to remedy this immediately.

So, I'm guessing the guys here who are all "atheists, right?"  never lived in the deep south, or Utah, or Italian America, where you get religion forced on you daily.
And once you realize it's all bullshit, you feel like pulling a MacEnroe 'Are you kidding ME?'
Spending time with your family and friends takes much…
