That is one of my favorite Christmas albums! John Denver + Muppets = sticky sweet awesomeness

I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus - this leads to confused children everywhere, either Mommy is cheating on Daddy, or Santa Claus isn't real. If we don't want teachers telling kids Santa's not real, why would we do the same thing via song?

I don't know, I find it much easier to believe in a fat man that makes toys all year in a harsh climate, than some magical being who created the whole world out of star dust and has planned every moment in our lives.

My dad told me the Big Bad Wolf lived behind his workshop and would eat me up if I went back there. I believed him until I was 10. Thanks Dad!

Yeah, where we live if you don't report something like this the State can/will sue you or charge you with not reporting.

He wasn't snooping per say, he was backing up the hard drive and had to check that everything had copied over. The guy had apparently left in on his computer when it was being serviced before, he just told people they didn't need to look into certain folders.

My husband does in-home computer tech work for a large American company. He's worked for them for almost 5 years, and just a few months ago he found CP on a customer's computer for the first time. The customer got arrested last week, and is now facing jail time for every picture. I’m very proud of my husband for doing…

The Letters to Santa special you're talking about was made 4 years ago (and yes it's as bad as it sounds), so it's not really related to the new movie.

I think "Snuff" was the only DW thing to come out this year, but it was FANTASTIC so you could just reread that I suppose. If your looking for fancy Discworld books I suggest these (none of them are new to this year though)

No, it's football. It's worse than a cult, because it has so many members

You are a crazy person, and I love you.

Oh look, a first-year teacher who was probably hired to invigorate the teaching staff and bring new and innovative teaching styles to the school, got fired for doing something cool designed to spark interest and discussion in his classroom.

Well, now I'm not as excited for this movie to come out. Crivens! I'll be off to "borrow" some ships.

I really wish the industry would get behind woman liking porn. For the past 5+ years I've hosted a hentai (anime-porn) panel at my local anime convention and I'm friends with another woman who hosts at Dragon*Con and MomoCon. WOMAN LIKE PORN! We all may like it for different reasons, but we like it and watch it.…

That's how I always thought of it as well, but I guess because the phrase is "Indian Giver" and not "Giver to Indians" people think it's Indian's giving something and then taking it back? Glad I'm not the only one confused by this. Edit: according to [en.wikipedia.org] this is why it's insulting: "Indian giver. When…

Unless they still come in giant plastic eggs I'm not interested in what L'eggs is selling.

That's because Louis CK is a fricking comedic genius. His bit about the deers always cracks me up. .

You are right! I guess the episodes of Degrassi I saw were out of order. I don't really pay too much attention to the stories, I just watch it for the ridiculousness of it all =)

Huh, well I don't know then. Maybe we American's just find Jimmy getting shot funny?

It's Drake being shot on the tv show Degrassi [en.wikipedia.org](entertainer). It's what he did before he became famous in the states. As to why it's funny, I guess you have to be a fan of the show.
