Seriously. 0:14 - 0:39, what?
So as a nice family event I sat down to watch a movie tonight with my mother over dinner.
We watched the Sci-Fi movie, TinMan, a 6 hour re-imagining of the Wizard of Oz universe. All in all it was a pretty decent movie. Long but still enjoyable.
There was one scene, however, where my mother uttered a phrase which made me laugh until tears rolled down my cheeks.
Scene: An Unkempt man is circling D.G. in a small room.
D.G. (main character): Where are my friends?
Unknown Man: The last I saw, they were putting up quite the fight.
D.G.: So you only get one quarter of the bounty then.
Unknown Man: I’m not interested in the money.
D.G.: Oh. Where I come from you people drive vans.
My Mother, with the utmost sincerity: Hippies?
Merry Christmas all!
Or, as a more probable source I ganked it from Tysgirl. (more specifically I copied it from JennE)
Pardon the random formatting, I’m tired and don’t really care.
1. Wrapping paper or gift bag? Gift Bag. I’m all about the cheap and easy.
2. Real tree or artificial? Neither. I don’t really have room currently to store a tree.
3. When do you put up your tree? I don’t. See above.
4. When do you take down your tree? WHY WON’T YOU LISTEN TO ME!
5. Do you like eggnog? Have to be in the right mood for it. Sometimes it can be good. Other times it just hits me like a rancid north-eastern alaskan yak.
6. Favorite gift as a kid? World Peace. Seriously, I’ve been hoarding the stuff for years. I will release it for a yet-to-be-determined price.
7. Do you have a nativity scene? No.
8. Hardest person to buy for? 9. Easiest person to buy for? My Mom without a doubt.
10. The worst Christmas present you ever got? One time when I was about, I guess 4 or 5, my Brother wrapped some plain white briefs in a box as a gag gift. Yeah. It was cute to watch the soul-crushing disappointment as I opened my gift. Come to think of it, I think I just solved #8. 11. Mail or email Christmas cards? If I remember to stop by a store real, If I forget day-late emails.
12. Favorite Christmas movie? Don’t really have a movie which would be characterized as a ‘Christmas’ movie.

14. Recycled a Christmas present? Actually no.
15. Favorite thing to eat at Christmas? Food. I’m not exactly picky.
16. White or colored lights? White. Manufactured color doesn’t go over too well with me. I prefer natural color.
17. Favorite Christmas song? Canon in D / Basket Case (see previous blog entry)
18. Can you name all of Santa’s reindeer? I suppose I could. I mean if they developed a bad case of amnesia and really wanted me to. Let’s see. Steve. James. Linda. umm.. Steve 2. Bah. I’ll come back.
19. Traveling or staying home? Staying Home.
20. Angel or star on top of the tree? Seriously. If you don’t start listening to me…..
21. What do you love most about the holidays? Time to relax and enjoy family.
While not all that bad, it does have some language which you should be guarded against if perusing my blog with small children.

Watch and laugh:
and decided rather than delete some of these things I would just publish them here so they can be kept.
he is playing a BASS guitar.
Soulja Boy.. You’ve met your match.
An orchestra. Whose instruments are made of vegetables.
However, am I the only one who couldn’t keep from laughing during the beginning (at around 0:42) ?
