MANDATORY HOLIDAY SPIRIT IN NORFOLK, VIRGINIA

carols.jpg

Could they have picked a more obnoxious character than a little drummer boy to memorialize in song? I suppose we should be grateful they didn't have a Little Children's Bagpipe Band show up at the Nativity. Or Little ADD Kid With A Flutophone. Do I need to add Bah Humbug here? Cause that's what this concentration-camp speaker shit is bringing me to.

    Yeah this pretty much sums it up. Every December, the good officials of the City of Norfolk wire up the concentration camp-style speakers and blare Christmas carols all day long. I have always fantasized about finding where that music...

Yeah I hate it too. Every year I fantasize about finding wherever the music is headquartered and replacing the xmas CD with Black Flag.

Pushed one of my buttons here, Sparky
I love Christmas -- the music, the decorations, and reasonble gift giving -- but, yes, I march to a different drummer boy and I hate the assault of Christmas music which is supposed to make me cheerfully spend more money! Aaack! The thought of a kid with a flutophone gives me the willies . . . really bad audio-visual.

I'm telling you, Sparky, you start hanging around at Centerville Turnpike and you'll be hearing this stuff in your sleep.

Don't you worry, Doc, that was a one-shot thing. And Amber, you find that address and I'll help you. Glad to spread some Christmas cheer your way, Annette.

This would make a good alternative Xmas card.

I was going to ask the same thing -- does Wally Mart sell Christmas cards?

Oh, NOW you tell me. It's too late now! Thanks a whole lot! Sheesh.

Dude. That's the one song I really do like. Maybe because it's the only one I can sing in tune. :)
