South Park stuff
Leslie found this...you can create yourself as a South Park character. M and I have been fans since the first episode, ten seasons ago. I'm not going to write a defense of it. Everyone has their opinion by now and I won't change your mind. We like it because it's biting satire and clever as hell. It's so un-PC it feels like home. Here I am in South Park...


Here's M. He picked all the features. Does he remind you of anyone...?



There is a reason I blogged this today. For a few years our tradition was to listen to the South Park Christmas album on the way home from Thanksgiving, wherever it was. Let me tell you...you have never heard "O Holy Night" till you've heard Cartman sing it. My favorites include Mr. Mackey's "Carol of the Bells" and "A Jew on Christmas." One song stands out because it's original and quite un-holidaylike. Regardless, it's been stuck in my head all day. Here it is for your consideration...
(Imagine it sung in folky style)

Dead, Dead, Dead
by Juan Schwartz

Dead, Dead, Dead; Someday you'll be dead
Dead, Dead, Dead; Someday we'll all be dead
The minute we're born we start dying
We die a little more every day
Young or old
Rich or poor
There's nothing we can do to stop it
So look long at that Christmas tree
It may be the last one that you see
Decorate your house in green and red
'Cause someday you'll be dead

Dead, Dead, Dead; Someday you'll be dead
Dead, Dead, Dead; Someday we'll all be dead
It might happen in a couple months
Or 50 years from now
But no matter when it happens
It will seem too soon to you
So be sure on Christmas Eve
When you snuggle into bed
That you thank God for your family
'Cause someday they'll be dead

Dead, Dead, Dead; Someday they'll be dead
Dead, Dead, Dead; Someday we'll all be dead
Ah-ah
Who knows how many Christmases are left in their short life?
Nobody knows, thats my point
Enjoy them while you can
And so on Christmas morning
Let good tidings fill your head
What a festive season
Someday you'll be dead

Dead, Dead, Dead Someday we'll be dead
Dead, Dead, Dead Everyone you know, dead
A Very Merry Christmas to you Dead, Dead, Dead
Merry Christmas Everybody
