Just when I think that the stress of Christmas is getting to be too much and that I can't bear the thought of taking one more step forward to the fateful day of rushing and going here and there, I get hope from people like Eddie...
Eddie: Every time Catherine would turn on the microwave, I'd piss my pants and forget who I was for about half an hour.
and of course....
Eddie: I don't know if I oughta go sailin' down no hill with nothin' between the ground and my brains but a piece of government plastic.Clark: Do you really think it matters, Eddie?
Of course, I am fairly certain that about Saturday evening I'll be close to being like Clark when he says....
Clark W. Griswold: Where do you think you're going? Nobody's leaving. Nobody's walking out on this fun, old-fashioned family Christmas. No, no! We're all in this together. This is a full-blown, four-alarm holiday emergency here! We're gonna press on, and we're gonna have the hap, hap, happiest Christmas since Bing Crosby tap-danced with Danny fucking Kaye! And when Santa squeezes his fat white ass down that chimney tonight, he's gonna find the jolliest bunch of assholes this side of the nuthouse!
At least I don't expect to get a holiday boner bonus this year so I'm sure I won't lose it like this guy.....
Clark W. Griswold: Hey! If any of you are looking for any last-minute gift ideas for me, I have one. I'd like Frank Shirley, my boss, right here tonight. I want him brought from his happy holiday slumber over there on Melody Lane with all the other rich people and I want him brought right here, with a big ribbon on his head, and I want to look him straight in the eye and I want to tell him what a cheap, lying, no-good, rotten, four-flushing, low-life, snake-licking, dirt-eating, inbred, overstuffed, ignorant, blood-sucking, dog-kissing, brainless, dickless, hopeless, heartless, fat-ass, bug-eyed, stiff-legged, spotty-lipped, worm-headed sack of monkey shit he is! Hallelujah! Holy Shit!!! Where’s the Tylenol?
You see? I live most of my life through the movie screen. Maybe instead of working today, I can go rent some movies and sit in the conference room with this oversized tin of cheese popcorn! Why do I suddenly feel like Bob Cratchet?
Is anyone out there? Are you working?
Of course I'm working! Just want to take this opportunity, Captain Genuine, to thank you for your great site. Best Christmas wishes to you...and, of course, Peace on Earth.
I'm working. Not pleased about it, but I am working. Also, I'm waiting for people to comment on my site, but everyone in the world is apparently off today!
Snowball coming back at you. Oh, and I have to get one in, if you won in 1974, well that was the year I was born. tee hee.
I am not workign today but getting some last minute stuff and keepingout of the cleanign lady's way...and wrapping all that last minute stuff!
Not working, but have to clean the house because my stepchildren 17 & 16 are coming in from Utah in a couple of hours.
The 17 loves me, the feelings mutal, the girl doesn't. It will a fun couple of hours till her dad gets home.
Merry Christmas, to your and Yours.
That movie gets me every time. I try to turn the channel but the remote freezes in my hand! lol
I'm not at 'work' but have 2 boys bouncing off the walls here. Trade ya?
Of course I am working! I love my job! Sitting here with my cup of coffee in front of the computer in my jammies still. Ahh the life of a housewife. Sure my job will get busy when we finally get kids but I am loving it for now. Though it can be a bit boring.
:P
Opps is that considered rubbing it in? Sorry.
Working from home. Which means the laundry is sitting here glaring at me insisting that I can do that too in my spare moments (instead of, say, surfing blogs.)
Oh, and did I mention that both kids are home? Wrestling? (I predict imminent bloodshed.)
Be grateful that - if you have to work today - you can do so from a nice serene office!
I didn't work on Christmas - if you consider wrapping, decorating, trimming, cooking, cleaning, hiding presents, lying about Santa's schedule, and drinking laced eggnog not working, that is.
Here's a movie quote for you - see if you can identify the movie:
"I think I'll go home, seal all the windows and turn on the gas."
Hint: Comedy in the 1980s
