My Christmas Top 40

My childhood Christmas memories consist of baking candy cane cookies with my mom, trying to find hidden Christmas presents, and these three album covers: When I listen to these albums (well, CD’s now), I still remember sprinkling the crushed candy cane and sugar mixture over the candy cane cookies when they were fresh from the oven. My Christmas music collection has grown over the years to include nearly 200 artists singing everything from Silent Night to I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas.

Holiday Gift Guide For The Rest Of Us 2008

I have been inspired by many gift guides seen all over the net. I was particularly impressed by Newsarama’s gift guide, which explained to people that comic fans should get their friends copies of Iron Man, because that was a comic book movie people might have heard of, and The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay, because your friends might actually forget for five seconds that you love comic books if you don’t give them a comic-themed gift every single time. (Alternately, the gift guide mi

The Evolution Of Karaoke Music Songs - Chart Toppers

The Evolution Of Karaoke Music Songs - Chart Toppers By Ian Carter | November 29, 2008 by Ian Carter So karaoke songs are just like any other songs right? Well yes and no. They have the same tunes but they are not by the same artists. Karaoke music is never performed by the same artists that prepared it for the vocalists. That’s why you will notice a big difference in the same music being offered by different Karaoke disc jockeys. It all depends on which label they buy. You can find alm

Holy Batastrophe Batman! Bruce Wayne To Retire?

After nearly 70 years of protecting Gotham City against all sorts of colorful, deformed and wonderfully themed villains, pretty boy Bruce Wayne has had enough! Quitter von Wussenstein’s reasons aren’t clear at this point, but writer Grant Morrison told Comic Book Resources (CBR), “This is the end of Bruce Wayne as Batman.” There’s a lot of debate going on in comic book shops around the globe, and we would like to offer our own theories as to what will happen to Bruised Whine.

Bryan Zepp Jamieson: Hit or Myth

Hit or Myth How Holman, Junior wants to reinvent the financial crisis! © Bryan Zepp Jamieson http://zeppcommentaries.com/11/27/2008 You can always count on right wingers to invent myths. As long as outfits like Murdoch’s Wall Street Journal and Faux News are pumping out their propaganda, I’ll never lack for material to write about. Take, for example, this gem from the WSJ: “Obama Hears a Giant Sucking Sound”. The piece was written by one Holman W. Jenkins, Jr. Just the name tells you that

My English Thanksgiving

VE and I have agreed to swop blogs for the holiday post. You can find him over at mine, where he’s probably drinking all the beer & putting his feet up on the mantelpiece. Fair nuff. Americans have many holidays in which thanks is given to one group or another. It could be veterans, individuals, some situations in general or just for the fact that you don’t live elsewhere. Being English, we don’t celebrate Thanksgiving. No disrespect. We do have All Scrote’s Day, on which we remember peop
