It's The Most Wonderful Time....

um.... yeah.

But really, I LOVE Xmas.  I loved it as a kid.  I love it as an adult.
(well... not enough to have any of those).

And I love it right into New Year's morning... when I'll be recovering with one of these.

Everyone - Merry Christmas from the "The Chairman".

(thanks Ms. Lake for the plethora of links)

"... Make the Yuletide geigh.
From now on all our troubles
Will be far away."

Merry Christmas, y'all!!

Mayan Madness

Though this big blue ball may come to an end next week, the only other date that you need to know in December (besides Xmas) is the 12th - because it's this guy's birthday. (that's a pretty lengthy entry!)

If you're not sure what to get the Whiskey fans on your Xmas list, let me be of some assistance.

"I'm gonna sue Jack Daniels for
Hitting me with a trunk of a big ol' live oak tree
He hurt me this morning with the bright sun light
I'm gonna sue Jack Daniels for what he did to my face last night!"

Ratified!!

Just remembering December 5, 1933.  A different day that will live on in infamy.  Thank you FDR.

And just in time for the booze hounds on your Xmas list - The Advent Calendar

 "I live my life on a layer of ice
Just like those poured by my bartender 'Vice'
Any taste of Vermouth should be really sublime
When you have a good Martini time!"

Beer Goggles

What's not to like about beer?

You've got your beer facts and your beer fanatics.
(and I apologize for any advertising preceding - also, Fatboy Slim was a one-time House Martin member)

I also recently discovered that Lagaunitas Brewing has little stories on the bottom of a case box.  Mine was "Beer Noir".

"Quietly here I'll sleep.
I won't even make a peep.
You won't even know I'm here.
Just letting you know that we're out of beer.
Couch surfin'!!"

Various and Sundry

Found these lying around:

Fred & Barney shilling for Busch™

And  Some eCards for your health.

"I been drinkin' and smokin' cigarettes
I been lookin' for a woman I have not met
I have not found her yet
Till I do it's a sure-fire bet
I'll be drinkin' and smokin' cigarettes!!"

Vote for Pedro

Like pretty much everyone else on the planet, I'm totally glad that this YEAR of presidential campaigning, posturing, deceptio and fabricatio is over.  I hope that everyone got out and voted, even if your candidate didn't win.  At any rate, it was fun (for me) to watch FOX™ have a meltdown on-air.

Even though it is post-electio , I still give you the "Politics of Drinking".  Absolute?  What year is this?  1985?  I must be so far to the left that Beefeater™ is off the chart.

And as it was the "Year of the Woman" in politics (thank you for that), I just have to wonder.... what's up with this?

"Sure got high in Dallas
Said 'Hello Mr. Floor',
Good morning Mississippi
I ain't drinkin' no more."

Follow Up

It's always a good thing to circle back to see how a few favorites are doing.

This guy needs to step it up.
(commendable, though)

While with these folks, it's an average day.

"It's hard to beleive I've gone and done it again
Went to a place to see all of my friends
One little sip and now look at me
If this bar were school I'd have a degree"

Breaking Bad

(from the files of Ms. Lake - and she apparently has binders full of them)

5 Strange Hangover Cures.  Apparently there are 45 others, but you're going to have to pay to get them.

And some interactive statistics about some bad habits on the rise.  Thank you, Scientific American!

"Young girls and gin may be the cure,
Young girls and gin may be the cure,
I'm talking just as good as you stay pure,
Young girls and gin may be the cure.
I'm the baddest of the bad
Since you've been gone"
