Saw this sign in the beer and wine section of the local supermarket today and smiled.



Aside from that, here were other exciting highlights from this weekend:

1. Had this whole, "Let's go out tonight!" thing planned for Saturday, but Hasser and I ended up getting sucked into watching the entire third season of Little Britain instead. And now,we'll be talking like Lou and Andy all month long, much to my wife's discomfiture.

2. For the most part, I'm not a very big fan of holiday music and movies. Seriously. But I have found one thing (apart from my robot ornaments) that makes me all warm inside. Emmett Otter's Jug Band Christmas. I've always been obsessed with it as a kid, and this weekend I got the DVD - and watched every single feature on the disc. The making-of video was great, and it makes me hates CGI characters like Jar Jar and Dobby just that much more.

3. Someone mentioned that should check out the USB Snowbot from ThinkGeek. But it just so happens that I featured the snow-cylon a few weeks ago on my "Click on JL" podcast. It afforded me the opportunity to write the following line into WYFF4's 5pm newscast: "It will enforce holiday cheer with it cold robotic gaze."

Stiles is on this big kick to take the Christ out of Christmas by calling it "mas" instead. Coincidentally, mas means more in Spanish, which is a perfect way to describe Christmastime.
