Christmas Horror

Before running to the theater to see Black Christmas, make sure you first rent/buy the original. It's one of the scariest movies ever made that no one's ever heard of, winning horror kudos for predating Halloween by 4 years. Featuring the future Louis Lane and Hollywood street wanderer Margot Kidder really stretching her acting wings by playing a drunk. Also featuring the most disgusting and disturbing phone harrassment until Bill O'Reilly discussed "family values" with one of his employees.

Interesting trivia: the director went on to direct A Christmas Story, Porky's, and the Truly Scariest Fucked-up Run Screaming From The Theater Movie Of All Time: Baby Geniuses.

The oil dropper thingy is also available from my former place of employment, Kitchenworks. It's cheaper than Amazon until you add shipping; then it's about the same. So you can either support our future capitlalist overlords or my former co-workers.

Also available is this fine junior Pygmy baseball bat, featured on the funniest AB episode ever.

Stop randomly segregating your parents' DNA in the name of the law!

The Onion reports good news Kansas. I wish they'd pass a similar law here in Alabama. I don't want no Gawd-damn gay hippie owls or dolphins or shit evolutinating with their devlish naturnal selectification in my back yard, no sir!

Worth it for the refrigerator magnets alone.

A rather well-written little essay

University of Alabama Football Report: University of Alabama Football Report for Thanksgiving 06:

"The devil has a name, and he has a price. Someone in Tuscaloosa should visit him in Columbia and ask him what it is."

Weird. Perhaps national sports writers are correct about the "rabid fans" thing.

Let the paleo-brouhaha begin

RedOrbit: Study Finds that a Single Impact Killed the Dinosaurs:

"Data supports the single-impact theory in a controversial discussion

COLUMBIA, Mo. – The dinosaurs, along with the majority of all other animal species on Earth, went extinct approximately 65 million years ago. Some scientists have said that the impact of a large meteorite in the Yucatan Peninsula, in what is today Mexico, caused the mass extinction, while others argue that there must have been additional meteorite impacts or other stresses around the same time.

A new study provides compelling evidence that 'one and only one impact' caused the mass extinction, according to a University of Missouri-Columbia researcher.

'The samples we found strongly support the single impact hypothesis,' said Ken MacLeod, associate professor of geological sciences at MU and lead investigator of the study."
