Gentlemen! Gentlemen! To order!

Gentlemen, settle down. Gentlemen, can we not agree? Agree to let McNulty be McNulty?



That is all gentlemen. Adjourned.

Christmas presents

I got some Fat Bastard, new yarn, and all four seasons of The Wire. So I'm gonna knit, watch some fine television, and enjoy a full bodied merlot. I'm pretty happy with this.

Happy and Merry and such

We're nearing Christmas, East Coast time. So I'm gonna get drunk and walk around town listening to "Fairytale of New York." Tomorrow is Christmas tacos.

It was Christmas Eve, babe
In the drunk tank
An old man said to me, wont see another one
And then he sang a song
The rare old mountain dew
I turned my face away
And dreamed about you

Got on a lucky one
Came in eighteen to one
I've got a feeling
This years for me and you
So Happy Christmas
I love you baby
I can see a better time
When all our dreams come true

They've got cars big as bars
They've got rivers of gold
But the wind goes right through you
Its no place for the old
When you first took my hand
On a cold Christmas Eve
You promised me
Broadway was waiting for me

You were handsome
You were pretty
Queen of New York city
When the band finished playing
They howled out for more
Sinatra was swinging,
All the drunks they were singing
We kissed on a corner
Then danced through the night

The boys of the NYPD choir
Were singing Galway Bay
And the bells were ringing out
For Christmas Day

You're a bum
You're a punk
You're an old slut on junk
Lying there almost dead on a drip in that bed
You scumbag, you maggot
You cheap lousy faggot
Happy Christmas your arse
I pray God its our last

I could have been someone
Well so could anyone
You took my dreams from me
When I first found you
I kept them with me babe
I put them with my own
Can't make it all alone
I've built my dreams around you

So this is the new cliche

This is the new cliche, but it is apt. It is apt!
The Weimar era cabaret acts in Berlin was the greatest political satire ever. Boundary pushing: sexually, politically, culturally. Drag queens making fun of fascism while spoofing Wagner. I mean, Bertold Brecht, bitches! But it didn't make a difference. Did it? In fact the absolute opposite happened.
I'm just saying.
