Bet the area taverns with any kind of Mexicali descent or heritage or even homage this weekend are going to be filled with folks who probably can’t define Cinco De Mayo.
But much in the spirit of everybody’s Irish on St. Patrick’s Day or Polish on Dyngus Day, so all well and good I guess, but I think I might I hide over in this direction.
He wasn’t the messiah, just a very bad boy who won’t clean his room
Perfect for the holiday, Shamus
Merry Christmas, hopefully a few of these purge “Wonderful Christmastime” from your cerebral cortex
and one of my favorites
Obviously, with the weather making its annual return to suck, Canalside isn’t high on many folks places be lists at the moment. It was just me and one other distant whackjob, er, hiker. But the good folks at Canalside.have decorated anyway
Probably looks pretty nice in the.evevning.
Witness the soulfulness of Leon Redbone and the “Broomstick” moment
One of my favorite seasonal offerings
So, we have some snow in December in Buffalo. That certainly is a stop the presses kind of headline ain’t it? I think the first feature reporter to use the phrase “Winter Wonderland” on their broadcast needs to pay me a $1 penalty for trite cliche use.
All the folks who are doey eyed today probably won’t feel that way when it lingers in the spring. Despite the hyperventilating of the tv weatherfolk, it was meh.
As the picture from the Buffalo News shows, no big whoop. It’s not the snow that bothers me, it’s the folks on the road who are all “SNOW!” like it’s never happened, instead of every flippin year, we were just a couple weeks late this year.
So, yeah, it’s winter, in Buffalo, all seasonal, all Courier and Ives and all things wonderous, but it happens every year so keep your eyes on the road.
Here is positive proof that George Lucas had a few too many yesmen working for him before The Empire Strikes Back. Anything with Bea Arthur, Harvey Korman, and Art Carney was kitchy-gold, but this is so bad, but you can’t take your eyes away from it, especially the opening scenes of Wookies at home.
Screams out for mocking.
Just another couple of fun holiday favorites trying to make up for every airing of “Wonderful Christmastime.”
and lest you think, I’m a complete old fart (well, I am, but)
