Christmas time is here again...

[Stormbringer]

...O-U-T spells "out". :D

Seriously, that time of the year is here again. And what better way to kick it off than with some great music?

"The First Noel" (http://www.computerhistory.org/exhibits/highlights//1403_inexceldeo.mp3) and "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" (http://www.computerhistory.org/exhibits/highlights//1403_godrestye.mp3)

Along with a really fun snow globe (http://ww10.e-tractions.com/snowglobe/globe.htm)...

So, anybody got anything else wacky and related to the season to share? :)

[raleighcanesfan]

That snowglobe is just messed up! :D

[Stormbringer]

:laugh: Yes, isn't it? :D I can't decide if the snow globe is funnier shaken or not stirred. If you leave the snow globe alone for five minutes, some crazy stuff happens...my personal fave being the girl getting eaten up by the snowman that then explodes. :D

[sandstorm]

I loved the snow globe. Sent it to all my friends!!!!

[murda338]

Crazy music though, played em both at the same time for kicks... was quite noisey

[Kapanen024]

LoL... that snowglobe is great :laugh:

[Kapanen024]

Also... for any fellow Tales From The Crypt fans out there or anyone with a slightly off sense of humor, here's one of my favorite holiday CDs that I finally get to pull out now that the first snowfall has happened in PA!

[raleighcanesfan]

Hey Kap024--

We just headed home in the snow from Saturday. My folks and sis had about 4 inches, then coming down Pleasantville Mountain on 56 it was treacherous, but it wasn't too bad. I miss that.

Another question for you--I was watching WJAC waiting for Suzy Snowflake, Hardrock Cocoa and Joe, or the Chinese Frosty cartoons, but didn't see them. Have you seen them yet this year?

[Kapanen024]

No!! Actually, I haven't seen any yet. :cry: They should start playing them pretty soon. Monday was December 1st... officially the month of Christmas now. They should be starting soon. I'll keep ya updated :)

[raleighcanesfan]

FYI for those underprivledged (major sp problem there)--

these three (with one for peter cottontail at easter) were these cartoon shorts from the 50s (I believe). They are about the length of a commercial that a tv station in Johnstown, PA has sole rights over. People call in from all over the world wanting copies of them. No big deal if you never saw them, but many people (myself included) have fond memories of them growing up. Sometimes the website (wjactv.com) has them on, but they haven't put them on yet. Definitely something to check out!

[Stormbringer]

Crazy music though, played em both at the same time for kicks... was quite noisey

That music was done by an IBM printer in 1970. If you had the printer print certain letters and numbers together, it could generate songs. Two college students went into a computer lab one night, and recorded the printer doing the songs I linked to plus three others...

http://www.computerhistory.org/exhibits/highlights/

One could argue that that was a precursor to techno and industrial. :D

Anyway, here's some more fun Christmas stuff...

http://www.snopes.com/holidays/christmas/

PG-13 warning...lots of myths, facts, and stories about the season.

Of course, you all know about grandma getting run over by a reindeer...

http://www.roanoke.com/roatimes/news/story159175.html

But what about a drunk elk?

http://pub.tv2.no/nettavisen/english/article159629.ece

[Stormbringer]

Knowing quite a few here, I think this idea for a Christmas tree would go over fantastic... :D

http://www.wjla.com/news/stories/1203/112552.html

Christmas music as torture? Hmmmm... :evil:

http://www.heraldsun.news.com.au/common/story_page/0,5478,8054490%255E663,00.html

[raleighcanesfan]

Wooo-hoooo...Another of my Northern favorites is online!! For those of you from up North, you no doubt saw the Eat-N-Park Christmas tree commerical growing up. They have it to watch on their website:
http://eatnpark.com/whatsnew/Commercials/star-h.htm

This is the best!! They play this on the Jumbotron at Pens games too (they're a sponsor)

[Stormbringer]

Awwww...now that's a cute ad. :) I know we don't and probably will never have an Eat-N-Park around here in the Triangle, but why can't we have good Christmas ads like that one? Easily one of the best ones I've seen...thanks for sharing RCF. :)

The following may not be as cute, but it's some danged funny stuff...

http://www.miserablemelodies.com/cgi-bin/cgiwrap/miserabl/list.cgi?holiday

Especially check out the Reggae version of "Twelve Days of Christmas", the Portsmouth Sinfonia selections, and the San Francisco 49ers (Yes, the NFL team) selections. :D

[raleighcanesfan]

That Eat-N-Park commercial is at least 15 years old too...I agree with you Stormbringer...at times, the places around here really don't give off a sense of community. Eat-N-Park (and Sheetz--another famous establishment) do so much for the community. Christmas fundraisers, etc. Eat-N-Park had a set of glasses for Lemieux showing 5 or 6 different milestones. We don't have that down here, short of Hardee's bobbleheads. I really thought they would follow that up with something this year. Oh well...



The reggae got me struttin!

[tommy]

Did someone say Eat-N-Park? GOTTA love the smiley face cookies!!!

[raleighcanesfan]

Tommy...

YOU A NORTHERN BOY???

Brought home some Smilley Christmas trees this past T-giving. It's all about the Smileys and coffee!! And stick buns. And chicken fiesta sandwich. And gravy fries...

Damn straight!

[raleighcanesfan]

Well then I apologize if we've ever crossed paths. Us Northern transplants gotta stick together!

To keep this on topic--

Anyone ever see the old Lazarus building's Christmas tree wrapped around it in Downtown PGH? It really wasn't a tree, but looked like one as they wrapped lights around the entire corner of the building. I think they still do it...I'll check in a few weeks.

[Stormbringer]

Anyone ever see the old Lazarus building's Christmas tree wrapped around it in Downtown PGH? It really wasn't a tree, but looked like one as they wrapped lights around the entire corner of the building. I think they still do it...I'll check in a few weeks.

Unfortunately, I've never seen that because I have yet to visit Steeltown. But, there is a tree I have fond memories of seeing when I was little. Outside of Raleigh and Wake Forest, on Falls of the Neuse Road, there was a HUGE Christmas tree with a big Santa Claus on top. Its location was/is across from Wakefield High and Middle Schools...I say "was/is" because despite cutting down the original tree, the people there still do a similar but smaller Christmas tree.

Anyway, while we're on the subject of Christmas trees, here are some articles by Mr. Barry on what one could put under those... ;)

The Eat-N-Park Christmas tree commercial, Smiley cookies, the Lazarus tree!!! You guys are making me HOMESICK!!! :cry: What about the windows at Kauffmann's? Plus, I think it was Channel 4 that always asked the Pens what they wanted for Christmas. Thanks for the happy memories, guys! That really made me smile today! Only 2 more weeks until that vacation! :D

[Turbulence]

Happy Holidays, all you crazy Caniacs. Hope the new year is happy and prosperous for all.

So....what did everyone get from Santa?
Well, I'm going to Hurricanes-U! Anybody been to it? From what I read, it should be an absolute blast. I also got the Super-Duper Reindeer Pooper, a plastic Reindeer that 'poops' jellybeans out of its arse. That gift is almost as good as 'Canes-U.

[Stormbringer]

Hurricanes U, eh Turby? Nice and too cool...you'll have to let us know how that goes. :)

As for what I got...

Books/Calendars:

The Darwin Awards III
Duh! The Stupid History of the Human Race 2004 Day-By-Day Calendar

Canes Goodies:

Canes CCM coat (An early gift)
Canes 2004 day-by-day and monthly calendars
Canes shower curtain
Canes throw rug (Proudly lying in the center of my bedroom)
Tickets to the 12/18 game against Pittsburgh (Obviously another early gift)

Miscellany:

The Beatles' Abbey Road jigsaw puzzle
Coach penguin keychain
L.L. Bean travel alarm clock/calendar/thermometer
Thing 1 and Thing 2 (From The Cat In the Hat) plushes

Video Games:

Dragon Warrior I and II
Gameboy Advance SP (Platinum)
Pelican kit for safekeeping
Street Fighter Alpha 3
Super Puzzle Fighter 2

:spin:

[caniac369]

My brother got me a slighty outdated set of Russian-style wooden dolls where one opens up to reveal another, then another, etc. The "outdated" part of are the players and their corresponding jersey numbers, captain insignias, etc.:

Wesley #2, w/ Captain insignia
Francis, #21 (no C or A)
Kapanen, #24
Coffey, #77
Kovalenko, #51

Does that sound like the 1999-2000 Roster? :crazy:

[Turbulence]

Was Wes the captain at one point? I didn't know that!

[tommy]

Hmm, I didn't know Wes was a captain either!

Anywho, I didn't get a whole lot of Canes stuff, but cool stuff nonetheless.

I got a Canes 2004 NHL Calendar (not all Canes, it has either Hurricanes or NHL facts/trivia each day.)

new cd/mp3 player
a few CDs (Ben Folds, Pete Yorn were my faves)
Fight Club and Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels on DVD
GTA: Vice City for PC (whoohoo!)
and a few other odds and ends.

Hope EVERYONE had an awesome Christmas, and that you will also have a great New Year!

[Turbulence]

GTA: Vice City for PC (whoohoo!)


I got that too! Have you played it yet? It's a heckuva game...

[Shell]

My Christmas was fantastic, glad to hear everyone else's was as well

Happy Boxing Day to all of our Canadian friends :)

[tommy]

GTA: Vice City for PC (whoohoo!)


I got that too! Have you played it yet? It's a heckuva game...

Yeah, I've played it a bit, and it's soo great! Fun going over the jumps and causing havoc, and the missions are fun (and a few even in the beginning haven't been easy.).

P.S. I also got two of Dan Brown's novels. I've read Angels and Demons, and The Da Vinci Code, and I got Deception Point and Digital Fortress for Christmas. I highly recommend Brown's novels. They are extremely thought provoking (and very well researched... he has TONS of completely factual references to people, places, government, art, and architecture in his books.).

Happy Boxing Day, as well!

[Jeff O Rocks]

I hope you all had a good Christmas...I had too much chocolate and not enough sleep, but hey, what is wrong with that right?? :D ;)

Hope Santa was good to all...he left me a special Canes' present. Looks like he gave us wins for the remainder of the season!! :spin:

[tommy]

I got musicforthemorningafter. My favorite tracks are "Sense", "Strange Condition", "Black", and "EZ". Glad to see another Pete Yorn fan!

[Shell]

Been out of town and away from any computer, yall know how the holidays are, but anyways, away from hockey talk, I will do that in other threads (boy is it sad whats happening tho...*sigh*)......

I just wanted to say I hope all had a very Merry Christmas, and hope ayll have a even better NEW YEAR!!! Dont party too much yall, since I cant but have one for me... :D

[lvscolencanes]

Sorry bout that, saw the thread after I posted.

My dad got that, it was hilarious, hubby thought it was gross, I laughed my arse off...heeehee! :D

[Shell]

No problem Allie, I was just cleaning house :)

[Caniac]

Well I've just gotten back from the land of no internet, ie my parents place...

Thanks to the mods for looking after the place in my absence. :)

I had a wonderful Christmas. Got to see some family I hadn't seen in a long time.

My cousin, who is like a brother to me (we grew up next door to each other and are the same age) was home until the 27th when he would report for duty and be sent to Iraq. He's an infantry soldier, so everyone in the family is all worried about him and all. That was the only sad part of Christmas.

On the good note, I finally got a PS2 of my own. Having lived with people who had one (or more) until recently, I found myself in withdrawal. ;)

I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday and has a great New Year!

Elway, two others, visit troops in Iraq

NFL.com wire reports

CAMP LIBERTY, Iraq -- About 1,000 soldiers at this sprawling western Baghdad base took a break Dec. 14 from the war's day-to-day grind to be entertained by comedian Robin Williams, former NFL quarterback John Elway and sportscaster and model Leeann Tweeden.

The three stars landed in Baghdad along with Gen. Richard Myers, chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff, in military helicopters for a visit to boost troop morale during the holiday season.

The VIPs were greeted with deafening cheers from soldiers representing units including the 1st Cavalry Division based in Fort Hood, Texas, the 256th Brigade of the Louisiana National Guard, and the 2nd Brigade of the 10th Mountain Division out of Fort Drum, N.Y.

"I know we in America wouldn't have the life we have if it wasn't for people like you," said Tweeden, who visited Baghdad last year with Williams for a pre-Christmas event organized by the United Service Organizations (USO).

Former Denver Broncos great Elway said he thought twice about making the Baghdad trip, considering the worsening security situation.

"But once my kids told me that it'd be a great idea, I knew it was the right thing," he said before showing off his trademark quarterback skills by tossing several balls into a crowd of clambering soldiers.

"I'm not funny, I'm not pretty, but I can sure throw a ball," he said.

Williams was gang-tackled into autographing dozens of photos of himself, posing for pictures and displaying his rapid-fire humor.

The USO is a nonprofit charity organization established before World War II to boost morale, provide welfare and deliver recreational services for American troops.

That;s where we differ then LOL, the first bands mentioned are Way better than what you listen to now ;)

[raleighcanesfan]

Just for Christmas--Mariah and Christina's Christmas CDs.... (-:

I don't think Metallica released a Christmas CD (or I don't want them to!)

Although I do have a disc (I think it's A Very Merry Christmas, Vol 8) that has both DMB and SP with original songs.

I could've done w/o seeing that thread title until after Thanksgiving...ho, ho, Scrooge! :p

[Stormbringer]

Ok ladies and gents...I got into my car this morning, happy it was November 1st. Tuned to SUnny 93, and THERE WAS NO 24 HOUR CHRISTMAS MUSIC!! Anyone hear why they're not doing that this year?

I don't know but I'll be devastated and Guyute will be estatic if they don't do it this year :(

And thus lending further to my theory that some people may have realized that October and most of November is too danged early to start Christmas festivities.

What started the theory? Last month, there were not nearly as many Christmas ads as there already were in October of last year and the year before last. The only Christmas ad I saw was for Carnival Cruiselines. At least that's how it has been here in VA/WV...I don't know about Raleigh, outside of Sunny not doing their big music thang.

[Shell]

I agree in theory. I don't want to see Christmas decorations or sales or trees or anything until after Thanksgiving, but christmas music is just so much fun!

Most of the Wal Marts up here started putting out the Christmas crap last week. Yeah, BEFORE Halloween was even over yet!

*smack* I supposed I've been so relieved at how there has been less Christmas music and ads than usual that I forgot about how the Wal-Mart, Kroger, and Lowe's here have started up the Christmas stuff at least two weeks before Halloween. Lowe's, believe it or not, is the worst...they haven't started the music in their store yet, but you can sure hear the Christmas decoration stuff jingling and jangling throughout...I feel sorry for the employees there. :crazy:

Edit: Figures...we start talking about this, and I see the second Christmas ad of the season: One for Wal-Mart featuring Garth Brooks having a blast with Santa.

[goalie33]

Some of my favorite not-so-traditional Christmas songs are:

"Christmastime" by Smashing Pumpkins
"Christmas in Hollis" by Run-DMC
"Santa Claus is Coming to Town" by Frank Sinatra and Cyndi Lauper
"Christmas Celebration" and "Christmas Song" by Weezer
"Father Christmas" by The Kinks
"Christmas at the Zoo" by Flaming Lips
"Merry Christmas (I Don't Want to Fight Tonight)" by Ramones
"R2-D2 We Wish You a Merry Christmas" from a Star Wars Christmas
"Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)" by Darlene Love
"Lonely Christmas Eve" by Ben Folds (written from the POV of the Grinch, high quality)

I'm also a huge fan of "The Ventures Christmas Album", where each surf guitar Christmas song opens with a secular pop hit intro (ex. "Frosty the Snowman" uses the intro from "Tequila").

Just for Christmas--Mariah Christmas CDs.... (-:



I love Mariah's "All I Want For Christmas Is You"... one of my favorite songs.. it makes me feel happy!! :spin:

My goal with my playlist is simple...to try to have a bunch of different (I.E. you don't hear it that often) songs, with a few you do hear often thrown in for good measure.

I'll have to look into the Smashing Pumpkins, Weezer, Flaming Lips, and Ben Folds songs...they'd make interesting additions. :) Also can't believe I have yet to include the Ramones' song.

[Canesluver]

I hate Christmas.

[Stormbringer]

I hate Christmas.

Santa and his Reindeer Band:

Be sure to click on each reindeer for the desired effect!

:D

Hypocrite. :p :beatup: ;)

[Canesluver]

I just hate all the SPEND, SPEND, SPEND - the malls already decorated for Christmas when it isn't even Thanksgiving, yet - all the catalogs jamming up my mailbox at home -

I just hate the commercial aspect of it all, and feeling OBLIGATED to be all Ho, Ho, Ho, and everything..... And there's family members I feel obligated to give something to--but I have no idea-- so I end up with a gift card. And actually, my brother and I decided a couple years ago to not give anything to each other, since we were each just exchanging gift cards to the same places! What a relief!

If I could limit gifts to just my husband, and close friends, it wouldn't be so bad. It's just family that annoys me, 'cause I just don't know what they'd want, and frankly I'd rather spend the money on refurbishing my house.

I haven't even wanted to put up Christmas decorations in 4 or 5 years. Guess I'm just a Scrooge. ;)

[Guyute]

maybe we should do a Scrooge party. you can come over and we'll NOT decorate. ;)

I agree with you on pretty much all of what you said though. Every couple of years I have an easy Christmas, where everyone in my family has something they've been wanting, and I get to get it for them. every other year though blows chunks... trying to find a really good gift is such a drain. not to mention I'm usually paying off Christmas into February... which is when Shell's bday And Valentine's day hits...

good lord, make it stop!!!!!!

[Stormbringer]

All kidding aside, I understand where you two are coming from...buying for Christmas is going to be fun this year. Especially with my trying to land a new Canes jersey before January 28th. AND, I certainly did not need an e-mail from NHL.com about there being free shipping during this month...especially after recently discovering some prints in their Canes art section I would love to get as a belated birthday gift to myself.

I hate temptation. http://www.electrichyena.com/other/veryeek.gif

[NHLCanes]

I must be a Scrooge too. Sounds like I'm in good company!

My aunt doesn't want to exchange gifts this year, and my mom and I have also decided to not exchange either. Nobody knows what anybody else wants, so we also end up doing the dueling gift cards. I don't know what to tell people when they ask me what I want anyway - I really don't want anybody buying me clothes and while I always want books, I don't always know which ones until I get to the bookstore. And then add in the fact that if I can get them at the library, I don't want to buy them at all, and it makes for a mess for anyone trying to buy me something. My dad just gives out money (always the right size and never has to be returned :D ) - he hates shopping.

So I only have a few people to buy for this year and it is such a relief because I hate shopping too.

As "wholesome" as local channels try to be around here in Bluefield, I cannot believe they allowed National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation to be shown, much to my folks and I's delight. I especially love the part where the Griswolds are getting ready to have the big Christmas feast, and their great aunt says the Pledge of Allegiance for the blessing. :lol: Though, for some weird-a** reason, they cut out the part where the great aunt closes the "blessing" with "PLAY BALL!!". Go figure...

I will never forget when WRDU 106.1 used to play that AND a few other songs/comedy pieces all the time throughout December before and on Christmas. Speaking of 106.1 and Christmas comedy pieces, I'm wondering if someone here remembers the following and could help me with the name of who did it...

106.1 used to (and for all I know, might still) play a local parody of the Harry Simeone Chorale's version of "The Little Drummer Boy". The band doing consisted of at least four or five people...one person doing the "Drum! Drum! Drum!" bass voice, and another two or three being the "choir". There was a fourth/fifth person that did not make themselves known until about two thirds of the way through the "song", when he would start pounding away on his drums like a ten year old who had just been given a HUGE drumset for Christmas, complete with a whistle.

I just wish I knew the name of the group who did that...all I can remember is that it was the Arrogant (no, not the Worms of "Me Like Hockey" fame ;)) something, I think; they were a local act, and that parody was the only thing I ever heard by them.

I got the mail last night when I got home from work, and there was this Priority Mail envelope from my mom.

I opened it up, and inside was a card for me and my husband....along with a check for $400. :eek2:

I think we're going to be paying on some old doctor bills with that.

Good luck, Art! Tell Mickey I said "hey!"

I hope everyone has a great holiday!!

We'll be without outside contact (read: internet connection) tomorrow until Tuesday. Not sure how I'll make it. God, I wish the family would step into the Iron Age. Even have to watch a game Monday night without my usual LGC fix. It better be a good game or I might not make it!

Everyone be safe and have fun!!
