This is not your father's Boxing Day. But it would be a cracker!
.He's got the suit, the hair and damn the pose down. Don't blame me - blame Samburg and Timberlake.
Now if Jake shows up freshly shaven gotta know it was an attempt at a "funky facial hair, I am a player " look gone bad.
Traditionally Boxing Day would be spent giving gifts to those who are less fortunate, now it's a time to get together with family and friends and celebrate the holidays. There've been some great St. Stephen's Day parties in my neighborhood - lots of fun, food, laughs, singing, and yeah great drinks. And what's a holiday without sport? In Great Britain today is an entire day of football (soccer to the U.S) and to the Aussies cricket and the start of the Sydney to Hobart yacht racing (while you may be having snow Australia is smack dab in the middle of summer). And the Canadians - what are they doing - watching hockey.

Holy shit, Spesh! What a Christmas! Hopefully Boxing Day will be better.
ReplyDeleteWe are having an abbreviated Christmas this morning - so it will all be good.
ReplyDeleteThey must be psychic or something ; ) about my boxing day post. Cause I found a 12" cream filled long john pastry with my name on it in the kitchen. BAHHHH.
Oh my! Talk about a treat. Thanks for playing this wonderful song, so full of life and passion, and yeah, it does remind me of an old European flame. ;)
ReplyDelete^^An old Eastern European flame, sorry. Sigh. :)
ReplyDeleteHey Spesh, if we'd known you were at Dulles yesterday, we could have brought you some food!
ReplyDeleteSorry about your Christmas
ReplyDeleteSpecial.
I'm sure glad that wasn't me, my gf still hasn't forgiven me for not thinking to call before we left the house and our flight turned out to be 2 hours late. :-D
Dear Ted:
ReplyDeleteIs Toothy Tile James Marsden?
—Nikki, Miss.
Dear Marsden Mystery:
Sorry, James is gettin' up there, but he's nowhere near as obsessed over by the paps (and vice versa) as T2.
The Prop 88s! Come Out and Play, Toothy!
ReplyDeleteIt's day six of our Prop 88s—cast your vote for your fave rule that must be obeyed in '09! Should Katie take it off? Should Gisele put it on? Should Toothy Tile really shock us and come clean? Imagine the scandalous thought and vote!
...
56.8%
Toothy Tile must finally come out of the closet. People magazine goes bankrupt.
...
Who's Anon? Who's Anon? Destiny,that you?
ReplyDeleteMan, Special, what a day yesterday. And no Wi Fi?? Aaaggghhh! Good thing that wasn't KCI - what a boring airport that one is, lolll! Aren't airports just one of the most boring places to be stuck at, too. Especially if there isn't a place to even sit.
I'm barely up & at 'em this morning. Officially out of bed @ 09:33. Cripes...But I'm excited - get to go walk today!!
Niece & nephew were dropped off by their Mom & Dad because my brother had to be back at work today. So they are both @ Grandma & Grandpa's, ready to take on their usual rounds whenever they visit: the mall, Chuckie Cheese, McDonald's, Monkey Business (the big indoor playground with all the inflatable gym pieces), and the indoor arcade.
James Marsden. Now there's a great looking guy. I saw a movie that I got from Netflix with him in it, just recently. The 24th Day. It had an abrupt ending. I had no idea he was in so many movies. I thought he was a newbie. Even in Party of Five. I loved that show.
Happy Boxing Day and Austin Friday to all at OMG :)
ReplyDeleteayou're right PG, that was me at anon, I thought I was signed into blogger.
ReplyDeleteHappy Boxing Day.
Happy Boxing Day, London TB & Frenchy. I've seen it listed before on my calendars, but I had not educated myself on it. Now I know!
ReplyDeleteVery interesting menorah....what in the heck is that? Is it metal? It almost looks like leather, lol. Very intriguing & stately looking. I wonder if it is upright, unassisted?
Man, 60 degrees now. I've got to head out for my walk; almost need shorts with temps like that.
"Toothy Tile must finally come out of the closet. People magazine goes bankrupt."
ReplyDeleteStill blowing the others away for which rule should be followed.
If People go bankrupt because of it - what about Flynet - they would need a government bailout.
MK is awesome.
ReplyDeleteWho says you need two nuts to make a baby? Lance Armstrong is going to be a daddy for the fourth time. He told People that his girlfriend Anna Hansen is pregnant with their baby due in June. Lance put together this little statement and released it to the world: "We are very much looking forward to what 2009 brings on many fronts. We appreciate respecting our privacy, as we are both eager to celebrate the holidays as a family."
As you know, Lance is only operating with one ball friend due to testicular cancer, but apparently this baby was made the natural-way. The L.A. Times says this is rare.
Lance's other three kids were conceived through in vitro with frozen sperm pops Lance made before he started chemotherapy.
First of all, Jakey Poo is not smiling at this news. He wanted to be Lance's next baby mama. I bet he even has a crop-shirt that says "Lance Armstrong's Next Baby Mama." Second of all, if I was Lance, I'd have Maury on standby at the birth of his baby. Something in the jizz ain't clean about this shit. Lance may think he has the magic nut, but Anna's vagina could have been dancing with some other spermies.

^^LOL - it's a gift, MK's way with words.
ReplyDeleteSpesh, sorry to hear about your traveling travails.
Chistmas, NYs eve, Valentines, the generals birthday. Me and Wicked were afraid afraid that Jake would propose on Boxing Day But what we dread most is Arbor Day.
ReplyDeleteHi everyone, checking in late. Slept in late, then we had power outage. You certainly selected the appropriate gift for Jake from Austin. I hope he had a good time unwrapping his package. Must say that Justin Timberlake is always a hoot on SNL. He plays the grocery clean up guy on the recent Jizz one and was a riot.
ReplyDeleteTed's toothy needs to come out seems to be leading the votes. Did you all vote for it? I did.
I also think that Toothy should at
ReplyDeleteleast come out of the closet. That
must be terrible having to hide
everything. I am sorry that I have
been so grouchy this Christmas.
What happened on 12/22/03 was that
my mother went to see a friend on
the next street and she fell on the side of the highway and got cut really bad on her head and just about got run over by a car.
One of the ladies where I work
was diagnosed with cancer in April
2008 and it came back all over her
body and they had to put her on life support. She died about 10
days ago leaving behind her husband, 2 daughters, and 2 grand-
children. She was only 48-years-old. So nobody knows how long they
have.
Also, some people carry grudges
for years and cannot forgive so
that it hard too when a person
cannot let go of hatred. That is
bad too. I will hush now and hope
that everyone has a wonderful
holiday season and find some great
bargains!! Happy 2009!!
