It's almost Christmas!! Picked up a prime rib today for the Big Steel Keg smoker treatment on Sunday. Looks good, and there will be pictures.
My very best wishes for all the readers over the holiday and into the New Year. Great readers are what make me continue to work harder all the time. I appreciate it.
Market Observation
Not much to add. Still right where we were yesterday, only a little higher. No where near stopped out on the TZA position I have and will hold into next week.
The Megabucks Christmas
My last two Christmas tales were not meant to be sad. They were just memorable ones that I wrote about. How about a feel good story then?
One year when the Massachusetts Lottery came out with Megabucks, my parents won one of the smaller prizes! I think it was around $3000, which was monster money for our family. I believe it was 1985 but I get years mixed up sometimes. They won in November and I think they blew it all on Christmas presents. It was insane.
I got the biggest Transformer toy ever made, Omega Supreme:
And best of all, I got my first BMX bike, a Columbia Pro Am! I was able to find the exact bike with a picture search in Google:
I had a longer post in mind but no one can compete with Brian Lund's post from today The Greatest Gift I Have Ever Received so check that one out.

Film Clips
Holiday edition!
A classic comedy film that is set around Christmas time is "Better Off Dead". Sorry for the poor quality but you have to see the face squeezing CHRISTMAS part at the end:
A new era holiday classic is "Elf" and here is a great scene:
"You smell like beef and cheese, you don't smell like Santa", LOL
I never saw "It's a Wonderful Life" until high school and I think that was better because it meant all the more by then. Here is the Potter speech:
No equal. Nothing like that Stewart fellow.
Rock Blogging
Some tunes to send you on your way?
Got a request for "Call and Answer" by Barenaked Ladies and I am glad I did. Never heard it before and it's mighty fine:
Amazing tune, love it.
Twisted Sister and "Heavy Metal Christmas":
Ozzy tattoo! Nice!
This is great! Metallica's "Enter Sandman" to Christmas lights!:
Feeling a Pokemon seizure coming on.
On this holiday I would be wrong to not be in the mind of my dear friend, that I miss so much, Soleil. I miss you my friend and I miss all the help you gave me. Wish I could have helped you more. Florence and the Machine with a really nice acoustic version of "The Dog Days are Over":
Miss you.
Back in college a bunch of scientists formed a band. This tune rocks! I have zero music talent but I did help them set up. Who else had a T4 phage picture on the drumset? Man Bites Back and "Ghetto Starlight":
Last song! Grab a girl, a drink, or anything else!
My favorite by far Christmas song is Bob Seger's "Drummer Boy". Just so perfect:
Tear every time.
Have a good night.
Metallica and Christmas lights - never would've put the two together.
ReplyDeleteAnd Better Off Dead is a classic.
Merry Christmas!
I love BNL - Call and Answer is one of my favorite songs of all time!
ReplyDeleteI had that exact same bike when I was 5. It was black with red vs yellow letters.

Love Elf. We've been watched that twice this holiday season.
ReplyDeleteJust so you know, Omega supreme isn't the largest Transformer ever made.
ReplyDeleteFortress Maximus is.
Its such as you learn my mind! You appear to grasp so much approximately this, such as you wrote the e book in it or

a little bit, but other than that, that is great blog.
An excellent read. I will definitely be back.

Unquestionably believe that which you said. Your favorite justification appeared to be
ReplyDeleteon the internet the simplest thing to be aware of.
I say to you, I certainly get annoyed while people think about worries that they
just don't know about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top as well as defined out the whole thing without having side-effects , people could take a signal. Will likely be back to get more. Thanks
