It’s Time NOT To Watch Monday Night Football

It’s Monday again. That means it’s time not to watch Monday Night Football. Besides having more Holiday things you need to do it’s gonna be another game where the crappy team (Tampa Bucs 4-9) gets beaten by the mediocre team (Atlanta Falcons 8-5) in a lackluster waste of time.

The Ballad of Jedi Clampett

Come and listen to my story about a man named Jedi
A poor mountaineer, barely kept his family fed,
And then one day he was shootin at some food,
And up through the ground come a bubblin crude.

Oil that is, black gold, Texas tea.

Well the first thing you know ol Jedi’s a millionaire,
The kinfolk said “Jedi move away from there”
Said “Californy is the place you ought to be”
So they loaded up the truck and they moved to Beverly

Hills, that is. Swimmin pools, movie stars.

The Beverly Hillbillies

 

DumpNFL – No Football Here

Yes, it’s another NFL “Football Free” Sunday. There’s still Christmas shopping to do and you still haven’t seen “Star Wars – The Last Jedi” yet. And you still haven’t gotten your work clothes washed because you fell off the wagon, so to speak, and watched some of the crappy pre-Christmas College Football bowls. The Camellia Bowl? Give me a break.

One “Prancer” Short of a Sleigh Ride

The Sun reports on Santa’s Reindeer.

The reindeer which pull Santa’s sleigh are thought to have come from a poem by Clement C. Moore, “A Visit From St Nicholas”.

Alas, poor Prancer. I knew ye well.

It is more commonly known as “The Night Before Christmas”, and includes reference to eight named reindeer.

Originally, the verse which includes the names has them down as: “Now, Dasher! Now, Dancer! Now, Prancer, and Vixen!

“On, Comet! On, Cupid! On, Dunder and Blixem!”

But now-a-days Dunder and Blixem are often referred to Donner and Blitzen.

Although Rudolf is the most famous of the reindeer, he is not one of the core eight first mentioned.
