Watched about half so far.
It sucks. It's just ... really not funny. I did kinda half chuckle one time so far.
I honestly don't understand how James Franco became a movie star. I don't like most actors as people but I can recognize their talent and see how they made it in acting.
Really don't get the Franco thing.

That reminds me of Dimebag Darrell's house in a town called, I'm not joking, Dallworthington Gardens. Before he was murdered, he used to spell Pantera out in lights on his roof every Christmas. Hell, they may have been there year round and they just plugged them in on Christmas. Who knows.

My favorite group for Christmas Carols:
Maddy Prior and the Carnival Band
Here's a good sampler of their carols and Christmas songs:
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?
list=PLjWRmBcuQu5lmchIpLBpUla40FQzLn-rE
Maddy Prior is or was part of Steeleye Span, an English group who did great versions of Olde English music in the rock idiom.
Here's an example of Steeleye Span(though not a Christmas carol):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eRZ_Va4niUs
They too, are well worth seeking out.
With the Carnival Band, she tends more to the Olde English style.
Beautiful voice and spot on music. Some of these songs you may never have heard before.
But they're liable to become your favorites.

I went to college in VT which had a drinking age of 18, but I wasn't a very big drinker. A few overindulgences, but not much.
The worst hangover I ever had was in Belgium where I was giving some lectures. The farewell dinner from my hosts (who were teh awesome) included basically every type of booze imaginable, from champagne to liqueurs to wines to beer. I drunk-dialed my husband (somehow -- I still don't know how I did that) who was back in the states. A few hours later I wound up on the "fast train" from Belgium to London where I was meeting w/ collaborators. Stupidly got into the smoking car. I was completely green by the time I got to London. Sick as a dog.

Son of Crank is home, still ill but doing much better.
Alas, Mrs. Crank today has developed full-blown flu as well. Good thing she sleeps with a doctor and could get a prescription for Tamiflu filled at 10 pm on Christmas Eve. My b-i-l already had flu this year, so I'm the last one standing and can not afford to get it. We had to cancel Christmas dinner, we had several friends coming over for it, but we'd be terrible hosts to inflict this upon them. Also have to miss the candlelight Christmas Eve service too.

THANK GOD! Actually, let me be more to the point.
Heavenly Father, thank you for the gift of your Son, Christ Jesus. Who you sent to us to BE us, to take our place on the cross, to suffer the punishment for our sins.
And, bearing that sin, to receive your forgiveness, that you raise him from the pit of death itself, and seat Him at the right hand of your throne.
And Lord, that I receive in Him, your salvation, that I confess that Jesus IS MY LORD, and MY SAVIOR. I am cleansed by his blood, and raised to sit at His right hand.
Not by any works of my own. But by His Love, Grace and Forgiveness alone.
In Him, I am Born Again, and this Christmas reminds me, not only of His birth, but of my new birth, and life everlasting.
Truly, He is the Way, the Truth, and the Light. No man comes to the Father, but by Him.
Merry CHRIST mas, Horde. From your seafaring sinner,
Jim

To be honest, I love mine. Nicer to unload (especially), never gets out of balance, cleans fine, and doesn't smell. I just keep the door open for the hour or so that the clothes are in the dryer.
The only thing I've noticed is that lint that used to turn into little balls in the top load washer doesn't do that with the front loader. But it usually comes out in the dryer's link trap. But a few of Mr's socks for some reason retain the lint. Something about the fabric and the agitation.
I haven't stacked mine, but they are stackable, too, which is another nice feature.

When the first poor guinea pig died John gave Bob Cratchett's speech at the passing of Tiny Tim over the shoebox. I didn't know the kids had forgotten that until today, so I'm glad I told them.

Wife sent me out today to buy stocking stuff for Little. I went to Five Below, cuz Wally World was jammed (Five Below too, but they were driving that checkout line like they were cowboys on the last leg to Kansas City.)
I spent $115.
One hundred and fifteen dollars at Five Below. Now I have 5 bags full of little shit to wrap. Five. Bags.
We're going to need a bigger stocking.

Have to admit that I've told my (white) 15 year old Son pretty much the same. I'm not *terribly* worried about him getting into such a situation, but he's starting to get in a bad habit of speaking disrespectfully to me and that will not be good if he has to deal with others in authority (even if he isn't trying to be particularly obnoxious).

Not that I had anything to hand anyway but I've got the tube pins halfway into the tight grooves of the tube socket so I can't do anything about it. I decide to ignore it until I can put some traps out for overnight.
Then at 9:45 when heading from the TV section of the basement to go upstairs I see the chubby little S.O.B. under the old dining-room table in the basement. I move from side to side observing it and can't tell if it's moving its head following my movements or if it's just lying there. (Dead or asleep?) I go upstairs and get into my shoes (still in my bare feet) put on a pair of rubber gloves and grab a broom and go downstairs (it's still under the table) and get a bucket from the laundry-room.
Sloooowly I turn and approach it. It doesn't move when I tap the broom handle near it and put the bucket down near it. So I know it's dead and I use the broom handle end to push it into the bucket. (Too bad I didn't have a broom-handle Mauser pistol earlier although that might have been a little extreme!) It's grey and chubby so I'm pretty sure it was the same mouse earlier.
I go outside into the mist in my pajamas (it's a reasonable ways above freezing tonight) and toss it over the fence into the schoolyard behind my house.
Back in the house I hear a distinct squeaking noise and then realize that it's not another mouse (or the ghost of the dead one!!1!!!) but is the sound of my bare feet squeaking in my running shoes as I walk.
Using Lysol I sanitize the heck out of the area where the corpse was and I put some raw bleach and then water into the bucket; and also rinse the broom handle tip which with I had used to poke it into the bucket. I still laid out the two traps I had planned on just in case it had family in the area.
Rigor mortis had begun to set in but I don't think it had been dead that long as my aged father had seen it alive in the basement as well around 5:45.
And although I didn't notice any fleas jump off the corpse I hope bubonic plague didn't kill the little bastard although if you don't hear from me any time in the near future, then you'll know what got me.

We limited that even before I moved in with him, because we were afraid that a scam artist could come to the door.

My sister has a scar just below her eye, about an inch and a half long, from the time she tried to surf the ironing board.
When we got to the ER, she told the doc that mommy pushed her. Mommy is lucky that I and dad were there to correct the record.

Same thing happened with us. We were "wrestling" around, and D'oh squeezed my side hard. It ended up hurting pretty bad, so he drove me to a 24 hour clinic near our ATL house. I ended up having a bruised rib.
The young doc working there tried with all his heart to get me to "confess" my husband had physically abused me. I refused, of course. The young doctor was not happy. Scary, scary, scary.

Story. So our church "adopted" quite a few families/kids for Christmas. Church set up a tree with name tags hanging from the tree. You picked the tag/tags you wanted to buy gifts for.
They were struggling a bit getting the tree set up. I walk by about the time they get it plugged in and the lights come on.
So of course, "The lights aren't twinkling, Clark"
No one had any idea what I meant.

I typically have a very hard time coming up with ideas for Thor's Christmas presents, but his stocking is always epic. As are the ones I stuff for everyone else. Yes, I'm bragging.
For several years I stuffed stockings for a homeless couple that slept on the bus bench near our place in SoCal. I'd stay up late late late and make sure they were sleeping when I delivered them. Often wonder what happened to them.
Good night, y'all! Sleep sweet this glorious night!

Replaced the paper capacitors and the dried-out electrolytic capacitors as a matter of course. It had the dread 6X5 rectifier tube which has a bad rep for developing a heater-cathode short and then smoking the power transformer. So I put a pair of diodes and resistors in an old tube base and made a solid-state replacement.
Got it to play, but the sound was very faint. Took out a wrong tube and installed the correct replacement. Much louder, but bad distortion. Replaced the output tube with a different one, distortion gone. Gassy tube, I think. Output tube lacked a cathode bypass capacitor. Added one in, and sound was louder still, and a little "brighter". With the speaker back in the cabinet, it ought to sound great.
Anyway, I got to listen to plenty of Christmas music while tinkering on the old thing.

Thank you! It's fun to do, and an inexpensive hobby. The parts required are cheap. I might have $5 into this one now. It would be more if I had had to go out and buy 2 new tubes, but I have a stash. Been away from it for a while, had to rack my poor brain to remember the resistor color codes.

redux-"The Christmas Spirit" by Ann Weems
The Christmas Spirit is that hope which tenaciously clings to the hearts of the faithful and announces in the face of any Herod the world can produce and all the inn doors slammed in our faces, and all the dark nights of our souls that with God all things are possible and even now unto us a child is born.

First candle-
This first candle we light to remember those we have loved and lost. We pause to remember their name, their face, their voice, the memory that binds us to them in this season.
All: May God's eternal love surround them.
Second candle-The second candle we light is to redeem the pain of loss, the loss of relationships, the loss of jobs, the loss of health. We pause to gather up the pains of the past. We offer it to God, asking that from God''s hands we receive the gift of peace.
All-Refresh, Restore, renew us and lead us into your future/.
Third candle-This third candle we light is to remember ourselves this evening. We pause and remember the pain of the past weeks and months, the disbelief, the anger. the down times, the poignancy of remembering, the hugs and handshakes of family and friends, all those who stood with us. We give thanks for all the support we have known.
All-Let us remember that dawn defeats the darkness.
Fourth speaker-(and if lighting an advent wreath-the pink candle) The fourth candle is to remember our faith and the gift of hope which the Christmas story offers to us. We remember that God who shares our life promises a place and time of no more pain and suffering,
All-Let us remember Christ, who shows us the way, who brings the truth, and who bears the light.
