Happy Christmas all! The cute puppies cheered me up, wow!

Puppies are the best happy thing in the world ever. They should have puppies when they need to talk people down off high buildings.

Puppies are the reason to live.

It's (well, in London anyway) twenty minutes until Christmas. I advise everyone to start looking for their Ramones CDs NOW!!!

(What, it's only me that has to listen to the Ramones on the turn of Christmas? Fuck, you're weird).

And the Hug Me Pluto* is especially joyous. Which I gave to my parents. You know, instead of clothes they don't need I'd rather they have a toy dog that pants, barks and whimpers depending on how you treat the toy dog; ah, it will indubitably bring bless to the children who regularly visit my family.

Merry christmas, lovelies. Especially you.

* = A live one is preferrable but since it can't be done, this is as close as modern tech allows me to get.

Merry X-Men and a Happy New Mutants, everyone!

Oh and for our Britain-based Barbefolks, Carrie just started on channel 4. Wicked.

Ah yes. Merry Christmas one and all. Much love from me to you.

I just watched "A Space Ghost Christmas". Nothing more Christmassy was there ever.

Merry Christmas Barbelith!

(Oh, and happy birthday little baby Jesus. Sorry, I guess everyone probably got you socks, didn't they. I just saw them and thought of you).

Jesus needs socks, Stoatie, just like us all. In fact I myself am currently wearing my 1996 West Ham United 3rd-kit socks for the first time in what seems like an eternity. They so comfy!
 
 
STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK
22:47 / 24.12.05
To be honest, the socks seem a much better idea now I've heard the little tyke utter the words "at least it wasn't fucking frankincense this year. 'Incense owns a deity nigh' my Messianic ass".

Me and Jesus are off down the pub now. To play darts.

Yep, little JC's always needing socks. Those nails play havoc with cashmere.

Stoatie, don't let the little bleeder cheat by talking you into holding him five feet into the air and two feet away from the treble 20 with a twinkle of his eye, like last time.

Fuck, man, the guy can change water into wine. I'm fairly uncompetitive... I'll let him beat me at ANYTHING, if he does the booze trick.

22:53 / 24.12.05
Yeah yeah, but can he polish a turd? Cos then I'll be really impressed.

By the way, I'd forgotten what a wicked movie Carrie is.

(Fuck, right, when Mr Cobain wrote "Heart-Shaped Box" it never occurred to him how fucking difficult it'd be to wrap one up, did it?)

On the plus side, having given away my first present of the year, the recipient did say "fucking hell! That's Joy Division wrapping paper, isn't it?"

On closer inspection, the picture of denuded trees did look somewhat "Atmosphere" video-ish.

This will be my defence when people inevitably tell me their presents were crap. "Yeah, but dude. Joy Division wrapping paper!!! Shut the fuck up and give me booze!"
 
 
STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK
22:57 / 24.12.05
Yeah yeah, but can he polish a turd?

No. He leaves that to Eno.

Brian Eno?

22:58 / 24.12.05
Eno ... dude, I just found out that Brian Eno turned up in the third series of 'Father Ted', playing a character called Father Brian Eno. How the holy heck did I miss that?
 
 
STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK
23:00 / 24.12.05
He was on Any Questions last night too. Eno rules.

Merry Christmas Brian Eno! You lovely bald genius you!

And merry christmas Devo too
 
 
STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK
23:05 / 24.12.05
Yeah. And the Residents.

23:06 / 24.12.05
And all the barbelith rugrats.
 
 
STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK
23:09 / 24.12.05
Yeah, all them too!

Merry Christmas everyone!

Except Bob Geldof.

Because there WILL "be snow in Africa this Christmas-time".

Remember Hemingway's classic novel "the lack of snow on Kilimjaro"? NO!!! Of fucking COURSE not!!!

There WILL, Bob. And I feel I'd be a bit of a git were I to thank God it was them instead of me, as well.

Aww I feel all Christmassy now! Didn't give two shits earlier on, but you guys have changed all that and I thank you with a glass of special reserve cybersherry. Or perhaps you'd prefer a Croft's?
 
 
STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK
23:15 / 24.12.05
Oh, any cyberdrink that contains cyberbooze, thanks.

Unfortunately, I've now got that horrible bells riff from Band Aid stuck in my head. I think I may have to listen to the Ramones' "Merry Christmas (I Don't Wanna Fight Tonight)" again to get rid of it. But, y'know. "Where is Rudolph? Where is Blitzen, baby?" It's about as Christmas as it gets.

That's nothing, mate. I made the mistake of being in a bakery in Ilford yesterday and Sir Paul McCartney MBE's 'we'll be having a wonderful Christmas time' or whatever the bleedin' 'ell it's called came on the radio. I know it wasn't the staff's fault, but I killed them all just in case. Only way to be sure.
 
 
STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK
23:18 / 24.12.05
Actually, no. I've changed my mind on the music front. It HAS to be Coil's "Christmas Is Now Drawing Near" from their Winter Solstice EP. Not only would it be a nice remembrance from myself of Jhonn's death, it has Rose McDowall (who I still have a horrible crush on since Strawberry Switchblade's "Since Yesterday" in 1985) on vocals. I might cry, though.

Comfort me, Barbelith. Or tell me sweary jokes. I'm not really bothered either way.
 
 
STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK
23:19 / 24.12.05
ooooh it's lovely.

I'll make more sense when this track finishes, I promise.
 
 
STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK
23:24 / 24.12.05
It just HAS to be Nick Cave and Shane McGowan doing "What A Wonderful World" now, doesn't it?

Well, seeing as how I can't find my copy of Joey Ramone's version, anyway...
