It's that time again

Hi all,

First of all, Happy Christmas

A nice English version of Abbots Bromley (if you don't get too distracted by the jets flying over every few seconds)

And now, for something completely different...

He sings it. (Joseph Spence)

And they sing it too:

And better thoughts

And for your holiday viewing pleasure:

The Beverly Hillbillies
Howdy Doody
The Addams Family
All in the Family
The Honeymooners
The Brady Bunch
Three's Company
Davey and Goliath
Dick Van Dyke and Rose Marie shill cigarettes for the holidays
The Munsters in the Macy's Christmas Parade

More FMU irreverence here and here

Cheers,

John L

Nader doc on Independent Lens

Good point. Nader wasn't enough of a factor to be allowed in the
debates but he gets blamed for being THE factor in Gore losing to
Bush.

FL was lost by 537 votes. EVERY INDEPENDENT PARTY CANDIDATE HAD MORE
VOTES THAN THAT in FL but Nader gets blamed.

Disgusting or delicious?

I love ice tea. Drink it all year long. I love egg nog. I wish it was
available longer than it is (roughly Thanksgiving to New Year's). I
love Thai Ice Tea. I have only had it in restaurants; haven't seen
any mix in the stores.

I have discovered that if you pour ice tea into some eggnog, it sort
of tastes and looks like Thai Ice Tea. Some eggnogs are spicy which
ends up making it a spice tea which I don't like but so far it's been
bearable.

What do you think?

HD on PBS

My local PBS stations now have HD for the News Hour. I'm getting some
bowing with standard definition pictures within the HD picture but a
more noticeable effect is that a HD picture will make EVERYTHING look
smaller when viewed on a standard definition set.

This will take some getting used to. I'll have to wear my glasses
more until I get HD (at least a 16:9 screen set).

(I watch via DirecTV)

The bowing, it turns out, is only my set. My video capture device, an EyeTV 250 Plus,
does not show that. That is good to know.
