Two - Richard Simmons at Philly International when I was 16. He gave me $20 for a broccoli and cheese stromboli I had (he couldn't wait).
Bill Murray in Austin. I was at a coworker's birthday party at a bar and he snuck behind it and poured tequila shots for every order for a minute or two.

Update - I thought the pecan chorizo was too sweet but with the refrieds and salsa verde, it's perfect. Highly recommend.

Monday night yoga is kind of a game changer (sometimes Tuesday morning lifting is easier, sometimes it isn't but I'm super relaxed right now).

By the way, the trick to Christmas is to buy everything on sale right afterward. I bought the decorations for my interior display yesterday at 50-60% off. Total - $65. And we're gonna have a baller living room next year.

How I’m walking out of 2025

How I’m walking out of 2025
So, Menard's online ordering process is terrible. I ordered some stuff online hoping to go to customer service (upfront) and get it. They made me walk to the back of the store to get it and then walk to the cashier to hand them the slip. WHY? WHAT WAS THE POINT OF THIS?

To be fair, Krampus is Austrian. My mom’s family was from the Rheinland and had Krampus’s nicer, drunker cousin, Belsnickle
When we FaceTimed with my very German (fourth generation AMERICAN) FIL Christmas Eve, he saw a Krampus I made and freaked out because he can’t deal with us being atheists, and now we’re Satanists?
I’ve heard for 36 years how GERMAN he is, but he didn’t know about Krampus.

We really need to do a new adaption for the 2020’s with some tech billionaire and the ghosts bring various technologies. Hollywood, I’m right here. Hire me.

26 December 1976, The Sex Pistols recorded 'God Save The Queen' at Wessex Studios London. The song was released during Queen Elizabeth's Silver Jubilee in 1977. The record's lyrics and the cover were controversial, and both the BBC and the IBA refused to play the song. I loved it. #SexPistols

Hot take: the Muppet Christmas Carol Ghost of Christmas past is the best adaption. But Carol Kane’s Ghost of Christmas Present is the best one

Sarah Palmer is the secret sauce to this show.
Twin Peaks: Sarah Palmer stares wide-eyed in terror. (Frank Silva a member of the film crew can be seen in the mirror. This was unintentional and considered a happy accident. Frank would later go on to play BOB).

Playing soccer with my kid next to the pond at grandma’s. It goes in. I did fish it out. New Christmas memory unlocked but we had fun.

Feel this in my bones.
One Christmas Eve Grandpa made stuffed figs and nobody ate them so Gram brought the tray around and made everyone eat one because “Grandpa worked really hard on them and they were gourmet for goodness sake.” Anyway the chicken, cream cheese and fig jam wraps were not popular. I feel you Grandpa.

Tonight’s movie, everybody’s favorite Christmas flick: EYES WIDE SHUT. According to some conspiracy theories, Kubrick was alluding to Epstein’s, uh, organization and the movie is a toned-down allusion to it. He suddenly died four days after screening it to Warner Brothers executives.

Apparently Alien isn't a Xmas movie so I shouldn't watch it tonight.
I'm sorry but it has surprise unboxing, a group of people forced to spend more time together than they want to, and escaping is the ultimate goal.
Sounds Xmassy to me.
