hansolo77 Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 I don't eat fruit cake. Allergic to eggs, allergic to nuts, hate the burn of whiskey. Will never make that. Sounds funny though, I'm a bit of a loser at bringing something fun like this to an immediate halt with realism. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tthurman Posted December 8, 2016 Author Share Posted December 8, 2016 It's all good. The holidays are a strange mix of incredible stress, financial strain, and finally "a bottle of your favorite whiskey of the finest quality". Just trying to have a little fun with it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mizer scenes are perhaps the best of any Christmas Special, equaled only by Hermey the Dentist, and the island of the misfit toys from Rudolf the Red-Nosed Reindeer Here, relive some childhood. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hansolo77 Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 Thanks @tthurman I'll probably watch it tonight. Honestly, when I'm feeling like watching Christmas type movies/specials, I typically watch the same things. A little Frosty, Rudolf, Charlie Brown, and Garfield. Then I'll say "enough of this crap" and throw in some Die Hard 1 and 2. Then I'll come back a little bit and watch some Home Alone 1 and 2. Then maybe throw in an Earnest Saves Christmas. When I was a kid, we had a CARTOON tape (VHS) my dad made with a bunch of Disney toons recorded off of the (pre-commercialized) Disney Channel. Then we made a CHRISTMAS tape with the same stuff (toons/specials). We had shows on there I've never seen re-aired. (Yes, he had a copy of the Star Was Christmas Special he taped live! and no we can't watch it anymore or digitize it). There were some things with a donkey who carried Mary to the Manger (I think his name was Nesser?), some kind of stop-motion that showed Santa when he was thin, and another stop-motion that had a bunch of weird holiday type characters in it (I only remember a wizard looking guy with a long pointy hat that was in all black or dark blue and blew snow like jack frost or something). We even had the "Claymation Christmas". Oh and some Grinch for good measure. We just missed taping the Mizer guys, and just usually watched the tape instead of live tv to break the commercials. Now in the days of digital, and thanks to the fire, I've lost the ability to watch our old toon tapes. Destroyed with 98% of everything else. It was really fun too because when we got to the Garfield special, Dad forgot to cut out the commercials, so it was fun watching them. Because it was Christmas time, I think they had a commercial for the NES, which was awesome because the last time I watched the tape I was in my mid teens and playing on Sega Genesis right before the PlayStation came out. Makes you remember the old days. Like, I found an old MicroCenter ad I got in the mail from a while ago, where they were trying to sell the all-new never before seen Pentium 4 computers for $2k. Now it's like the ARM processors on the Raspberry Pi are even faster, and it only costs $25. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tthurman Posted December 11, 2016 Author Share Posted December 11, 2016 Lot's of good memories there hans I had to run out today for some gift cards, ya know, while the 4x Kroger gas points deal was still going! On the way home I saw an old late 80's panel wagon coming up the on ramp with a 12 foot tree strapped to the roof, complete with a Christmas reef hood ornament, and this sled, bottom burned out and all.... man, somebody had really put some work into this station wagon. I'd love'd to have gotten a picture of it, but I was on I-140 so that didn't happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
