Christmas Link Dump
I have a Christmas tradition of my very own: Every Christmas Eve, at about 11pm, I get the idea that I should watch The League of Gentlemen’s Christmas Special. One hour later, completely sickened, afraid to turn off the lights, I realize I have ruined Christmas for myself yet again. I love these horrible bastards.
A few things:
- In 2008 I made a Christmas link dump of many Christmas specials I enjoy. If you’re not running around doing last minutey things, you could check them out. A Car Talk carol still makes me cry with laughter, the 1951 Christmas Carol is still one of the best movies ever made, and I still think you should watch Hogfather if you have no “Christmas spirit”.
- Tim Minchin’s White Wine in the Sun – Comedic, yet sentimental, Christmas song. Minchin speaks truths and plays piano.
- Holmes Decorates His Chemistry Set – Even Sherlock Holmes can enjoy Christmas. “Mrs. Hudson, don’t you dare take my aspidistra!” Uploader made an amusing Freudian typo in the opening.
- The BBC’s Doctor Who site has many Christmas goodies up, including some short stories. None of which I’ve managed to check out, because I’m too busy with this.
- “Merry Christmas Gabriel. I got you the truth.” – Is a line I hope to find a way to use at least once tomorrow. There’s also a seasonal PATV episode.
- And finally, if you have any last minute shopping to do, check out the Humble Bundle. A pay-what-you-want bundle of indie games to benefit the EFF and Child’s Play. If you pay more than $7.73 you also get some additional games, including one of my favorites, Aquaria.
Merry Christmas and other applicable winter holidays all! And don’t forget to leave beer for loli Santa.

And the Fetish of the Day Is…
…TF or transformation. This artistic rendering shows a women transforming into what I believe is a glass of beer, awesome, I can see why people are interested in this.
Encyclopedia Dramatica describes TF as “a fetish that is like Marijuana or Alcohol, it is a gateway fetish for people on the internet, as there are a lot of people who are into Watersports, Bondage, Rubber, Latex, etc that are ALSO into TF.” So, you’ve been warned.
