    Daddy, what's an erection lasting more than four hours?

    I USED to love Christmas, back when it started in DECEMBER!

    Now I'm getting nailed with Christmas songs/ads in the stores, on my fav. radio stations, and on tv before Halloween!!

    Because they start so early, drag it out for so long, and the fact to me it isn't Christmas time when it's still 50 degrees outside, I'm sick of Christmas before it even gets here!! I rarely put up a tree anymore, I haven't sent cards in 2 years, and I never decorate the house anymore (actually sold most of the decorations a few years ago).

    My only bright spot I could hear over and over and I hope they never end it...

    I get that one stuck in my head and I love it (although never have nor ever will buy anything from them) lol

    This commercial has been all over the TV. I can't stand it! For radio the commercial tells you to give a lottery ticket to “…the pizza guy who pre-blots your pizza”, “the trainer you totally have a crush on” and the co-worker who turns on your computer when you're running late, so no one will know. In church yesterday our pastor joked about moving Christmas to February. I'd like to move Thanksgiving to when they observe it in Canada, mid-October.

    Brrrr, I've been Frosted! Thank you, Asiel and Pomtzu!

    I think the Hallmark channel has cute commercials, I was watching "A dog named Christmas" yesterday and saw some of the cute commercials. They are not really advertising anything but cards, but the stories they show are sweet.

    The big big "O"????....

    .Lol, somehow I think there is a connection with the son asking dad about that four hour thing..

    We should all be so lucky to look past the 20 minute mark, let alone four hours?

    A man should spend 6 months of his salary for an engagement ring.
    How monumentally lame that a company with a rocking name like that....

    For those who are curious however, the "rule of thumb" - established by the diamond industry - is that men should plan on spending about six months' salary when considering the purchase of diamond engagement rings.

    My gripe is that they bastardize Xmas songs. Someone asks a question and the answer is in the tune of a Xmas song. It's maddening!

    What do Little People do for the rest of the year?

    It seems they only work during the Christmas Season?
