Can we just skip it for 2010?

I was over it before it began. Now the kids have grown up (ya just gotta do it for kids) we pretty much skip it. The missus and I buy prezzies when we feel like it, not when the retail world tells us to and we go and see people anytime. It's all a ginormous commercial scam.

Everyone trying to sell you everything you don't want, then you get given it anyway..

Next time you have a bottle of bourbon in your hand, check the spelling.

Or is it BECAUSE you have a bottle of bourbon in your hand that the spelling is askew?

Check out Death in Santaland (60min doco free download here)

was on TV last week

RTA releases an interesting documentary. This isn’t your typical snowy wonderland fairytale. Jon Ronson travels to North Pole, Alaska, to see what he can find out about a plot by a gang of 13-year-olds to murder their classmates and teachers.
