Bad Santa,

Because few things capture the true spirit of Christmas like Eartha Kitt’s ambitious wish list.

Nothing says "Christmas" quite like a GG Allin 1991 Throbblehead.



Sadly they’re already sold out, so you’ll have to try yr luck on eBay.

On the other hand, Tesco Vee, Dwarves and Milo from The Descendants are still available.

PRODUCTION NOTE: Go here if you need GG Allin explained to you.

I don't agree with the concept that teams should rest players at the end of the season. If you are a well oiled machine on the field, the worst thing you can do is pull your best components and mess up the flow and rhythm of your team.

Happens time and time again.

If the Indianapolis Colts rest players for a significant period of game time over the next couple of weeks, I predict they will fall short of their ultimate goal in this year's NFL season. 

Yr alleged pub-science fact of the day:


Which in turn (and I suck at math, but assuming 8 bits per byte and a total ejaculation time of 15 seconds) works out roughly to a line speed of just over 846 Terabits per second.

Speedy!

On the other hand, given that yr transferring close to 1.6PB of data to a modem that's not only designed to receive a single 37.5MB file, after which it discards every other packet, but also is protected by a multitude of firewalls (which slow down yr transmission time considerably), it’s hardly a bandwidth-efficient solution (compared to, say, Comcast).

But, you know, f*** efficiency.

So to speak.

[Insert "buffer overflow" joke here.]

ITEM [via BoingBoing]: Cities everywhere have been replacing incandescent traffic lights with LED lights, because they use 90% less electricity, last longer and are more durable.

One thing incandescents have that LEDs don’t – excess heat to melt off snow.

Oops!


Which is why Dave Hansen, a traffic engineer with the Green Bay Department of Public Works, offers the following fix: if you can’t see the traffic light, slow the hell down and do what you do when the power’s out. (Unless yr one of those people who figure no light = keep going, in which case don’t do that.)

Red light green light,

Self-explanatory, really. Or not at all. But if yr Christmas experience involves a drunk relative talking yr ear off in an entertaining way, then this should be familiar to you.

...the Iranians shot down a UFO in September...apparently. 

And I feel fine.

This link shows the site that is furthest from a McDonalds in the 48 contiguous United States. It's a spot between Meadow and Glad Valley, South Dakota, referred to as the  McDonald's Pole of Inaccessibility. Sorry, darlin', but I'm not driving 145 miles for Chicken McNuggets. The same blog found the Geographic Pole of Inaccessibility as well. This is the place in the continental U.S. that is furthest from the ocean. It's also in South Dakota. A Red Lobster in Rapid City, South Dakota sits atop the pole. :/ A seafood restaurant is further from the ocean than any other place in the geo U.S. Ironic...don't you think? If it's true...and not all bushwa.

For those of you looking for last-minute shopping suggestions, Team Def revives this limited series with another limited series: the Conway Twitty™ Tribute Pistol.



[Via WFMU, which also has some Twitty MP3s for you]

Yrs for $1,995.00. Layaway is available. There’s only 300 of them, so get ‘em while supplies last.

Also available: the George Jones™ Tribute Rifle.

FUN FACT: I think I met Conway Twitty once. He was at our bowling alley for a tournament or something. Either way, I ended up with a free 45 of “Tight Fittin’ Jeans”. I wasn’t a fan of Twitty, but I was a fan of tight jeans. So, you know ...

Twitty twister,
