An amazing thing happened this past Saturday.  Chuck Norris graciously allowed students at Liberty University to graduate.  When reached for comment, Chuck pulverized our new intern with the fist hiding under his beard and then continued to roundhouse kick time in the face.  Oh that Chuck.

Literally.

The Reds crushed Chicago 9-0 in that game. I could see this becoming a pre-game ritual.

A man among men walks into a Burger King and orders a Whopper value meal with 60 pieces of bacon.   He wanted it his way.  I salute his manly fortitude in furthering the cult of bacon (not to be confused with Bacon).  We are not worthy.

Today’s “Tuesday’s Terrific Track” is another selection by Mark Vidler of Go Home Productions (featured previously).  This jaunty Christmas mashup seamlessly joins “Christmas Time is Here Again” by the Beatles and “More Than A Feeling” by Boston.

As the first selection of the Christmas mashup/mix collection “Santastic! Holiday Boots 4 Your Stockings“, “Christmas In Boston” is arguably the best track.  It sets the tone of the album as a fun and creative distraction from the traditional Bing Crosby/Johnny Mathis/Karen Carpenter tunes that get overplayed this time every year.  This track is sure to bring some fresh Christmas cheer.
