OT - NO POLITICS Happy Holidays Edition
- Thread starter Gee Wally
- Start date
I had hoped to provide proper links to these holiday suggestions.
Alas & alack, events have conspired against me.
So, bare bones holiday edition, sans the usual:
The Andy Griffith Show, "The Christmas Story" (1960);
"Guess Who's Coming to Christmas," Happy Days (1974);
Frasier, "Frazier Grinch" (1993);
"Do you know what this means?"
"Yes.
"The Cranes of Maine have got your 'Living Brain.' "
Movies:
" The Bells of St. Mary's." Bing Crosby, Ingrid Bergman (1945).
"Holiday Inn."
'You'll shoot your eye out, kid." (1983),
I turned my family on to this charmer.
Now they claim it as their own.
*Impudence.*
"Die Hard" (1988)
"When Harry Met Sally" (1989)
"The Ref" (1994)
PS there are a host of Scrooge adoptions well worthy of viewing. One Stars Henry winkler, I believe it's called an American Christmas Carol or something like that. That's very good. Also on a more somber note, the gathering, staring at asner. Speech to text.
"And that's what Christmas is all about, Charlie Brown." Sitcom adaptions, not so much.
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and Seasons Greetings,

I'm thinking maybe you shouldn't take this anymore. There has to be something else out there that can help you without making you paranoid. You might hurt yourself or someone else.

I am so depressed and hope some of these upbeat oldies can lift me up. I feel like a dementor (I won't mention his name) has sucked all of the hope and happiness from me. Some days I feel like I am treading water and can barely keep my head above water.

Do you prefer "White Christmas" over Holiday Inn"?
Yes but @GahdenRinkRat like Holiday Inn better. Amanda loves Danny Kaye (thinks he looks like her Grandfather...I don't see it)
and as someone who danced for years (mostly Ballet) loves Vera Ellen.
I love It's A Wonderful Life, Miracle on 34th Street (original) and One Magic Christmas.
I enjoy the specials too - Charlie Brown, On Christmas Eve, The Snowman,
The Snowman, and The Snowman and the Snowdog are SO FREAKING GOOD
My kids used to watch the snowman and snowdog a ton because it was available for free on their Amazon Kids accounts. The songs are all still carved into my memory. I recently watched the full version on YouTube and my god is it ever powerful. Got a little misty in the living room for sure.
Don't bother about Le dément.
Keep your eye on the sparrow and eff 'em if they can't take a joke.
Not to put too fine a point on it,
"F*ck that. And f*ck them.
"And f*ck the f*cking horse they f*cking rode in on."
"I once asked my history teacher how we were expected to learn anything useful from his subject, when it seemed to me, to be nothing but a monotonous and sordid succession of robber baron scumbags devoid of any admirable human qualities.
"I failed history."

Englishman In New York
I don't drink coffee, I take tea, my dear
I like my toast done on one side
And you can hear it in my accent when I talk
I'm an Englishman in New York
See me walking down Fifth Avenue
A walking cane here at my side
Take it everywhere I walk
I'm an Englishman in New York
(Whoa) I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York
(Whoa) I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York
If manners maketh man, as someone said
He's that hero of the day
It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile
Be yourself no matter what they say
(Whoa) I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York
(Whoa) I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York
Modesty, propriety can lead to notoriety
You could end up as the only one
Gentleness, sobriety are rare in this society
At night a candle's brighter than the sun
Takes more than combat gear to make a man
Takes more than a license for a gun
Confront your enemies, avoid them when you can
A gentleman will walk but never run
If manners maketh man, as someone said
He's that hero of the day
It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile
Be yourself no matter what they say
Be yourself no matter what they say
Be yourself no matter what they say
Better to light a candle than curse the dark.
Merry Christmas, Susan,
MGM

He is quite the craftsman.
I will post more going forward, but you have doubtless seen previous Police/Sting bits in the music thread.
