Full Disclosure.

One thing you should know about me is I do not play "Celebrity" without using Bill Cosby's name.

The Bullshit Money Grab That Has Become "Running for President"

And we still have Cruz, Lake, Kasich, Rubio and on & on & on to go this cycle... (eyeroll emoji)


Xmatime 12 Years Ago Today

12 years ago today I wrote the greatest song of all time (warning: NSFW...or home, if I'm being honest)

Enjoy!
I'm Jerkin' Off at the Office

I’m jerkin’ off at the office,
Can you believe that I’m doing this?
It’s the best part of being in business,
I beat my dick like I’m Peter Criss.

I’m jerkin’ off on the copier,
I’m like Joe but I’m even sloppier
My nuts are banging on the START button,
You better listen like they’re E. F. Hutton.

I’m jerkin’ off on the fax machine,
‘Bout to cum a blizzard like I’m Dairy Queen,
My hand’s a doctor and my dick’s the patient,
Can I get a SENT confirmation?

I’m jerkin’ off at the water cooler,
Come on over and bring a ruler
Measure every one of my inches,
My dick is bigger than Jane Lynch’s.

I’m jerkin’ off in your cubicle now,
Your screensaver is beautiful, wow!
Is that a photograph of your children?
Ah shit, I feel something building.

I just shot a load on your post-its,
It ain’t white-out it’s my jizz mimosas
Let’s head over to the daily meeting,
Then I’ll give my dick another beating.

I’m jerkin’ off at the office,
Can you believe that I’m doing this?
It’s the best part of being in business,
I beat my dick like I’m Peter Criss.

Broadway Joe!

Xmastime Hall of Famer Joe Namath turns 70 80 today, and I agree with this guy that it's surprising he's "only" 70 80. I feel like he's been famous for bout 170 180 years.

Me on him and Mickey:
There are also some parallels between him and the Mickey Mantle HBO doc: strapping young bucks with insane athletic ability and Southern drawls who hit the New York City nightlife like hurricanes, both on injured knees which to this day makes those who saw them run at 100% feel sorry for those who never could, and both with a physical toughness and willingness to play through obscene pain that their teammates absolutely loved them for, despite both being placed on pedestals by fans and media (and both funny as hell.)

A Preview into Tonight's EGG FOO WHAT?! Recording

First of all, I've been eating Chinese food for over 40 years now & this is the first time I've ever run into what I guess is a miniature version of their iconic containers? ADORABLE!


Aaaaaaaaaand here's a video of my latest genius sandwich creation the "Pork & Broccoli without the Broccoli on French Fries" - The Pork Fry Sandwich, everybody!!!! Okay the video sucks because I was in my work cafeteria and self-conscious about looking stupid, but you get the gist of the sandwich's brilliance.

 

EGG FOO WHAT?! du Jour: "Alright".


State du Moi

I’ve mentioned the ladies who make the sandwiches in my work cafeteria making me feel like I’m a big shot by knowing my order so well that they just start making it when they see me walk in the cafeteria but I just watched one of them say to the guy behind me “hi Jason” and so now I am shook.

You're Welcome.

Based on recent events, can't Democrats just make an ad declaring AR-15s to be "woke" so then Republicans will hafta throw a big hissy fit about boycotting them?

There ya go. America's gun problem, solved.

Questions. I Have Them.

Why does Jesus get so much credit for dying for everybody’s sins when he just got up and carried on 3 days later like nothing happened and has been chirping away at us for over 2,000 years? Pretty sure anybody would sign up for that, no? 🤔🤷‍♂️

Ramones Regrets. 😔

Friends, there was a time I considered Howling at the Moon and Chasing the Night from 1984's classic Too Tough to Die were equals. I was wrong.

First EFW?! NFT?

 

Observations. I Have Them

Ron DeShithead uses “woke” like Rudy Giuliani used “9/11” fifteen years ago.

🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

New Xmastime Series!

I call this one, "Shitty Comments I Make in My Head That I Don't Actually Post Because I Don't Wanna Put Such a Thing Out into the World". Enjoy, everybody!

To Start Preparing for Tonight’s TED LASSO Series (Maybe) Finale



Oh God Please Let This Be It From Trump & His Merry Band of Idiots For Me Today

Fucking Idiots, II

Pretty soon, any time Republicans try to go anywhere it's gonna be like the ending of Reservoir Dogs.

McBullshit (Trademarked!)

So this popped up in my Timehop app today:


"But Xmastime", you say in the voice of Craig “Ironhead” Heyward from those soap commercials (RIP), “didn't you tell the fucking wizards in the Mickey D's laboratory to fuck of with all then fanci-fying of their burgers all the way back in 2007?"

Sigh. Yes I did, faithful readers, YES I did:
I just saw that documentary about the McDonald's corporation on CNBC and they made a huge fucking deal about how laborious and thorough Mickey D's is when coming up with a new menu item. They couldn't stop patting themselves on the back for testing out 1800 new items a year, of which MAYBE one gets through to the menu. Tested over and over all over the country for 2 or 3 years, they remind us. Are you kidding me? 1800 new items, and the one that makes the grade is ... a big cheeseburger? Really? What are the other 1799 losers - the McShitcicle? Daddy's McDick on a Sesame Seed bun? This is the best these McWizards can come up with? and who are these fucking idiot test subjects who are excited enough that this thing gets pushed to the front? If I know I'm part of the decision as a test subject, wouldn't I kinda be unimpressed? Who are these people? "Wow...a bigger cheeseburger...you McDid it!!!!"

Fucking Idiots.

For years I've warned that once Trump's presidency starts to fade into the background a bit and some "normalcy" finds its way back into the art of being president, people will start bitching about being bored and wanting to "shake things up!" and now I see a headline like this and I'm like you know what great I hope we get a second even worse, insanely vindictive and authoritarian Trump term and people like this can kiss my ass as their own lives go straight down the shitter because of it. Fucking idiots.

Long Live The Kinks!!

I love how this "London Kinks Tour!" is 95% "here's the house Ray & Dave grew up in and the pub across the street". 😜

Questions. I Have Them.

Why is I'm Alan Partridge never streaming anywhere?!?!? 😡 You can't even buy it on Apple 😡 GET IT TOGETHER OUT THERE, TV STREAMING PEOPLE!!

You Mean the Wig?

15 Years Ago Today on Xmastime

A Questions About The Sopranos "Pine Barrens" Episode

Why didn’t the Russian just hack away at Christopher and Paulie for about 3 seconds with the shovel instead of running off?

Dying

The "word from our sponsor" bit got a legit howl out loud. 🤣

Sunday Declaration. I Have Them.

There are two types of people in this world: people who know the line is "It's not hard, not far to reach", and idiots who think the line is "It's not far, not hard to reach".

In Case It'd Been More Than 10 Minutes Since You'd Been Reminded of the Absolute Genius That is Jay Cartwright

Never before has one character been tasked with delivering so much bullshit and then delivering it in spades. As he’s constantly bullshitting about being “up to my nuts in guts!” he knows he’s bullshitting, his friends know he’s bullshitting, and he knows his friends know he’s bullshitting, and yet he simply cannot stop! It’s small wonder the producers of Rock & Chips thought of him when they were looking for a 16 year-old Del Boy. - XMASTIME

BREAKING NEWS:

Turns out Russians may be a lot funnier than we think:
Pavel tried to live like the rest. He did all a young lad should do: bought himself an accordion, a shirt with a starched front, a loud-colored necktie, overshoes, and a cane.
😳😳🤣🤣

Guys is This Photoshopped? Looks Like Photoshop but I’m Not Sure.

Worlds Colliding

Two of my favorite things: The Royle Family and Tina Turner. 🥲🤗 🕺

Who Ate My Lasagna!?!?

I follow the James Garfield Museum on Twitter so when this just popped up I was reminded to remind you losers - I mean, friends - that this is the second-best nonfiction book of this century, behind only the brilliant Manhunt.

Declarations. I Have Them.

Within the first 100 days of an Xmastime presidential administration I promise to make it illegal for Amazon to sell books that have passed into public domain & can be printed out by any shithead with a printer without making it clear on their site 😡😡😡😡

EGG FOO WHAT?! Update

Fans are wondering if I took Mike's advice on the office laptop situation so this is it. 😬

LISTEN TO THE EPISODE HERE

WATCH THE EPISODE HERE

HOT TAKE ON ROCK

Pinball Wizard should be skipped the moment Townsend's dramatic acoustic intro is finished and the actual song begins.

Thoughts. I Have Them.

Just once in the streaming era of prestige tv with incredibly anticipated series finales can’t we have a horrific scandal in which a bitter writer spills the beans about a show’s ending before it airs?

More BIG SANDWICH!

I don't know why my fellow Wings fans have been obsessed with The Big Sandwich all week but friendS let me tell you one goddam thing I 👏 am 👏 here 👏 for 👏 it👏 !

Every One of These is Just Fantastic 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Speaking of The Beatles...

...here's Paul's journal, sketching out the iconic Abbey Road cover...I mean, did all these guys carry diaries around every day?

Happy Birthday Ian McKellan!

I'll never watch any of those little drawf shit movies he does but man he absolutely CRUSHED it on Vicious 🤣🤗 🤣🤗 🤣🤗 🤣🤗

The Beatles are Just Too Amazing.

You can read about them for the next hundred years and still find out new stuff. This is an excerpt from Bono's memoir. Wow.


Too Hot?

A Note of Worry About the TED LASSO "Finale"

If Ted teaches Nate his Biscuits for the Boss recipe before moving back to the United States I am going to LOSE. MY. GOD. DAMN. MIND.

EGG FOO WHAT?! Episode 47

Mike tries to help Greg’s slow-motion small talk spiraling meltdown, Lucinda Williams is bite-y (Mike’s a no, Greg’s a YES!), we say goodbye to Tina Turner and much, much more all in one episode. #eggfoowhat 

Tina Turner Would've Loved Herself Some Xmastime

As we commemorate the passing of the Queen of Rock & Roll 😢😢, let’s take a moment to point out she would have agreed with Xmastime in last night’s EGG FOO WHAT?! episode re: her biggest hit.

11 Years Ago Today 🥲

 




Still a Good Idea.

 

J-accuse!

Does Wegmans think that just because I ordered a second slice of pizza I’m now open to some weird pentagram Satan shit?

A Brief Note on the Penultimate Episode (Maybe) of Ted Lasso

1) Again, just like last season, Nate has not earned his character arc in any way, shape of form and it's really fucking baffling.

2) I can't remember the reason now but one of the characters mentioned the London neighborhood of Tooting so that means one thing to you people and one thing only: Smiffy!!! 🤣🤗🇬🇧

 

The Queen of Rock & Roll

RIP Tina Turner

The greatest performance on any record ever. 😢

Thoughts. I Have Them.

Some human being has to have been the first person to ever die. I wonder who that was.

American Idiot

Trump refusing to leave E. Jean Carroll alone after getting away with just a slap on the wrist is giving me some 2006 OJ vibes. 

But then, that's what his crowd likes. When you think about Republicans' faux outrage at the word "deplorables", remember how the crowd howled with laughter with Trump that night on his CNN town hall.

It's All Going to Be Alright, Everybody

Sometimes I wish we would collectively acknowledge Trump is an insufferable idiot buffoon and all agree to just stop listening to him but then I remember a dark moment in our nation's history during which he really rose to the occasion and I’ll think you know what, let’s hear what he has to say.

Thank You for the Days

I've mentioned several times over the years that a tentpole moment at my funeral will be a playing of The Kinks' classic Days. Gee, you ask, who else of great importance in the history of rock music would like Days to be played at his own funeral WELL GOLLY GEE ME it's only Ray Davies himself, people!
“Thank you for the days, those endless days / Those sacred days you gave me,” Davies sings in this chiming farewell that he wrote for (but ultimately cut from) the first of the Kinks’ several concept albums, “The Kinks Are the Village Green Preservation Society.” “But that’s only if I have to pick one of my songs,” he says. “If not, I choose ‘SOS’ by ABBA.”

Just a Coupla Cool Dudes Hanging Out!

🤗🤣🕺

#Scooter

Eyeroll du Jour

You superfans of Xmastime know how I feel about this kind of bullshit from actors:
How many times we gotta hear about an actor loving to play a bad, evil role and saying "the role allows me to be a real creep, to be a complete jerk and mean, which is so different from real life." oh, cause in real life Im sure you're a fucking saint, douchebag. Just once I'd like to hear the opposite "what an experience playing a nice, normal guy. As you and the girls at Scores already know in real life Im an asshole, sleazy douchebag. Man. what a change for me!" Fuck you. And your movie sucks.

Loud Sigh.

I mean ffs when is Wes Anderson just gonna do a goddam Roadrunner/Wile E. Coyote movie already?

Happy 74th Birthday Jim Broadbent!

Cheers to the man who turned down playing Del Boy, which led to the beyond-iconic portrayal by David Jason. He was only in 3 episodes, but each moment he was onscreen was golden as the thorn in the guys' side since they were wee lads. Boooooooo, Slater!!! 😡🤗🤣

Yaassssssssss!!

Go forth this moment and rock this great record from longtime buddy Ivan Julian!! 🤗🕺

Opinions. I Have Them.

I don't really care what these taste like but man I really love their packaging.

Wow We WINGS Fans Really Go All-Out on the Big Sandwich Thing, Don't We?
