On the First Day of Theme Week...

Jeremy’s Sametime Status Proudly Presents: Home for the Holidays week! Family Cringe Time as the Peanuts Gang fails to find the key in “Hark! The Herald Angels Sing.”


Since the holiday season is upon us once again, Jeremy's Sametime Status, and the parent company Miracle Posting, Inc would like to remind you to enjoy time with friends and family over the coming weeks. To that end, this week's Sametime Statuses will consist of fun and family-oriented things to do while you enjoy the holidays. Today's begins with the time-honoured tradition of sitting on the couch with your mug of hot chocolate watching remarkably old Christmas Specials, such as "A Charlie Brown Christmas."


That's right...the Peanuts Christmas special is an ageless wonder of aluminum trees and grade school pageants put on with no adult supervision. Along with all of this comes the Christmas Miracle of a herd of young children spontaneously breaking out into a "LoooooLoooooLooooo" version of "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing". Don't know about your neighborhood, but that never happens around here.

Unfortunately, the kids are ferociously bad singers, and despite the joy of the holidays, it's really best to hit the Mute button before they get to the "With the heavenly hosts proclaim" line, as evidenced at the 9:05 mark of the following video.




As a special bonus to all you loyal Blag Readers today, I simply could not pass up the opportunity to share the following video with you. Of course, as of this posting, you can simply go to Youtube and do a search for "throws shoe at Bush" and get 1020 videos to choose from. Here's Iraqi journalist Muntadhar al-Zaidi throwing his shoes at President Bush. The New York Yankees have reportedly offered him a 5-year contract worth just over $93 Million.

Muntadhar al-Zaidi is the Iraq equivalent of St Louis Cardinals pitcher/ outfielder Rick Ankiel. As a pitcher he, Ankiel, could not hit what he was aiming at as well.

Who throws a shoe? Honestly.
