we had put our pumpkins outside after thanksgiving, and they were promptly taken. but one has suddenly resurfaced today. left on the sidewalk, gutted and decapitated. i feel kind of sad about it?
Avatar 6:25pm
DJ Shangri-Fa-La-La-La-La:

yes, i went a little off the rails with this one, domenic. next week, i'm planning on doing a loungier/more exotica, back-to-usual programing christmas playlist. i just couldn't resist!

@Z, well worth the community effort.

It's always nice to be reminded how many real cool Christmas songs exist when you only hear the terrible three same songs everywhere else this time of the year
Avatar 7:26pm
DJ Shangri-Fa-La-La-La-La:

lol, soo true! i haven't minded not hearing it in the local shopping mall.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 7:28pm
Rich in Lavender Sansabelt Slacks:

I want to be in a crowded shopping mall a few days before xmas and have some prankster suddenly play The Residents Santa Dog over the soundsystem.
Avatar 7:29pm

If I was a mall santa, I'd be happy to hijack the system.

I wish there were a PA system here at work. Just some lousy IP phones and one crappy speaker pointing to the shipping department.
Avatar 7:37pm
DJ Shangri-Fa-La-La-La-La:

ah, i bet the shipping guys would love to hear this song!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 7:37pm
Rich in Lavender Sansabelt Slacks:

but in all actuality there being no PA system is almost entirely my fault because of years of abuse and pranks using it.
Avatar 7:38pm
DJ Shangri-Fa-La-La-La-La:

wow rich, you're the office rulebreaker?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 7:39pm
