Ah yes. The hypocrites descend with their passive-aggressive gay jokes!

Toughen up, snowflake.

Aren't you the guy who wants ty back?

I'm good. Just find the hypocrisy funny! When I say something is gay, I get jumped on like Nigerians on an emailed bank account number.

Like funny ha ha, or funny you're dead inside.

That guy died 2-3 years ago. Just a very nice man. IIRC, there wasn’t even a tree lot the first year after his death, and I don’t think I can remember seeing one last year. However, I just saw one set up there as I drove past yesterday.

Did he know Jingles?

he may very well have known Jingles.

[duffy munn]

I usually get our winter solstice tree from the guy at the corner of Hagadorn and Haslett Road - across from the Mobil H&H. Pretty cool guy.

we didn't have one at all last year and maybe the year before,  I don't recall - a lot of the time we're out of town over break.

A few years back we decorated it with Jack Daniels, Jameson and Jim Beam shooter bottles.. that was pretty cool. That's probably the route we'll take again this year (if we get one).

but, yeah, we'll probably wear some holiday scarves and sing carols as we decorate it.

I knew the guy. When I was in school he worked at the party store on Grand River and Gunson. It was called Party Down in those days. He would personally wheel half barrels to our bashes at 147 Gunson. Red hair with a bushy goatee. We called him the Walrus. And yes, he knew Jingles.

I bought many $5.29 cases of Buckhorn at Party Down.

What a clown question, bro. Of course he knew Jingles. You have to be a real loser not to know Jingles.

aww really? that sucks - I guess it's been more than a couple of years since we had a tree from there.

but, yeah, he was a cool guy - lived in a little camper in the parking lot there. I also kind of felt like he had a good gig, at least for a few weeks out of the year.

if we get a tree, not sure what we'll do now.. knowing my wife, she'll want something from Whole Foods.

sucks about the guy at that corner, though.

Everyone’s favorite writer here, Solari, wrote a really nice tribute piece about him after he died. I guess the guy was very active in support of/volunteering for city rec baseball at Muni/Kircher.

I lived in the basement of the house across the parking lot behind Party Down, man was that convenient. Wasn't the owner a guy named Fitz?
I was partial to Olympia long necks

As excited as everyone is here about these specials, maybe everyone watches them and has a Swillers Hallmark Movie Chat afterward, like our own little book club.

Also, sorry, but I can’t do it. I’m busy that night.

Yep. Fitz Party Down. Side note, I'm watching my Tar Heels sequestered in another room. Any guesses as to what my wife may be watching?

Poor Pylon can't even sneak a post in, he must be on his 3rd movie tonight.

This time film is On now - followed by "Chrstmas Everlasting". Sounds like another big night for Bob, Duffy and Pylon.

Plot sounds about as deep as your average skin flick, without the skin.

The acting is about the same

[Watch Out Pylon!]

tWife watched one with this chick in it last night. Nice assets.

Plot: Big city girl has to go to a small town in Colorado to deliver a letter to her dad's business partner. Tradition is the letter MUST be delivered by hand. Anyway, the dude isn't there so she has to wait for the guy to show up. Meanwhile she falls in love with the town, breaks up with her douchebag boyfriend and gets with the local taxi cab driver.

[Guest]

Strangely we get all these "the wife watched it" explanations but the actresses and plot lines seem to be known pretty well by those "not watching".

There's only so much to read on this board from my phone. Plus I was mildly interested in the boobs.

A Shoe Addict's Christmas
When a woman is accidentally locked inside a department store after closing, she is shocked to receive a visit from a guardian angel, who takes her on a trip to Christmases past, present and future to rediscover the true spirit of the holiday.

Why does that sound familiar?

This was actually a good one.

BTW  

[Watch Out Pylon!]

At least Hallmark throws the guys a bone by casting smoking hot chicks as the lead actresses.

So, are these like the SyFY B movies where the hot chicks are in bikinis (or something slutty) at least half the time?

Love me a SYFY B movie.

These are wholesome family Christmas movies. Too cold and inappropriate for bikinis. The chick I talked about earlier was in a nice red dress that had her titties kind of popping out though. So there's that.
