Just a few things to think about before we meet on Christmas.
Here's some easy questions and maybe a couple to think about:
Name Ralphie's brother?
Name Ralphie's friend who stuck his tongue to the flag pole?
What did Ralphie want for Christmas?
At the end of the mmovie, what did Ralphie say hit him in the eye and broke his glasses?
Why did the adults think what Rallphie wanted for Christmas was a bad idea?
What was the name of the store where Ralphie saw the toy he wanted and where he saw Santa?
The story was based on the life of what humorist?
Name the bully?
What features were remarkable about the bully?
What happened to Ralphie when he said a bad word?
What did the Parker's eat for Christmas dinner and where?
What was the name of Ralphie's mother's magazine where Ralphie hid the ad for the toy he wanted?
What did Ralphie send away for in the mail?
What did Ralphie's Aunt Clara give him for Christmas?
What was the "major award" Ralphie's father won in a contest?
What did Ralphie's father battle with in the basement?
What did Ralphie's father buy "by the gross"?
What phrase spurred Ralphie's friend to stick his tongue to the flagpole?
What did Santa suggest Ralphie should get for Christmas?
What grade did Ralphie get on his theme paper, "What I want for Christmas"?

Who is responsible for this?? Do we win a prize? A major prize!
Actually, I'm home in 4 minutes and that's counting the extra minute it takes to get through the Colvin and Kenmore light.
Sure I'll hand out a prize to the lucky winner at Christmas. It's something everyone can use. And if there's a tie, we'll have a drawing. With 14 of us all knowing the answers and all our names (excluding mine) going into a hat, with the Holtz luck that it is, no one win probably win... figure out those odds.
a can of simonize?
And the winner is..... 7 1/2!! Actually, I have to go do some research. I am embarrassed to admit that I do not remember what he "used to order by the gross". I have a gut response, but this has always been and remains a family-oriented publication, and as attractive as Melinda Dillon was/is, I can't imagine the old man....well. I made it home yesterday in 3 minutes, and that was in a downpour.
Most of them were easy, but I did have trouble with 2 of them. The chinese restaurant's name was puzzleling.
Good morning on this frigid Saturday. The house is in shambles from my one too many projects so that's my job today. Cleaning, organizing, and a couple cold ones after.
Just a reminder (or.... for the first time), Sandra is singing in the Vespers Choir on Sunday at 4PM and 7PM. I'll be there at 4PM. First Trinity on the Boulevard.
KDH, is this your first day off or are you working?
fuses!
is it just me, or, if you look at that picture really quickly, does "the old man" look a hell of a lot like Mr. Fixit?
the old man could change a fuse faster than a jackrabbit on a date!
Mr. Fixit's everywhere, he's like "Find Waldo".
My father wove a tapestry of obsenities that still hangs high above Lake Michigan.
It's a clinker! That blasted stupid furnace dadgummit!
Dadgummit! I love that word.
Lotsa times when auntie gets a bit miffed with me (I love that word, miffed), she will say Dadgummit chuck!--usually without the exclamation point. Anyhow, I know that you were all concerned so I just wanted to let you all know that I just got back from playing a round of golf at Terry Hills in Batavia. Little tough to follow the flight of a white ball thru a snow flurry, but I did get my December round in. Not as nice as last Tuesday, but lots of good things happen when you get a favorable bounce off a frozen water hazard.
my kingdom for a hidden camcorder!
Bills almost pulled out a huge one today. wait til next year!
I LOVE the word dadgummit!
What a great day for golf today; sow flurries and no Bills game on TV. Not to mention... you got your December game in. 105 and counting???
That;s my nphw; actually 106. I feel bad that I did not call nphw jff to see if he wanted to play, but in reality I knew that he had far better things to do today. I will call when it comes time to play in Jan and all of the local courses are open.
Dagummitgolf!!!
LOL Auntie P... so true some times. You and Sandra can start the Dadgummitgolf Society.
The basement is coming along; we started the plumbing today. Just started... that's all. We were enjoying our Flying Bison Oatmeal Stout so much we ran out of time. It happens sometimes.
You'll get used to it. I sit alone all the time. Something about my egg salad sandwich wrapped in tinfoil puts others off.
my favorite family run web page is counting down to christmas once again. you have stayed true to your word and only covered the most impt of topics. the bills the sabres, what is going on in your family. congratulations
have a very merry christmas, and a very happy new year.
I am not sure of a couple of answer's to the christmas quiz.
the name of the magazine?
is one of them and I can not think of ralphy's brothers name?
oh well, I will have to watch it again
Dadgummitbills!
"You keep on sayin' that word. I don't think it means what you think it means." Inigo Montoyo
The Buffalo Bills have 4 games remaining; do they _____________ .
1. run the table and get into the playoffs.
2. lose the next four by a combined total of two points. Nearly impossible to do.
3. refuse to play the remaining games and diss all of us bettors who had them finishing the season at 6-10.
I love the condensed word "impt". Impt should be the word, not important. Em...poor...tan, it doesn't even sound right.
Adm, Manny to the Dodgers??? Oy?!
He'll make that defense better.
I am focusing my full attention on the UB Bulls basketball team. After they beat Pitt on Sat. nite they will move into the top 10 and we can forget about the Bills and the Sabres, at least the sabres until April. Everyone ready for our lake effect snow event?
I gotta say, I have no idea what any of the last 3 posts meant. Anyone want to translate for me?
LOOK in a magazine for clues...they must be there!
Watched the famous movie (again) last night with the kids...Emma was roaring over "I can't get my arms down!" She said it this morning as she was getting dressed for the bus...another generation begins...I'm afraid...very afraid!
Note to son of mine. Comments are generally made relative either to the "post", or, usually, after a bit, to the most recent "comment/s". You have to look at the entire piece of work to get all of the subtleties. Hence, my UB bulls comment was in reference to jff's comment on the Bills and what to do about them for the last four weeks. Spartanburg??? Mom never shared that one. I am sure that she has lots of ideas. Auntie B and ms. fixit did San antonio, auntie p. kristen and myself Gettysburg, so my response would be that it is time for someone else to step up for Spartanburg, maybe even do Greenville and the same time. Did she mean Williams "burg", like in VA. or williams "ville"--that one I could do. Another auto issue with the Kochs?? Can't wait to hear the refrigerator story come xmas. For the 90th, how about dinner out and a reception in the community room?? I know she has visions of some extravagant party somewhere but....
I was going to say I'll do Hamburg and Williamsville. Those are easy.
And Spartanburg... isn't that in the Sweet Home area? I could add that in there too.
I can't wait to hear the fridge story. Sounds like Home Depot hazing to me.
UB Bulls? Sure, why not. GO BULLS!
