I actually sat down and watched this from start to finish with no distractions this year. It was cool. My wife HATES this movie for some reason. I told her that was grounds for a divorce, but I love her, so she stays. For now...
I watch this once a year, on TV when TBS plays it. Usually it's on Christmas day, but I think Christmas Eve is better, and I'll probably start watching it then. [Reply]

my dad was remodeling/fixing up an old narly bathroom in the basement - I hear him sawing (yes...sawing...as in handsaw ) into the wall etc...then I hear him yelll "Aaaaaaa". I go down there (I'm probably 8) and he's 'taking a knee' on the floor etc, I ask him what happened and he said he cut into a power line lol. he shut off the power to the bathroom etc, but apparently the way the wiring was run for the other parts of the house, som 220 lines headed to the stove upstairs were still live. lol.
there are so many other stories of my dad cheating death...
my old man was fluent in obscenities too.
:-) - that is one of the better stories told on CP that I could remember, and no airplane toilets were destroyed in the process!! [Reply]
