Early Christmas present!

I thought frankj was looking for Wii’s for his early christmas present :P

Beautiful. Nice to see a resolution to the Potter storyline.

Makes me miss Phil Hartman. Dude was talented.

Anyone catch the other ending on Conan?

By the way AP, you’re a New Yorker, right? Do you/have you ever been to SNL or Conan, or are those just “touristy” things to do?

George was better than that.

Already found one and caught hell for it. Next gift for myself was the lost ending to It’s a Wonderful Life.

Classic, just classic. :)

Beating the hell out of a greedy, larcenous bitter old cripple like Mr. Potter is not exactly my idea of “getting in the Christmas spirit” — but I guess that is exactly the point. Humor is a funny thing (no pun intended).

I still want to see the alternate ending they hinted at on the simpsons.

Right Winged: I’m a New Yorker and they tape the “Colbert Report 1/2 block from my apartment…same place they once taped Jon Stewart…have never been to one of their tapings.Directly across the street is Sony Studios…never been there. All too “touristy”.

Saturday night, our whole family watched “It’s a Wonderful Life” — I’d never seen the beginning of it. When it was over, I told my wife about the SNL “lost ending” version, which I think was genuinely in the Yuletide spirit. I mean, what could be more Christmas-y than kicking the crap out of Old Man Potter?

Speaking of Frank J and Christmas presents, I want to link Frank’s most notorious column, as a Christmas present to CAIR.

This always makes me laugh. I must be a bad person. Or maybe I’ve just seen too many Die Hard movies. Either way, a classic bit of satire, in my humble opinion.

Merry Christmas to all!

RightWinged on December 23, 2006 at 11:09 PM

I would say they are “touristy” things to do….thats what I heard from the people I was living with there…not that I actually ever wanted to go…there is just too much to do in NYC to worry about Conan etc.

EnochCain on December 24, 2006 at 8:44 AM

Bottomline, the tourist things are touristy because they are fun and memorial. Don’t let a snob label spoil your fun.

You NYC folks are lucky. There’s so much to see for visitors. Yes, Houston is an oil and petrochemical giant. But there’s really not much else in this area. However, I’ll be the first to admit that the viscous layer of brown atmosphere does make for some spectacular sunrises.

SailorDave on December 24, 2006 at 10:10 AM

Thank to everyone here, and Merry Christmas. God Bless our troops.

Dana Carvey does an OK Jimmy Stewart but he’s no Rich Little. Anyway, everyone here please have yourself a Merry Christmas and an even better year than the last…….

Here’s a nice Christmas story from Maine’s Portland Press Herald you all might enjoy.

Well, it’s not even that I want to go, I was just curious how New Yorkers view such things. Like I lived in Nashville for about 5 years and people are always like “who did you meet!?” (for country stars), which was kind of weird to me. I didn’t go to any (big) concerts the entire time I was there, but met a bunch when I worked at one tourist trap, etc. But it’s like I didn’t devote a fraction of a second to “meeting” anyone famous or doing anything particularly “Nashville”…

So anyway, I probably wouldn’t waste my time at SNL, but might consider going to see Conan… but really I was just curious if New Yorkers ever go to these tapings or if it’s entirely tourists.
