That still makes me woolgather that it would be wonderful if someone made a children's special about a female character who has a bizarre disfigurement. The male love interest graciously overlooks this mutation and even finds it attractive and useful.
Oh, I forgot... it's women's work to politely fail to notice, nay, appreciate freakish aberrations in their prospective mates, while we remain steadfastly physically perfect.
@boobookitt: Hahaha. While watching this last night, my boyfriend grabbed the remote from me and tried to changed it because, as he said, "Everyone in this is such a dick!"
My two most-prized tree ornaments are little hanging snow globes, one with Yukon Cornelius inside and the other with the Abominable Snowman. I don't start Christmas until after the first week of December though so I haven't pulled them out yet.
A couple of years ago, around Christmas, I went on a date with an improv comic who took me to a show some of his friends were in where they did a live action version of the Rudolph special, complete with the weird music that plays when his nose glows. It was hilarious.
@badmutha: He was, but alas that was a our last date. It all went downhill when he told me about how "gross medical stuff" makes him feel faint, and I went "Oh. ............... That's my favorite topic." haha.
I never understood how the Abominable Snowman shrank so much from the first time we saw him (when he was so big that he couldn't even fit in the frame and we could only see him from the knees down) to the last time we saw him (when he's standing inside the elves' workshop and putting the star on the tree).
why do they show them so early?!? Thank goodness for my worn out old VHS copy, taped from tv sometime in the 80's complete with osh kosh b'gosh commercials and all. My favorite xmas eve activity is watching that tape!
@xgurl3eb: In 2005, I was working at Blockbuster and Rankin Bass published ALL their Christmas movies in a cute little box set that looked like a book. My mom made me buy 4 of them for her.
@Zombie Ms. Skittles: especially since most of them seem to have NOTHING WRONG WITH THEM. That dolly is just fine as she is, and I WANTED one of thos polka dot teddy bears. I just couldn't understand why they were misfits, but I guess that's kinda the point of the story.
@Zombie Ms. Skittles @Doreen DelPurgatorio: the worst (best?) part is that he's HOLDING THE UMBRELLA IN HIS HAND..thinks about it...and kills him
good bye productive day at the office :/
By the way, I showed my friend who lives in Denton a picture of you because I'm trying to con her into chaperoning me so I can hang out with you at some point over my New Year's visit without feeling guilty about staying at her house and ditching her one day and she said it wasn't fair that you were that cute AND gay.
@OneTwoPunch: I really need to actually watch that movie. My mom was a little weird about which movies we got to watch for the holidays and Heat Miser didn't make the cut (I've also never seen The Little Drummer Boy because it was "too sad").
@OneTwoPunch: DUDE!!! I can totally do the Heat and Snow Miser dances, and I do it for my kids every year. "Whatever I touch, starts to melt in my clutch. I'm too much."

Also, I did post Raging Rudolph from Mad TV in groupthink last night for those of you with a sense of humour as warped as mine.

And did you ever notice how Syndrome in The Incredibles looks an awful lot like Heat Miser? It makes me laugh every time.
