As xkcd points out in the strip below (and I can agree with based on my 12/22 birthday), folks born on or around Christmas can miss out on some of the attention they might otherwise get on their birthday.
On the other hand, there are some perks too. For instance, I only had to go to school on my birthday once as a kid.
Merry Christmas everyone, I hope the snow doesn’t trash anyone’s plans. #FB
I’d like to see the Chuck E. Cheese robots update their repertoire and add this:
Lyrics via AZLyrics
“Birthday Dethday”
Many years ago today something grew
inside of your mother…
That thing was youYOU
YOU YOU YOU YOU
Did she scream did she cry
Only those that are born are the ones that
Get to dieOne more year closer to dying
Rotting organs ripping grinding
Biological discordance
Birthday equals self abhorrenceYears keep passing aging always
Mutate into vapid slugs
Doctor gives a new perscription
Bullet in a fucking gunOne more year closer to dying
Plastic surgeons fuel the lying
You forget why you came in here
Your mind rots with every New YearRSVP PLEASE
For the DETH of thee
You have little time
And you’re running out of lifeHappy Birthday
You’re gonna dieNow you’re old and full of hatred
Take a pill to masturbatred
Children point to you and scream
Because they will become that thingOne more year of further suffering
There’s no point of fucking bluffing
Open up your DETHDAY present
It’s a box of fucking nothingRSVP PLEASE
For the DETH of thee
You have little time
And you’re running out of lifeDIE DIE
DETHDAY
BIRTHDAY
DETHDAY
DIE DIE
DETHDAY
BIRTHDAY
DETHDAYRSVP PLEASE
For the DETH of thee
You have little time
And you’re running out of lifeHappy Birthday
You’re gonna die

A couple cat related items came recently. Xkcd illustrates the technical complexity of making you laugh at some silly cat on the internet. The second item is a silly cat on the internet.
See how that ties in?

Looking for a naughty Christmas? Think this might have you covered.
From Metromix:
Le Cirque Rouge Holiday Extravaganza will showcase non-traditional versions (to say the least) of traditional Christmas tunes this weekend at the 501 Club (Friday, Dec. 18, 2009). It’s the 7th annual show and will feature Victoria Vaughn as a knocked-up Santa Claus who gives new meaning to the song, “Santa Baby;” a very Bad Santa portrayed by singer John Eric Theide; jazz ditties from Amy Buchanan and Chrystal Canary; and so many dancing numbers from favorite burlesque beauties Tomahawk Tassels, Buttercup and Miss Fanny May.
Expect sexy retro lingerie, unholy high kicks and holiday-themed pasties covering the, err, Christmas cookies. Good Christians beware—Le Cirque Rouge’s racy renditions of your favorite carols will send you straight to the confessional on Christmas Day and every day following. Still, it’s not too late to get yourself on the naughty list this year. You don’t need that Nintendo Wiii anyway.
All of Le Cirque Rouge’s shows are known for their energy and talent, with regular appearances at local establishments like Nick & Eddie, 331 Club and more. Amy Buchanan, self-titled Disorganizer and Ringleader of Le Cirque Rouge burlesque troupe, assured me that there are going to be some really sweet surprises from the girls too. Maybe even a dog?
The 501 Club is expected to sell out for the event, so come early for a good view of the sexpot stage shenanigans. The baby Jesus might have been wrapped in swaddling clothes, but these nice ladies certainly will not be.

Hey, wow, 28 degrees. Where did I put my shorts?
Wish I’d known about this earlier, as in, before it sold out, But apparently Mates of State is (are?) playing this Saturday at the Weisman museum on the University of Minnesota Twin Cities campus. To console myself, I’ve posted Ha Ha off of their Team Boo album here for your listening pleasure, I hope you enjoy it. And, if you happen to catch the show, let me know how it worked out at the Weisman.
