OK Getting ready to "harm" my co-worker...

I liked Leonard's a lot. Why not get a radio and tune it to Christmas Rap. Donna

Get her headphones for a Christmas gift and maybe she'll get the hint. I think it's pretty rude to play music of any kind w/o headphones if you're in an office without a door. I don't mind the muisc...I just hate the singing along...ALL THE TIME...she has earphones but that will mean I just get her warbling to nothing One or two lines OK but it was like choir practice today...I thinkI'll have 4 cans of beans and 2 cans of tuna tonight for dinner...

It ain't exactly new, but it's pretty hard to beat Robert Earl Keen's Merry Christmas From the Family. I'm certain some of the humor I find stems from the fact that my in-laws are from Texas. It's not quite the same without hearing it rendered in REK's laconic twang, but lyrics are: Mom got drunk and Dad got drunk at our Christmas party We were drinking champagne punch and homemade eggnog Little sister brought her new boyfriend He was a Mexican We didn't know what to think of him until he sang Feliz Navidad, Feliz Navidad Brother Ken brought his kids with him The three from his first wife Lynn And the two identical twins from his second wife Mary Nell Of course he brought his new wife Kay Who talks all about AA Chain smoking while the stereo plays Noel, Noel The First Noel Carve the Turkey Turn the ball game on Mix margaritas when the eggnog's gone Send somebody to the Quickpak Store We need some ice and an extension chord A can of bean dip and some Diet Rites A box of tampons, Marlboro Lights Hallelujah, everybody say Cheese Merry Christmas from the family Fred and Rita drove from Harlingen I can't remember how I'm kin to them But when they tried to plug their motor home in They blew our Christmas lights Cousin David knew just what went wrong So we all waited out on our front lawn He threw a breaker and the lights came on And we sang Silent Night, Oh Silent Night, Oh Holy Night Carve the turkey turn the ball game on Make Bloody Mary's Cause We All Want One! Send somebody to the Stop 'N Go We need some celery and a can of fake snow A bag of lemons and some Diet Sprites A box of tampons, some Salem Lights Hallelujah, everybody say cheese Merry Christmas from the Family

OK, breaking out the Grinch again, we have this 24 hour FM channel for Christmas music. I guess most big cities have this. Well, every time I turn that on for my kids I hear the worst Christmas song of all time - "Feed the World." I have heard it three times in the past 4 days. Since that was spawned from the UK, those folks have the trophy for bad Christmas music. The Chipmunks rule, however.

I don't mind the muisc...I just hate the singing along...ALL THE TIME...she has earphones but that will mean I just get her warbling to nothingWhy not just join in? A white beard and red hat would be the perfect accessories for Natty Yellow Trunks. Next time she starts singing, jump up do a little elf dance and belt out the tune along with her. And to pile on the Christmas cheer… set up the “Wizards of Winter Christmas Lights" as your screen saver media.putfile.com/Wizards-of-Winter-Christmas-Lights

Celine Dion is Canadian btw. Blame Cruise for that.

I'd take Chipmunks over Radio Disney anyday. If I hear Hannah Montana one more time I may have an allergic reaction. Rich: Is your co-worker doing this AGAIN today?!

Milton Waddams: I was told that I could listen to the radio at a reasonable volume from nine to eleven, I told Bill that if Sandra is going to listen to her headphones while she's filing then I should be able to listen to the radio while I'm collating so I don't see why I should have to turn down the radio because I enjoy listening at a reasonable volume from nine to eleven. :joker: I bet NOBODY has attached a cover sheet to their TPS reports either. Didn't you guys get the memo? (Forced to listen to Cliff Richard and Slade right now - I would suggest the UK leads the world in bowel-shatteringly awful Christmas tunes)

One of our favorite Chinese restuarants plays Xmas music 24/7-365....I'm immune!
