4)  Even the daily show understands the osu meatchicken rivalry

but do they understand its deep history goes beyond the grid iron

and for something completely different because it is so seasonal

 

 

5) some fall decorating tips (please be advised of foul language ... a lot of foul language ...  a lot a lot a lot of foul language ... but the contrast with Martha is how the humor is constructed ... you will see what I mean)

1) There are some things that get you in the spirit for the Holidays, as much as I love him, Bob Dylan straining over Silent Night is not one of them.

As one critic said, "when the star stumbles through I'll be home for Christmas, he delivers it as a threat."
