I'm new here. What this all about, please? :)
Jake is what we call the bird perched on top of the SKMB logo. He is often decked out for various holidays and for several years now in the weeks leading up to the Christmas holidays there has been a new "Jake" every day. Last year it was a parody for Charles Dickens's "A Christmas Carol".

I picked Miracle on 34th Street.

How about "A Christmas Story."
"I want an official Red Ryder, carbine action, two-hundred shot range model air rifle!"
"No, you'll shoot your eye out."

Cracks me up every time.
That has to be my favorite Christmas movie! The frah-gee-lay line is the one that gets me. ;-D

I'd forgotten that Brian and I had talked about that as a choice last year when tossing around ideas. Maybe we should add that as a third choice, Brian?

That line cracks me up, too. “It must be Italian!”

Jake wrapped in so much winter clothing that he can’t move - like tick about to pop. Sticking his tongue on a cold pole. The leg lamp - the soft glow of electric sex gleaming in the window. The deranged Easter Bunny. Battle with that blasted stupid furnace, dadgummit! Jingre bers, jingre bers, jingre arr the way. The Ovaltine secret decoder. It... It 'twas... soap poisoning! The sinister triple-dog-dare. :)

Lying on the ground in a cowboy outfit with the Red Ryder and broken glasses on the ground beside him.... :D It's got my vote!
