Christmas in the Stars

18 Dec

Today’s Advent Calender of Doom selection is the Star Wars Christmas Album. Not to be confused with the Star Wars Holiday Special, this LP was an even more cut-rate attempt to cash in on the Star Wars craze. Favorite moment: R5-D4 making out with Chewbacca under the mistletoe. God I wish I was making that up.

The album is mercifully out of print, but you can download the whole wretched thing here.

The War on Mickey Rooney continues

15 Dec

Merry Christmas, from Mickey Rooney! (From “Silent Night, Deadly Night Part 5“).

Hate children? Get them this.

Senior Center / Death Panel playset from Playmobil

Looking for a terrible Christmas gift for someone you hate this year? Then look no further than the Senior Center / Death Panel playset from Playmobil.

Are there actually children out there who like to pretend to take care of the elderly? If my parents got this for me when I was a kid, I would have never forgiven them.

(Although, I have to admit, they would have made great human shields for my G.I. Joes.)

The Genius of Mickey Rooney

14 Dec

Yes folks, America’s sweetheart Mickey Rooney lends his talents as the voice of Santa Claus in the Rankin and Bass classic “The Year Without a Santa Claus”. Ol’ Mick can do it all: sing, dance . . . and grunt like a drunken goat! Check out the petrified reindeer at the end . . . they know what’s coming!

Pac-Man Christmas

9 Dec

December means one thing around here: terrible, terrible Christmas albums.

The first in this year’s Advent Calendar of Doom is the mind-numbing Pac-Man Christmas. May God have mercy on your soul. (Found via A Christmas Yule Blog)
