This was on Twitter the other day: And I was a little bit surprised, but not much, because WM says he never heard of the song (and hated it on first listen). As a highly-diluted Italianish-American, I'm happy to fix this oversight for the rest of you! Lou Monte is also the esteemed singer of "Shaddapa You Face," "Lazy Mary," and "Pepino, the Italian Mouse." Look them up at your own risk. ...

I skip "All I Want for Christmas is You" because I can't stand Jimmy Fallon. ...

RealizationsI've been having a devil of a time getting out of bed in the mornings lately. Today, I began to realize why.Reason 1: Have you ever heard of the summer-camp phenonmenon of putting a sleeping camper's hand into a bowl of warm water? The alleged result is that they wet themselves, and everyone chuckles. (Ah, youth! Children are so pure, aren't they?) This morning, as I blinked myself awake, my left hand was up against a small, wirey, sleeping dog. My right hand was touching a large, ...
