Christmas is the most wonderful time of year and Matt-Man
and Jaymna are here to help you celebrate! They love Christmas and have so many
great memories of Christmases past to share. Jesus may be the reason for the
season, but it isn't much fun without a little hilarity. So, Matt and Jay will
discuss their favoirte Christmas movies and comedies and will even play their
favorite Christmas songs!
Buddy Acappella will be here to sing a very special
rendition of "Silent Night." The IWS Players will also be here to do
the traditional reading of "T'was the Night Before Christmas" also.
On top of that there will be Christmas greetings from all of our
correspondents, many fans of the show and maybe even a few celebrities.
Matt and Jay will also talk best and worst presents along
with best and worst Christmas traditions. Plus there will also be some
discussion about certain package deliver companies and how they can't be
trusted to pack fragile items properly. Aaaaaaaaaaand there might be some
discussion about current events like the stunning Cuba announcement this week
by President Obama. Oh and the hacked Sony e-mails, North Korea, The Interview
and all the cowards backing down from terrorists.
All this and YOUR CALLS! Be sure to join in and even call us
up to make this true holly jolly Christmas when you join us on "We Got Your Bells Jingling Right Here Baby" on IWS Radio!
Hola y’all! I struggled all day trying to come up with a subject to write about tonight. Well, actually I struggled for about 30 minutes this evening after Matt-Man casually mentioned not having to write to night and realizing that it is my turn.
It was then that Matt and I engaged in a brilliant and intense brainstorming session on Twitter to come up with something for me to write about. Well, being Matt he came up with something for HIM to write about and I could play along. Tonight I’ll list some of my favorite words and Matt will follow up tomorrow with his. We’re just so damn clever.
So in no particular order are some of my favorite words that I can think of right off the top of my head without giving this a whole of thought cause I’m on a deadline…
Shindig: Basically any event that includes more than two people is a Shindig. It can be a big, lavish party like a wedding or a Holiday Party or Bar Mitzvah. It can also be a group of friends gathering at the bar for some beer and nachos while watching the game. Can it be a family reunion? Sure! Hell, it doesn’t even have to be that formal. I could be three-way conversation on Skype. The thing they all have in common is people gathering to have a good time and maybe throw back a drink or two and have some food.
Discombobulated: Pretty much anytime anyone is even the slightest bit confused, I consider him or her to be discombobulated. One of the reasons I love the move version of “How the Grinch Stole Christmas” is because sweet little Cindy Lu Who (who grew up to be a Pretty Reckless chick) describes herself as feeling all discombobulated. So cute!! It’s just a fun word to use.
Verklempt: This word differs from “discombobulated” in that rather than just being out of sorts or confused, a person who is “verklempt” is very upset. It is possible to be both discombobulated AND verklempt though. Anyway, anyone who is even the slightest bit emotional over anything at all, even if it’s just a minor sadness, I consider to be “all verklempt.”
Loathe: I don’t dislike people. I don’t even hate people. I looooooaaaaaaathe them.
Superfluous: A great example of “superfluous” would be the extra “M” on Jon Hamm’s last name. I guess they thought they could make up for it by leaving the “H” out of his first name, but if you ask me that just compounded the problem.
Shenanigans: One can either call shenanigans or get into shenanigans. It’s a very versatile word.
Nefarious: Sometimes those shenanigans are nefarious.
Jocularity: I’ve always been a big fan of Father Francis Mulcahy. And I’m a big fan of engaging in all kinds of jocular activities because people rarely get physically injured like they would if it was a hubbub or hullabaloo.
Badonkadonk: Hey now! That’s totally a word. And, you guys all know that I’m an ass man.
Pithy: I like to keep most of my blog posts rather pithy. I know how short your attention spans are.
Gallivanting: Why would anyone want to just go about their daily activities like shopping, working, visiting friends or whatever when they could be GALLIVANTING ABOUT even if it’s something mundane.
Okay, that’s enough for now. This post might get a bit long and I hate if I get too verbose.
Also, if you are bored and have nothing else to do. You could always check out our "Internet Love and Friendship" show on I'm With Stupid. Jocularity abound!
Matt: “I guess if I don’t answer you’ll just keep calling.”
Jay: “Just like a crazy obsessed girlfriend.”
Matt: “That brings back bad memories.”
Jay: “Had a few of those in the past have you?”
Matt: “No, I’ve been the crazy one receiving the restraining order.”
Jay: “I’m proud of all my restraining orders. I use them for wallpaper.”
Matt: “I use them for toilet paper. But, I’m big into recycling.”
Matt: “It’s The Creepy Kid Next Door's birthday weekend. He might call in.”
Jay: “That’s awesome. Hard to believe he’s already 17. And growing like a week.”
Matt: “And, I might have a really hot YOUNG chick to call in and sing ‘Happy Birthday’ to him.”
Jay: “Sweet! Can you get her to sing ‘I Touch Myself’ to us after?”
Matt: “You sick fuck.”
Jay: “Hey, there’s a great game on ESPN tonight. Too bad you don’t have a TV.”
Matt: “Now that was just hurtful. And uncalled for.”
Jay: “Well, that ‘sick fuck’ line hit a little too close to home this time.”
Matt: “Sometimes, you just have to accept reality.”
Jay: “Fuck that. Reality sucks. I make my own reality.”
Matt: “I understand. I do the same from time to time.”
Jay: “It’s the only thing that eases the pain.”
Matt: “Uh-oh! Guess who it is.”
Jay: “Who?”
Matt: “It’s Angry MailMAAAAAAAANNNNNN!”
Jay: “The only guy more pissed at the world than Matt-Man.”
Matt: “Yeah, well at least he gets to carry Mace.”
Jay: “That’s cool. It’s legal there? Cause it’s illegal here and many places actually.”
Matt: “But, loaded firearms are okay, right?”
Jay: “Definitely. You can take your loaded Glock .40 to church even.”
Matt: “Here, you can take a concealed gun to a bar, but don’t you dare light up a cigarette.”
Jay: “Selling drugs on street corners is okay, but smoking in the park is brazen lawlessness that won’t be tolerated.”
Matt: “We have our priorities.”
Jay: “Blog is getting lots and lots of hits this week.”
Matt: “Posting the link to Reddit is paying off big.”
Jay: “That’s an awesome site. Lots of great stuff on there.”
Matt: “Yeah, apparently I’m not allowed to post there anymore.”
Jay: “Damn, that sucks.”
Matt: *sigh* “Just one more thing that’s gone wrong this week.”
Jay: “Woe is Matt.”
Matt: “Don’t I know it.”
Jay: “Well, we could hold a big Self-Pity Party on this week’s show.”
Matt: “That’s not a bad idea. Hell, you won’t have to do much for this one.”
Jay: “Except just talk about the sadness that is my life.”
Matt: “I hear ya.”
Jay: “So, you wanna do that?”
Matt: “Yeah! Let’s do it.”
So there you go! We’ll be hosting a Self-Pity Party on Saturday at 6:30 pm EDT for anyone who wants to join in. But first, The Creepy Kid Next Door will call in for some Happy Birthday Wishes. You’ll want to be there for this one! It’s going to be a roller coaster of emotions.
