I wasn’t alive in 1962, so I have no idea whether this computerized shopping assistant was considered amazing at the time. But sitting here in 2018, it seems like quite a bit of rigamarole to go through just to get a few gift ideas. I always have at least a person or two on my …

CKWR Gets To Live And A Better Plan For Christmas Music
We had to pick a new morning radio station today. Our usual stop, CKWR, has made the flip to all Christmas for its daily hosted music blocks and automation as of December 1st. The specialty shows are free to do their own thing, but that doesn’t do us much good when it’s six A.M. and …

Giving Back
Gill is back. To answer her question, the main thing I’m doing in the hopes of making the world a little bit better is just being myself. I’m not trying to sound egotistical, I just mean that I’m doing my best to do what I always try to do anyway regardless of where we are …
They’re Making A List, Checking It Twice, If You’re Not On It Then Go Fly A Kite
It’s strange enough that the santa at our mall hasn’t made a sound in years, but things have somehow gotten even weirder.

Talk About Your Hyped Up Gift
Wow. This guy has a heck of a lot of willpower. 47 years ago, Adrian Pearce was dumped by his girlfriend, but right before she dumped him, she gave him a Christmas present, and he has never opened it. He used to put it under the Christmas tree until his wife finally insisted it be …
Have A Giant Holiday Wrap-Up
Holy crap, it’s 2018. I feel like these holidays snuck up on us, then jumped on us, and now I’m still in disbelief that they’re over. In a small sense, they’re not quite over because I haven’t seen the nephews on my side of the family and we might see them this weekend, but everything …
You’re A Foul One, Mr. Stolen Package
Among many tips, police say that if you’re receiving packages on your porch, you should have a camera there to discourage porch pirates from stealing the packages. What I’d love is a camera inside a particular stolen package, a lovingly-wrapped box of especially-disgusting diapers. It seems Angie Boliek had one too many Christmas packages stolen, …
A Cell Would Be A Fine Place For These Selwoods
Now, there’s a family whose parties were probably anything but fun. most of them ended up in jail for Christmas. Meet the Selwood family. We have a guy who doesn’t mind stabbing a buddy for asking him to share his steak dinner, and also doesn’t mind stomping on other people’s heads, among his 17 convictions. …

Thanks for being such great family, friends, acquaintances and people we don’t know.
He Sees You When You’re Sleeping, He Knows When You’re Awake, But He Didn’t See That Light Pole, So His Leg Now Has A Break
If Santa has a harder time than usual getting down your chimney this Christmas, this might be why. Gerard Krokus, an experienced skydiver, was helping Santa deliver the Elf named Kristoff to a nine-year-old girl while flying in toys to the Beach Bums Operation Santa Charity Volleyball Tournament on Saturday. In the video you can …
