Today is Poisoner’s Day.

We watched You Better Watch Out last night, repackaged by Troma as Christmas Evil, and it was great.  It’s better than Silent Night, Deadly Night - cheaper, uglier, stupider, and with a much better ending for all you Christmas-haters out there.  You really feel for the guy, and his apocalyptic spurts of violence are understandable.  My only complaint is that they shied away from the very obvious naughty-child-murdering compulsion the main character labored under - the death toll is, in fact, surprisingly scant. But his rad Santa van makes up for it.

The “Killer Santa Claus” keyword led me to this movie, which looks fun, too.

Oh man, I’m sitting here eating bread and it is so delicious.  My friend Dan, among other weird things, grinds his own wheat. So over Thanksgiving I got him a sack of raw wheat berries down at the Amish store in Elkin.  And Dan, being a stand-up guy, brought us a loaf of his bread last night to say thanks.  This was bread still warm from the oven, made with wheat ground that morning. Chances are good you have never had this.  To say it was fantastic is a slap in the face to fantastic things everywhere - it was transcendent.

Here’s a cool video from America’s first brush with Fascism, made even cooler by the secret identity of man #2, the exterminator.  See if you can tag him and then scroll down to the comments to see if you are right.

Check out Deadland, an eight-part radio drama I wrote for the Olivet Radio Theater in college.  Episode 5 is my favorite.   I’m not sure what to say about it - it is what it is and we did it live - but I love radio drama and listening to this makes me want to do it again with awesome people and quality gear. Who’s in?

This article is fascinating.

I love this kind of Web archeology.

Yeah, that’s right, I said blood moth.

(Shudder)

I just found out that my grandparents (well, my grandpa with two votes) did not, in fact, vote for John McCain in Florida.   They voted for Ron Paul!  This makes me really happy.  Let’s hope many, many far right wing Floridians follow suit.

I would be glad to be embarrassed for you.

Early and often.  I voted on Tuesday and it felt pretty damn good.
