dropo, you're _still_ the laziest man on mars.

andrew m. said...: always a holiday must, and one of the few silent joys of this awkward season. the "radar box" can always coax a smile..

this year i got into the 1959 mexican classic "santa claus" - which may be the most glorious mangling of the story of old saint nick on record. santa lives in a castle in space - with merlin the magician - and does battle with the minions of satan (via dangerous children's toys and interpretive dance) in order to save christmas. no elves here - the toys are made by (what appear to be)child laborers representing all the nations of earth - and they're roused to their tasks by santa - who plays and organ/light up chalkboard.

it's glorious.

will have to throw on SCCTM before bed tomorrow night. that oughta draw the fat man in red to my pad for sure.

happy seasons merry holidays christmas greetings.; 7:19 AM
