Silver Pole

Today, December 15th, is the first-ever (as far as I know) Reveal Your Blog Crush Day, instituted by the prolific Ms. Sizzle. Click here to view the guidelines.

I am honored to have been mentioned by the lovely Mz. Circe. And to have been named Traveling Chica’s 2006 Male Blog Crush! Thanks, gals. The blog love is reciprocated. You are two of my favorites, as you can probably tell from your site meters.

Last night, I thoroughly enjoyed The Office hour-long Christmas special, which I had been looking forward to way more than I should. Some quotes:

“I marked her arm.”

“Permission to join the Validity Committee?”

“It’s a bold move to Photoshop yourself into a picture with your girlfriend and her kids on a ski trip with their real father. But then again, Michael’s a bold guy. Is bold the right word?”

“We’re going to Asian Hooters.”

“Bro’s before ho’s.”

“You have been compromised. Abort mission. Destroy phone.”

I’ve also begun to compose some songs for Festivus. Now, before you get too excited, I need to tell you that while the lyrics are mine, I kind of ripped off the tune.

Also, to add to the madness, I’ve included a clip of yours truly singing the Festivus song! There’s no turning back now, babee! (Keep in mind I’ve had no formal vocal training. I’m more of, what you might call, a lyrical stylist.) But without further adieu, I present:

A Festivus song by Bone.

Silver Pole
(Words by Bone. Sing to the tune of Silver Bells, pretty much.)

all these worksheets
grievance worksheets
lined with blanks yet to fill
in the air there’s a feeling of terseness
there’ll be laughing
people shouting
maybe a marriage will end
and in the midst of the room, you will see

it’s festivus in the city

soon it will be festivus

there’ll be meatloaf
maybe pizza
at the festivus meal
after grievances aired hearts are heavy
then it’s time for
feats of strength, it’s
frank costanza’s big scene
festivus won’t be o’er till someone’s pinned
