K.A.C. 2011 - T - 23 ...

      Happy Friday! I knew if I waited long enough, somebody somewhere would uncover some holiday Internet Gold! This year's winner comes to us from Palm Beach Gardens, Florida ... "Hey, kids, let's cheer on Santa as he rappels from the upper tiers of the Mall to his throne for pictures! YAY!"

    It all went well in the practice run ... which I might mention was NOT done in a full Santa suit and beard ... let's say that again: NOT in a full Santa suit ... and BEARD ...
Thankfully it was all caught on video and you can see Santa's infamous entrance. Hey, be grateful YOU aren't the parent having to explain what just happened to Santa!

     We wrap up the work week with another odd holiday short entitled 'Christmas Rhapsody' ... imagine August Strindberg as a depressed tree in the forest (which may be the weirdest thing I've written this whole month) and what happens to him ... the narration is so compellingly awful you can't tear yourself away! Do not watch this too many times, or you, too will feel "small and of no account"!

     Speaking of Strindberg, I'm a BIG fan of the 'Strindberg and Helium' shorts ... here's three of the best with the always-depressed August S. and his wonderfully cheerful balloon buddy! First we have S & H 'At the Beach' - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lw8ctJTF1ZY


     Next, 'At Home with the Kids' - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t0k8Ey30GLU&feature=related

      And last (but far from least) we have "Smooth-Move" Strindberg with his wingman Helium in 'Absinthe and Women'! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dt3vYWZFxK0&feature=related   

      There's plenty more where these came from, all guaranteed to bring a smile to your face when it's full of "Mis-er-eee!" :)


     Check in with us over the weekend for more!
