Jump on the Holiday Season
- Be the first person in 1996 to mass-forward that naughty version of “The Night Before Christmas” to everyone on the planet with an e-mail account.
- Shop door-to-door in a Santa suit with an empty sack and a .38 Special.
- Spend the weekend drunk on egg nog and weeping to “It’s a Wonderful Life” just to get it over with.
- E-mail apologies in advance for your behavior at the upcoming office holiday party.
- Send away now for your blowup Janet Reno before she resigns and they become a collectors’ item.
- That perfect holiday pick-me-up: hot cocoa and amphetamines!
- Send out that bid on the mistletoe contract for the Army Drill Seargents’ Christmas party.
- Make sure Gore can handle things for a few hours, then declare a state of emergency at Victoria’s Secret and do some “personal shopping.”
- Put the Suicide Prevention Hotline in your speed dial to avoid a repeat of last year’s drunken New Year’s Eve 411 fiasco.
- This year, spatulas for everyone!
- Inject lard directly into ass, thus bypassing lengthy digestive processes.
- Just sit back, turn on the Home Shopping Network, and order the next 20 or 30 items.
- Practice co-dependent passive-agressive guilt-projecting behavior so you’ll be ready for Round One of the annual Family Feud.
- Exchange “favors” with the Wal-Mart cart-boy to get inside info on when the Brut Holiday Gift Sets arrive.
And the Number 1 Way to Get a Jump on the Holiday Season…
- Address box to Miss Pamela Anderson, scrawl “I want you bak huney, (singed) Tommy Lee”, add *lots* of postage, strip nude except for Santa hat, climb in, seal firmly from inside, and wait.
