Two For Flinching!
Part I: Friday's Feast
Friday's Feast, 9 December 2005.
Appetizer Name something you'll miss about 2005.
My daily treks to campus, especially when the weather is nasty.
Yeah, right. ;)
Soup What is one thought that went through your mind today?
I hope Aaron's present gets here today so I can send the lot off to Colorado in time for Christmas.
Salad On a scale of 1-10 with 10 being highest, how compassionate would you say you are?
I don't know, 7? 8? 6? I'm told I'm pretty gentle and understanding, but I also know I can do better.
Main Course If you could invent something, what would it be?
A practical automobile that burns junk mail as fuel.
Dessert Do you prefer salty snacks or sweet treats?
Definitely sweet treats. Stupid dental work!

Part II: Top Five on Friday
Top Five on Friday from The Music Memoirs:
In honor of the first major snow storm of the year...
Top Five "Winter" Songs
» Joy to the World by Bruce Mitchell
I always play this song at the first snowfall of the year.
» Boat Drinks by Jimmy Buffett
"Twenty degrees and the hockey game's on / Nobody cares they are way too far gone / Screamin' boat drinks, something to keep 'em all warm."
» High County Snows by Dan Fogelberg
Soothing, like a quiet snowfall.
» A Hazy Shade Of Winter by Simon & Garfunkel
No explanation necessary, I trust.
» The Suicide Song by Bobbi Joy
This is not a real song, at least not that I know of. It's taken from the short story "The Law of Conservation of Pain", published in Spider Robinson's Callahan's Crosstime Saloon. Read it, you'll understand.
Alternately, I could just recommend Lana Lane's Winter Sessions CD. All the songs on it mention winter in some fashion.

Thanks, Curtis. I wouldn't know of The Suicide Song without you, after all.
And I wouldn't go around using "google" as a verb, especially in public. You could get arrested...or get Homeland Security after you....

Is the movie A Christmas Story?

A Christmas Story is a good guess, and the line is probably in there (I haven't seen it in a while), but that's not what I had in mind.
Think animation.

Atlantis is correct. Leave it to the woman with all the kids (five, including Bill, right?) to get it.
