Slaughterhouse Christmas Special - Epic Meal Time
Absolute proof that a man needs a woman in his life ... eventually.
UPDATE: To the women whom have written saying this is gross and disgusting: Please read what I wrote! Men need women ... or they turn out like this! I think it was Woody Allen who said that without women, men are pigs. Of course. he also said that women were insane without men!

Memory Lane
While looking under my bed for a dropped pen, I discovered some CDs I had forgotten even existed. As I was about to run some errands, I grabbed one put it in my car’s CD player and took off.
Here come old flattop he come grooving up slowly
He got joo-joo eyeball he one holy roller …
The Beatles and Abbey Road: Man, did that bring back memories.
Almost 30 years ago, I was in England taking exams to see if I could qualify to study for a degree from Cambridge. There was a break between written exams and I was sitting around with a few of the professors.
Prof: So, Monte, if you knew you were going to be stranded on an island for years and years what 2 albums would you like to have with you?
M3: Wow … that means there would be electricity! (No laughter.) Okay. Two albums ... hmmmmm … Beethoven’s 9th and Abbey Road.
Prof: (Gulping) Abbey Road?
M3: I love it. It brings back great memories.
Prof: (Raised eyebrows) I found some of the lyrics a bit cheeky.
M3: Cheeky?
Prof: Her Majesty's a pretty nice girl
Someday I'm going to make her mine??????
M3: So you HAVE listened to it?!?!?
When we went back to exams, he told me that the conversation was also part of the interview.
Yes, I was accepted but never attended.
The next day, after walking around London for 10 hours, I went back to my hotel room and who was being interviewed on BBC TV? Paul McCartney! An obvious sign from heaven.
What two albums/CDs would you choose?

This is Not That
“A” is not “B”
Kindness is not weakness
Niceness is not kindness
Friendliness is not friendship
Facts are not the truth
Talking is not communicating
Potential (“having promise”) is not performance
Preferences are not convictions
Faith is not magic
Failure is not final
Impartiality is not indifference
Calm is not peace
Confidence is not competence
Procrastination is not patience
Charity is not compulsory
Ignoring the faults of others is not “believing the best”
Running from death is not seeking after life
"Christmas is not your birthday"
