Bah, Humbuggery!

'Tis the season...

...to be annoyed.

Again.

Besides the other annoyances at this time of year that really - and I mean REALLY - screw up our business schedule, we have to endure annoying television commercial loops (i.e. certain ads that endlessly repeat themselves during commercial breaks).

Last year it was Dr. Dre pitching the latest in music technology for personal computers that featured him in this getup:


I sort of understand the necessity of the Kevlar-type vest to protect his innards from melting due the excessive amount bass emitting from the sub-woofers on the wall, but really...a nut-cup? On his face?  What, if anything, does that have to do with music?

Speaking of music, I am utterly annoyed at the increasing bastardization of Christmas songs in commercial advertisements.   Mind you, this year there is one that makes me chuckle.  I'm sure you've all heard it and I'm certainly not the first to point it out, but when you have a rather attractive brunette dancing around in a pink dress with numerous elves - of both genders - with pink hair and all you hear is, "...walking in an 'orgy' wonderland", it kinda of makes you think about what is actually being promoted, no?

I don't judge.  I just wonder.

Happy Holidays everyone!

Yeah, I Be Jumpin' On Santa's Sleigh, too!

A Bahamian Christmas Carol
(sung to the tune of "Chestnuts Roasting On an Open Fire")

Tourists roasting on the ocean's beach,
White sands warming up their toes,
Surfside drinks are always in reach
Dissolving all of their thoughts of snow.

Everybody knows pineapple juice and some coconut,
With some rum makes a tasty island brew.
There will be parties here and some over there, but
Don’t forget to visit Junkanoo.

But wherever you may find yourself on this day,
Be it in temps from 80 to -42,
Its been said many times and in many ways,
A very Merry Christmas to you.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

However and wherever you celebrate,

Merry Christmas Everyone!
