Holiday Laziness and Stream-of-Consciousness Youtubing

Personally, I'm ready to pack it in for the holidays. All I want to do is post some videos while eating cookies, preferably wearing sweatpants and sipping on some hot-chocolate-and-rum. 

Fortunately the Mythbusters do not share my laziness. They made an elaborate holiday-themed Rube Goldberg machine.

I'm so attached to the Mythbusters. Every time Jamie snaps at Adam I cringe, or when Grant displays his enormous nerditude I'm ashamed/proud, just as if they were my real family. (Just kidding, family! Love ya! See ya soon!) 

This reminds me of a very cool Rube Goldberg machine.

But I'm supposed be thinking about the holidays, not about cars. Linus?

The fact that you can buy Charlie Brown pathetic trees at Urban Outfitters does not take away from the sweetness of that video. That's impressive. 

It also reminds of me of this, which is slightly less sweet, but much more hilarious — and applicable to everyday life.

That's all I've got. Don't forget to watch this again. It only gets funnier. And if you're still struggling to find the perfect gift, just remember step one: Cut a hole in the box.

The part where we don’t thank the Academy

I just wanted to take a second to thank everyone who voted for TiFaux for the Weblog awards.  We faced insurmountable odds and even though we were unable to, um, surmount them, we went down swinging.  Which is just the way TiFaux would go down if we were all bareknuckle boxers.

So, I'd like to extend a hug and an affectionate pat on the ass to everyone who took the time to vote.  I'd also like to offer an unexpected European double cheek kiss to everyone who voted every day.  An uncomfortably lingering hug with full hip contact to everyone who voted from more than one computer.  An intimate slow dance to Kelly Clarkson's "A Moment Like This" to everyone who linked to us or told their friends to vote.

Fifth place isn't so bad, especially when you're still kind of flabbergasted to be nominated in the first place.
