RadGuy 1,614 Posted December 21, 2015 As of Friday afternoon, I'm on Christmas break. 2 weeks off is just what I need to re-charge my batteries. For Christmas Eve (Poles along with many other European ethnic groups celebrate mainly on that day), I'm going to my aunt's house. I'm pretty pissed, actually. Her husband's family is going to be there, and they're such WHITE TRASH. For Christmas, I'd love to stay in my pajamas all day... Merry Christmas everyone! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YoungWillz 21,035 Posted December 23, 2015 I'm thinking there's still time to do one more list on an appropriate thread. I've done Bond Villains, Columbo Murderers, Rowan and Martin Laugh In Stars etc etc. Anyone like me do one more as a special Christmas gift? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And of course it depends what side of the Pond you're on but yes, Springsteen and McCartney and Chip Davis (aka Fresh Aire/Mannhiem Steamroller), George Michael and Mariah need to go post haste.
