Today's Christmas Video

LOLcats meet Karl Marx on December 25th. Do watch out, as the video starts without your clicking on anything and it will repeat if you let it...

Today's English Obituary

For those who watch the BBC, wherever you are, you may be familiar with the series Last of the Summer Wine, which has had many characters up and die on it. Well, Nora Batty, a.k.a. Kathy Staff, has died at the age of 80. She is the battle-axe with whom Compo (Bill Owen) always waged a battle for a kiss.

While I haven't watched in ages, I'm certain that 3/4 of England is in mourning tonight for Nora and her wrinkled stockings.

May she rest in peace and rise in unwrinkled-stockinged glory.

"Dawn Bucket" is the pen name of the local columnist for the Marblehead Reporter, an institution in the Old Town. Her column this week mentions the predicament of two people from Great Britain who got lost in Marblehead. Much Hilarity in the Marsh.
