Recent conversation with Brenda (after hearing All I Want for Christmas... again):
Me: Mariah Carey beginning with "I don't want a lot for Christmas..." and then revealing she wants "you" is kind of a burn,
Brenda: She could mean that she doesn't want a lot of other gifts and only wants her man friend.

Brenda: Don't ruin my song.

She was covered in a blanket up to her neck, and as her eyes barely fluttered open and she saw me standing over her caressing her cheek, I said, "Baby, something went wrong and they had to remove your whole body.

Dear Miriam...
Oh, thank you Miriam, that's great advice. BTW this letter is indeed a spoof of the "Dear Miriam" column in The Daily Mirror that appeared in the satirical publication Viz. Pretty damn funny, though. Go »

Now that's a burn. Can I just use your profile photo as my yule log video this year? :-)
