Mariah and the Subtle Burn
by Steve West on December 26, 2021
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.
Me: I know what she means, I was making a joke so don't overanalyze and ruin it.
Brenda: Don't ruin my song.

I've been to this site a few dozen times without considering linking to it. But a picture they posted really cracked me up because it, once again, reminded me of my Carolina cousins, rednecks all. Anyway the picture I'm referring to is called redneck Barbies and they remind me of a favorite pair of cousins of mine, Rodney and Looler. Go »

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