Being Careful What You Wish For
Posted by Doug S on December 28, 2007
My brother “gave” me my Christmas present this evening. Not a present really, other than that of time, but that’s good too.
He had told me on Christmas day that he wanted to watch something in particular with me. Something that we, as brothers, could bond over.
What he didn’t realize, and I couldn’t have forseen, was that he gifted me with my warm-down lap I was complaining about the other day.
“How so?” you might ask. Simple. He had located the Star Wars Holiday Special, in its unholy entirety, online. This show is a thing of myth. Legendary in its fecal prowess. The kind of thing that prisoners in Guantanamo are subjected to when waterboarding doesn’t prove to be successful.
In short, it’s a painful piece of dreck that George Lucas wishes had never been produced. And with good reason.
Feel free to watch the first few minutes (or the whole thing if you’re a masochist), and keep in mind that the breakneck pacing in the first 10 minutes is kept up throughout the whole of the show.
For those of you also requiring a holiday warm-down lap, enjoy!
