Never met anyone who likes the Star Wars Christmas special. Especially those involved. Andy Dick probably hates himself. Westboro Baptist Church help the NAACP and KKK find common ground. Illinois Nazis. ---

Hold music which, rather than being a digital recording and therefore relatively incorruptible, is played on a tape spool that was recorded back in 1978 by a has-been elevator musak electric piano player, and the tape is so old and broken-down that it sounds like the theme some from some numbers broadcast crossed with a heavy metal dentist office. Oh, and, too loud. ---
