What does it mean when whenever you post, you're the last one and no one posts after you and if they do, your comment is not even acknowleged?

Calico, I think we were watching the same game. Only I didn't think of it as the !#%^ Eagles game.....I thought of it as the awesome Giants game. =)

Sorry-I really try to never gloat when it comes to the NFC east: we've just got too tough a division, and on any given day......

That's alright Marshmallow, gloat if you like, it's all good.

Just realize that I watched the &^%$# Eagles game after watching the &^%$# Penn State game Saturday night and the &^%$# Saints game Sunday afternoon. Talk about a triple whammy.

I'm exhausted just thinking about that.

All we need is about 75 posts a day and we can hit it by next Thanksgiving.

We can do this.....so how do I get a gravitar anyway?

"Beanzer, I'm a twin mom too! Fun, aren't they?"

oh yeah, two two year olds...real fun! ;) just kidding they are happy2bhere how old are yours? Are they your only children? Are they boys, girls, one of each? I also have a son.

Congrats Christine! I went to a tricky tray in Sparta (kids were allowed - so I took my daughter) - We didn't win anything : (
I hope Beanzer won!

i am SO in the mood for peanut M&M's right now.

Christine,
You want to know what's funny? We were all at the American Girl Doll store in NYC the Thursday of teacher's convention and I told my husband, "They have Bitty Babies and the Bitty Twins, we'll stick with those and the accesories, but I don't want to get started on the American Girl Dolls." And, you're right, I told him at breakfast, "Now, we'll have to get another one so they each have one!" Well, at least this one will be in the closet for a long time 'till they're old enough play with it! :)
Beanzer

The beauty of this thread IS the dribble.

Do you mean drivel (inane conversation) as opposed to dribble (what a teething baby does)?

Or dribble (what a basketball player does)?

Oh, yeah, it's drivel. Isn't it great?!

And, apropos of the subject of this thread, what does it mean when you start a thread criticizing a cross burning in Warren County and no one responds? Maybe the tone of my post was not clear, or maybe no one knows me yet, so no one felt comfortable responding?

Until the leadup to the election, SNL hadn't been relevant for at least 5 years, IMHO.

I saw your post on the cross incident, normally I would comment on that, but those topics seem to bring the ugly and racist comments out from some of the people who post on the site. This thread is a get away from all that BS thread. Also welcome to HL and this thread, although you'll be sorry that you got sucked in here lol

Whose making the keg run???????

only 10 more now....Hopeful, Clyde is right....it sucks you in and you cant stop...but it is FUN Welcome!

RE: SNL, I happen to think that Amy Pohler is hilarious. Did you see her do the Sarah Palin rap? She was pretty out there, and with Palin herself sitting there raising the roof. There's a recent one re-running right now... it's true, they're milking the pre-election shows...Tina Fey is fabulous.

I made her a card with a picture of a bunch of dandelions she gave me when she was younger and put it in her scrapbook - saying something along the lines of "if I could bring you as many blessings as you've brought me flowers" or something like that.

Do you think we can get to 700 today? It's definitely an in-the-house kind of day for me...

Anyhoo, SueB and Happy, I don't know about the weird gravatar problem, but it probably has to do with the browser you're reading through. I use IE and I have never seen Happy's candle -- only the flowers in her little girl's hand.

What I did notice is that Hockeymom's prior two posts, the first has no gravatar and the second has that sort of purpley triangle face thing that is connected to most of her posts.

Also, Happy, I am looking forward to Christine telling us at which upcoming HH she'll be doing her Beyonce-like act.

Hey, who's your fav comedian? I gotta say Mitch Hedberg really makes me laugh so does mitch fatel. My fav classic is eddie murphy delirious.

Salt- cool ranch doritos or cashews
sweet - peanut butter cups or choc cake and milk or double stuffed oreos and milk.

Extreme makeover makes me cry, EVERYTIME i hate it. Worse than Little House On the Prarie.

I grew in next to M&M's!

Hi everyone........missed alot today I see

All-time favorite comedian from the old school would have to be Don Rickles (go figure, lol).

From my youth would be Richard Pryor with an honorable mention for Eddie.

Nowadays, Ron White is always good for a laugh and I've seen Artie Lange half a dozen times as well.

I forgot Rodney Dangerfield... he's gotta be up there too.

What is wrong with us??? George Carlin, ALL TIME favorite.

You guys remember Steven Wright? He cracks me up. And there's nothing like Steve Martin's album, "Let's Get Small." A comedy classic.

And, of course, ianimal, there's Bob and Doug McKenzie, eh?

No way why mess up a good thing

750 Only need 250 to the superbowl

OK - to keep it going a bit while I wait for my clothes to finish drying - for comedians:

Jeff Dunham - he was on comedy central tonight and my dog kept jumping on me since I couldn't help but keep laughing nearly the whole show,

Chris Rush (manic humor - I have an Lp from the 80's that's crazy! http://laughstore.stores.yahoo.net/noname2.html

George Carlin - I saw him come out once and just stand there, every so often changing expressions and stances and the crowd went nuts with every move

Charlie Chaplin, Harold Lloyd and Buster Keaton (including his Twilight Zone appearance).

Red Skelton, Jackie Gleason, Art Carney, Lucille Ball, Bill Cosby - early years of the lps, Arlo Guthrie

Abbot and Costello!!!

Did anyone else notice that many modern sitcom trace their roots back to "The Honeymooners" and if not that, then "The Lucy Show"??? "Family Matters", one of my favorites took from both.

First today to say "Good Morning."

good morning everyone...man the night crew was busy....

Holy crap!!! You guys were busy last night.

Phil D. is your last name Basket?

done with conference calls for the day, Wahoo!!!

about to start some laundry....quick question do you wash your fruit (apples, oranges) if you are going to peel and eat it? I love this thread...great for questions that aren't worthy of a top post!

yes, because if you are peeling in your hand and your hand touches the peel and then touches the inside of the fruit you can cross the germs that way. So yes

That's what I figured...I always wash fruits and vegetables...

It's afternoon already !! This day is going waaay to fast....Hope everyone is having a good day....

I would wash both hands and peel...not only crossing germs but the insecticides may end up on your hands then on the fruit

Hello By the way !

oooooo 777 I hope that brings me luck too !!1

My Brother's neighbors have their Xmas Tree up already.

The Griswolds on Arthur Terrace were hard at work yesterday, lol... no offense, if Clark is a regular on here. It's a nice display, if slightly over the top (-;

Okay, there's a pet peeve of mine (for the Cranky thread). Why put up Xmas decorations before Thanksgiving? In the old days, it was random when they went up, but it was certainly after Thanksgiving. Then, they stayed up until Little Christmas, Jan. 5th or 6th, when the three kings came. Something like that. I forget my religious history.

I am generally opposed to putting decorations before the intervening holiday. But then again, I like candles in the windows all year, and maybe people don't like that.

Love candles in the windows all year...cept my cat was knocking them off the sills to get into the windows....LOL I agree lest not rush things! One holiday at a time

Speaking of "slightly over the top" decorations - have any of you ever seen the guy in Dover off Mt. Hope Ave???

All I can say is wow to the place in Dover. My daughter and I went last year. Not a place to park on the street but def. worth the ride around a few times. There was a past thread about decorations last year I believe.anyone??

My dad always puts his lights up before Thanksgiving before it gets too cold. He doesn't turn them on though. As for us....we don't put any up, BAH HUMBUG!

BT Resident although the Dover house is nice its MINOR LEAGUE compared to the Elvis House in Mahwah. I have been there a number of times and it is unbelievable. Here's a link to see pics

Here's something I noticed (aka TRIVIA!!!) that I've never seen anyone mention.

While I work on Newburgh Rd., there is also a Newburg Rd. (no "H") in town, not only that, but it's connected to the other Newburgh Rd. If you look at the road sign at the "Walgreens" intersection, you'll notice that while the side going from rt. 57 towards Grand is Allen rd., the other side is marked "Newburg" (No "H").

However, on the other side of that same road where it meets Schooley's Mt. Rd. you'll find that the sign reads "Newburgh" (with an "H"). I once saw the map of Hackettstown in the Post Office next to the Postmaster's Door (before it was taken down during the construction) and that map showed it without an "H".

I think that as soon as you cross the river onto the Morris county side, the road name changes to reflect that. I don't think the house that was torn down where Walgreen's is now had a Newburg address, but had the mailbow on Rt 57, but I'm not sure.

Does anyone know if Allen Rd. was renamed from Newburgh Rd. to begin with?

Just an odd thing I wondered about.

Wow, how am I typing this when I'm kicking a field goal???

I must be exceptionally talented. Oh wait, my last name isn't "Dawson". Yes, Erik's page is quite interesting, including his weblog and education and work. Quite a fellow I presume.

I never noticed the Newburgh Road sign issue, and I don't know the history there at all. Although I've often noticed spelling errors on road signs on the same street. Of course, I can't think of any examples right now.

Unfortunately, the Bills missed their own shot at a game-winning field goal -- a shorter one than yours, Phil -- so they lost.

Just saw this woman on Letterman talking about how she got attacked by a fox in a canyon (out west, I believe) -- crazy story.

Hmm. Usually foxes don't attack people unless they have rabies or you're trying to get it to come to you so you can feed it.

I'd be nervous about Mountain Lions out in the west. Now that'll ruin an afternoon hike!

Yeah, she said it was rabid. She said it smelled of skunk and the animal control person said the fox might have been feeding on a dead skunk.

Okay, now there's some gross late-night stuff. I guess that's why she was on Letterman...

Hi everybody. I'm getting a late start this morning. Yesterday we had 178 posts so hitting 1000 today should be a piece of cake. You gotta love the team effort!

Quick story if you have time. I was here at work and it kept saying my post wasn't long enough. Then after I posted I saw it went over 1000 on the forum list. When I tried to get access back to this topic the filter at work blocked it. So I didn't know if I was 1000 or someone else. A few hours later and here I am.

Here is one to help you guys get to 2000.
And it is a HE lol

Stay safe good night and buckle up.

Here's the wikipedia link about Rick Astley and "Rick Rolling"

When the thread reached 1000, did anyone else have balloons, and confetti fall from their ceiling out of nowhere? Or was it just at my house?

BF tried to post in this thread the other night. He typed his comment, changed the name from Calico696 to his "handle" and changed the e-mail address from mine to his in order to have his own gravatar that he made. He kept getting an error saying that he could not post because someone else had posted from the same computer. Does he then need to use my e-mail address instead of his? If so, then he can't have his own gravatar? Not sure of these answers....anyone know.

Yes, he can have his own gravatar and post under his own name. However, you can't both post to the same thread from the same computer. You can post in separate threads though.

1,000 posts in 8 days is 125 posts per day... feel the burn, people.

Thanks for the info....that stinks!!!

Let's go people... this thread isn't going to extend itself. Three hours lost... we need to pick it up if we're gonna get to 2008 for Turkey Day.

Yikes, glad he's not my husband...no offense Sue.

Sound like BF, he's very cheap (more so with himself than towards me or his family). His favorite saying is "if it's free it's for me".

I think we can definitely get to 2K by T-giving. We had 100 posts in less than 12 hours a couple of times over the weekend didn't we?

Regarding the Seinfeld and Superman question: My friend is one of the most learned Seinfeldists I know. He says that Superman is not referenced in every episode -- he's not sure how many, but it's certainly fewer than 10. I hope he'll be getting back to me on this.

That's all I've got off of the top of my head, but I'll bet i'm missing a couple, so...w.a.g.: 6.

Criminal Minds and Law and Order.

Lets see I had a better day finally got heat in the store. Been out since the famous snow storm.

Did some window decorating but just couldnt put the tree up.

So I do need some advice.

Lets take a poll. Do I decorate normal in my window. Tree and some lights etc. OR should I decorate with ALL my M&M collection.

Let the poll BEGIN!

Totally do the M&M thing.

Hi Cbel...and welcome to the night shift...get those fingers ready for typing tho !

Christine...I think the lights and all the M&M stuff....

Just went on Continental and airfare to Hawaii is less then $550 per person for a week. My friend lives over there. He says that businesses are really hurting and giving away stuff just to get some type of income in. Who wants to babysit two sometimes wonderful kids (for free)???

NEED more input people.................

calico... just heard on ESPN that Moose is calling it a career. Borderline Cooperstown, you'll have to wait and see.

that's 3 for M&Ms, Christine... maybe you should have your accountant handle this (-:

I think Puddy *was* in the sponge-worthy episode. He wasn't the guy Elaine was dating at the beginning, but I think they got back together toward the end of the episode.

However, a lot of my Seinfeld memories are "hazy", so take that with a grain of salt...

What number are we aiming for tonight? I want to make sure I do my part.

What I missed one got to go back and look! LOL!

OH I see I missed Calicos. It didnt show up when I counted. Dam filtering system.....:)

Oh by the way I counted my storage bins with my M&M collection. 12 lg bins, 4 sm bins 3 lg bins with Christmas M&M's. Think my window is big enough for all?

My store is Second Time Around 124 Main St. Near the Antique Dealers across from Dominoes.

Let me pose the question again for everyone if they are not reading.

I am not sure waht I should decorate my window in this year for the Holiday. Should I do normal decorations, tree with ornaments etc. or I was thinking my M&M collection with a tree.

Vote now!

Wasn't Puddy also in the episode where the dentist Tim Watley had the party? He was wearing a fur coat and his "job" was to keep Jerry away from the music.

The coat got thrown out the window and Newman found it in a tree and gave it to the landlord's wife... then Jerry had to pretend it was his and he also had the "European carry-all" (purse) and the landlord thought he was a fancy-boy, lol... great episode.

According to my count there is 4 for M&M's and 1 for regular Christmas...My vote for lights and M&ms counts doesn't it?

I would like to see a window decorated very simply, with a Christmas tree, and maybe some Christmas music extending outside. Elegence and reverance in simplicity.

I figured Moose would retire. Being under 300 in wins might hurt his chance at the Hall.

ianimal, that is definitely one of the Puddy episodes. My friend has not gotten back to me yet RE: sponge worthy.

We could aim for 1200 tonight; we're gonna get to 1150 for sure.

In the long run Christine it is YOUR store. Decorate it the way you want to. I am sure there is nothing ho hum about your traditional Christmas window at all. In this day and age There is alot to be said for going back to traditional ways. Keeping that in mind....some Christmas M&Ms peeking around the tree or whatever would be cute too !

Hi Hope and thanks for responding. I was starting to think I was invisible....it has been mostly Seinfeld here tonight and I cant contribute to that....

I am also making my grandmother's secret recipe for ............oh wait...it's a secret I cannot tell....It will take me most of the weekend tho. IF I have time I am going to make a batch of cookies. Since the family will be here the beginning of the week I need to have stuff for everyone to eat and not just for Thanksgiving !

Has anyone checked out the Puppycam yet?

http://cdn1.ustream.tv/swf/4/viewer.4....swf?cid=317016

Live feed of 6 puppies in California...they are so cute. Apparently this is an internet sensation. My friend forwarded me the link the other day, they are adorable. It's fun to check in at different times during the day to see them sleeping and playing.

Geek mode on.

The 3 numbers that make up my birthdate are all prime numbers (only when using the two-digit form of the year). Is this true for anyone else and can you do me one better by having the 4-digit year a prime number as well?

You would need to have been born in one of the following years for this to be possible: 1901 1907 1913 1931 1933 1949 1951 1973 1979 1987 1993.

Geek mode off.

Thanks for the feed of the puppies. I heard that it won't be there much longer as they have all been adopted. Checking it out now!

Huh??? That type of math is not my strong point. I prefer the puppies....no brainer :)

the puppies all ran out of their "box" LOL my luck...as for the math...way tooo early for me

ianimal? Your asking a guy who sees a large Green light in the sky last night, that kept changing colors, from green to yellow, then purple, to figure that out lol

If there is such a thing as Reincarnation, I want to come back as THEY. Because THEY seem to know everything and everyone listens to them

You know what THEY say?
THEY say its supposed to be cold today
THEY say this team should win
THEY say the food there is good

Sitting here chuckling...thanks Clyde..great thought!

There IS such a thing as reincarnation, Clyde. Anyone who sees big green lights in the sky (that keep changing colors, no less) surely can believe in it.

Just playing Devil's Advocate, cbel, where do all the extra souls come from?

Because there are a lot more people on the planet than there were even 50 years ago, let alone 3,000 years ago.

Prime months: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11

Prime dates: prime months plus 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31

Prime years: prime dates plus 37, 41, 43, 47, 53, 59, 61, 67, 71, 73, 79, 83, 89, 97

Now, everyone can play along (-;

ianimal: Don't try to confuse the issue with logic, my friend.

Uh you forgot a pretty significant prime number....

The number 1 itself.

Which also allows me to meet you prime birthdate criteria.

I came back after coffee ready to answer Ianimals ponder and he now has the hints....

All that thought on my part for nothing....LOL

Nope...no primes in mine

1 is not a prime number, by definition.

There you go, SueR.

Ummm.... sure, I suppose. But, it's odd that when people are hypnotized and regressed into past lives, they're always Napoleon or Alexander the Great, never a three-toed sloth.

I happen to be a Frisbyterian... I believe that when you die your soul goes up and gets stuck on a roof somewhere.

"But, it's odd that when people are hypnotized and regressed into past lives, they're always Napoleon or Alexander the Great, never a three-toed sloth"

Very similar line spoken by Kevin Costner in Bull Durham (one of my favorite movies).

Does anyone else have kids that's into that Twilight book series? I'm taking my daughter to the movie at midnight tonight...(ugh)..no sleep for me

The puppies are in full swing now.

Here's the link again...for those too lazy to scroll up ;-)

http://cdn1.ustream.tv/swf/4/viewer.4....swf?cid=317016

My birth month is a prime No. As for rincarnation anything is possible but the probability rates are not to great. If I could come back I don't have a clue of what I would like to be, I'm having enough trouble trying to figure this life out......

That would be Reincarnation see what I mean

This thread reminded me of one of the most beautiful books I've ever read about why we are here .. the Little Soul and the Sun,

We go on our yearly adventure to a local tree farm and cut one down....My son looks so forward to it...so do I! He is now old enough to take over the actual cutting as well as picking it out!

Maybe this will get everyone talking?

I go with the artificial tree being I will put it up next week and wont take it down until Jan. 15th. The reason, I LOVE CHRISTMAS!!!! Besides, I hate putting all the effort into decorating and then tearing it all down 3 weeks later, no way. I'm going to enjoy it!!!

Hi there! Hockeymom, this year we're doing an artificial tree for the first time -- we're traveling for part of the holidays, so it seems to be the safest option. Plus we got a dog this year, and I don't want to take the chance he's going to nibble and sip.

Ladybug, I don't know about artificials with extra lights -- maybe you could add some strands to really make it glow! We got our tree at a yard sale (I know, my fingers are crossed), so I don't know where to tell you to buy them. I might need the info, though, so keep us posted.

LOL, Ladybug, I read your post before I saw reggie's...

When I read "Anyone seen any really nice fake ones out there", my mind wasn't thinking about Christmas trees, lol

I get a real tree every year - and every year when I take it down and I'm cleaning up all the needles, I say "that's it! next year I'm getting a fake tree"! With that being said, I'll be getting a real one again this year.. I just never learn.

Wiht our fresh cut tree...we got out the weekend after THanksgiving and I have the tree up until the 15th with not one single needle dropping...you do have to water it every day and several times a day for the first few days but it is our tradition. I also have a small artifical one in the basement too.

I did see some very nice artificial ones at Target, but the lights are not enough for my liking.

In MY experience, the needles fall everywhere, my cats knock it down on a regular basis, and I don't really have that green a thumb. I always kill the Christmas tree. :-( Not a good thing to have a dead tree come Christmas. BOO HOO!

I haven't had a tree for the last 2 years. Probably won't get one this year either. Just seems like too much trouble.

Plus the cost of decorations etc. cuts into our beer money...LOL!

OMG I cant remember the questions by the time I read all the posts.

INMCB yes last time I checked I did have those lights.

Last night BF was watching the puppy cam in the living room and I was in the kitchen. All of a sudden I heard all this crazy, super loud puppy yipping. I ran in the living room to see what the heck was going on. Well, the lady came home from work and they were going crazy. She fed them and then played with them for a while. It was so cute how one by one they went to the bed and passed out until all six were sleeping...priceless.

city chick: I never considered that the daily count ends at midnight. I always count from first good morning post in the am till the last good night post.

Yesterday you opened with 1158 at 6:48 am and Hopeful closed with 1307 at 1:00 am.

I think I'm taking anal to a new level.

I bought some fresh pierogies at the Polish deli in P'burg last weekend and put some in the freezer. How long do homemeade pierogies keep in the freezer before their quality goes downhill?

Now, THERE's a line you wouldn't want taken out of context, lol...

You guys are amazing... somehow my eyes kept skipping over this thread but between yesterday and today i've read quite a bit and i'm impressed! Concerned about each of you but still impressed! ;)

In either case... HAPPY FRIDAY!!!!

cbel I never thought about it, but your way gives us more time....I think? Happy Friday hope it warms up.

Well, 24 hours is 24 hours no matter how you look at it. But I just like counting from first one up to last one to sign out.

raisin nut bran is bangin right now.

can't wait for my coffee.

I agree, cbel. We seem to start at about 6 am for the first post and 1 or 2 am for the last of the "day" -- give or take.

Of course, if we're all posting like crazy on Thanksgiving Day, then we ought to have our heads examined.

Oh, yeah, that should have happened a long time ago...I'm calling to make my appointment now. Maybe I'll start a new thread seeking good therapists in the area! Or you could just make your suggestions here.

If we break into teams, say 3 or 4 a team, and take one- or two-hour shifts, then we can all keep this going and we won't tick off our families.

VIAGRA is prescribed to treat erectile dysfunction (ED).
As with any ED tablet, in the rare event of an erection lasting more than 4 hours, seek immediate medical help

Seek medical help, if I am erect for more than four hours I am seeking THE ROCKETTS

The thing about Viagra is that you need to swallow it quickly; if you don't, you could wind up with a stiff neck.

The guy smiles and replies, "S.H.I.T."

The blonde rolls her eyes, and says, "Uh! T.G.I.F! You know...Thank GOD it's Friday!"

That's a good one Happy

In response to the original question, it may also mean that the Apocalypse has occurred, that you are the last human left alive on Earth, and that you must now try to establish contact with the space station to let them know, and ask if they can send down a ship to pick you up, the cost and expense of which you will be happy to pay.

Two blondes decided that this Christmas they wanted to cut down their own Christmas tree. So they drove two hours into the country and walked deep into the woods to find the perfect Christmas tree. They had planned the trip well, especially considering that they were blond. They were dressed warmly with boots, warm coats and hats. They had a chain saw, hatchet, a bag to protect the tree and rope to drag it back to their car. Every detail was covered.

They searched and searched. They had gone to all this trouble, nothing but the prefect tree would do. They searched for hours through knee deep snow and biting wind. Finally, five hours later with the sun beginning to go down, one blonde says to the other, "I can't take this anymore. I give up! There are hundreds of beautiful trees out here. Let's just pick one whether it's decorated or not!"

A blonde and a redhead met for dinner after work and were watching the 6 o'clock news. A man was shown threatening to jump from the Brooklyn Bridge. The blonde bet the redhead $50 that he wouldn't jump, and the redhead replied, "I'll take that bet!"

Anyway, sure enough, he jumped, so the blonde gave the redhead the $50 she owned. The redhead said, "I can't take this, you're my friend." The blonde said, "No. A bet's a bet."

So the redhead said, "Listen, I have to admit, I saw this one on the 5 o'clock news, so I can't take your money."

The blonde replied, "Well, so did I, but I never thought he'd jump again!"

Three blondes were walking through the forest when they came upon a set of tracks.

The first blonde said, "Those are deer tracks."
The second blonde said, "No, those are elk tracks."
The third blonde said, "You're both wrong, those are moose tracks."
The blondes were still arguing when the train hit them.

I see you all have been very busy today....Keep the laughs going...this is great. I am no good at jokes tho...

I will be able to post for a small part of the day on thanksgiving. I may even set up my laptop in the kitchen so I can check in during the day easier !

A guy decides to bring his new blonde girlfriend to a football game. After the game is over, he asks her if she liked the game.

She replies: "Oh it was great, I loved watching those men in tight clothes, but there is one thing I don't understand."

"What did you not understand ?"

And the blonde says: "Well, at the begginning of the game, both teams flipped a quarter to see who would kick off first. Then the rest of the game everybody was yelling get the quarter back, get the quarter back, get the quarter back. So I thought to myself, gosh it's just a quarter!"

So whats new guys. I went back and read. Funny jokes.

I start work at 6:30 and you can do anything if you need to. 1400 Yeah is right we will reach 2000 by thanksgiving right????

UH that should read 8pm.

I can handle being first to post, but I shouldn't have offered to stand in for Hopeful. I'm not night crew material. Anyone want to take over for me?

I won't be first next week I don't think but if I'm up I'll post I could never do the night crew thing. I generally wake up pretty early but I want to stay up late like a big girl....

Good news! The problem is resolved. Hockeymom, I had restarted, but I must have had some kooky thing blocking the bar. I just pressed a little harder than I normally would and it released. cbel, you are off the hook.

But the better news, of course, is that the day crew is awesome!!! Getting to 1400 from 1300 in 7 hours is an incredible feat. I am humbled. More days like this and we'll get to 2000 by Thanksgiving -- or at least on Thanksgiving.

However, the best news of all is how hilarious you people are. I'm not really one for blonde jokes, but some of these are priceless. I think I like the one about the football quarter toss the best.

Well, I think some of you are at the BF/Calico party, so maybe we'll *see* you later. I've a busy weekend (not home much during the days), but I'll do my best at night. I've got lots of work to do in the evenings, and it will have me tied to this infernal machine.

It is way toooo cold out tonight. It feels more like January. So is NOT at the party tonight?

I also have tons to get to this weekend but I am certain I will make time to get here as much as possible.

Welcome back, Hockeymom. It is totally cold -- I bet it was warmer in the rink this particular night:)

Clyde, I do love Prague, and I'm sure there's a joke that has "The Czech's in the mail" as the punchline, but I don't know it:)

I bet Happy or Calico or ianimal or cbel will know it, though. But, except for cbel, who could be sleeping by now, these other folks are all out having fun. Or making up more Viagra jokes. Those were pretty good, too.

I saw That! What Up?

Is Chris playing games again? LOL

I think we broke it.

Great idea, SueR.

I guess we will have to count manually - what is the last post that we definitely know the number... I'm thinking the 1000 post. we'll have to count from there and get to here and post the number - then tonight - start from here, count the posts, and put a total to start with tomorrow.. does anyone want to start counting?? lol

I (the anal lady) already started. Jill, you're 1468. I'll continue keep track and if anyone wants to do it as well to make sure I'm accurate, that would be great.

This manual counting job will definitely be a challenge, but I feel up to it. Wish me luck!

It's nice to know I'm good for SOMETHING!

So go ahead everyone. Post on! No post will go uncounted.

Our number is back, but there's a 20-point discrepancy. Chris says 1493 and I get 1473. I think I'm right but I'm sure not going back to post #1 to check.

Maybe I can be 1500

A little giggle for you - heheheee! ... Three men died on Christmas Eve and were met by Saint Peter at the pearly gates. ... 'In honor of this holy season' Saint Peter said, 'You must each possess something that symbolizes Christmas to get into heaven.' ... The man from Nova Scotia fumbled through his pockets and pulled out a lighter. He flicked it on. 'It represents a candle', he said. ... 'You may pass through the pearly gates' Saint Peter said. ... The man from Saskatchewan reached into his pocket and pulled out a set of keys. He shook them and said, 'They're bells.' ... Saint Peter said 'You may pass through the pearly gates'. ... The Newfoundlander started searching desperately through his pockets and finally pulled out a pair of women's panties. ... St. Peter looked at the man with a raised eyebrow and asked, 'And just what do those symbolize?' ... The Newfie replied, 'These are Carols.' ... And So The Christmas Season Begins......

Busy around my house all day. Still not done but had to add something here

I want my holiday shopping done by next week...I can't deal w/ the crowds.

I'm going to be one of those crazy people out at 4:00am on Friday.

#1528 for those still counting.

Cbel's abacus only goes up to 1500. Yeah, it's a pretty big abacus, I though the same thing.

I will probably be out also on Black Friday even though every year I say that I am not going to do it.

Hi Reggie. Actually, I threw my abacus over my balcony hours ago. Turns out, Chris's numbers are probably accurate. There was just so much stuff coming in last night that the program must have gotten overloaded, as did I this am.

BTW, I love your man-hunting technique. As long as the rocks you hit them with aren't the ones they crawled out from under.

It's funny what the website creator does - I tried to post yet, another joke after my two previous back-to-back posts and it wouldn't let me and had a message saying "let someone else have a chance" - very funny, Chris - ha, ha!

Anyway, I like your gravitar, Reggie (both of them actually - I'm a big fan of Reggie Jackson's)

Back from my busy day, and another one tomorrow. I see that we have decided not to worry about what the number is -- we'll let Chris play with our minds. We're getting "there" -- 2000 by Thanksgiving seems possible, with Chris's help:)

cbel, I know what you mean about this thing being addicting. I have work to do, but I came right to the forum first. It is fun just reading the crazy jokes and good ideas and interesting questions that people come up with, though.

Well, I'll be off and on for a little longer -- without cbel, someone will have to step up to the plate. I'm thinking city chick, who's on vacation from work, might have some extra time over the next few days! And certainly ianimal and Clyde will be back soon. And I've seen lots of people working hard today!!

Happy, that's a funny message from Chris. Reggie, I'm still seeing the woman eating the cupcake. I don't know what to call those acronyms you listed, although I've seen them called "initialisms" on Wikipedia (I know, not the most reputable of sources).

At this rate we may have to call in reinforcements -- you know, those little circle stickers you use to shore up the hole on lined notebook paper (the kind that goes into three ring binders)? It makes a new hole! Yeah, well, never mind...I think I'd better sign off for now.

The back and forth between Reggie and Ed has been interesting. I guess ianimal will back to work tomorrow and maybe Clyde will be back from his game. It's been kinda quiet without them.

Good morning -- that was an oddly long time for posting to have been disabled. I was hoping we'd get to 1650 last night.

The day has dawned and it will be a busy one. I kept my son home from school today. He is coughing all over the place, poor guy : (

I hope everyone has a good Monday....

I hope your two feel better too. Thanks It is rough for them too. I know my son wants to feel better. This is the once a year visit that we all look forward to so much!

Sorry for all the sick kids! Good luck parents.

Well, I feel better. 1650. Bye for now.

good morning everyone...I'm going xmas shopping today I'm off all week so I thought I'd try and get most of it done...Of course I will have to buy some presents for me not to many can't afford it. Hope everyone has a good day I'll check in later.

Hey, everybody... happy Monday, even though it's practically Wednesday,if you're an optimist.

Went to a wedding Friday night... greatest wedding favor ever (even though you all hate them): a small (200 mL) bottle of Pear-flavored Grey Goose with a label that said "Bride and Groom, The Perfect Pair"

Sure beats a corkscrew, lol...

Was anyone else awaken last night night by that bad thunder storm?

Hey you guys are a hoot...keep it going!!!
Let's get Hackettstown on the map for the wildest
posters on the east coast...BTW what storm??? Must
have been fun at Clyde's house last night LOL.

Good morning everyone!

I still feel sick. I am vitamin C'd out.

Had to resort to taking Nyquil.

UGH! I still have to go to work. LOL!

Too Funny Sue R....My son is one of the aforementioned sick kids. He is upstairs sneezing and coughing....I am busy cleaning up after his little coughs and sneezies...LOL I will never be ready for my company starting tomorrow. Good thing they uderstand that we actually live in this house !

I think Clyde must have had dinner at the Smokehouse and doubled up on the baked beans for his side dishes (-;

I think the holidays are here, the weather is becoming cold and yucky and everyone is unmotivated including me

LMAO - ianimal

Is this just a race to see who will be the last to post?

Our goal is to top 28K

Can you believe that the Jodi Applegate topic has reach 150 posts?????

Don't forget today is the last day to plant your seeds, so you will have a tree by Xmas

I can't believe that people are still talking about it...

However, for the record, I am absolutely APPALLED that CBS took Walter Cronkite off the air. They made a BIIIIG mistake. This viewer will not be watching CBS news again until this horrible affront is rectified. He was so perky and goofy and he had a great rack... oh, wait...

SueR: Are you practicing for standup? You are VERY funny!

Vacation day today, so plenty of time to get a post in to add to the total. Knocked a couple of little things off of the "to do" list. Can't bring myself to get to the painting....HATE IT!! If I post everytime I procrastinate while I'm on vacation, 2000 posts should be no problem!!!

Clyde, Seed, what seed? My tree is in the attic. Taking it out is on my to do list also.

Clyde and ianimal: Glad you're both home where you belong.

ianimal you're killing me LMAO

maja?

Girl from the Nile Bellydancer?
or
Ivarsson?

League Baseball?

Welcome back fellows. ianimal, that's cool about the wedding favor! I'm a big fan of puns AND little bottles of alcohol.

Clyde, I see the Seminoles creamed the Terps. You must be very proud. Ian, I think Clyde froze his a** off at the game, which might be why he didn't realize his thunderous reaction to the baked beans (although it might have been crabcakes -- he was in Maryland) was of his own making.

We need to do, basically, 300 posts in the next 3 days, if we gives ourselves to the end of the day Thursday to get to 200.

Think we can/should stop there?

This way, we can all stay friends for another ten years or so.

I want to go home! I feel horrible. Dr. gave me a antibiotic so hopefully I will be better by Thursday.

Guys I just got the most beautiful Cheristmas items in. A store that I wont mention brought in there stock from last year. A must see. I already bought 4 things myself.

Hackettstown Life Forum Posters,
Have had some very busy days.
Posting all this nonsense,
Is leaving them in quite a haze.

All of the other forums,
Used to laugh and call them names.
They never met poor SusieQ,
Who always beat them at their games.

Then one foggy Christmas Eve,
Chris came along too strong.
If you keep this posting up,
I'll link you to a You Tube song.

Then how the posters loved him,
As they shouted out with glee.
Hackettstown Life Forum Posters,
We'll go down in history!

sorry guys, I hadn't posted in a few days, had to make it good (OK, not good but at least entertaining?!)

Hopeful YES it was cold 20d

Our next comedian is from not sure where, but she is telling other Women to try the sausage? Lets give a warm Hackettstown Life welcome to SueR............ Lets hear it

Great job, Beanzer... although if everyone puts that amount of thought into each and every post, we'll never get to 2,000 by Thursday (-;

That was great, Beanzer. Either you're very talented or you've got waaaayyyy too much time on your hands - I'll bet it's the first one.

Re: What does it mean when you're the last one to post . . .Here's a picture of lulu.

He specializes in tormenting/scaring large German Shepherds and breaking into tall garbage cans.

I think I now have a new favorite Christmas song.

Re: What does it mean when you're the last one to post . . .This is Sassy. We can't give her away because she belongs to our friend and neighbor Dave.

For Marcus, in the background, however - something could be worked out.

Marcus has very specific dietary preferences. This involves us spending hours each week making meals of calves liver, rice, bacon and scrambled eggs with cheese, which must be mixed in just the right proportion with his favorite flavor of kibble. The kibble must be pre-moistened and soaked for about 20 minutes with broth, however, or he will look at you like you're trying to poison him. If it's not just right, he can go for days without eating.

Re: What does it mean when you're the last one to post . . .Here's Bluebonnet.

His trick is to take a bath in the water dish. If it's too cold, he'll then sit shivering at the bottom of his cage, and need to be picked up and held for a good quarter of an hour, or he'd die of cold.

WOW! Lucky Marcus! I don't treat my own self that good.

Re: What does it mean when you're the last one to post . . .Hazel is perfectly normal except:

1) she dislikes every other creature in existence.
2) she eats like a (see next post).

Re: What does it mean when you're the last one to post . . .ahem.

Remember when Jerry and George went to NBC with their idea of a show about nothing? Surely we can get HLL (Hackettstown Life Live) a spot somewhere. Who will write and who will act TBD, but I think we may have something here.

Re: What does it mean when you're the last one to post . . .Chance, adorable kitty that he is, will happily jump on the table and take a bite of your sandwich. While you're eating it. And will have to be locked out of the room if you'd prefer to ever eat in peace.

He also guards ferociously the watering hole which he has designated to be his. Any animal big or small who dares go near the big bowl will be sneak-attacked from behind.

Rebecka, I love your classified ad posts with the photos and the personality quirk information. I have a dog that, like Hazel, despises all other animals, too, so I can't help you out (except maybe Bluebonnet -- what kind of bird is he?). But I look forward to hearing about their new homes. Why do they need to go?

Guys, the songs and the jokes and bizarre stories about nothing are great. Very Seinfeldian indeed, cbel.

Hey, go check out the C'mere Cupcake thread. They're having a "soft opening" (a term I never heard before Target came to town -- but I don't like to shop, so that might explain it), which means they're secretly open before their grand opening. I went by the shop and their cupcakes are delicious! Reggie, we need to give the owner, Nicole, your old gravatar.

city chick...Been there done that lol

Christine you should be home getting better for Thursday and the baby.

Folks: Here's some disheartening news. We're at 79 posts for today. In order to hit 2000 by last post Wednesday night, we need 281 more. This does not look too promising. Maybe we should just ease up and enjoy our week. What do you think?

Oh Rebecka, sorry I misunderstood:) You were racking up the posts, right? Well your pets are adorable and I'm sure you do have your hands full!

Went to the Target tonight for the first time. Very nice! What I really like is that the Pizza Hut offers Coke and Pepsi. Now that's what I call selection.

Oh, and I ordered pumpkin cupcakes for Thanksgiving from C'mere Cupcake. Cream cheese frosting? Yum.

Keep going...no resting except those that are recovering from the colds.

Im back!!!!

I know I should have been resting but I went anyway. The Dr gave me antibiotic so hopefully thia thing will disappear.

The Council went well. Mr. Huckel from the high school and how we need them at the HS etc.Brian Ficarra said that they council and the PBA came to an agreement. The COuncil voted to hire one officer at this time.They did say that they need to be fiscallly responsible and something needs to be done in the future.

BTW WOnder how Calico and BF are doing right now. HMMMM honeymoon!

Packers win the toss and will receive.

I agree with Clyde and Firefly, cbel. We can do it!

But I was thinking maybe we could give ourselves until last post Thursday night -- so 2000 posts by the end of Thanksgiving Day. That seems more doable. Except some people might actually be away from their computers that day....lucky.

Maybe if we get to 2000 by then, then we could ease up for the rest of the holidays?

Couple of things: That was a good idea, Hopeful.

Calico said that she was getting married tomorrow at 6 pm, 9:00 our time. Maybe we can all wish her well then.

Clyde: Leos are always hopeful.

Wonderful Christine about hiring one officer. Every little bit helps. Get some rest. Calico and BF will be officially Mr and Mrs Calico tomorrow. I think they said the big night was Tues when there was no football on. LOL My guess is they are having a great time.

Packers 7-0

I like the idea of giving it til Thanksgiving at midnight. I am thinking it can still be done.

Personally, I think the hiring of one officer is a good thing. I am glad they worked something out. Give and take.

cbel, what? You are giving up the fight? Whats the matter? I will admit I was in a mood yesterday and you helped, want to talk about it? Are you having frosting withdraws?

Hopeful - Most retail stores have a soft opening, it just is to get the bugs out, what works? what does not work? Move this here and that there. Kind of thing.

Good question happy2bhere

In case I forget later, I'm gonna post this now. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone....

I'm thankful for having health insurance.

I have major spine surgery coming up, and every day I think to myself: my G-d, there are people out there who have the same problem I have, and there is no end to their pain in sight because they don't have insurance and can't afford the surgery.

I am thankful for my family - especially the sweet dear daughter and husband.

Rebecka..what kind of surgery are you having?

Coralie that's so sweet. Me too and I am thankful for my new kitty! I love to squeeze him!

1800 for you, Michele! Congrats!

Thanks and the sad part was that I wasn't even paying attention.

Just thought I'd add a post to the thousands here! And I am thankful for my family!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Re: What does it mean when you're the last one to post . . .Michele - sorry to hear you're in the same "back boat."

Anyone going to Freeholders Meeting tonight?

The freeloaders are meeting tonight?

I'm having SueR's S&P's tonight. Picked up my turkey at Shop Rite. Then I got my sausage and peppers in the crock pot. Meal preparation: 17 minutes. Hmmm. Cook or read a book? OR, take 34 minutes and do BOTH!

Yes instead of their regular Wed. due to Thanksgiving.

So, what am I thankful for this year. Well, I am thankful I'm not broke or homeless. I'm very thankful I have food, oil, a home, family, and a car. Not necessarily in that order.

And I am thankful for the internet because if I didn't the only language I would be able to speak would be baby talk. ;-)

I took a look at the link to the Hackettstown demographics. They must be the demographics for the 55+ adult community by the hospital. It can't be for all of Hackettstown. I know HTown isn't mostly women over fifty with no college degree making under 30k a year. Is it?

does anyone want to guess the date and time of the 2000 post?
I say Wednesday night at 8:40

Hi everybody looks like everyone is working hard to reach our goal of 2000 by Thanksgiving.

I dont think we will make it because so many people have to get ready for turkey day. But it would be cool if we did.

Jersey Girlie - when is the Washington Boro Farmers' Market? I love good sausage. Thx.

Re: What does it mean when you're the last one to post . . .Here's a picture of the car I want. Won't be out until next September. It's only an artist's rendering b/c BMW is keeping it under wraps until they officially debut it. I'm going to have to work my butt off!

OK. That was 1841. 159 to go before last post tomorrow. Piece of cake.

I'm being hopeful, Clyde.

Re: Farmers market - are there farmers there selling fall/year-round items (apples, sausage and meats, honey) or is it only in the Summer.

Man now my hubby says he is getting my cold.

I''m sorry men are such babies when they get sick

cbel, did you say you were being Hopeful? Welcome!

The day crew has done an awesome job -- very very impressive! And if we keep it up for the next 28 hours or so, we should be good for the 2000 before Thanksgiving.

Today's migraine has slowed me down -- and I need to go to bed early -- but I will do my best and should be back on my game tomorrow.

Go team!

If you still want to get sausage from him in the off season here is the info I have off a pack of sausage I had in the freezer.

The Sausage Man
3 Haytown Road
Lebanon, NJ
(908)832-2697

The ingredients on the package of my Italian style pork sausage is pork, salt, pepper, and fennel. It is so good! And the Sausage Man is a very sweet older gentleman. He may be willing to ship if Lebanon is too far. But I dont know. I have only bought at the market. The sausage costs $5 a pound. Each one pound pack has five large links. It is worth every penny! :-)

It's nice to see the additions to the Poll thread. We still have quite a few more to hear from, though.

Jersey Girlie - thanks so much. S.O. works right near Lebanon. Will send him on a mission. Yum...

It's 10:00 - do you know where your children are?

It's 10:08... do you know where my children are?

Oh, wait... I don't have any. Carry on.

Evening everyone !

I feel like a slacker in regards to posting.....I have had a BUSY day for sure away from here. Congrats on allthe POSTS!! WOOOOOW

I ran to the airport and back,visited and went to dinner, I have spent the lest few hours trying to help my son get caught up with his schoolwork/homework that he missed from being home sick yesterday. I am soooo tired !

Now to spend a few getting caught up on all the days posts

Hopeful....Glad you are feeling better.

ianimal ROFLMAO.

One last word of advice before I retire for the evening... when you buy a bag of potatoes, don't put it on top of the fridge out of sight.

Not sure when I bought them, but now I know where those fruit flies were coming from... I guess starch is as good as sugar to them, lol.

Nothing a little bleach and a strong stomach can't handle. If you know someone with a strong stomach, send 'em over; I have the bleach, lol.

ok, I'll add to this...as immature as it may be. Not sure anyone asked this before, but a question we all think to ourself at times:

Who farted?

I know whatcha mean about those potatoes. Day before yesterday I went to make some mashed potatoes and when I pulled the bag out they were sitting in a puddle of brown slime. It was foul! And I just bought those taters!!! Had to toss an entire 5 pound bag... and potatoes aren't that cheap anymore.

Thanks, Hockeymom -- it was an aura-filled day. I should have posted on Froggy's Lilypad...

ianimal, that turkey trivia test was hard. I only got 12. Sad but true -- I don't know how many feathers a turkey has. How could I have forgotten that important factoid! At least a good Irish woman knows what to do with potatoes: eat 'em!

H-town guy: Clyde (I think you'll find ianimal anticipated your question somewhere along the way yesterday.)

Clyde, I, too, am thankful for a little silliness every day -- this thread keeps me smiling, even if I'm not a 50+-year-old woman. Yet.

cbel, you and lots of others have done yeo(wo)man's work today. Justasking, even if we don't quite hit 1900 tonight, I think we can get to 2000 tomorrow and/or in the wee Thanksgiving morning hours.

Thanks for the heads up on Twilight. My daughter wanted me to take her to see it this past Sunday but I read the description and decided not to see it. I took the girls to see Bolt in 3D. It was cute but predictable. lol But the 3D made it fun so it was worth it. :-)

Fave Thanksgiving dish...

A chopped cranberry side. We never did the jelly thing - food-processed them up with oranges instead. Pretty tasty.

Bachalau is also up there. ;-)

Pecan pie -- but only when it's baked by my husband.

Rebecka, how do you do those cranberries? I was about to just boil up the whole cranberries with sugar and water -- the recipe on the back of the bag. You just chop whole cranberries (cooked?) with orange slices? Do you put nuts in them?

Is Twilight as popular as Harry Potter? I'm really only just now hearing about it now, but I have sons. Is it more geared toward girls? I did hear someone say she took her daughter to a midnight showing of the film. Too bad the movie wasn't so good.

im so confused i jsut found out on a dif post that you where trying to get this to 2000 b 4 turkey day what was the 1900 about lol

can't get to 2,000 without getting past 1,900. you achieved a minor milestone along the way. Congrats (-;

Now, really, back to work for me...

Boy I can't believe it you guys where really busy last night we will definitly make 2000 by Thanksgiving. Is that some kind of record?

favorites? turkey skin, stuffing and lots of gravy. All the healthy stuff!

My favorite is candy yams with marshmallows my mother used to make the best and stuffing God I'm hungry already. I'm going to my sons and daughter-in-laws for dinner so it saves me clean up..I do Xmas.

Candied yams with marshmallows. Yum. Okay, what's the difference between sweet potatoes and yams?

A cranberry sauce is a tasty side if its done with apples, pears, nuts and brown sugar.

I my original recipe book was ruined, (husband spilled a whole pot of coffee on it) but found this one at http://allrecipes.com/

"Superb Cranberry Sauce with Apples and Pears"

Morning everyone!

I have a very busy day today. Black Friday tomorrow so I need to get more things done in the store. Take kids to the dentist. (why did I schedule that today?) Then home to do some baking. UGH!

Happy posting everyone.

Morning everyone! I agree with cbel - I like the healthy part of Thanksgiving - turkey skin, stuffing, gravy, mashed potatoes, and pie with lots and lots of whipped cream.

Just Asking - that happened to me too a couple of nights ago - I guess you only get 2 posts in a certain amount of time. That's okay - keeps it fair.

Have a wonderful day, guys! I definately think we can make 2000 by Thanksgiving (even if it's at the end of the day). Whooo-hooooo! Go HL!

I think we will make before the end of the day....

Use to love the leftover sandwich (stuffing, turkey, cranberry sauce and mayo between bread) as the favorite dish after the main dinner. My mom would place the stuffing so tight in the turkey (I know it is wrong to do that now for fear of food poisioning) that you could slice it for sandwiches afterwards. This is was the best for days afterwards.

Now I keep trying new items to see if I can find something special to have with the meal. Since I do all the cooking and work full time, the dishes are pretty simple. This year I have ordered a tray of Pumpkin Perogies from Prickly Pear. I am sure that will be my favorite this year! Yum!

Hopeful - cook cranberries in sugar water, then chop them up with oranges in the processor - I think you'll still have to add sugar or it will be too tart.

Coralie, your leftover sandwich sounds amazing!

Coralie, a little food poisoning is good for the soul =). I love the stuffing cooked in the turkey (it so tasty) and there is never enough stuffing.

You've likely never had a real yam, Sue. Those candied things in the can aren't yams, they're sweet potatoes.

eeew.... I just remembered parsnips... they're like turnips that didn't get an education.

(no, i have no idea what that means... i'm just working towards 2,000... work with me, people)

Okay, so it's likely I've never had a yam. Got it. Candied sweet potatoes are good, too! I also dislike rutabaga, turnips, and, my least favorite, brussels sprouts. My mom used to mash up squash, which I also didn't really like. Then again, anything's good if you just add some mini-marshmallows.

I am liking the sound of pumpkin pierogies, Coralie. I might have to try those.

Looks like we will be to our goal soon -- take tonight and tomorrow off, everyone! Great job, day crew.

One more question -- what's your favorite holiday (i.e., Christmas) movie? I am hosting a holiday movie night in a couple of weeks -- I've already inflicted "Elf," "A Christmas Story," and "Love, Actually" on these people. I don't think I can do "March of the Wooden Soldiers," though. Not a Laurel and Hardy fan, either.

SueR, I love the comedies, too. Yes, the Santa Clause movies oculd be good or the other ones. What you think about "Christmas Vacation"? What about other movies that are set at Christmast-time but may not necessarily focus on Christmas? Like "Love, Actually." There must be some great ones set in NYC at Christmas, like "Elf."
