And Now For Something Completely Different.

It’s-

GENE GENE THE DANCING MACHINE!

Yes my friends, it is the return of Gene Gene the Dancing Machine, who has graced this blog four times over the years whenever I had no idea what else to post. But give ol’ Mr. Blog a break- this is the first time since 2017 I’ve posted this, so a whole generation of readers, maybe as many as six of you, are seeing this for the first time. Anyone who saw this before unsubscribed years ago, so odds are, it is new to you! (And yes, Aunt Edwina, despite your court orders, you are still subscribed. I will take you off this mailing list when you send me more heat down in the basement.)

But fear not, Loyal Reader, I have not forgotten you. How can I? My one and only Loyal Reader, inmate #47605, sends me the most delightfully threatening letters. Hoo boy, I hope the parole board keeps you locked up for life. But for the sake of the random off-chance that someone stumbles across this blog and has seen this clip before, I present to you something new!

Santa’s Rap Hotline

18 Dec

December 28, 2021

Merry Christmas! If you grew up in the heyday of 1-900 numbers, you know you could call up a hotline and hear a special message from such luminaries as Hulk Hogan or Grandpa Al Lewis, hear a Hanukah fable, or listen to lots and lots of simulated sex. (Hey, before the internet, pre-recorded phone sex at $2.99 a minute was all we had.)

But none of them beat 1-900-909-RAPS, Santa’s Rap Hotline.

So pick up the phone, sit back relax and listen. Kids before you dial get your parent’s permission!
