Mr. Blog's Tepid Ride

December 24, 2014

I’m sorry to break news like this to all the world’s kiddies on Christmas Eve. You’re all snug in your beds, waiting for Old Saint Nick to leave presents under your trees, but I have to let you know, Santa may not make it to your house this year.

From December 25, 2010

Don’t hate me. This was suggested by oft-time commenter, the full-time Allan Keyes.

Don’t know who Tiny Tim was? This isn’t the “God bless us, everyone” kid. This is the banjo-playing freak show who was popular in the 1960’s and 70’s. Popular for what you ask? I don’t know. He was one of those people whom someone one day called a celebrity and no one argued. I’d compare him to Paris Hilton but I don’t like to speak ill of the dead.

So, with apologies, here is “Santa Claus Has Got the AIDS This Year.”

This is one of my most reposted blogs. And why not? It has it all: Santa, Christmas, and Tiny Tim.

Isn’t your life better for seeing this?

While it would be ironic if Tiny Tim had died of AIDS, he didn’t. He suffered a heart attack while performing in 1996.
