I hope you all had a merry Christmas! We had a great time spending time with family, making wonderful memories. A big thank you to Dad/Martha, Mom/Jack, and Mark (Chili dog too!) who made the trip from Illinois to spend the holidays with us.
There were so many generous gifts opened this Christmas, but I would have to say that the PS2 Rock Band was a run away favorite. I have never seen so many musically un-inclined people "rock out" in my living room (me included). The Williams family may quit work/school and go on the road.
Mark, Karen, Tara & Colleen sing Karaoke.
Every year we play a rousing game of Dirty Santa. This is a picture of Joseph modeling several of the Dirty Santa gifts brought by our very creative family, including bubba teeth, pirate eye patches, a beautiful stretchy shirt and cowboy Steve. We usually have a good mix of real vs. gag gifts. This year we all went to the dark side and brought gag gifts. Very entertaining!

Its kinda hard to tell when you really "made it". But front page of the blog, thats a dead give away! You really have to feel sorry for those celebs that give up their dignity and self respect by doing whatever necessary just to get on the cover of a magazine or web page. Makes me glad I am who I am and would never stoop to something as petty as that...Kinda makes me wanna pack up and head to Hollywood and take my shot at becoming a real star...maybe even make GQ! With that said, I believe I've earned the blog title "Dead Sexy"!!!
Since Mark and Joseph are both top stories on the blog today, I'm not sure who is striving to be called "Dead Sexy". Given Mark's self titled "Big Sexy" my first thought went to him. However, with the comment...celebs that give up their dignity....my thoughts turned to Joseph given that he is dressed in a stretchy shirt, eye patch, bubba teeth, holding a tall slim cowboy. Will the real Dead Sexy please stand up?
Number 1 on the charts and number 1in your hearts on this blog I will always be grand marquis or g.m.. Joseph is holding a tall slim cowboy, like that's unusual.
All I can say is that my dear sister-in-law is going to pay! No paparazzi for me! I like to hide my light under a barrel and save my singing for my family. It's a shame we didn't have a vocal of the You Light Up My Life, dear sister...that would have been great - because you were INTO IT! But, don't worry - I'll find one of you and have it on my blog in a few days.
Speaking of gifts...I've never re-gifted before, but sure hope Big Sexy appreciated the bouquet of flowers we put in his truck - I know how much they meant to you. But, if you bring them back for Dirty Santa next year, you're going to be banned! You should give those to your secretary - of course you've probably already done that and she kindly refused!! HA HA or you could just try a cowboy!!
My dearest sister-in-law I have "You Light Up My Life" on karaoke CD, in fact sang it Christmas morning. Come on over, I have it quede (sp?) up for you. Why don't we give our families a treat and sing a duet? We've always made such beautiful music together. Remember how captivated our customers were when we serenaded them with "Nacho, Nacho Man" (in the tune of Macho Man) from the concesion stand window?
No one should have any doubt who Dead Sexy is...I mean come on, that shirt, the eye patch, the...do i even need to continue?
I would like to state for the record that bouquet of flowers was introduced into dity santa stardom last year by our mother. I ended up with them last year in the dirty santa game. I then Gave them back to our mother for mother's day and she brought them back for another round this year. And some how I got flowered again and ended up with them. But don't worry I did some internet research today and found out they were created in the mid 70's by the famous if not somewhat obscure french canadian artist Poupe' D'floure. He stangely only had the one piece of art before his life was tragically cut short by an exploding kiln. It was never proven, but it was rumored that he was sobotaged by a less talented rival flower sculptor Franzua Tre Delaquar who gave up sculpting and started a floral delivery company called FTD. Long story short (not really) but it turns out that today the flowers are worth almost a dollar. But hey, thats almost $1.75 canadian. Who's laughing now.
Nacho, Nacho Man...wow-that brings back memories. Rudolph the red-nose reindeer, more memories. Figaro, Figaro, Figaro...even more memories. And how could I forget, A Country Boy Can Survive"...but that's plugnocker's song. I think the cowboy devotees of the family should learn some old Marty Robbins' songs for next year's karoake contest! "Out in the west Texas town of El Paso, I fell in love with a beautiful..."
My favorite daughter has alot of "girl country" songs that she promised to bring over - so no more of us trying to sing the guy songs!!
To G.M.: How about, "I beg your pardon, I never promised you a rose garden." Tell your mom, "no chocolate pie for you" since she's the flower problem!! (Say it like soup nazi and maybe she'll understand how serious we our!!) ROFLOL
Speaking of great finds...On my thumbs up sculpture, we found a signature that looked like Arthur Fonzarelli'. Wow, we got some great investment style gifts this year.
Wonder how Jason is liking his Tiger print scale???? FIGARO....
Do you think the tiger print scale growls at Jason when he steps on it? GGGRROOOOOOWL....things that make you go hmmmmmm.
" It's GREAAAAAAAT "
GGGRRRRRWWWWWW...and by the way its Leopard print.
I bet G'Mom loves the leopard print - maybe she'll want one of my Bengals!! Just think, Tackle and a Bengal....how much fun would that be!!!
