- I need a name for my condition. I'm getting tired of saying "mostly deaf in one ear with distorted sounds... probably a neurological condition."
It's just too much. I've decided to call it one of three things. Next time somebody asks, I'll tell them, that I have:
A) Left-sided Whatsies
B) Van Gogh's syndrome
C) Hitler Balls

to cover the best and worse movies, books, music, comics, and video Games from 2009 while revisiting some of their favorite BoneBat Bands from the last year, rounding things out with "What Pisses Us Off", political ranting and icy jeroboam of Filthy Jokes! Kick off the new year in style with episode 38 of The BoneBat Show!
1/10/2010 - If you see a movie trailer and it starts with Chris Rock at a funeral, close your eyes, cover your ears, turn off the TV, run out of the room, do whatever you can to NOT SEE THE TRAILER. It is for the remake of Death at a Funeral and it gives away some of the funniest parts of the whole damn movie. Better yet, just rent the original. It's only a couple years old and it is funny as Hell. I bet the remake will be funny too, but only about half as funny to the people who had all the good parts ruined by the trailer.
1/5/2010 - Date Wars! Another funny video from SMBC.
12/31/2009 - He's shoveling snow now!

- The U.S. government didn't recognize Christmas as a holiday until 1870. Until then, Congress routinely met and conducted business on Christmas day. It was, in fact, just another workday.
The celebration of Christmas in America prior to the Revolution depended largely on where one lived. In Jamestown, Virginia, one could celebrate the holiday freely. In Boston, celebration of Christmas incurred a fine of five shillings. Following the Revolution, Christmas was eschewed as English customs fell out of favor.
Christmas was a totally different deal the first hundred years or so or our nation's history. Rather than opening presents around a tree, the day was dedicated to getting stinking drunk and going absolutely monkey-shit crazy.
In the early part of the 19th century, Christmas was, as one historian once noted, "like a nightmarish cross between Halloween and a particularly violent, rowdy Mardi Gras." It was a massive Christmas riot in 1828 that led to the formation of New York City's first police force.
Newspapers of the era are filled with disturbing accounts of what Christmas was really like in those days: widespread rioting, sexual assault, vandalism, drunkenness, street violence and general lawlessness. Most of these "traditions" were carried over from Europe, where, dating back to the Middle Ages, Christmas had been regarded by the wealthy classes as a safety valve for releasing the peasants' pent-up frustrations.
HistoryChannel.com noted that "Congress was in session on December 25, 1789, the first Christmas under America's new Constitution." The holiday remained unpopular for years, and Christmas was not declared a federal holiday until June 26, 1870.

- You may recall my cartoon earlier this year - The Alphabet of Rude Sounds.
Check out "Poit!" Without knowing it, I used Don Martin's idea. Must have been a repressed childhood memory of Mad Magazine.

- Whoa whoa whoa. Slow down a minute. This is getting more than a little out of hand.
So Dana Perino goes, "We did not have a terrorist attack on our country during President Bush's term."
And the other two clowns just kind of stare at her for a second and move on. Hello? 9/11? Anyone remember that? Hello? Sorry about the lefty link, but it was the easiest place to find the video.
