Every Saturday WTIT: The Blog brings you a meme called Saturday 9. It’s not to say that this is a bright idea, but it is what we do. A woman named Crazy Sam started this meme because a prior popular Saturday meme specialist Lola had retired. So, Sam contacted all Lola’s participants and invited us to participate in her meme. The biggest difference is that Sam enjoys our participation. All of Sam’s questions and writing are in bold.
1. Do you enjoy receiving or giving presents more? I am a Saint. St. Budwick, I believe. But, when it comes to the joy and true meaning of Christmas, it is everyone for themselves. So I’d rather be getting the loot.
2. What is you favorite holiday film? It’s a Wonderful Life. We did a spoof of that film at 
WTIT. We called it It’s a Shitty Life. Our spoof was dead on. The husband comes home to find his wife in bed with a woman. As he starts to question her about it, the West Hartford Band and Bugle Corps wandered in and join the action. Nothing says Christmas better than a fucking orgy.
3. Have you started or finished your gift shopping? Why is today Christmas Eve? I’m a guy. Geez.
4. What does this time of year mean to you? You mean besides the old mistletoe on the belt 
buckle trick? Seriously, this time of year is special. It is SO much easier to pick up a woman at a bar. I went to a new bar last night. As we pulled into her driveway she said, “I don’t usually pick a guy up at a bar and bring him home.” I had to say, “Of course not. Tonight was special.” It’s all about New Year’s Eve. Women hate spending it alone. So far I have twelve New Year’s Eve plans.
5. What is your favorite holiday song? Happy Xmas (War is Over) by John Lennon. I don’t feel the spirit until I’ve heard that sucker a hundred times.
6. What do you love about the holiday season? I think it is from a song. I am not sure. It goes, “Christmastime, and the women are easy…” I think Fantasia sang it in season five.
7. What do you hate about the holiday season? When it’s over, it is fucking January in New England. Maybe it is just me, but I hate freezing my balls off.
8. Who will you spend the holidays 
with? Which one? Christmas Eve, I am with my family. Christmas Day I have a tradition of sorts with the twins. It’s called “Doing the Mrs. Claus twins.” It spices things up. As far as New Year’s Eve goes, it’s all about waiting for the best offer. I have a dozen so far, but there will be more.
9. Do religious ceremonies play 
a part in your holiday traditions? If yes, how? The WTIT Marching Band, Orchestra and Choir does a religious Christmas Eve concert that is very spiritual and moving. At the end we pass the basket for holiday donations. It’s a great scam and I make a bundle.
“Mistletoe on the belt buckle* LOL!! I hadn’t heard that one before 🙂
Nurse E-
I actually hadn’t either. It struck me funny, tho!
You freaking make me laugh so hard!
How do you come up with this shit??
Sweetie-
I have no idea. But I’ve written comedy since I was 15. I actually just have a warped perspective…
A Christmas orgy? Could be fun!
Now that I have visited you I can go to work with a smile on my face you are just too funny!
Bwahahahahahaha. #2 had me spewing my coffee all over the place.
Note to self: Don’t drink anything while reading Buds posts.
Have a terrific weekend. 🙂
Shannon-
You're in! I'll let you know the "when & where" later. And shhh. Don't tell Steve…
Paula-
Thanks! I appreciate that.
Sandee-
I had the same thing happen watching your video today! Thanks!
I think I may have seen parts of Shitty Life… but not the whole thing.
Allison-
I’ll send you the DVD…
January in New England does suck. You hit that dead on.
Debbie-
And it’s at least 90 days…
St Budwick what are you the patron saint of?
Hope you are having a great Saturday Bud!!
Wonderful Life and Holiday Inn are my two favorites. Technically Holiday Inn covers all holidays but it was the first to use White Christmas.
Favorite Christmas carol would be Bing and Bowie doing Little Drummer Boy. I LOVE that.
And call me weird but I love giving presents to people. I can barely accept a compliment let alone a present 😛
Jodi-
The patron saint of Smirnoff, of course… 😉
Starr-
I’m familar with Holiday Inn. After White Christmas became the best selling single of all time, they made the “White Christmas” movie. It was almost the same plot, but Bing starred with a couple of cast changes.
Yup. I so prefer Holiday Inn. White Christmas is better known simply do to it sharing the songs title. But HI is a MUCH better movie =)
Although I do love me some Danny Kaye.
I am a movie geek too, btw 😛
Starr-
You are SO right that the original was better. I am not surprised that you love movies. I might have been if you didn’t! 😉
I am actually a geek about a lot of things. Book obviously. Now that I am waiting for Rob Pattinson next non Twilight movie on Dali to come out I am reading Dali’s autobiography. Next up is Lorca’s. Surrealism is my favorite style of painting and Dali has long been a favorite. Had no *clue* he was a whack as he was though. Wowzers.
Comics..yes I am a comic geek. I would give my left tit to go to ComicCon. Seriously.
Beer!! Cause it’s yum.
Movies are a seriously close second to books and music. And I love old movies =)
And I am addicted to IMDB.
Starr-
I love surrealism as well. Dali reminds me of an artist who was popular when I went to college named Esher that I got into. Books were never my thing. Music is my first and last love. I enjoy film and TV as well. My favorite TV is Natgeo and MSNBC. And anything with Jill Hennessy. But please, keep your lefy tit…
The movie looks to be pretty damn good. Focuses on his early life and I think goes up to Lorca’s death.
Little Ashes
Another artist I LOVE who is obviously influenced by Dali is Vladimir Kush.
And if you think I would give up my left tit for Comic Con well lemme tell ya I’d give up the right for an orginal Kush!
Your answers were great!! I love your sarcastic humor and the photos are priceless!!!
Good grief, I hate to think what happens every time a bell rings in the WTIT version of “It’s a Wonderful Life” – I’m pretty sure it has nothing to do with an angel getting its wings, does it?!?
Stacy-
Thank you. And kind of you to say…
Linda-
No wings. No angels. In our version he runs into a pimp who tries to talk him out of jumping off the bridge. Unsuccessfully of course…
Starr-
But I heard the Kush was a T&A guy. You've gotta be careful! 😉
I hate freezing my balls off too. ;)~
So, I guess you’ll be too busy New Years Eve to come hang out with the Poptart? *pout*
Poptart-
You’d be my first choice. What time can you make it here by?
holy hell yer St. Budwick pic is a riot, lmao.
I was picturing the Band and Bugle Corps playing music during an orgy, either way it’d be funny 🙂
Oh that is too funny. Thanks for visiting my blog.
So I was reading your blog and my hubby walked by. And saw the photo of the french twins. LOL. He’s asked me to send the link to your blog. I think you’ll have a new fan soon:)
