“

Through all these years, Butler has remained very much a working musician. And his work with the Waitresses is the gift that keeps on giving. He receives royalties for air play of Christmas Wrapping and for sales of the band’s greatest-hits album. In 1998, the Spice Girls covered the song.

“I winced,” he says, when he found out they wanted to do it. “At the time, I was working in experimental music with Television’s Richard Lloyd, and the most commercial band of the day covers this 290-year-old song? Talk about a mind (expletive). Is it any good? Probably not. But who cares? They did it, I’m grateful, and it’s going to buy my kid the greatest associate’s degree money can buy.”

I don’t know how I missed this idea for a novelty blog until now: combining my love of schlocky, terrible fiction with my love of hating things. If it’s ham-fisted and free in the Kindle store, I’m your huckleberry. Double if there’s overlong action sequences.

gillianmae:

Oh, because who doesn’t need a $405 Le Creuset French Oven, “personal energy generator,” archer bow and $139,000 Icon A5 airplane? Don’t forget to squeeze the $4,784 flight simulator under your tree!

Edit: I love that the intern nominated a Skip-It! Go gurl.

P.P.S: “Sponsored by Louis Vuitton.”

In Rachael’s defense: she’s a very dear friend and former roommate of mine, and I swear that she and her husband don’t have room for that airplane in their apartment.
