Hump Day & Chill

"Naughty"
Michael Shinafelt

"'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house

Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse..."

But Santa was feeling quite homicidal this year...NOT! It's Christmas Eve Minions so guess 
what?! That's correct we are going to celebrate the occasion with a Hump Day & Chill!

How are we going to Hump Day & Chill you ask? With me paying homage to one of the most 
twisted Christmas themed movies ever! Silent Night, Deadly Night. Not the current 2025 take,
but the original 1984 shock fest.

Here's how the story goes: 

    "A young boy watches his parents killed by a thief in a Santa suit. He spends his youth in an orphanage, staying quietly to his self, but his mind is further bent by an ironhanded Mother Superior. He finally gets a job at a local store, where he finally snaps when he is required to wear a Santa suit, and goes on a killing spree that leads him slowly back to the orphanage" 

Oh BTW the word "Naughty" plays a key role in it. So Hump Day & Chill and stay 
"Naughty" Minions...if you dare...

Classic Scene: Airplane!

Jive Talkin' 

While this scene from Airplane! (1980) probably wouldn't fly today (pun intended) it is a comedy classic. Do in no small part that Barbara Billingsley who played "Jive Lady" is one of the whitest women ever!

In case you aren't in the loop Ms. Billingsley played June Cleaver, the whitest Mom ever on Leave It To Beaver for six seasons. The show ran from October 4, 1967 - June 20, 1963. Google it Minions.

Everyone needs a laugh, especially these days. Hit the scene after the jump for some Jive Talkin'!

Current Mood

Keke Palmer

Hello Monday before Christmas, most people like myself are like WTF?! Where did the time go I can't believe it's here already! "Yes" this Thursday is the big "C" as I'm sure you are aware.

Ms. Keke Palmer as the Bride Of Frankenstein is here to represent my Current Mood.

The expression on her face says it all.

What's that you say? Her look can be interpreted as disbelief, stress or fear, etc. That is correct Minions,  it can be all those so I guess you'll have to assign your own take on it. Because I'll never spill which point of view is mine.

This leaves it open for you to project your own thoughts and feelings.

Get the look! 3 more days until Christmas is here!

Naughty Or Nice?

There's No Way I'm Turning Back
Michael Shinafelt

There's no way I'm turning back (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)Now the pain is for pleasure'Cause nothing can measure (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)

'Cause I may be bad, but I'm perfectly good at itSex in the air, I don't care, I love the smell of itSticks and stones may break my bonesBut chains and whips excite me" - Rihanna, S&M

Decoder Ring

I didn't watch the Me, Me, Me, Me fest the other night. Because I respect myself too much to subject myself to that kind of tomfoolery. 

For those of you who have any interest in such utter nonsense here we have Ralphie from A Christmas Story with his Trump gibberish decoder ring.

As you may recall in the classic movie it is actually a Little Orphan Annie decoder ring. You're welcome.

Michael's Musings

Today I Turn 60...Happy Birthday To Me!
Michael Shinafelt

I turn 60 today, it's not anything like I thought it would be. It's better! 

Of course I talk to myself. I need expert advice, that's all

You're so weird, don't change

Yesterday I had a Pre-Birthday celebration lunch with my friend Julie at The Cheesecake Factory in Beverly Hills, the more you know

Don't forget getting a tree and decorating it is witchcraft, not to mention all sorts of fun!

What's my favorite Period film? "Carrie" think about it, but not too much

Stop pretending you're not magical, right here, right now

I got a really cool Wicked T-Shirt in the mail from my friend Karen for my Birthday yesterday. It has embroidered Flying Monkeys on it! And aren't you happy? I know I am!!!

Woman Crush of the Week - Amanda Seyfried I love her for standing her ground and refusing  to apologize for calling Charlie Kirk hateful

Speaking of Amanda seeing The Housemaid with her and Sydney Sweeney tomorrow, can't wait!

Gomez Addams was the best television Dad. He had nothing but love and support for his whole family. Fight me.

No one is too old for fairy tales. Trust me at 60 I can honestly state this.

I was today years old when I realized it's called DisnyLAnd because it's in LA and it's called DisneywORld because it's in Orlando

Today I am hitting the historic Bob's Big Boy in Burbank, CA for a Birthday lunch. I've never been and I'm going to get my photo taken with the Big Boy.

Celebrate "Sexy 60" with me here -
