Why is there a Munster cheese, but not an Addams Family cheese?

There is, alternate spelling. Edam

Been watching Tales of The Wizard of Oz by Rankin Bass. It's as far from Frank L. Baum as you can get (even from the movie), but I like it. I especially like Rusty the grumpy Tin Man voiced by Larry D. Mann

I finished all my holiday shopping and card mailing. Now I can kick back and relax while the procrastinators run around like headless chickens. Ahhh, what a good feeling!

My mother was an early Christmas shopper. She once bought a present for someone in NOVEMBER the year before the Christmas it was intended for.

My dad and I have all of our shopping done by the end of September. That way we dont have to worry about shipping delays, out of stock items, and we can use the money for the higher heating bills in the winter.

When I was a kid and they would regularly show the movie The Wizard of Oz (the one with Judy Garland from the late 1930s) on network TV +/- once a year, I never really got the full effect of the movie changing from black-and-white (for the portions set in Kansas) to technicolor (for Oz) because we still had a b&w TV.

We didn't get a color television until I was almost a teenager, after our old b&w console TV finally gave up on us.

My Christmas shopping is kind of similar I guess. If I'm out and about and I see something I think a friend or family member would like I just buy it and stash it away. That way I have a gift for them, ready to go.

Why do stores lock up condoms? Some people aren't comfortable buying them so why make it more awkward to buy? Don't they want to prevent STDs and teen pregnancies?

Don't they want to make money selling them vs. having horny teenagers shoplift them?

Most of the lower 48 is suffering through a dreadful cold snap. Here in Philly, it’s all of 12 degrees with a “real feel” of minus 6. I’m officially done with winter.

Here in Cincy we woke up to -38 wind chill. I too am so over winter.

Only 11° this am here, but 40-50° Christmases are the norm, so we're dyin'!

I think one of the NYC weather guys (Channel 2's Lonnie Quinn) recently said this Christmas could be the coldest Christmas in New York City in 116 years.
