DarwinFilter When you lock yourself out of the house and rappel nude down the inside of the chimney with the cable TV line, as they say, hilarity ensues. Yes, drugs were involved.

  • Then the difficult work began. I should indeed think pushing some guy's sooty naked ass up a chimney would be a lousy way to spend a Sunday morning.
  • I can just picture it: Guy smokes weed. Damn, this pretty strong stuff... wow, it looks cool down the chimney. I wonder if I could fit? No, yes, no, yes, no... well... what if I took my clothes off?
  • Heh. For some reason, this made me think of a Fresh Air interview with John Waters, where he talks about his favorite Christmas movie, You Better Watch Out/Christmas Evil:
    JOHN WATERS: It's about a lonely man that one day while shaving, with shaving cream on his face realizes that he looks like Santa Claus. So he gets a job in a toy factory and starts spying on children, he gets a little book and starts writing down "good little boy, bad little girl." He starts crossdressing as Claus and passes. As Christmas gets nearer creepy-crawls around people's roofs, and finally takes the plunge on Christmas Eve and goes down a chimney. Gets caught, stuck, irate parents start screaming, he panics, grabs a razor-sharp ornament off of the Christmas tree, cuts the parent's throat and runs. And then there's a gang, a mob of parents trying to get him, but all the children in the community believe he's real and form a protective ring around him, and then he takes off on the sleigh, getting away with murder. It's an amazing movie. TERRY GROSS: Is it a comedy or a horror film? JOHN WATERS: For me, it's a religious film.
  • "Guy smokes weed. Damn, this pretty strong stuff..." I should think this involves something stronger than weed.
  • "JOHN WATERS: It's about a lonely man that one day while shaving..." realises he is Fiona Apple's father.
  • Has anyone commented on the amusing but not exactly appropriate ads google furnishes these links?
  • Yes, drugs were involved. Da ya THINK?!?!?
  • Christmas Evil is without doubt the best seasonal film ever made. It makes all the shit we had to put up with as kids almost worthwhile. Chimney rappelling, while interesting, will never compare.
  • They should have lit a fire under his ass to get him going.
  • Mike's nuts roasting on an open fire...
