Beatles Photo of the Week: Happy Crimble!
LIZ: Merry Christmas, friends of nogoodforme! Hopefully by now you've completed Wednesday's assignment and downloaded all the Beatles' Christmas messages from BeatlesFans.com, then listened over and over whilst eating up your Reese's peanut butter trees and Silk Nog. My second fave message is 1964's, mostly because of how the Beatles keep saying 'spect instead of expect, and also because of the bit at the end where they shout "Happy Christmas!" over and over and it sounds like they're running away. My first fave is the one I posted, although there's this one part that really puts a hitch in my giddy-up: It's the bit when Ringo comes on and talks for like two seconds and then Paul basically tells him to shut up and sing "Good King Wenceslas" - poor Ringo! I bet it was Paul's idea to make him wear all black and stand stuck at the top of the tree while the other, more smartly dressed Beatles posed all debonairly like that. And I also bet the gift in that present Paul's thrusting toward the camera is something real chintzy, like a handmade certificate that reads "THIS COUPON ENTITLES YOU TO ONE FREE MAKEOUT SESSION WITH GEORGE HARRISON." That's why George is lounging about in his Baby Spice pose, see: He's in on the gift too and trying to entice us into thinking it's a real good deal. Is it? Do you want a Beatles for Christmas, like in the Becky Lee Beck song? I don't want a Beatle for Christmas but I think I'm getting the A Hard Day's Night DVD, and now it's time to open presents! Happy Crimble, again and again!
LJ: The Beatles and Christmas are such a good match; the Beatles are totally "the Christmas of rock-and-roll," and the Rolling Stones would be New Year's Eve. I hope Paul is offering me a box of chocolates, because I don't wanna make out with George Harrison in this photo; it looks like he's trying to put the "seXy" in "X-mas," but is failing! Such a strange approach to positioning one's legs in a Christmas-themed photograph. John Lennon, on the other hand, looks like he's about to play Christmas-themed touch football. All I want for Christmas is to play two-on-two Christmas-themed touch football starring John Lennon & Laura Jane vs. Barker & McCartney. Who do you think would win? I think John & I would win due to tenacity of spirit, though Barker & Paul seem like fitter human beings generally. In other news, Paul looks so cute here! He reminds me of a boy I once knew...
Speaking of Christmas and the Beatles, last night was Christmas Eve, and I texted Liz Barker to wish her a Happy Xmas. She texted me back telling me that she was drinking a Pull My Cock Off, which is a variation on the Paul McCartney calling for whiskey instead of vodka and named after the Kinks' mean nickname for Paul. I texted her back and said "I am so going to drink a pmco 2! RIGHT NOW! cosmic pull my cock offs!", and then I drank a Pull My Cock Off, and it was the most perfect, warms-up-your-heart, Wonderful Christmastime drink, and it was the Beatlesiest Christmas Eve ever! Christmas is the Beatles of holidays, and I wish you all your merriest Rudolph yet.

Say something so insightful and witty, it will blow us away. (No pressure.)
Got something to say? We'd love to hear it! Name, email and "type in the weirdo drunken text" thingie are all required to comment; don't worry, we won't email you or anything, we just want to make sure you're not an evil spambot. Keeping in mind the good-times mentality we like to keep going here, we've worked hard to keep NOGOODFORME.COM as fun as possible. We welcome all kinds of comments, but insults/abuse/general bitchery are not tolerated. In other words, we put the smackdown on evil troll posts. If you want to be a hater, please go elsewhere. Now, as Salt 'N Pepa say, "Only the sexy people..."

Totally, but its got to be 70s Stones. SUCKING in the 70s stones.
'Dance (Part 2).' If I was a womaaan.... I would want a new man every NIGHT.
If I was a drummer, I'd never miss the beat. If I was a dancer, y'all'd never see my feet.
That's my '10, baby. Happy holidays, you No Good, low down dogs. Dogs like dawgs.
