<\/p>\nSo we’ve got Wilbur Weston’s mysterious “illegitimate son” going to meet his father.\u00a0 Too bad a mustachioed cab driver drove (heh) several Comics Curminions to bad memories of the most famous mustachioed Santa Royalian of them all!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Sort of like that Christmas ghost story that English dude Dickens wrote, huh?<\/p>\n
Over in the Big Apple, Margo’s parents (who never married — yeah, Margo’s a bastard, too, as if that weren’t apparent) are cozying up during the holidays, and her dad Martin presents her mom with ruby earrings. Or something:<\/p>\n
(As sung by Mark Trail) I punched the sheriff. Sheriff Stogie always hated me, I punched the sheriff. Of course, heartfelt lyrics like that absolutely demand chorus of backup singers.\u00a0 Suitably cute (so Mark doesn’t feel obliged to punch them, too):<\/p>\n The Holidays are a WHIRLWIND!!!<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" So we’ve got Wilbur Weston’s mysterious “illegitimate son” going to meet his father.\u00a0 Too bad a mustachioed cab driver drove (heh) several Comics Curminions to bad memories of the most famous mustachioed Santa Royalian of them all!

And CC’s own bourbon babe, unbuckled<\/em> paid tribute to Mark Trail’s daring assault on Otis P. Cornpone, Sheriff of the Law in Backwater County, in an attempt to save Rusty before the tide came in or he was eaten by crabs or pelicans or sand fleas:<\/p>\n
\n
\nI punched the sheriff
\nBut I didn\u2019t punch the deputy, oh no!
\nI punched the sheriff
\nBut I didn\u2019t punch the deputy,
\nYeah! All around in this beach town,
\nThey\u2019re trying to track me down;
\nThey say they want to bring me in guilty
\nFor the punching of a deputy,
\nFor the nose of a deputy.
\nBut I say:<\/p>\n
\nBut I swear it was for Rusty\u2019s sake.
\nI say: I punched the sheriff \u2013 Oh, gosh! \u2013
\nAnd they say it was a big mistake.<\/p>\n
\nFor breaking into that store:
\nEvery time that I stole a jack,
\nHe said hey, son, give that back \u2013
\nHe said hey, son, give that back.
\nAnd so:<\/p>\n
\nBut I swear it was for Rusty\u2019s sake.
\nWhere was the deputy?
\nI say: I punched the sheriff,
\nAnd I hope that Rusty\u2019s still awake. <\/em><\/p>\n![\"new-pbs\"](\"http:\/\/snarkitupfuzzball.nexiliscom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/new-pbs.jpg\" "\\"new-pbs\\"")
