This Christmas, we are happy for family and friends, but most of all we are happy that nasty case of trench mouth is finally clearing up. Happy Holidays to everyone who spent Christmas Eve in the drunk tank. [YouTube]

Merry Christmas, Wonketters.
God bless us, every one.
Doing a Google Image search for “trench mouth” was the perfect way to start my Christmas morning. Merry Christmas, Sara K. Smith and our other editors!
The power of floss should not be underestimated.
Happy Xmas!
Do I get royalties?
Aw man, I loved this song, but until watching this video I assumed it was sung by a guy in character, not an ACTUAL gross deadbeat with all his teeth falling out
MERRY CHRISTMAS WONKETTE I hope you’ve all Blingee’d your christmas trees and have your trucknutz hung delicately by the fireplace
Triple pay for all editors who work on Christmas!
[re=205466]jagorev[/re]: I did the trench mounth search. I’m sure some google statistician is trying to figure out why that’s in the top 10 christmas searches.
Anyway, for anyone who misses an incredibly boring Christmas speech from their English Granma, here’s the bloody quuen: http://uk.youtube.com/theroyalchannel
Happy New Year Wonketeers… Please enjoy my free 2009 calendar. It’s very sexy, très surreal and includes an image of a naked bird and the Queen with a dog (the cover)! Feel free to share it with all your friends.

Cheers! MISTAHCOUGHDROP
[re=205470]chascates[/re]: Yeah, but they had to give up Christmas bonuses when they fired Campbell Brown.
[re=205472]MISTAHCOUGHDROP[/re]: Paris- you are in Paris? Can you send me some pastries from the Japanese cafe that is near the Marmottan?
Are we going to have any Wonkette “Best….” nominations for 2008?
[re=205469]mattbolt[/re]: Téigh trasna ort féin
[re=205475]finallyhappy[/re]: Hi Finally Happy, I don’t know that one… do you have a name or address? E mail me from the link on my calendar page and I’ll do my best!
and Merry Chanukah to the Palinstein’s.
Note to self:
Next year put pillow over head, and don’t come out until January.
What is that horrible noise? Oh no. It’s happy children with presents. Damn. The sun is shining too. I’m cursed.
[re=205480]shanemcgowan[/re]: There’s whiskey in the jar.
Yeah, whatever mister Hetfield.
Ah, another successful Christmas season is coming to a close. And by “successful,” I mean I’ve managed to go the whole month without hearing that damned “Little Drummer Boy” abomination.
[re=205488]SayItWithWookies[/re]: Oh fantastic. Now it’s stuck in my head. Thanks a lot. Oh why must you people always persecute us Jews at this time of year?!
I am sure that is a lovely video, too bad I cannot watch it since I am trapped in the middle of nowhere with my family and my only connection to the outside world is crappy dial up internet. Merry fucking Christmas. I would like to get drunk and eat leftovers now, but that would require getting out of bed. Too bad.
I LOVE watching Shane McGowan of The Pogues publicly destroy himself with booze and drugs.
It’s so . . . Irish.
It’s also so . . . appropriate for Christmas.
You know, the True Spirit of Hypocracy: Watching another human being with an addiction destroy himself for our collective entertainment.
Sorry, got to go. The Ghost of John Belushi wants to talk to me about Christmas Yet To Come, or something.
[re=205489]Nigerian Business Executive[/re]: Hey, don’t blame me — I’ve got nothin’ against them what killed Our Lord.
That lady in the song/video is Kirsty MacColl. She was used in alot of backing vocals for other bands, like the Smiths.
[re=205492]SayItWithWookies[/re]: And so you torture us with your Holiday Muzak every year and turn our TV shows to saccerine. May you here Little Drummer Boy when you wake up in the morning and when you lie down at night!
[re=205492]SayItWithWookies[/re]: I mean “sacherine.” I think. How do you spell it?
[re=205495]Nigerian Business Executive[/re]: That would be saccharine. Also “hear.”
Benny Benassi vs Gunther at dawn!
Is that the song the Irish couple sang when they got stuck at the airport?
Anyone who got up before noon today is a wanker who just lost the war on christmas.
To the rest of you: wub.
[re=205495]Nigerian Business Executive[/re]: “Sweet N’ Low.” Go back to bed.
Merry Xmas S. Kirsty Smith, you old slut on junk!
Godspeed, fellow Jews alone on Christmas!
Kirsty MacColl, R.I.P. It’s just not Christmas without you.
[re=205490]OffTheRecord[/re]: Psst. Try keepvid.com, you can download most YouTube videos there…so you can watch it in an hour or two. Hope this helps, and merry xmas to all, even the bottoms!
[re=205545]loquaciousmusic[/re]: Jaysus! I saw the Pogues Xmas show in Manchester a coupla weeks ago (Saturday 13th). It turns out that while watching McGowan consume roughly 16 pints of bitter while he is onstage, phrases like “rancid shit-sack,” “vulgar fraud,” “human garbage,” and “cretin” do in fact came to mind.
A lot of palaver about his “new leaf” has been made in the Brit tabs lately but he pissed off an entire arena full of blind-drunk Irish Pogues fanatics. The show shambled to a halt when he passed out after just 70 minutes. I did not understand one fucking thing that he said the entire time and neither did any other bugger in the room. Wanker.
I knew Kirsty and Steve and I have been down to Cozumel many times. Neither the rich swine who owns the boat that killed her in front of her boys nor the drunk who was at the helm when it happened will ever be brought to account.
What a recurring Christmas memory to have! : (
R.I.P. dearie y vaya con Dios.
BTW if you don’t own her solo LP ELECTRIC LANDLADY you owe it to yourself to do so. It’s lovely.
[re=205480]shanemcgowan[/re]: You’re a man you don’t meet every day.
Do the Pogues speak an indo-european language?
[re=205618]SwanSwanH[/re]: Thank you. Noisy cats are we.
[re=205493]windupbird[/re]: UGH! Yes she did do backing vocals for the Smiths, and for Billy Bragg, and she did the vocal arrangements for them and it was very good, but the fact that that is the first thing that comes to some peoples minds about Kirsty MacColl makes me want to scream. She was SUCH a great songwriter, and if the people at Stiff Records hadn’t been such sexist dicks when it came to marketing her she’d have been a big star. Check out the album “Kite” in particular.
[re=205615]agitpropster[/re]: “BTW if you don’t own her solo LP ELECTRIC LANDLADY you owe it to yourself to do so. It’s lovely.”
Agreed. And Kite is even better.
[re=205615]agitpropster[/re]: I’ve got all the Kirsty albums and just about everything she’s sung backing vocals on, too. I dropped an e-mail to Mark Nevin the day after she died. He was, as you can imagine, distraught.
I think about Kirsty every so often. What a terrific talent and what a horrific accident.
