You'll shoot your eye out!

December's here, and that means I can drag out my copy of A Christmas Story and watch it with impunity. Now don't get me wrong. I've watched ACS in the sweltering heat of August, but there's just something secretly embarrassing about watching a Christmas movie out-of-season. Someone unexpectedly drops by the house while the tape is playing, you almost feel like you got caught watching porn or something...

Speaking of which (and they don't call me The King of Segues for nothin'), did you know that Scotty Schwartz, who played Flick in "A Christmas Story" had such a difficult time finding work in mainstream film is now working in, uhh... "the adult film industry"? Recent efforts include New Wave Hookers 5, Dirty Bob's Xcellent Adventures 35 and the clearly superior Dirty Bob's Xcellent Adventures 36. Post your own joke about getting his tongue stuck to a pole here...
