Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas

Go to my folks house today to find that Dad was heading out to complete his Christmas shopping. More power to him, I reckon.

I did most of the shopping online this year. I work too much customer service. Didn't want to get myself caught up in it this year.

Me? I'm going to spend my day Maxin' and Relaxin, as a famous man we once called The Fresh Prince once said.

So. Want to take a second to wish you folks a Very Merry Christmas.

And I'll leave you with the top four facts I bet you didn't know about The Fresh Prince:

1.) In his prime, Will Smith could outrun a horse, over short distances.

2.) Will Smith was born Marvelina Reyes in Guatamala. He became Will Smith (and the Fresh Prince by extension) after a rocket accident. The recuperation process was not entirely unlike the one that made Steve Austin the Six Million Dollar Man, and was in fact that basis for that show.

3.) Will Smith has written 79 novels under various pseudonyms. Will Smith is J.K. Rowling. J.K. stands for "Jiggy King." Nah nah nah nah nuh nah nah. He is also Bentley Little and Laverle Spencer.

4.) The hit song "Summertime," as performed by D.J. Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince is the cause of Global Warming. Luckily for us, Will is hard at work on correcting the problem. It is not a process without kinks: He wrote a "Wintertime" song, but early testing of the song revealed that mass release of the song (surely a hit) would have driven us into a new Ice Age. Rest assured: Will is on the motherfucker.
