What could be more apropos The Mall than a cheesy Christmas record repeated incessantly? Loop on, kids.
  9:32am
tengel:

Vivid Christmas memory: I was quite young, just beginning to feel comfortable walking on my own. My family had just sat down for some Christmas dessert when we all heard someone ho-ho-hoing and ringing a really big bell outside. So everyone runs to the back door and there is a guy dressed as Santa climbing over people's backyard fences. Naturally, us kids freaked out. Our parents told us years later that it was our next door neighbor's brother who had a few too many drinks.
  9:33am
bw:

cinnebun for everyone! merry christmas Doron!

  10:01am
detroitdave:

Hey Liz, since your in the mall and you don't go on for a while and I need some things. I need a bare bones dancing hula girl with the mount-o-matic base, couple packs of Polaroid film, red stockings (you pick the material) and a bottle of champaign? That will get my list started. Thanks

  10:09am
dc pat:

kent: watch it, that's Ike's territory.
  10:09am
Ken:

That was freakin surreal walkin through the mall looking for you guys.. I almost got run over by a Mall zamboni.
  10:11am
kent goldings:

  10:16am
bw:

  10:20am
m:

oh man, forget the holidays, let's just throw on the rest of monster movie

  10:27am

They have it for download on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00138F3AK/ref=dm_sp_alb
  10:32am
gumby:

Hey thanks for Riverside Drive Christmas, I dig this one.
  10:33am
GP:

Did the person who took that photo run off with your camera after the shot was taken?
  10:34am
dc pat:

YEAH, SONICS!
  10:34am
Ken:

Dropouts happening....not too bad though. You might think about connecting the booster equipment..
  10:35am
dc pat:

man, 32k feed is breakin' up today. Anybody else having a problem?
  10:36am
Ike:

Hey Kent, thanks for filling in for me while I was stuck on NJ Transit. Heh.

DC Pat, no champagne for you.
  10:36am
Ken:

It's the wireless feed from the mall that is breaking up, not the streams.
  10:37am
jjohn:

yup dropouts here. thanks for the waitresses!
  10:37am
~L:

What floor are you on? Where would I find you? What store are you next to? Help, I have mallaphobia!
  10:37am
Ken:

Liz and Benjamen - breakups getting worse... connect the booster gear if you can.
  10:39am
Ken:

They are on the ground floor in the mall, just outside Macy's, near Kohls, at the base of the elevator. You have good reason to be afraid of malls... I suffer from Mall Anxiety which is why I couldn't hang around when I visited them..
  10:39am
bw:

we just moved - should be ok now now
  10:45am
kat:

Amy Allison, "Garden State Mall," si vous plait!

Parq:

"Five Pound Box of Money" was one of my late father's favorite Yultide gag lines. 'Scuse the unironic sentiment, but thanks so much for bringing a nostalgic smile to my tired old face.
  10:47am
jason:

apparently there are 640 bills to the pound, in case you were wondering
  10:48am
jeff m:

no unironic comments allowed, for God sakes it's Christmas
  10:51am
dc pat:

good work jason, I was wondering. So, you really need more of a 50 or 500 pound box of money.
  10:51am
Parq:

Yah, well I know I'm breaking format. Sorry. Jason, my stock retort to the old man was that it was a box of pennies.
  10:53am
amar:

that picture is the hotness
  10:53am
dc pat:

hey speakin of santa and mars, anybody see the Flaming Lips movie Christmas on Mars?
  10:55am
Zorg:

Minions:
Bow down to receive your holiday gift allotment from Zoomah your Martian overlord.
  10:56am
Sean Daily:

Nor even close to first commetn! Woo hoo!
  10:56am
kat:

"Walk on the Mild Side," Big Daddy Graham!
  10:57am
detroitdave:

Sounds like were gonna need a picture update from the mall
  11:00am
jeff m:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santa_Claus_Conquers_the_Martians

this is a classic Santa / Mars film. Sort of like the Plan 9 of Christmas movies.
  11:03am
bw:

trent's photo stream

  11:07am
dave:

http://www.flickr.com/photos/tront/3110069445/
nice!
  11:11am
dc pat:

ok, got Santa Conquers the Martians on netflix list. Thanks jeff
  11:16am
jeff m:

hehe, you might regret that
  11:20am
dc pat:

are you kidding? I live for that kind of crap.
  11:23am
Parq:

Pat, you won't regret it. I am old enough to remember seeing TV commercials for the original theatrical release of "Conquors", and I can assure you that it is a quality product.
  11:24am
happy listener:

I'm getting dropouts in the stream, is it the remote broadcast?
  11:25am
Ken:

Yes, it's the crappy wireless reception at the mall that is causing all of the dropouts.
  11:25am
jeff m:

yeah that one was particularly bad
  11:26am
happy listener:

aside from that, broadcasting from the mall is a great idea
  11:27am
happy listener:

where's the pic of ol' bard Nick?
  11:29am
cb:

Santa Claus is a black man? What's next, a black president?
  11:31am
Ike:

I saw "Conquers" on MST3K years ago, and I was disappointed. It was not even a tenth as entertainingly awful as most of the MST3K catastrophes. Too self-aware, for one thing.
  11:33am
dc pat:

HEY cut it out Ike! I'm looking forward to it.
  11:36am
jeff m:

i only meant you might regret it as a joke. It's definitely worth taking it a look at. You can even sometimes buy it in drug and grocery stores for like 2$. It's definitely a "special" film.
  11:37am
dave:

http://www.flickr.com/photos/tront/3110165855/
woo-hoo!
  11:39am
jeff m:

who knew they still made rubber chickens :)
  11:39am
Aaron:

Hey just a playlist correction, Zat Yoi Santa Claus was sung by Louis Armstrong not Jordan
  11:41am
stingy d:

p doody
  11:51am
cb:

Excellent drunken Christmas medley.
  11:52am
stingy d:

hi i am listening and the stream cuts out and stuff, is that gonna happen on the arhcive?
  11:53am
gumby:

Are we gonna get some "Daddies drinkin' up our Christmas"
  11:53am
dc pat:

this daddy's gonna git drunk!
  11:55am
cb:

just don't make mama cry!
  11:56am
happy listener:

http://www.flickr.com/photos/tront/3110822314/ - awesome remote setup, guys! geeky gear-envy to the max!
  11:57am
dc pat:

it's more than likely, being at her parent's house, that if I DON'T drink, mama's gonna cry because of my mood...
  11:58am
dave:

EVACUATE!
  11:59am
?:

I forgot to say, what was up with playing that frackin' cliched and brutally ear-bleedingly awful Chipmunks bull-Schlitz at 9:05? I was on the Newark Light Rail so I couldn't comment in real time but I was like, "Aw, HELL NO!" I had to switch it off immediately -- did you at least start abusing it a few minutes in? PLEASE tell me you did a mash-up or switched over to the altered "real voices" version. Anyway I'm glad it got better after that, with no more cliches.

Oh and if I see any carolers, I'm smacking them with a dead fish. Merry freakin' Xmas!
  12:00pm
Ike:

Oops, that was me. As if you couldn't tell.
  12:02pm
dc pat:

jeeZUS lighten up Ike. It's not like they used bad grammar or something...
  12:05pm
Ike:

That's as light as I get! But I should also say that I loved "Back Door Santa." At least for the title.
  5:44pm
