a christmas joke.
Three guys leave their office christmas party and die in a horrible accident. they reach the pearly gates, and are greeted by saint peter.
"In honor of this holy season," Saint Peter said, "You must each possess something that symbolizes Christmas to get into heaven".
The first man fumbles through his pockets and pulls out a lighter. He flicked it on. "It represents a candle," he said. "You may pass through the pearly gates," Saint Peter said.
The second man reaches into his pocket and pulls out a set of keys. He shook them and said, "They're bells." Saint Peter said, "You may pass through the pearly gates."
The third man starts searching desperately through his pockets and finally puls out a pair of panties.
St. Peter looks at the man with a raised eyebrow and asked, "And just what do those symbolize?
The man replied, "They're Carol's."

Brian Eno fucking everywhere. My show yesterday spent a while dwelling on the Eno within a U2 song, starting around 44 minutes in.

@SeanG: And yeah, the other pieces especially dwelled on were John Parr as written by mega-omniwriter David Foster, Toto (who also played in the Parr song), and some over-the-topping extended climaxing of a Philip Glass series.

I should have queued up a Fabio archive for last night's eerie long drive through the near-total lengths of DE and NJ. Roads were virtually deserted except for the occasional pedestrian mysteriously stumbling around, and the street lights cast a strange, far-reaching placid glow.

Well, I recommend it for anyone out there. We didn't watch it because of any seasonal reason, but turns out it makes an interesting NYE or New Year's Day choice. It's sort of a Dickens' "Christmas Carol," only a "New Year's Eve Carol" instead.
