Audio Advent Calendar #4: "Mr. Grinch", by Mojo Nixon

Audio Advent Calendar, December 4.

The original version of the classic You’re a Mean One, Mister Grinch was sung in a very impressive basso profundo by the late Thurl Ravenscroft, whom you might know as the voice of Tony the Tiger. What I present to you is a cover more suitable for your hard-drinkin’ Christmas party by country-fried rocker Mojo Nixon.

Tired of Juicy Fruit? Looking to expand your chewing gum horizons? Check this out:

(Big deal, I say. In my opinion, cats are just egg rolls waiting to happen.)

If you’re based in Montreal (Billegible, I’m lookin’ at you!), the guy who took the picture says he got this pack at the cigar/magazine store at the corner of Bleury and Ste-Catherine.

If you like this sort of thing, you’re in luck: this is just one of several gum packages offered by Blue Q.

Who knew that recommendation engines could be funny? This made me laugh out loud.

Go to the Philips Norelco BG2020 Men’s Bodygroom page at Amazon.com and take a look at the “Customers who bought this item also bought” section:

The "Global Nerdy" Plug

C’mon, what tech but Global Nerdy site would even come up with a graph like this?

That’s from our article that takes a shot at Kathy “Creating Passionate Users” Sierra’s nonsense entry on the term “Web 2.0”. We’ve also got pieces on the Beatles’ exclusive deal with iTunes store, and Andy Ihnatko’s scathing review of the Zune.

I don’t watch The Maury Povich Show, but it seems that every promo ad for the show features a paternity test…
