Complex Numbers

Revisited: "Enjoy this Christmas"

A couple of weeks ago, I revisited an entry that I noted was probably my shortest one ever, but wasn't about to check.

So, behold, today the RNG gives me, from December 24, 2010, is longer by a word or two: "Enjoy this Christmas" 

...that is, of course, if you don't count the ~4 min linked video which, much to my surprise, is still available as of this writing. I'm not going to embed it again, because I don't find it as amusing as I did 13 years ago.

Nothing wrong with it, of course; it's John Cleese narrating a parody of Night Before Christmas. I don't find it offensive or outdated, just a bit hacky, like most parodies that I didn't write. And the video graphics seem dated. I'm clearly a different person now, with a slightly different sense of humor, than I was in those halcyon days of yore.

Also, apparently, video embedding here is older than I thought. My sense of time is whacked, sometimes. And no, not because I'm linking a Christmas video in August; that's just the inevitable result of using a random number generator to pick these older entries. I'm not encouraging Christmas creep here; let us at least get through Halloween, and preferably also Thanksgiving here in the US, before we start up with the Santa shit again.

Which means, sadly, Cleese lied.
