      Can we hijack the hacked muzak for some offbeat Christmas music today? Anybody can play Burl Ives or Bing Crosby this time of year.

      My suggestions:
      “The Season’s Upon Us” – Dropkick Murphys
      “The Stocking Song” – Steel Panther (obviously NSFW)
      “Santa Claus and His Old Lady” – Cheech & Chong
      “Silver Bells” – Twisted Sister

      Or if you want to be more traditional, just play The Carpenters’ “Christmas Portrait”. They only seem to play “Merry Christmas, Darling” on the radio, but the entire album’s great.

    I guess I’m just a jaded asshole, but I actually didn’t care much for how this scene played out. As in the past few strips of Garbage Roof. While it was in character, I guess, it just felt so unfulfilling as a reader. But I’m the type to always be critical and I realize such a view is not always welcome.

          I mean, he also probably did it to Sal at some point, so it may be a more general expression of affection than romance.

            Yeah, I am inclined to think it’s just affection from him. Doesn’t mean he wouldn’t bean Billie, though, since he’s described her as like a sister to him multiple times. Of course, she also drunkenly hit on Sal, so who knows how she feels about that. She did go lay in his bed when she was upset about Ruth.

                  Yeah, but considering Billie seems to consider Walky off the relationship table because he’s like a brother, whereas Sal was definitely on the ‘I’d bang her’ table, I don’t see them as sisterly.

    If you don’t celebrate, enjoy the day and remember: there are going to be a LOT of sales on things December 26th – and that includes delicious, delicious candy! (Y’all have NO idea how much candy I’ve eaten since the beginning of December…)

      He thinks he’s inviting A-G, he doesn’t know Amber at all. Which means it would be a spectacularly awkward threesome!
