“There is something about spending Christmas alone, naked, sitting by the Christmas tree gripping a shotgun, that lets you know your life is spinning dangerously outta control.” --- Nikki Sixx
Happy 53rd birthday, Nikki. Hope your holidays are far more mellow this year, sir.

That's right: Rick Perry wore the same jacket in his anti-gay ad that Heath Ledger wore in Brokeback Mountain.
This might be my favorite moment of the day.

Remember the penguins that were rescued following the New Zealand oil spill? 49 were recently returned to the wild! Thanks to all the global support they received---from funds to sweaters---they get to be home again.
Oh, warm and happy thoughts! Ear-to-ear grins! Yeeeeee!

It's John Elroy Sanford's 89th birthday.
You might know him better as Redd Foxx.
Who doesn't love Redd Foxx? If you raised your hand, kindly leave this blog. It clearly states in the nonexistent AbFabulisa rules that in order to hang out here, you must love Redd Foxx, OK?
Any haters left? All gone? Good. Let's move on, then.
The story of Redd's death is classic. We'll use the Wikipedia version.
On October 11, 1991, during a break from rehearsals for The Royal Family, he suffered a fatal heart attack on the set. Reportedly, co-star Della Reese and the rest of the cast and crew thought he was doing his classic "I'm coming, Elizabeth!" fake heart attack routine he made famous on Sanford and Son, even going as far as collapsing to the floor, although that was not part of the usual act. However, this heart attack was real, and Foxx did not regain consciousness.
We love and miss you, Redd. Happy birthday.

Birthday, birthday on the wall... who is the fiercest one of all?
Flip Wilson: 78
Jim Morrison: 68
Sorry, Lizard King devotees... I'm totally going with Flip. When it comes to fierceness, you simply can't beat Geraldine Jones, honey!

Oh, Meatless Monday --- we hardly knew ye!
I barely made it three months, I think. It's been so long since I fell off the MM wagon that I can't exactly remember.
Damn it, meat! Why must you taste so delicious! I know it's wrong, but it tastes so friggin' right. Meeeeeat, leave me beeee! At least on Mondays, OK?
Should I make a total mockery of Meatless Monday and try do it again? Perhaps DJB will help keep me on the straight and narrow. He might like Meatless Mondays. As always, I'll keep you posted.
Did you take the Meatless Monday challenge? If so, how are you doing? Hopefully better than I.

Once again, total douchebag Jesse James is running his fool mouth.
I swear, whenever this moron speaks, sheer tripe spills out. If you saw American Chopper: The Build-Off last night, then you know what I'm talking about.
Last night, rather than talk about the program's topic (bike building), he talked smack about---you guessed it---Sandra Bullock, who wisely divorced him last year because he cheated on her with multiple women. He basically told the American Chopper guys that she turned him into a fake Hollywood husband, which he regrets.
"I became a big shot and married some Hollywood actress and didn’t talk to anybody anymore, so I feel bad," he said. "I feel obligated to reconnect with all these people and show 'em that I'm still the same fabricator motorcycle guy. I'm not what I became."
Wowwww..."some Hollywood actress." Seriously? Could this guy be any more pathetic? Sadly, I think the answer is yes, as he truly shows no signs of pulling his head out of his ass anytime soon. What a shame.
I'm about ready to make a sign, hit the streets and go on strike against Jesse James.

Feast your sicko eyes upon the wonderful, oh-so-dark world of photographer Mariel Clayton.
Why did she do it?
"Because I hate Barbie," Clayton said in a Street Couch interview. "I intensely dislike the stereotype that the 'ideal' female fits no current authentic female form. You can’t get to be Barbie without an ocean’s worth of peroxide, 27 plastic surgeries and a complete lack of intelligence, so it irritates me immensely that this is the toy of choice women give to their daughters to emulate."
Today we have birthdays for two dead people whom I admire very much.

The snow and biting wind inspired DJB to don the following ensemble before leaving the house this morning. Seksi, no?
