"A Christmas Story" is now on TBS . . .

Wow, that's an early end for Christmas.

2 things:

1). We do all our gift opening, festive meal, etc on Christmas Eve. Christmas Day is somewhat anticlimactic in my family since there's not a lot of them in town, and

B). Most years I have to be at work at Ass O' Clock to get things set up for the post-Christmas sale. Which means turning in at 7 in the evening or so, which happens to be when the last airing of A Christmas Story ends.

Actually the last showing of A Christmas Story ended at 8 pm, and not long after I had to be in bed.

I was at work at 4:55 a.m. this morning. Needless to say, my Christmas was rather short.

I've never understood why people would hate the movie. *shrug*

Largely because of the plot (such as it was). Little boy gets treated like shit by everyone he comes across largely because he is a little shit himself.

It just seems more to me to be a how-to book of how NOT to behave than a Christmas classic.

[Andara Bledin]

He's a little boy during the Christmas season acting like a little boy during Christmas. I'm not really sure how he's a "little shit." *shrug*

If anything, IMHO, Ralphie's practically an angel compared to the obnoxious little...ummmm....children.... I see every now and then.

[Irving Patrick Freleigh]

You gotta admit it's worth it to see Ralphie beat the crap out of Scut Farkas.

I did just about everything Ralphie did in the movie. "Little shit" is a pretty accurate description of me as a young child.

Did you fantasize about getting a BB gun and your teacher giving you an "A+++++" grade on the board while sounding like a porn star having an orgasm?

(My memory's a bit off but that's how I'd describe it)

As far as the movie is concerned, when I was a kid, I only remember as far as the "you'll shoot your eye out" bit from the teacher.

I ended up watching it more recently and man oh man....
