Do You Want From Santa? https://kotaku.com/what-do-you-want-from-santa-5433659 Mine is a family raised on bad puns and inscrutable inside jokes. We deliberately corrupt words and then use them in conversation without batting an eye. For example, dinner might be “country-style snake.” Or, salmon is “slalom,” (and a big portion is “giant slalom.”) Chapstik, or any lip balm, is “lip blam.” The child in a Nativity scene is “LBJ,” short for “Lil’baby Jesus.”(new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c&cid=872d12ce-453b-4870-845f-955919887e1b'; cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c" }).render("79703296e5134c75a2db6e1b64762017"); [[link]] }); Sure, plenty of people call the housewares big box “Bloodbath and Beyond.” But to my brother and me, we buy hardware at “Home Despot.” And speaking of despots, who better to pretreat your laundry than
the “Stalin Stick”?
The best example: Back in 1992, Dad got a Ford Explorer for his company car (this was later my vehicle in Colorado. Covering a wildfire once, Crecente remarked that despite all the smoke around us it still smelled of “french fries and ass.”) Well, like Letterman from the Electric Company, all you have to do is change one letter and the name becomes even more hilarious. Thus, “Explorer,” quickly became “Exploder.”
Well, this week I had to head down to the Autozone to replace my Mustang’s [[link]] battery. It had been pampered by California weather for four years and then brutalized by the cold snap earlier this month. Out in the parking lot I’m hooking it up when when this very nice-looking white F-350 pulls up and unloads a young family. The dad’s about my age, the mom, too, and then their two tow-headed rugrats come piling out.
“Nice Ford,” I say, “my mother has one like that, drags a horse trailer with it.” “Thanks,” says the dad. “It was a real bargain, only about $7,000.” And then standing on the far side of the continent,
2,800 miles from from my home in North Carolina, he adds without provocation: “After we got rid of The Exploder.” Some highlights from the holiday weekend: [[link]] Wait – New Game Plus Is in Mass Effect 2?

Some games are a bit laggy on my phone at times, but the variety of games and the smooth desktop experience make up for it. Overall, the website offers a great gaming experience for both casual and serious players.
