He\u2019s a copy write lawyer now, so nothing different there, and the holidays are just the same tired shit they\u2019ve always been as well.  We\u2019ve been through it before and we\u2019ll get through it again, this magical time of year.  But maybe, at least for an hour or so, we can lighten your mental load with a big box of <strong>What Could Go Wrong?<\/strong>  Consider it a short vacation in the middle of a long, long December.<\/p>\n<p>Thieves!  They\u2019re everywhere!  They&#8217;re stealing Santas, egg nog, toilet paper, and the dead.  And the assault on asses continues with another botched butt enhancement (sorry, no pictures).  And then there are the weird stories, like the guy who got himself shot right next to his own grave, proving it pays to plan ahead.  Also planning ahead, one guy sends Christmas cards from the grave.  And finally, somebody threw a rock into a Salvation Army kettle . . . a really nice, glittery rock.<\/p>\n<p>The stink-pit that is the subject of this week\u2019s <em>Bad Movie Review<\/em> is<strong> Scream Bloody Murder<\/strong> from 1973.  Enjoy the story of how one boy with an Oedipus complex runs across some of the nicest, most pleasant people you\u2019d ever want to meet.  Oh, and then he kills their asses dead.  That\u2019s what you get for being nice.  What begins as a P.S.A. about farm equipment safety eventually degenerates into a \u201cOne-Armed Bandit\u201d version of <strong>Grand Theft Auto<\/strong>.  Also, this <em>Pretty Good Unintentionally Bad Movie <\/em>marks the screen debut of Famous Amos (not really, but if you don\u2019t watch this movie with some candy on hand, you\u2019re going to want to go out and buy some).<\/p>\n<p><em>Matthew surprises Vera by giving her her own palette knife;<\/em><br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"420\" height=\"315\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ObbsyKKHYic\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><em>The evil Matthew smothers an old lady in an epic battle!
