Had a blast sitting in for Bryan this afternoon, Scrooge-like I decided to limit any Christmas records to just one an hour, but relented in the final hour when I played two! These were accompanied by some of the worst Christmas cracker type jokes imaginable, here’s just a few that didn’t make it to air –
Q: If athletes get athletes foot, what do astronauts get?
A: Missletoe!
Q: What do you get when you cross a snowman with a vampire?
A: Frostbite.
Q: Why was Santa’s little helper depressed?
A: Because he had low elf esteem.
Hope I had some listeners left!
I then had the situation where I played a couple of tracks that turned out to be The Two Twin Terrible Tongue Twisters. First it was The Shins – Simple Song, followed by Owl City – Shooting Star. I ended up practising with She Sells Sea Shells by the Seashore. Well you have to be very careful with that Owl City track!
And yes I abandoned my 11 week old pup to do the show. I stressed about him all afternoon but when I got home he was curled up on his bed fast asleep. Good Boy! Extra treats tonight.
