The stickers stick quickly to the point, and those stinkers hope to make you snicker, as we see more and more of them posted here and there. Often they throw counter-culture into the current culture, or consist of a throwback to a thing (omnipresent?) like Where’s Waldo. See them on the back of stop signs or edge of light poles near you. (And in recent adds to this post, seen below, did it begin with the DOT? Or the HHAA launch party?) —– And those who messaged with a wish to subscribe … see this post’s end.

Methinks this may be the new torrid tagging. Hey, grafitti can actually be a bit of a good gig, and […]

Where, says we, be those (wily) wondrous ones? See The End, Jim. Still, this was the New Year’s Eve That Was. (An Old editor milked that very phrase until it got Old, like a passing Year when the promise comes of The New.) But this was just a bit different. So we’re a Victim of Changes, as since post-pandemic it’s been the newbies, with their own knack, out and not so much the old guard, but for a few. I’ll take the (bit naked?) nuances of the new in chronological order. —- And now just added at the end from The Day, I will throw it on back to you.

From big ribeye to risotto, and that’s just for starters on this New Year’s Eve that also includes music, you can do it all on Sunday night into Monday morning. Grill and fill, or chill, because you still will not have to worry about the bill you put in the till. (As you can get dinner for two and a bottle of wine plus dessert for $70 — see below — if you go to the right place, and here’s a primer of picks.) Now tacked on the end, is a preview, a lowkey Saturday the night before.

This is a tale that must be told, and I hold dear, and I can still tell it! (As there are, officially, 12 Days of Christmas.) What was put up for people to see, and be seen? As such, here is what I saw in decorations on both ends of the state of Wisconsin. From Santas to sleighs and bells, snowmen to strings of lights, sleds to Christmas stockings. No snow, but there are other visual ways to go, to do the holidays!

Why, pray-tell, did it take those Three Wise Men so long to get to Bethlehem? (I swear if it was me, it would be more like 3,000 years on the road, and with smelly camels — see below — it’s no fun!) I’d maybe pull in by this spring. And that’s if I didn’t part the Red Sea and buy some time, bridges out, camel-lane closures. All but for that classic World Music Tour title, Death On The Road! Perhaps those days, you’d have used up one-tenth of your lifespan when coming close to Persia. Persistence of those countries to cross.

Santa has Them Bones too, or so in grunge, says Alice, and thus lifts her Chains like the old ghost seen by Scrooge. Lit up, to again lift up, using their very pale whiteness aside, like a Christmas tree. Merging holidays — sorry to Scrooge — occurring in past, present and future times. But for now, and to forego any more word-like Reindeer-Like Games, its Father Christmas! (And at the end is new info, seasonally sanctioned song stuff.)

There still are and were several Santas seen, some on the more secularly sinister and not sacred side. Seriously. But

The grocery store lines are way back — like getting offsale or into that hit music club — almost to the produce aisle end, and so you keep switching, and shifting … Swerve to self-serve? Maybe need to stay put, just like choosing not to lane-hop on a backed-up freeway, as you are approaching That Last Sitting Still Car. (Or shopping cart.) And you thought Black Friday was bad? Back In Black? —– Or in Purple, after many years, but at Ziggy’s it was zeros after the first quarter, so yikes for Vikes! See Picks Of The Week.
