You know you
have watched too much “White Christmas” if…
1. You develop an unnatural craving for liverwurst and buttermilk.
2. You Google “scat-back” to find out what Bing
means about the brunette.
3. Yellow socks become a must-have!
(With garters, or course.)
4. Your favorite Ben & Jerry’s flavor
becomes “Waverly-Graverly”.
5. You want to wash your face, your
hands, your hair with…snow!
6. Danny Kaye becomes a little too
attractive…in that funny-guy sort of way.
7. You strive to light a match with your
thumbnail.
8. Vera Ellen’s waistline begins to looks normal.
9. You find yourself saying, “Gee! I wish I were back in the army…”
10. You know the BEST things happen while you’re
dancing.
Feel free to add your own!
Feel free to add your own!
If you know what all of these mean you have watched far TOO MUCH ‘White
Christmas”! Time for George Bailey…
Sidenote: Holy Crap. I am now older than Bing
Crosby was when he starred in “White Christmas”. Oh--what a world...
I watched this show last night. Boy is there a lot of white people in that.
