A few of the more creative spellings of Christmas I’ve come across while looking for Dear Santa letters in old newspapers this year.

Grandmas were so right about puzzles and knitting and crocheting and solitaire and reading slow and slippers and baking and watching deer in the backyard send post

Things I have learned in today’s research binge:
- All those old school Looney Tunes gags about randomly falling safes and pianos and such are actually based on something.
- Back when freight elevators weren’t a thing and hallways and staircases didn’t have legally mandated minimum widths (and therefore tended to be as narrow as the builders could get away with making them), the only way to deliver bulky furniture to the upper levels of tall buildings was to knock a hole in an exterior wall and raise the item up to it with a crane.
- Predictably, this led to the stupid things getting dropped from a height with fair frequency.
- In spite of this, there are no records of any case in which a random bystander has been crushed by a falling safe or piano.
- There is, however, at least one recorded case of a random bystander dying after walking straight into a hole left in the sidewalk by a safe that had fallen earlier that day.
I’m not sure why, but awful as it is, that last point may be one of the funniest things I’ve ever heard.

Montparnasse’s favorite words are “procured” and “acquired” because it’s a nice middleground between “bought” and “I took it off a corpse”

Every time Disney or Pixar makes a movie with a one word title I just think, how dare you actually, who the hell are you to attach an ordinary everyday word to your IP. The sheer audacity to presume every film they make is that important. It's such transparently cheap viral marketing logic it's obscene.
The worst offender is still "UP." Fucking "UP?" A two letter word everyone says a dozen times a day? Besides the greed of planting a little Disney flag on the word UP of all things, it was empty of any fun or whimsy and communicated nothing about the film except that something or other goes "up," which is technically true of every film ever made, at some point. A single word as mundane as UP or FROZEN or TANGLED does not capture a child's imagination. Words like DRAGONS or ROBOTS, yes, but in Japan they changed the title of "UP" to "Grandpa Carl's Flying House" and whose curiosity wouldn't be piqued by that?? Of course I want to know why grandpa Carl has a flying fucking house you morons
