ryan and guerrin review the radio city christmas spectacular through gchat.
- guerrin.gardner: how bout all that jesus last night?
- ryanfeyk: I dont know about you, but it filled me up with christlove
- guerrin.gadner: i wasn't convinced until the blinding angel star really lit up
- ryanfeyk: I didnt mind it, I just didnt know why they weren't tap dancing
- guerrin.gardner: no kidding. and um, we can explode fireworks in the toy maker scene but not for the birth of our lord and savior?
- ryanfeyk: and it creeped me out that those unsupervised children were spending christmas by themselves reading the bibile
- bible even
- guerrin.gardner: i realize patrick was probably a very short 20 year old playing a 14 year old, but where were the parents?
- that depressed me
- ryanfeyk: divorced probably
- thats why he was so cynical
- guerrin.gardner: he hated everything
- ryanfeyk: until he went to the north pole and almost got devoured by the Rockettes
- guerrin.gardner: until he flew!!!!
- ryanfeyk: oh, and I dont know if this was just me
- but I had kind of a weird reaction with all the lady reindeer in the beginning
- ok, they're reindeer, fine
- but then santa shows up and starts harnessing them to the sleigh
- like "Pull my sleigh now, bitches!"
- guerrin.gardner: yeah totally. and i dont know who santa was fooling- those were the ROCKETTES in santa costumes, ok?
- ryanfeyk: pfft
- I seriously almost said something
- although
- the rockettes dressed as toy soldiers...
- guerrin.gardner: i liked when that usher(?) person started getting all aretha during the jesus part and singing, "hes our savior, hes our savior"
- ryanfeyk: I dont know, it confused me in a good way
- guerrin.gardner: with mariah hands
- ryanfeyk: yeah! the black guy!
- thats why they hired him
- guerrin.gardner: "we need a black guy to go to town in this part"
- ryanfeyk: its a recent addition
- it didnt really fly in the 50's
- guerrin.gardner: no it did not.
- but he was an usher, so maybe...
- i didnt notice any asians in that show
- i guess we're not there yet. baby steps.
- ryanfeyk: I dont know, we were pretty far away
- oh, there we asians!
- the chinese pandas
- there were, even
- guerrin.gardner: ohhhhhh yeah
- my bad
- ryanfeyk: they bowed and kicked
- like asian people like to do
- guerrin.gardner: and wore little straw worker hats
- and kimonos
- ryanfeyk: I cringed a little bit
- but kept positive
- guerrin.gardner: i did a lot of cringing and keeping positive
- ryanfeyk: hahaha
- guerrin.gardner: except for when the rocketes were on the tour bus and the screen was moving. i had to really focus on my vodka soda
- car sick
- ryanfeyk: yeah that was just really long
- guerrin.gardner: they went down every god damn street in new york
- ryanfeyk: like I give a shit about this place
- guerrin.gardner: and apparently new york is real, real curvy and loopy
- i liked when we hit times square in the 3d part and saw all the ads that matched up to the ads in the lobby!
- ryanfeyk: Capital One and Christmas go hand in hand
- guerrin.gardner: "you get to put your logo on 3 wreathes in the lobby, get exposure in the animated 3d section, a 4x6 ad in our program and 6 VIP tickets for you and yours"
- ryanfeyk: I was so happy to get a beer
- but then my friend Andrew got a hot cocoa
- and I felt like a scumbag
- guerrin.gardner: after or before?
- ryanfeyk: well, I felt like he believes in christmas more than I did
- guerrin.gardner: probably
- ryanfeyk: I looked like I was at a baseball game
- guerrin.gardner: he most likely knew about the jesus part ahead of time
- whatever, i saw some dude with a soft pretzel
- honestly, i think even jesus was rolling his eyes during that part
- i did like the real camels and donkey
- ryanfeyk: tiffany wants a mule now
- where am I going to get a freaking mule
- guerrin.gardner: easy: jaspers mule emporium
- ryanfeyk: yes, but surely the savings he promises have to be some kind of scam
- guerrin.gardner: i dont know. times are tough. i think he's a part of the cash for clunkers deal.
- ryanfeyk: well, I do have an old, sick mule
- I was thinking about just putting him out in the yard and letting the ants have him
- guerrin.gardner: no man, you could probably get like 15 bucks for it
- ryanfeyk: I'm really ready to be out of this freaking office
