CRACKED ROUND-UP: Christmas Edition!
It's that time of year again! All around the world, loving families join together under flickering Christmas trees to exchange gifts and bask in the glow of one another's love. Of course, Cracked hires mostly orphaned loners (it cuts down on medical costs), so none of us have any idea what that could be like. We've got a tree made out of coat-hangers and old jeans though, so that's something.
Oh, and schnapps. Gallons and gallons of peppermint schnapps laced with soothing formaldehyde. Merry Christmas, everyone!
Soren Bowie showed his appreciation of "lesser" people by sheathing his intellect in the words of the Common Man for a heartwarming Christmas letter. Following up was Chris Bucholz, who gave a detailed guide to the crashing of Royal Weddings. As if we needed more tips. Brockway celebrated the birth of a future undead by chronicling 6 Near Death Experiences caught on video. Seanbaby closed us off with 1969 Frosty's take on the War Against Christmas.

Notable Comment:"Great I read that in time! I'm having open heart surgery tomorrow and I'm so glad I don't have to go under the magnet! What's the worst that could happen? That I'm conscious when the doctor sets me on fire and then pumps me full of chicken soup? Wait ... do I hear the nurses already coming to wheel me away? NOT WANT!"

Notable Comment: "BBut you see, the death of Jean Grey wasn't for the fan*boys*: it was for the fan*girls*. After all, with Jean out of the way, Wolverine and Cyclops are now free to cry on each other. And hug. Maybe kiss a little bit? Yeah. Now grab his crotch. Oh, Wolverine likes that, doesn't he?"
Thanks Pliny, but this isn't Fanfiction.net.

Notable Comment: "As mentioned below, one of the MAIN things regarding the Krampus in Austria (and some places in Bavaria) is the Krampus laufen. Many people line the streets of cities and towns, and young men dressed up as these horrid Krampus (not just some s**tty costume, but really impressive costume) and they walk around with straw whips and whip the spectators. No it doesnt hurt bad, but if you bust a kid in the ass, it would probably have the kid hurting."
Add vodka and ketamine and you've just described our ideal Saturday.
