The Annual Humphries Family Christmas Letter – 2009
The Christmas Tree is up. The mistletoe hung. The vodka-laced Egg Nog imbibed twice hourly. Yup, tis the season although it really can’t be declared official until you get through reading the annul dissertation covering all things Humphries in the Year 2009. Well, now that your kindly mail man has seen fit to deliver this parchment into your mittens, it’s time to stoke the fire, settle down into your favorite easy chair, pour yourself another glass of that nefarious nog and enjoy this little spin through our own special fantasia. As with every letter we’ve sent before, everything you are about to read is for the most part, true, save a little embellishment. It shouldn’t be too hard to spot the few spots that I’ve pumped up for maximum enjoyment. Without further adieu, I present... Continue reading »

The 2009 Ho Ho Ho Throwdown – Round 2 – Results Edition
UPDATED – Answers and the updated Leaderboard can be found below. Round 3 (the Final Round) will be up Monday morning, December 21st.
All right, we’ve got 19 contestants and so far, it’s anyone’s game. I’d say that’s a pretty good turnout and one that is likely to remain competitive through the next two rounds. After that, you can forget all about me and my silly little games and get on with the merry.
The rules are the same but I have to say them over and over until they are tattooed to your neural nest. You have until 8:00 p.m. Wednesday December 16th to send me your answers. They should be e-mailed to theedzone@gmail.com or send me a message on Facebook. Answers and the updated Leaderboard will be posted on Thursday morning. And then the final r... Continue reading »

UPDATE: The results are in. Answers and Leaderboard can be found below. We’ve got a great turnout so this should be one helluva’ contest.

There’s no obligation to buy anything – we get a tiny little bit of compensation for clicks, so every little click goes towards keeping the lights on at the site. If you could do it every time you swing by, that would be awesome. All right – corporate shill is over. Round 2 will be up Monday morning – December 14th.
And so it begins.
As I mentioned the other day, the rules are simple.
Every Monday (starting today), I will post a series of 10 trivia questions. Anyon... Continue reading »
The 2009 Ho Ho Ho Throwdown
The winner of the UFC? The Octagon?? Thunderdome???
Pussies!!!
Holiday Pop-Culture Trivia. That’s how we separate the superhuman from the rest of you bottom-dwellers. If you want to find a real champion, the eyes of the cyberworld are here upon my little postage stamp of web real estate - where over the next three weeks, a battle royale will wage to rock the pillars of hell. Or at the very least, to make the interminable march towards the Big Day, Christmas morn, fly a little more swiftly. Ohhhhh, I hope I got that new Balloon Boy Bobble Head.
As you know, over the last three years I have decided to inject some levity and bloodsportsmanship into my annual holiday party through the marriage of Holiday Pop-Culture Themed Trivia Questions with Traditional Yankee Swap. And,... Continue reading »
