Good column. I'm glad you survived SoCal Treepocalypse 2011.

I think the title is a play on 'Father' Christmas... don't know if you call him that in the US...

This is why you buy solar rooftop water heaters and solar cells to run your fridge.

Any real Cali girl knows that.

Just ask my nieces at UCLA.

They don't wear Hollister clothing cause they actually WENT there. Lived one block from it in Santa Barbara.

Arthur Christmas was such a lovely surprise. I was unwillingly dragged along, and yet I had the BEST time, and I even teared up a little, too. When trying to explain to friends that it is ACTUALLY GOOD, I've taken to saying "No, no, it's British, so, y'know, it's smart and funny and stuff." You're right that the trailers/marketing are TERRIBLE. It's a damn shame. Best non-pixar animated film I've seen in years.

If you buy solar rooftop water heaters and solar cells I'm pretty sure they get destroyed by roof-destroying falling trees, too.

@6 "This is why you buy solar rooftop water heaters and solar cells"

So the murdurous devil tree can flood your house and start an electrical fire on it's way through the roof of your bedroom hoping to catch you sleeping so it can disembowel you.

Lindy needs to get that preacher to put a hold the holy meatballs and perform an exocism on the local shrubbery.

People claim L.A. doesn't really have Weather. I tell them it's all about Earth, Wind, and Fire.

The only thing worse than the Santa Anas is the local pc latino tards telling you they are actually the "santana" winds.

I feel for you. I really do. Tree murder is no joke, however I must respectfully ask that you lay off the Jesus balls long enough to write another review. I miss you, and I feel lost without your guidance on the new Underworld flick. Seriously, it's been over a month and a half now. I would literally fly myself out to LA and be your personal assistant for a few days just to hear a few scathing comments regarding Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked.
