It's the picture they're sending out in their private Christmas cards this year. He asked Robin if she got hers and then told Jason it was OK to put the picture up because he took it and was proud of it. :catstare:

I just noticed the huge picture of a cat on the wall. Their Christmas card theme this year is "Hoarders".

Why does she always make that terrifying face?
She's an attractive lady, and when she makes that face she turns into the loving joker.
Also ha ha that cat is loving huge. I love giant cats.

As a graphic designer, and cat owner, I think some of those cats are photoshopped in...unless you can somehow manage to get all your cats to cooperate at once.

I was on the fence about renewing my Sirius Canada sub with the massive price hikes and removal of free streaming access coming in February, but these past couple of weeks with some of the lamest, shittiest, unfunny Jay Leno-quality monologue jokes made the decision real easy for me.

Did that writer save Beth from a fire or something? That's the only reason I can imagine something so forced and out of place with the feel of the show would be allowed on the air.

They had free streaming? I thought Internet access was five bucks a month (or something like that).

Howard is trolling us, he has to be. There is no way this happened. This can't be. Howard used to ROAST people about doing dumb poo poo like this, even in a "wink, wink" manner. Didn't he? I'm sure he's attacked people for caring about pets, maybe even some of the staff for doing dumb christmas cards.

And here we are. This has to be a joke. The hair, the smile, the pile of cats. This is more redneck than anything Richard Christie could pull off.

Also catching up on George Takai, holy poo poo, just before the beautiful penis contest his rambling about young boy balls smelling like peaches and how black crotches smell musky and nordic ones don't. I was howling with laughter. The stuff this guy says.

Sirius Canada has offered it for free as part of your subscription for as long as I can remember. Starting February 1st, everyone has to be pay an additional $4/month for it.

This is entirely what it is about, hence the number only continuing to grow as she tries to fill a void that seems to be expanding.

I mean, the girl grew up rich and spoiled but doesn't seem like an arrogant bitch or anything. She seems genuinely nice and would probably be a great, attentive mom. It'll be interesting to see what happens in the near future with her clock ticking down and the show coming to a close. Will she accept a childless life? Will Howard finally yield and give her the kid she so clearly wants? Will they end the marriage over it?

She'll have plenty of time to write a parenting book because Howard can afford the best nanny money can buy.

She really does seem like a pretty nice lady. Which makes her still being with Howard something of a mystery. (Unless she is a gold-digger, but even then there have to be better dudes to hitch your wagon to.)

The Leno style monologue is horribly forced and unfunny, if Benjy is writing that he should be fired. Howard seems to have taken over news and came up with lovely jokes to accompany every drat news story.

Someone post that picture of Howard and Beth where he photoshopped his entire neck and it looked hilariously bad. For some reason I just thought of it while watching a video and I couldn't stop laughing.

I don't see how it could be ruled out at all. What's the worst of it? You have to listen to the neurotic and rage filled ramblings of a delusional manchild here and there and then have boring missionary sex with a giant lizard for two seconds. In return you get a multi-million dollar lifestyle that you would never have achieved on your own.

The show has hit a new low by having on Tanning Mom as a guest. Jesus loving christ. I can't wait for Gary to defend this on the Wrap Up Show:

"Well, tomorrow we'll get 50% of the emails saying they loved her and 50% saying they hated her, so you never know."

This is painful.

You're so wrong. Tan Mom was the best guest of the year. I was dying nonstop, especially when "Ray Liotta" called in.

I actually think this is pretty great. Aside from the harrrible, Target-inspired design scheme and amateurish Photoshopping, the idea of mocking their own status as wealthy, crazy cat people is fairly amusing and shows some self-awareness.

On the other hand, it could also be seen as a desperate cry for help, thinly disguised as self-deprecating humor.

It's cute and kitschy and probably stands out from other boring/douchey family Christmas cards, but the subtext makes it hilarious. Everyone who gets this card, regardless of how familiar they are with Howard or Beth, will immediately think "Poor girl really wants kids."

Plus there's no way Howard composed that shot.

Thanks for posting this! My sub runs out on December 20th and I was on the fence about renewing. Just fought through a 15 minute call to end it. Best offer I got was 6 months for $30 if anyone is interested.

But as someone on the last couple pages said, this is where I get off.
