lol, soo true! i haven't minded not hearing it in the local shopping mall.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:28pm

I want to be in a crowded shopping mall a few days before xmas and have some prankster suddenly play The Residents Santa Dog over the soundsystem.

If I was a mall santa, I'd be happy to hijack the system.

I wish there were a PA system here at work. Just some lousy IP phones and one crappy speaker pointing to the shipping department.
Avatar 7:37pm

ah, i bet the shipping guys would love to hear this song!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:37pm
Rich in Lavender Sansabelt Slacks:

but in all actuality there being no PA system is almost entirely my fault because of years of abuse and pranks using it.
