I don’t know about any of you, but I’m sure as hell ready for some changes for the better…so let’s see if several returning champions and could’a been contenders can jump on that bandwagon and provide some good omens for a brand new start, shall we?

In case by some strange quirk of fate you hadn’t noticed by the crisp chill in the air and the profliferation of angry drivers and website crashes, it’s that time of year again.

That’s right, the holida(ze), when people are of good cheer and filled with warm humanist feeling for their fellow man.

Or is that the stink of desperation, rampant consumerism and the ultimate terror of a yearly get together with relatives you wish you could divorce yourself from blood ties to?

In any case, we have a plethora of November and December releases herein, hot and hungering to be held by your eager, sweaty hands this holiday, to put under that pagan Yoolis Night tree. 

So what the hell are we wasting time yammering here for?  Let’s spread some Christmas cheer!

Hey, who snickered?

oh, yeah, that was me.  Anyway…

Forward!
