Twelve Twelve Days of Christmas 2: Garfield

Note: If this is your first time to TotalFluff, please visit this brief explanation. Thanks!

Hiya, Fluffsters!

In the category of “fluffy” fluff, for the next “12 days of Christmas”, I found a Garfield themed one.

It’s also a bit long, and it’s very Garfield-y. Consider yourself warned.

Enjoy!

Twelve “Twelve Days of Christmas” Challenge – 1

Note: If this is your first time to TotalFluff, please visit this brief explanation. Thanks!

Hiya, Fluffsters!

This blog is now taking part in a new challenge that I’m making up.

…Oh?

Yup!

It’s, “Can this blog post 12 different ‘Twelve Days of Christmas’ songs?”

…Good to know.

Yup.

I’m going to start off with a lovely arrangement from the King’s Singers and the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. It’s a long one, but it is, as I said, a very pretty arrangement. (Maybe a bit boring, but at least we’re starting with a semi-traditional style.)

Happy Sunday!

Christmas Season- Music on my Playlist (part 1)

Note: If this is your first time to TotalFluff, please visit this brief explanation. Thanks!

Greetings, readers!

Now that it is December, I am willing to discuss favorite Christmas and New Years music and celebration plans. Doing so before would have been too early.

But why would it have been a problem? What’s wrong with “too early”?

Well, I would claim that we value things (such as Christmas music) more when it is designated as “special”. If we were to therefore start playing Christmas music before December– or worse, before Thanksgiving– would we be decreasing the value of the music by “allowing” it to be played at any given time of the year? Would that not make it less special? Might that then decrease our evaluation of the music, and lead us to despair near the heart of midwinter, with but a single day to look forward to, thus ending life as we know it?

I think your roots in melodrama are showing again.

Be that as it may, I am trying to save your world here by not posting Christmas music earlier.

However, since it is now December, here is one of my favorites. It is another Lindsey Stirling piece, and I enjoy it for the music. The story line of her video is a bit sad, but the music is excellent.

I hope you enjoy it!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Greetings, readers!

It is America’s Thanksgiving today. And since this website is located in America, we are celebrating Thanksgiving.

So what are you doing online? Go spend time with your family! Or call a friend!

And if none of those options work for you, here are some options for how to have a fun single’s Thanksgiving:

Darths and Droids. Start from the beginning. I can practically guarantee that it will take up your Thanksgiving time.

Read a book. Re-visit an old friend in the form of a book.

Watch a favorite movie. Or watch a new movie. Or a TV show. For what it is worth, Agents of Shield, Season 1, is now available on Netflix.

Certainly, make some tasty food, and enjoy it.

Above all, find something you are truly thankful for, and take advantage of that.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Halloween! (Hauntings of the Past…)

Note: If this is your first time to TotalFluff, please visit this brief explanation. Thanks!

Greetings, readers!

In honor of today being Halloween, I am going to let some of the past come back to haunt us.

To start with, this YouTube video I am sure you were hoping to never see again….

…And The Webmaster’s subsequent analysis of why it might offensive.

In addition to that, the Webmaster posted some, ah, remarkable explanations about September. This post included the trailer for the Great Pumpkin horror movie that, alas, did not actually come out.

Additionally, she had a rather bizarre concern about what happened to the Great Pumpkin a few months later.

For additional spooky levels, her conspiracy about rainbows is also rather terrifying.

Ha! You admit that rainbows are evil!

That is not what I said.

Thinking about it, most of The Webmaster’s explanations are a bit frightening.

As are many of her “food” choices.

I will definitely grant you the food one… The “fluff” at the end of that post was absolutely terrifying.

And since today is also a Friday…

A Whovian Halloween- part 2

Note: If this is your first time to TotalFluff, please visit this brief explanation. Thanks!

Greetings, readers!

If you are neither a Whovian nor someone who does Halloween, my apologies. This post will not be the most inspiring for you.

For those of you who do appreciate Doctor Who, however, I am here today to share another idea for how to make a Doctor Who themed Halloween Party.

This idea is inspired by series 6. (Of the reboot, of course.)

It will not take too much preparation, just a little bit of “sneak” talent. Basically, take a black marker, and sneak tally-marks onto people.

Also, if possible, put random items into their pockets, or by their hands.

If you can do this without being noticed (maybe in a completely darkened room, holding your “target”‘s hand?) this has the potential of being adequate for a Halloween Party. For a bonus, if you could either stop the clocks at 5:02pm without anybody noticing, or just get all the clocks in your house to skip ahead to some time (after you have put tally marks on your guests, of course) that could increase the effect.

Alternatively, you can randomly disappear, and then come back, claim “no memory” of where you just were, and have tally marks on you.

That would not be as successful, however.

Happy October!

Note: If this is your first time to TotalFluff, please visit this brief explanation. Thanks!

Hi, Fluffsters!

As I mentioned yesterday, I finished up my series on Celebrate Fall. At least for right now.

And now it’s October. This is a fun month! Not only is it National Cyber-Security Awareness Month, it’s also the month of Halloween! (And there are LOTS of fun things that can happen for that…)

Also, not only is the month special. A lot of the days are special, too! Clearly, October 31 is Halloween. But today is also an important day. It’s International Music Day!

In other words, October’s a pretty good month.

And in honor of Halloween, October in general, and International Music Day in particular, here’s some of my favorite “spookier” music. (This would make excellent background music for a Halloween party. And I can almost guarantee you that it’ll be played on at least one radio station on Halloween. If Radio Stations are still around by then, of course.)

(That poses another question- if a radio station plays a piece of music, and there’s nobody listening, does it actually make a sound? But I digress.) Right. Music!

This is one of my personal favorites. It’s one that many people know because of Disney’s Fantasia: The Sorcerer’s Apprentice.

You would post the one with animation…

Well, yes.

Then, there’s the other classic: In the Hall of the Mountain King

Again, I can practically guarantee you that this will be played at some Halloween party somewhere. And not even one that I’m hosting!

But this is still one of my favorites.

If any of you readers desire a more “modern” sound for the music, however, or if any of you simply appreciate cool science toys, this version of Hall of the Mountain King is pretty fantastic as well. Scientific Devices play it.

Well, if you’re getting into Tesla coils, here’s another great one: The Imperial March from Star Wars!

Yeah, I don’t know why the announcer called it the “Titanic” theme…

Anywho. I’ve already posted a lot of videos. So I should probably quit there.

But I hope you have a very happy October! Any fun plans?

How many Peeps can a 50 caliber go through?

Note: If this is your first time to TotalFluff, please visit this brief explanation. Thanks!

Greetings, readers!

I give you my sincerest apologies for not having posted an Easter post earlier. I would normally wait until next year to make up for a lack of Easter posts, but a reader just sent me a link to a marvelous Easter (or Post-Easter) themed YouTube video, and I enjoyed it far too much to wait until next year.

Without further ado, “How Many Peeps does a 50 Cal Go Through?”

I hope you have found inspiration for what to do with your leftover Easter Marshmallow Candy.

If the gun idea does not appeal to you, however, fear not! For behold, there is an alternative way to eliminate excess peeps: Peep Jousting.

Is that not a marvelous use of leftovers?

If you end up microwaving your peeps for the purpose of jousting, please send pictures for this blog! I would enjoy sharing them.

I wish you a happy Tuesday.
