Greetings, readers!
In the category of “droll”, I recently encountered a version of “Twelve Days of Christmas” I was not entirely sure what to make of. It is a redneck version. And I still do not know what to make of it.
Is this insulting? Is it amusing? Is it just… bizarre?
Regardless, I hope you enjoy it.

Hi, Fluffsters!
Today’s is a movie-themed one: Shrek. I enjoyed that movie, and their 12 days of Christmas is very much in keeping with the movie.
I hope you enjoy it.
Happy Sunday!

Hi, Fluffsters!
Today’s 12 days of Christmas is an animated one. After it stops it turns into an advertisement, just a head’s up. I don’t endorse the ad, just the version of the song. I found it amusing.
Enjoy.

Greetings, readers!
I am joining the Webmaster in this blog’s challenge.
I found a rather amusing version, which I hope you will enjoy.

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!

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!

Greetings, readers! I wish you a Joyous April First.
This is a post to inform you that there is no post today.
Or is there, now that I have posted a post on this blog?
If you wish to comment below on this nonexistent post, I would enjoy reading your comments.

Hello, Fluffsters! HAPPY DECEMBER!!
Do you know what that means?
That according to the root of the word, it should technically be the tenth month of the year, but it’s not because of craziness in your calendar?
NO!
Well, maybe. You might be right. But that’s not what I was going for.
No. It’s December, which is the same month as CHRISTMAS!! That means that CHRISTMAS MUSIC IS HERE! And it’s also permissible for it to be here. Thanksgiving is well behind us, which means that there is no other (real) holiday before Christmas. At least where I am. And so, in honor of this wonderful day, I’d like to share with you a favorite Christmas YouTube video of mine. I’m realize that you may have seen this before, but it’s still worth watching. (Or listening to, at the very least.)
Enjoy.

Hiya, Fluffsters! Can you believe it’s Wednesday already? Only one more day left in the series! (After this one, of course.)
Today’s post is truly frightening.
Think about it. You’re on your computer, watching your funny cat photos, when, WHAM! No. WiFi. No. Internet. This is terrifying, for several reasons!
1) Disconnect from your social life. What if someone is trying to email you? You’ll not see it for another while, until the internet comes back!
2) Disconnect from real world events. No breaking news about celebrities. No twitter updates from your friends a few hundred miles away who are experiencing an earthquake five seconds before it reaches you, which would have given you enough time to run around frantically for a whole FIVE SECONDS LONGER as you try to remember proper procedures for earthquakes!
3) You need to face reality. Or at least a more tangible one. Or a non internet one. Granted, you could read a book and still escape real life, or play a (gasp!) on-your-machine computer game like solitaire. But really, who does that?
Yes, I think it’s safe to say that lost WiFi is one of the scariest things. It’s a bit hard to decorate with, but I think you can do it.
1) Print out large versions of this symbol:
NO INTERNET!!!
Actually, that’s about all I can think of right now. Maybe place that sign strategically between the “bugs in your code” posters I suggested yesterday? Huh.
Well, happy Wednesday!

Hello again, Fluffsters! Happy Monday!
So… your next post in the “scary things” series- is it on greeting people? And wishing them a happy Monday in a too cheerful manner?
…No. But that’s actually a good idea! Maybe I’ll do that next year.
Today’s post is actually about one of the genuinely scariest things on the face of this earth:
Pause for a moment. Think about it. You know it’s true. Especially if you’ve tried to navigate one before.
You know what? You’re actually right. Those things are scary.
Thanks, Fluffy! It’s nice to have outside confirmation.
1) You get lost too easily. Frequently, a college or university website is nothing more than a set of miniature websites jammed together into a “single” website. There’s no rhyme or reason, and broken links abound.
2) You can’t even find anything. Seriously. Most of the time, rather than actually using the site to find someone, like a specific professor’s website or anything, I use Google. Here’s a useful tip for you, actually: If at the beginning of your Google search you put (site:sitename.ending keyword1) that tells Google to search just that site. So for example, if you want to find information about getting a Ph.D from Harvard in economics, you’d type site:harvard.edu phd economics . It helps. It’s certainly a lot easier than trying to click your way around to the econ department site!
3) They can determine your future. If you can’t find out how to apply to an undergraduate program, you can’t go to that program for your degree. If the site crashes as you’re trying to upload an application or trying to pay for an application, it might not work. Then your application wouldn’t go through, and you won’t get into the school, and your life might be worse off.
4) They suck away your money. Applications are expensive. College websites are responsible for applications and charging you for them. So therefore the university websites take your money from you.
In other words, college websites are scary, and totally worth being used as Halloween decorations.
…Ok, you got me. How do you use a website as decoration?
I’m glad you asked!
There are several ways you could do this.
1) Print off the homepage. Some universities should seriously reconsider the graphics artists they invested in. Just looking at the homepage is enough to make one cringe.
…says the person who designed a site to look like a baby-yarn star exploded onto the web.
This website’s at least tasteful, ok?
It’s not like a school that uses pictures of the grounds in the background… in such a way that the pictures can’t even be seen fully.
Oh Redevki. Some school sites actually do that?
“Redevki”?
Oh, sorry. It’s a mild expletive on my world. It’s comparable to your “Oh My”, but a little bit stronger.
Ah.
But yes. I’m not going to inflict that link upon you. Needless to say, though, it would make a halloween decoration too scary to behold.
2) Print off the 404 links on pages that you need to access. Then paint an evil face on it. Maybe fold it, and make it look as though it’s coming to eat your soul. I tell you, the 404 errors will get you every time.
Weird… You’re actually writing stuff I agree with this post.
It had to happen some time. Don’t get used to it.
3) Create a slideshow of the code. Especially areas where the website uses any sort of inline styling. I realize this just went over the heads of anyone who doesn’t do website stuff, but trust me: it will make every (decent) web developer cringe to look at.
3b) Draw bugs over your slides of the code. That way you can demonstrate genuine bugs in the code. This gives you the added bonus of the evilness of a pun!
4) Require guests for a party to print off a particular page that you describe as their ticket. Or as the way they get candy. Granted, this isn’t strictly decoration related. It’s still Halloween themed, though, so I’m including it.
But there you go, fluffsters! Some more information about the scariness known as university websites.
