| Quoth Wes Craven: Nevermore | |
On location today in Hanover, New Hampshire, Matthews climbed out of the Wardrobe Wayback Machine - Slasher Flick Edition sporting a Halloween-shaded version of Freddy Krueger's trademark "A Nightmare on Elm Street" pull-over.
Missing was the tell-tale Freddy fedora, even when Matthews stepped outside to hem and haw in the snow with Presidential nominee John Edwards (D - Breck).
So too the claws, which Matthews saves for when he interviews Republicans.
(News Analyst extraordinaire Scott Whitlock was the man who first noted the sweater similarities.)

December 18, 2007 - 19:56 ET by Chris NormanEarly Christmas present? :)
On my screen, the text in this post and every one below it is twice as large as normal. Only the post for NewsBusted is normal size. I feel like I'm reading the Readers Digest for old people. :)
Update: Now everything is back to normal. I swear that the text was huge. I'm not crazy. Really.

You're out there in the SW now....peyote, anyone?
Kidding.
OMG....not only does Chrissy have on the Freddy Kruger Sweater (orange & puce)....he's wearing a blue & white striped button down shirt underneath it. I am seriously laughing at the clash...and trust me when I tell you...on the 58" plasma HD monster....it's truly hideous!
Sorry all, but a NB fashion post just brightened up my day to no end.

Maybe she meant bundled spare change from poor Chinese folks.
I was trying to tempt Blonde
December 18, 2007 - 21:34 ET by Chris NormanI was trying to tempt Blonde by detailing the seemy underbelly of New Mexico. I can't believe she wouldn't find it attractive. :)
But it's so artsy Chris
December 18, 2007 - 21:52 ET by acumenToo funny Chris. Eat the worm in the bottom of the bottle and it's all good.
As if anything could shock B having "experienced" the south Florida ambiance.
Yeah, but South Florida's
December 18, 2007 - 21:55 ET by Chris NormanYeah, but South Florida's seemy underbelly is so much more glamorous and exciting. I mean, who ever heard of Albuquerque Vice?
Chris
December 18, 2007 - 22:01 ET by BlondeIt's the South Florida "steamy" underbelly.
Far more exciting, yes? (Can you hear the Miami Vice theme song?)
But hey...no hurricanes in Albuquerque?
Gotta live on the edge, dude!

December 18, 2007 - 22:10 ET by BlondeWow....are you adjusting?
Steamy rain & wind to dust storms? Kind of makes my teeth itch.

Blonde, I'm a humidity
December 18, 2007 - 22:17 ET by Chris NormanBlonde, I'm a humidity chicken. The drier the better. It's so dry here (although, right now, there's some snow on the ground), that even many expensive houses are cooled with just swamp coolers that lower the inside temperature by adding humidity. No AC. Can you believe it? Can you also believe we went from Chris Matthew's ugly sweater to swamp coolers in ABQ?
Well, Chris
December 18, 2007 - 22:24 ET by BlondeThat sweater had all of the desert colors in it....not to mention the, um, striped blue & white shirt. (Sweaters to swamp coolers...kind of on topic, yes?)
Whatever floats your boat...now that you're in the desert.
Ha! Cold here in Florida this a.m. Had the seat heaters going in the little gold Bird...LOL.

Humidity
December 18, 2007 - 22:37 ET by nkviking75I haven't spent enough time in desert climes to know what it's like, but I do know I hate how dried out our heated indoor air gets this time of year in Iowa. I don't like high humidity either, but I find it much more tolerable than what happens to my respiratory system in winter.
When you put the clowns in charge, don't be surprised when a circus breaks out.
Albuqueque is "high desert".
December 18, 2007 - 22:44 ET by Chris NormanAlbuqueque is "high desert". We're over 5,000 feet up. The air is thinner (you're sleepy all the time for the first couple month after moving here. It's dry, but fairly mild in the summer (in the eighties and lower nineties). It's cold in the winter, especially at night (teens and twenties). We do get more rain than you'd think and it snows. It's not like, say, Phoenix. I like it.
Dry heat
December 18, 2007 - 22:50 ET by nkviking75I hope I get to check out Albuquerque some day.
What I don't get, possibly because I haven't experienced it, are the people who talk about places like Phoenix or Vegas who say, "Yeah, it's hot, but it's a dry heat." Temps at or above 100 sound hellish no matter how low the humidity.
When you put the clowns in charge, don't be surprised when a circus breaks out.
New Mexico is beautiful. I
December 18, 2007 - 22:55 ET by Chris NormanNew Mexico is beautiful. I didn't get the concept of "dry heat" either, until I moved to North Carolina and experienced 100 degree days and 100% humidity. If you aren't used to it (and I never understood how you could), it's pretty tough to take. Thank goodness for air conditioning. Still, when it gets to be over 105 - anywhere - it just doesn't matter. It's as hot as the hinges in Hell - wet or dry.
No, No, NK.....
December 18, 2007 - 23:00 ET by BlondeA hundred and ten...in the desert...is pleasant.
Ninety five (or four, or one) in the humid swamp of Florida is miserable.
But freezing in Iowa is too cold for me!
LOL.

Snowbirds
December 18, 2007 - 23:05 ET by nkviking75As I said, I've never experienced 110 in a place like Vegas. It's hard to imagine that's pleasant. Guess I'll have to take your word for it for now.
As for 95 and high humidity, been there and done that in Iowa. We just don't do so much of it, thank God.
I guess that's why so many Iowans spend their summers here and their winters near you.
When you put the clowns in charge, don't be surprised when a circus breaks out.
OK, your connection works
December 18, 2007 - 22:47 ET by Chris NormanOK, your connection works for me. Cold, as in Brrrr or cold, as in 65 degrees? :)
Um, Chris
December 18, 2007 - 22:54 ET by BlondeIt was about 52 degrees.
Cold for So. Fla.
So the heat seaters...are kind of nice.
I'll be sure to remind you about the weather...next year...during hurricane season.
Now that you're a high desert dweller.

It's in the low thirties
December 18, 2007 - 22:59 ET by Chris NormanIt's in the low thirties here - heading down to the low twenties (I live on the outskirts of ABQ, where it's colder). I'm about to head out and I left my jacket in our warehouse and I'm not going to look for it. I hope my car heater has a super turbo charged setting I don't know about yet.
Brrr
December 18, 2007 - 23:01 ET by nkviking75We peaked at 29, currently 16 with mist and freezing fog, I'd trade with Blonde in a minute.

December 18, 2007 - 23:04 ET by Chris NormanBut, you're a viking for pete's sake. I thought vikings thrived in the cold. Pioneer stock and all.
Bad disposition
December 18, 2007 - 23:08 ET by nkviking75Now you know why vikings were such a surly lot.
That and lutefisk (fish soaked in lye).
As the Norwegians who live around here like to say, Uff da!
When you put the clowns in charge, don't be surprised when a circus breaks out.
Sheesh, Viking
December 18, 2007 - 23:19 ET by BlondePut me off my feed.
I am going "home" (well...not really...but going) and now I remember why I am so reluctant.
Lutefisk....ARGHHH! I hate that stuff...and have since I was a kid....the idiot dogs won't even eat it...so why should I?
And "Uff da"?
Can we just agree to watch Fargo and get over it?
Lutefisk? Oh...spare me from that big jetliner tomorrow.
David Gregory, do you know which damn network you lie for? ~ Uncle Jimbo, @Blackfive
Hot dish
December 18, 2007 - 23:23 ET by nkviking75Maybe I should have said "hot dish", eh?
On the other hand, thinking of lutefisk might make airline food seem a lot better.
For the record, I've avoided lutefisk like the plague.

December 18, 2007 - 23:30 ET by BlondeI am really laughing so hard...you & I are probably the only "squareheads" here who even know what that mess of white, lumpy stuff is. I can't even think of how to type my disdain...."blech" doesn't begin to cover it.
But...have you had Scandanavian noodles? It gets worse and worse.

December 18, 2007 - 23:47 ET by nkviking75I don't believe I have had Scandinavian noodles. Despite the nickname, I'm a "mutt" of several northern European nationalities. I have a little Swedish blood, but I didn't grow up with any strong sense of an ethnic identity other than American.
I kind of like being an "insider" for once!
It's been fun, but I have an early wakeup call. Good night to all.

Oops, Chris
December 18, 2007 - 23:02 ET by BlondeThat sounds like a faux pas in the desert.

Matthews is nothing compared to Dan Abrams show
December 19, 2007 - 05:38 ET by lumpyHaven't seen any MSNBC Dan Abrams Show mentions on this site. Lately he's been hosting lefty guests like Rachel Maddow from Air America and he spends all his time bashing the Bush administration when he's not doing crime stories.
And then the poor loser does a Beat the Press segment each night wherein he bashes Fox News. An obvious case of sour grapes and a desperate bid for attention. Poor baby. Anyone know what his ratings are? They're probably the lowest on MSNBC and that's saying something.
Yo, lumpy
