Your video, RC Santa's Sleigh Drone with Rudolf Flying Over San Diego, has made it into the Top 15 New Videos listing. Congratulations on your achievement. For your contribution you have been awarded 1 Power Point.

Soon the sleigh was flashing past right over Marble Bar...

Did you even watch the original Rudolph? Santa didn't use the word freaks, but he did say the nose would keep him off the sleigh team. Later when Rudolph was doing amazing in the games, his nose fell off, and Santa was a jerk again.

That said, the whole point of this video is that today we could never have the 'classic' show. Just like we will never see a remake of Blazing Saddles, because people are too ready to jump on the internet criticism bandwagon.

It's kind of interesting in that it seems like the creator A) doesn't think it should be a big deal if Santa says "Can't have any freaks on the sleigh team" and B) Imagines Santa would say, let alone think, that in the first place.

Can we replace the "news" tag with "fail"?

If the bear had wanted him it would have had him fairly quickly. And, take note, the backpacker he passed that sounded like Mr. Sleigh Bells had the right idea.

Me: Improper sleigh bell playing technique!!! Otherwise, a great cover.

You: All right then, how should it be done?

You think this is bad? Just wait until the hip-hop remix, where the same guy in blackface whisper-raps about 'bitches all up in my sleigh.'

I can't help but feel a sense of hatred towards people like that caller. How could you possibly confuse Jimmy Carter with someone that is "black hearted"?

That's like thinking Santa Clause is an evil, selfish pedophile out to get kids into the sleigh.

Very entertaining, thanks for the post. Although a riff can be any repeating motif, rock guitarists tend to think of them more in terms of repeating single note phrases. (Don't you hate know-it-alls.) Stairway to Heaven we would consider more arpeggios than a riff. Still, there's no doubt it's the most instantly recognizable set of arpeggios in rock music history, (although don't play it in a music store....that could get you shot, or, at least, dirty looks and a possible toss out the door.)
I'd like to add a couple more classic riffs,
(1) Sunshine of your Love - Cream
(2) Heartbreaker- Led Zeppelin
(3) Aqualung- Jethro Tull

and a few more obscure
(1) Blood of the Sun - Mountain
(2) Nantucket Sleigh Ride (the bridge riff) - Mountain
(3) Siberian Khatru - Yes

Thanks again for a great post! Classic stuff.

Hate to take the attention off cokie's sleigh ride there, there but was that the Specials on stage with her?

"First, importantly, science is not about disproving God. That is not its focus."

That was my point.

"Comparing God and Santa is really a false analogy."

I wasn't really trying to equate them, but in the eyes of an atheist, they are equally unlikely. I used Santa simply as an example that science can't disprove the existence of any deity or mythological figure. You can add Zeus, pixies, unicorns, Martians, and a million other things to that list. If you can imagine it, science probably can't disprove it. You say that Santa can be easily disproved. You wouldn't say that had you my parents as a young child. They had an answer for everything. Explanations for how he could get to so many houses in one night, how he got up and down the chimney without getting stuck, how he could be at two different malls at the same time, where all those elves came from, how he knew if I was bad or good (I suspected my parents were ratting me out), and how he got so many toys into one single sleigh. You see, Santa can never be disproved to those who truly believe in him because there will always be some mysterious and magical explanation for anything science could throw at it. You just need use your imagination. God is no different. That's why I didn't want to get into a debate about this with someone who is true believer. No matter what logical pitfall I could possibly construct to entrap said true believer, no matter how well-thought and reasonable, "faith" will always lift him out of whatever corner he may temporarily find himself backed into.

I've heard theists argue that science can't disprove god, as if that "fact" reinforces their belief in his existence. Science can't disprove the existence of something that doesn't exist any more than I could to a true believer. That's not what science is. And that's not what science tries to do.

I scored a 26 inch widescreen lcd, and a lot of nothing else... also I'm not sure how big of a sleigh we are talking about for siftmas, but I'm a big fan of outsourcing heavy loads... Lucky?
