I even wish Staap & crew the happy holiday of their choice.

Me too.

Though, that guy, he bugs.

He behaves like an ass sometimes it's true, but I don't have the hard-on for him that so many of my peers do. Nor do I idolize him like some of my other peers. He is what he is. And sometimes his old band is nice to listen to.

Oh my, this is getting out of hand.

Do you all remember this hilarious and pathetic tale of Stapp trying to get some action at a Denny's in Florida? It was posted to LiveJournal this summer.

Choice quote (author refers to Stapp as Creedy or Creed throughout):

Creed: "Do you have an acoustic guitar with you in Gainesville?"
Her: "Um, yeah."
Creed: "Good, maybe you can help me write my new hit single!"
Me, after hearing the story: "I applaud your ability not to vomit at that."

that whole "silent night" story is a fake--the song comes from a winter play about a lonely tree, and is not silent night with new words.

Diane Messer, administrator of the Dodgeville School District, said the holiday show is titled "The Little Tree's Christmas Gift" and was copyrighted in 1988. It's about a family that goes to buy a Christmas tree and uses a collection of familiar Christmas carol melodies to tell the story.
"Somebody totally misunderstood and had the belief that one of our teachers took it upon herself to rewrite the words to 'Silent Night,'" she said. "This program is well within our district's policy which allows us the use of both religious and secular content in our curriculum and in our productions and performances."
