Chag: A double-necked guitar? Someone was a good boy this year!
Daddy Geek Boy: Aw man, I wanted the one with three frets!

Dufmanno: Are those tears streaming down his face or has his sparkle eyeshadow started to run?
Didactic Pirate: This would be glamtastic even without the glitter under the eyes.

Jenny On the Spot: That's weird. That would freak me out if one of my ornaments did that.
Dufmanno: He misses that lady in the ball. I think.

Chag: The holidays always bring friends closer together.
Daddy Geek Boy: Whatever you boys need to do to keep warm. I just don’t know how he's going to explain this to the girl in the ball.
A Vapid Blonde: There is the cabin. In the Woods. And dueling guitars. It's like the creepy version of Deliverance.
Chag: Wait. I thought Deliverance WAS the creepy version of Deliveranace.
Jenny On the Spot: Not hot.

Chag: I hope I get a gun that shoots laser tampons for Christmas.
Daddy Geek Boy: Maybe it's the geek in me, but I’d be way more excited about getting robots and laser guns than these guys.

Dufmanno: When robots appear, things start to go downhill.

Jenny On the Spot: That outfit? Made out of wrong.
Dufmanno: Wow. White lace up side leather pants. I’ve not seen a pair of those in A WHILE . They are still unappealing.

Daddy Geek Boy: If I were those kids' parents, I would not let them carol at the Darkness house.
Didactic Pirate: Part of me thinks this freakin' rocks, while another part of me wants to call Child Protective Services.
Jenny On the Spot: My 8 y.o. is watching with me. She asked, "Is that a boy?" and my 5 y.o. says, "he looks like a girl."
Didactic Pirate: Remember Flash Gordon? If I close my eyes, I'd swear this is the music playing when Flash battled the Hawkmen.
Jenny On the Spot: 11 y.o. son says, "Did they TRY to make him look like a girl?" 5 y.o. daughter added, "And he SINGS like a girl."
Dufmanno: He likes kids. This and the Christmas sweater he’s wearing takes him up a notch in my book.
Daddy Geek Boy: NO KIDS, DO NOT GO IN THERE!

Didactic Pirate: And to all a good--- wait! It wasn't over! UFO! Sweet!
Dufmanno: Why? It didn't need the spaceship.
