"The SantaLand Diaries starts when young man (played by Joe Plambeck) arrives in New York with dreams of being a writer for One Life to Live and instead lands a part-time job as a Macy's Christmas elf named Crumpet. From humiliating interview to elf indoctrination to scrapes with miscast Santas and obnoxious customers, the author's real-life experiences are merrily subversive and fall-on-your-knees funny."

Stopped in over at TRIM today to pick up a few Massage Specials for the guys

This place rules - get a haircut - a shoeshine - massage - razor shaves

All while drinking a cold one & shooting some pool

Sure there are all kinds of "mens haircut" places with the big screens and the hot chicks slamming their wares in your face to get a bigger tip but TRIM out classes them all.

Holiday Special at TRIM right now is an hour massage for $30

And the girls are nice too - wonder what that guy is looking at on the floor over there?
