Let it snow...?

I, like others, would like to point out the humor in the South Park parallels to "Hunters in the Snow." I have actually never seen an episode of South Park--crazy, right? But even I have heard enough to appreciate the similarities when I hear about them.

[I was going to post a link to some South Park mash-ups here, but... having now seen more South Park than I ever have previously, I think... maybe not.]

I really do like how they end up obliviously going the wrong way at the end of the story, though. I felt really awkward throughout most of the reading of that story because the characters just kept being so open, and there was the guy freezing and bleeding and talking to himself in the back of the truck, and.... I suppose getting lost didn't help matters at all, but I still liked it better.

Also, our small group wondered why on earth Tub's parents chose to name him Tub. I mean, we know the author was being clever, but why did he rationalize that his parents would name him that? Or maybe it was a nickname? Whooo knows?

I need some kind of media in order to be content. Ummmm....

I really like Christmas. Also, it was cold in the story.
