By the Way Go See the Human Snow Globe

If you've got nothing but Two and a Half Men reruns on tap for tonight, consider heading over to Scarritt-Bennett Center to see some dude who calls himself the human snow globe perform what we're reliably told are the "12 minutes of Christmas." This feast for the eyes—apparently it's an irreverent belly laugh—begins at 6:30 p.m and goes until 7:15. You'll be home in time for Rudolph, I swear—or at least for the part where he becomes Santa's hero. It's too sad to watch Rudolph being left out of the reindeer games anyway.

Is it possible to pick up the "globe" and shake it?
That could be fun.

Come on over to Scarritt-Bennett Center and check out my world premiere outdoor version of the Human Snow Globe and 12 Minutes of Christmas. You can't miss me -- I'll be the the guy in the globe at 1000 19th Avenue South between Grand and Edgehill.

Please don't shake the globe -- but do shake your booty. The show is also available for your event (birthday, garden, cocktail wrap, wedding, mitzvah (bar and bat), opening, closing, dinner or tea, parties all kinds and capacities. Contact me at jjjonesberlin@gmail.com.

I think it's excellent that LG gave this post the "human snow globe" tag. I'll sleep easier knowing that future readers and surfers will successfully surface it when they do the inevitable "human snow globe" search.

I happened to be in the neighborhood so I stopped to see the HSG. His plastic orb encased rendition of The Christmas Song ("Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire") conjured up a bizarro cross between Bing Crosby in the womb wearing a ratty overcoat and the Seinfeld bubble boy episode. Your mileage may vary. I assume his repertoire shifts when he does bar mitzvahs.

And now for the latest entry in Phrases Never Before Written in Human History:
"Bing Crosby in the womb wearing a ratty overcoat"

If bb's review doesn't sell tickets, I don't know what will. Who says Nashville lacks culture.
Though I am confused about one thing - the womb containing Bing Crosby was wearing an overcoat?
