Ok, I said we were taking a break, but I lied. Maybe another short post or two this week. If you feel like it, add the following to your family xmas music. Quality's not so good cause it's a youtube rip, and it's not as funny without samberg and timberlake hamming it up, but hey, it is a catchy song.
Andy Samberg + Justin Timberlake - Dick In A Box
