Mmmmmm...LOVE those meat pies! |

That's right--it's the holiday season! I'm sure you're all wondering what on earth I'm going to pull out of my head for this week's column! Well, wonder no more! The last Cannon Fodder of 2007 has arrived, and I've decided to write a new version of "The Twelve Days of Christmas," because the world doesn't have enough already.
(Why, yes! That is sarcasm, folks!)
This one I have entitled "What the Film Gods Gave Me." Yeah, yeah...I spent enough creativity thinking of the lyrics, I didn't have much left for the title!
Things to remember as you're singing this to yourself:
1) I couldn't keep up with the numbers. Just not possible. So they drop off after 3!
2) I think a lot of these hints are easy, but perhaps not? I'd love for you to drop a line and tell me what movies you think I'm referring to. If you get them all correct, maybe you'll get a surprise! But probably not. Unless it's an awfully cool quote by e.e. cummings or F. Scott Fitzgerald. Hey, be happy with what you get! If you can do it without searching the internet, maybe I'll throw in an Irish blessing or two!
Now for the song. I know you can't wait!
Oh...
3) For #5, I couldn't choose between two movies. So both of them will be in there. Just go with it. :)
NOW I'm ready!!!
