A VERY JACK CHRISTMAS

Jack called me this EARLY this morning (Note to young Jack: Sometimes Uncle Boneman heads out to holiday parties at this time of year. Not all of us are back in our cribs with full sippy cups at 8 p.m. Sometimes we don't even leave our cribs until well after 8 p.m. in search of adult sippy cups!) to ask for some more face time on my blog. He e-mailed me this picture, which the young buck referred to as a photograph because it was taken by his talented artist friend Ŝæŋŧóş (the artist formerly known as Santos), and how could I resist posting? He's got that "Yeah, you guys dressed me up as a lobster, you dress me up as an elf, I have to share my clothes with a cat...ha, ha, ha...I'm the funny baby. But how am I funny? I mean funny, like I'm a clown? I amuse you? I make you laugh? I'm here to friggin' amuse you?! Hey, I'm cool with that. But Mom and Dad, paybacks are a beeyotch- it's time to get my presents on! Ya better have an XBox 360 up in here. And I'm going to need my own car, preferably a drop-top in 15 years, so start planning now!" look on his face. (Maybe I'm reading too much into that...)

So here you go, Jackpot. Thanks for making our Christmas even more special this year!! And that present under your tree with no name on it....that was from me!

A VERY GEATOR CHRISTMAS

I went Christmas shopping this afternoon and who did I run into? The living legend himself, The Geator with the Heater, the Big Boss with the Hot Sauce! And if you don't know who The Geator is, you better axe somebody! The Geator is a unique DJ still going strong and now as much a Philadelphia institution as a cheesesteak. He's been on nearly every music station in Philadelphia at one time or another and many in south Jersey, playing the music his way. Decades after other stations chained their DJ's to a limited playlist and a tight, canned format, the Geator plays what sounds good to him from the Geator Gold Vault of classic doo-wop, acapella, motown and Philadelphia area dance hits of the fifties, sixties and seventies. You go to a Geator show, you'll have a good time. Check out his pinky ring - classic Geator. And he throws a mean shaka too!
