Bring me the head of Diego Garcia...and the Mayor of Addu Atoll too!

No nominees for Best? Come on. You needn't have been alive when it came out. Ok, I'll start. Ray Charles/Betty Carter 1961

[BBfanboy]

Dean Martin does a pretty good job of trying to persuade a whole chorus of girls to stay and get drunk with him - pretty believable scenario!
Bing Crosby and Doris Day also do a good version - pace and voice quality of both are good.

In the best category I can't beat your offering of Ray Charles/Betty Carter.

In the worst category:
Michael Bublé/Anne Murray - he sounds bored and her voice has lost its clarity - she must be twice his age or more!
Rufus Wainwright/Sharon Van Etten - waaaay too sloooow.

I love the "All Christmas Music" stations this time of year.


They run out of spirtually-themed classics so they turn to anything about Winter.


My favorite is "Baby It's Cold Outside". If you listen carefully, it is about a guy trying to get a girl drunk so he can....well....ermm...you know. She seems to want to in the worst way but feels constrained by societal restraints....and perhaps a desire to avoid throwing up for two months. Even more interesting is we don't know how old he is but he does have his own fireplace and she still lives with mom and dad [X(] There may, in fact, be a crime about to happen.




In the interests of the season, The World's Worst AAR would like to throw open nominations for the World's Worst and World's Best version of "Baby It's Cold Outside".

Best Version ::: Nora Jones and Willie Nelson!!

Gabede - not sure what your nomination was, but your tag line is excellent!

I like Nora Jones have to check that one out. Everybody likes Willie even those his singing voice is a bit thin he has a very unique delivery and he's sounds like he lived it.

To get Nora Jones to stay, Willie WOULD have to put something in her drink. [:)]

If you like Nora Jones, you should listen to her rendition of some country classics with the Little Willies

Given Nicobar is still owned by the allies- if you're looking to base PBY's there just sneak in an AV/AVD or other seaplane support boat and disband in the port. Alternatively use PBY's or whatever transports you have with legs to fly in your aviation support troops and some supplies- that way unless they recon the base they may not be aware of your troops/support ships there.

Continue to fly in supplies/troops and build forts, get the airfield to just below level 1 and you can pop up an air base whenever you feel the need.

[CaptDave]

I can hear my nomination for "best" version in my head, but can't narrow down the artists. I strongly suspect they're Buddy Clark and Dinah Shore, the first to make a recording outside the movie (Neptune's Daughter) in which it was introduced. Honorable mention goes to Louis Armstrong and Velma Middleton.

I've never heard it, but it's hard to imagine anything could be worse than Rod Stewart and Dolly Parton (although Rudolf Nureyev and Miss Piggy would be a close second).

[Cap Mandrake]

Yes, the Louis Armstrong version is very good. As for Dinah Shore, does seem she needs to be on the list just because she was named after a Jap plane.

[Cap Mandrake]

I added one more just because of partial nudity

Yes, exactly. Fly in by PBY or drive in by SST. Until the base goes level one you will not be spotted. An AVD might be spotted.

Other than a slight detour when the oven wasnt on for 60 minutes that was a FANTASTIC dinner. [:)]

Every year I keep taking the roast out 2 degrees lower and it gets better. Next year I'm going to try 100 degrees for 8 hrs. [;)]


I took it out at 135 F and it was perfect. Great rub recipe. Roast at room temperature. Spray on soy sauce (it hold the rub), rub with equal parts Lawry's salt, pepper and garlic powder. Spray again and then sear on broil (ribs down) for 10 minutes then back to 350 until the thermometer hits 135. People will fight over the end pieces they look so good.

Yorkshire pudding was fantastic. I thought the oven was going to explode they rose so much. Twice baked potatoes..everything was hot and ready at the same time. It was like the perfect amphibious landing. No mines, no CD guns, everybody off the boats in one turn.

Great lunch at mum's place. Now back home. Two bottles of single malt scotch, plus some great stilton. UFO Enemy Unknown installing on the trusty laptop, 1980's punk on the sound sytem. Son in his room playing Halo 4, mem-sahib setting up her electric guitar, DU at the toe-rag's.

[Cap Mandrake]

You bought the mem-sahib an electric guitar? [X(]

We sent Stalker Jr (the male version) upstairs to find some Amaretto and he found a bottle 12 year old single malt that I forgot I had. That's like getting a gift twice.

[Cap Mandrake]

We had our card done professionally this year.

[sprior]

You bought the mem-sahib an electric guitar?

Indeed I did.

I have a bottle of 10 year old Glenmorangie and a bottle of 12 year old Highland Park to help me through the long dark winter nights.

[sprior]

I also got a great book, British Cruisers of the Victorian Era - which is nothing to do with brown hatters driving handsome cabs up and down the Tottenham Court Road.

[sprior]

The DU wanted Brave as a Crimbo Pressie. Insisted on watching it this afternoon afternoon whilst the toe-rag is here. I slept through the whole movie. Quel domage.

You didn't have even the slightest Gaelic longing in your DNA..or maybe your are direct descendant from Aethelred the Unready?

By ra way, nobody here knows what a Crimbo Pressie is.

"Crimbo Pressie" = 12 oz. Scotch imbibed before the words "Christmas Present"
