Honestly, I thought this moviefilm was almost funny when I made it. But it’s not. As always, if you are dissatisfied with your blog subscription, simply write to us for a full refund.

Yeah. Nope.
Seriously, your Supervisor Jack was everything I expected from middle management.
“Middle” management? I get it.
That is frikken hysterical.
You missed a chance to pose an elf leaning on a bench, à la Fitz.
The hay guy is pure, inspired, genius.
Hey Mr. Schwarz, The tutorial on trimming tenons with a scorp inspired me to give it a try on trimming my beard. I think I’d better stick with a spokeshave. Not as tough as I thought I was. Keep up the good work. Though I’ve never met you I count you as a friend, you know sitting on the front porch drinking a Shiner Bock discussing the fine art of stick chair design.
Merry Christmas from Flint, Texas.
H&S and OSHA are why Santa moved his toy workshop to China ages ago. It was the “used” hay incident in your video that prompted the final decision, I have heard. Only in China are you still allowed to stuff toy animals with hay, and delivery by sleigh (?) avoids customs and health-related inspections anyway. Contrary to his nearly 200 year old celebrity status, Santa is a front for a multi-generational series of tycoons and not the jolly old elf of legend. So much for goodwill towards anyone.
Repetitive strain injuries apparently can affect the mind as well. Up. Down. Up. Down.
That was pretty funny!
The important thing is that you tried.
The smiles on them is exquisitely creepy. And to whom may you credit the horrendous music?
I particularly liked the tie your beard back comment.
Chris, step away from the eggnog…

Elfin’ safety.
I thought it was funny😆
So: I laughed.
because, far too many times, the safety inspections accomplish absolutely nothing at all.
Safety is state of mind far more than any set of arbitrary rules.
“am I too tired to be doing this” “am I too distracted” etc. and no matter how many safety nanny posters are up, it doesn’t matter.
BTW: those elves? are going to haunt my nightmares for at least a week. The music? until Feb.
Thank you. LOL
(BTW: I assume that the LAP workspace doesn’t have to deal with OSHA inspections… I hope…)
We don’t have employees, so we don’t get OSHA. But we do have regular fire inspections and other safety inspections. Which are truly helpful.
The zoom on the supervisor’s face after asking him about the hay – chef’s kiss
Thanks for the laughs, Chris!
Perhaps “funny” is not the appropriate appellation, unless followed by the disclaimer, “…in an exceedingly juvenile fashion.” Come on, fellas. As a septuagenarian, perhaps my idea of humor is very, very different than the younger generation’s. However, …
For some of your faithful readers, sideways references to elfin masturbation may be alright for Christmas. I would assume, however, that for many of us it is – are your generation would term it – “just gross.”
For many of us, Christmas is a celebration of Christ’s birth, a gift from God to the entire world. Perhaps you believe differently and that’s just fine. Still, the whole point of Christmas is “giving,” sharing, and spreading joy among all. Shouldn’t, then, our attempts at Christmas humor be a bit more, shall we say, positive and less, shall we say, profane and obscene?
Laughter is an expression of joy.
That effort was so much appreciated…..a good laugh! Thanks! Ps Is there really a need for a serious side, but I take your point.
