The meaning of Christmas: Self-promotion.

Friday, December 21, 2007 by
Oh no we didn't!

Did we perhaps make the Entertainment Weekly Best of 2007 issue?


Why yes, bitches. WE DID:

"...if websites could talk (or eat, for that matter), this is the one we'd want to have lunch with."

HOLLA.

But that should really be "with whom we'd want to have lunch." Not that we're being ungrateful! We're just saying, is all.

Well, now that we're done patting ourselves on the back, Santa Gunn has a special message for you:

And God bless us. Every one!

We can't thank all of you enough for your incredible support this year. Y'all have a happy one now, y'hear?

Oh, and look! We're so fucking fabulous, we even have a blooper reel!





Big special props to PRGalPal AMY for shooting and directing our little Christmas Timgnettes.

MERRY CHRISTMAS, DARLINGS!

They're not wrong, actually. Prepositions at the ends of sentences are fine.

But still! Congratulations! You are fabulous, as always!

Get over here, you scamps!

You get a big ol' congratulatory smack on the collective fanny!

Wooooooooooork!!
YOU DESERVE IT!!!!

OMG - when did that bonus video of Chris (Sissybear) in drag go up? I just noticed it. I saw it back in 2001. Pretty damned funny.

My friend Jason played Christina.

Chris did all the costumes and they were fabulous!

Chris was also Shirley Temple in the show. Find that video!

Bill said...

oops - and by saw "it" I mean the Off Off Broadway show, "Christmas with the Crawfords."

Connie Champagne did a kickass Judy Garland in it.

Congrats to TLo!

So great to find this on my last workday before Xmas, a sweet sweet holiday greeting! I'm going to make my holidays work!

TED said...

I'm hoping and believing that you were joking with your complaint about "have lunch with." The only people who insist that you can't end a sentence with a preposition are the people who will still tell you that you can't call a child a kid because a kid is a baby goat.

Go TLo! You are the best.

Happy Holidays, you two, and all Rungay posters.

Dear T&L and Santa Tim, too -

Oh, thank you so, SO much for making me smile and chuckle on a stressful last full day in the office for this busy year.

And for all the smiles, grins and giggles and - no kidding - thought-provoking work you've done both on this must-visit-every day blog and the Tom & Lorenzo blog for the past year and a half.

You are a gift that keeps on giving, and aren't we all the fortunate and grateful recipients?

Happy hols and all the best,

NDC

What? You weren't #1 on that list of great bloggers? I DEMAND A RECOUNT.

I have to say, RunGay makes each episode so much more interesting. I'm glad you're getting recognition but it's not what you deserve. You're #1 on MY list. So there. Take THAT, EW.

Brooklyn Bomber said...

Wowee! Congrats!

Mom said...

Did you all see that? Tim was talking to ME! To me, to me, to me!! Thank you, boys, for letting him do that! And thank you for all you do all year!

Now go have lunch with whomever you want -- and make it a three-martini funfest!

I saw that this morning. I check out EW's site every morning, and imagine my delight to see the fabulous TLo's blog mentioned.

Soon you'll have your very own Bravo show!

I just received my Entertainment Weekly today and I was so thrilled you made the list! You deserve every nice comment and more! Hell, I now look forward to the show more because of the bitchery to follow!

One problem though. Why the picture of Heidi and not one of you guys? :)

Love ya,
eat, drink, and be merry

Congratulations! You deserve it because you two are the best. And Feliz Navidude.

"mere said: Hell, I now look forward to the show more because of the bitchery to follow!"



I second that emotion.

And I hope all the other PR blogs have just thrown themselves on the floor, in sobbing Ricky-like heaps, at the news.

Because what good is success if it doesn't make your rivals grind their teeth with envy.

E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E!!!!! But I only repeat the sentiments of those who have posted before me.

What great news. Thank you all, both TLo, and you fabulous fellow participants. If laughter is healthy, we should all live forever just from reading this site.

Merry Chrismahanukwanzaa, Winter Solstice, and other winter holidays as appropriate to all of you. Given that the solstice arrives at 10:15 (PST0 tonight, remember to illuminate your general area and make some noise to encourage the sun to return tomorrow.

aimee said...

Shut UP! That is just the single most fabulous thing I have heard/read this whole Christmas season. When you lovely boys promise a Christmas surprise, you don't screw around!

Huge kudos on the EW appearance -- you know I'll freaking BRONZE that issue when it arrives. And Merry Christmas to the two of you. Thanks for making my year so vicariously fabulous!

Oh my! Entertainment Weekly no less!

I don't remember life before Project RunGay and I don't want to!

If you bitches need another PRGalPal - I'd drop all and come running =)

HI TIM GUNN!!! :)

TSG said...

You guys are great, but don't be afraid of ending sentences with prepositions! It's perfectly grammatical. That rule is a false one, made up by language snobs who valued Latin grammar over English. As Winston Churchill (supposedly) famously said, that is a rule "up with which I shall not put!"

Anonymous said...

Today, EW, tommorrow, WORLD effin' DOMINATION!!!!!!!!

It couldn't have happened to better bitches anywhere. Thanks for the Tim and ChrissyBear clips. They made my day.

Merry Christmas, bitches.

Casey said...

You're either in or you're out and you two are IN. Huuuuge congratulations. Have a fabulous holiday.

stumblerette said...

"..this is the one we'd want to have lunch with."


this is a perfectly fine construction. it's called a restrictive relative clause with a zero complementizer (the most frequent type of relative clause in english). oh, and it 's also a preposition stranding construction -- a hallmark of english syntax and recognized as such in every serious grammar of english (you know, the ones linguists write...). relax, guys, your gift horse's dental health is just fine.

Who knew your readers were so erudite? Whom knew? Whatever! Congrats on the EW, what I want to know is whether their informant merely lurks here or is a regular contributor? Hmmmmmm.....who (or whom) amongst us could it be?

Love you guys bunches and if Emmett's reading this, I ordered a Tim bobblehead today for a friend but was too shy to gush over the phone to your extremely helpful salesperson about my deep abiding love for you.
Happy Merry Etc.

So fabulous--it's even in an insert sent to subscribers! I was just coming here to see if you knew. Congrats, guys, and thanks for the Father Tim wishes...super-extra bonus for the bloopers (if only project runway would show more Tim Gunn bloopers, I'd be a happy woman).

Happy Christmas and Merry New Year!

Zoë Malachi said...

as a writer and college writing teacher, props on the grammar correction--you boys make me proud! :)

but even bigger props on the recognition--you've earned every ounce of it with your endless witticisms and faithful devotion to all things pr. pr (esp. this less-than-thrilling season, thus far) just would NOT be the same without you!

much love,
~~zoë

Mom said...

Yes, boys, please do stick to your guns on those prepositions! To paraphrase a certain fashion icon, it's a slippery slope from those dangling "withs" and "tos" to double negatives and, oh the humanity, subjects and predicates not agreeing.

And if worse comes to worst, just remember that the ability to use "who" and "whom" correctly is what separates us from the animals -- that and the ability to laugh! Merry Holidays, all!

Kanani said...

Congratulations! You do run a really fun blog. I like the "Cocktail Party" comparison best.

Thanks for providing a lot of fun and a posse of interesting bloggers!

Anonymous said...

Actually, since they said,

"...if websites could talk (or eat, for that matter), this is the one we'd want to have lunch with."

and left out the obligatory 'that' or 'who', even in a sentence with a dangling participle, you would have to make the assumption that they're referring to the website as an inanimate object. And since 'whom' implies a human being, it would actually be "With which we'd want to have lunch."


Uh, so there's that.

That point aside; congratulations!

Merry Christmas! Hope your day is one filled with only good things and loving people.

I am getting to the age when I don't dangle anything. I keep my participles covered along with my upper arms. Most of my prepositions and propositions are ignored these days.

If I were to get up the nerve to propose anything. I would propose a long lunch with you two.
