Have Eweself a Merry Little Holiday

It's Here! And it's only available online!
The new Christmas Card (the front is pictured to the left) is out! In typical Fattened Calf style, we are taking potshots at political correctness AND reminding folks what Christmas is about.
View and purchase the entire card at: http://www.fattenedcalf.com/gear.html
By the way, if you're watching Fattened Calf grow, we just added stores in Iowa and Tennessee last week. Thank you to everyone for their support!
Now to the most important issue this and every Christmas. Based upon my recent unscientific survey, approximately 10 Billion Christmas lights get throw away each year because we are too annoyed to try and figure out which bulb is causing the problem. I put a call in to Al Gore about this and getting it in his next movie, but ever since the whole Nobel Peace Prize thing, he hasn't been returning my calls. I think it went to his head.
Anyway, we put a man on the moon, so why can we not figure this light thing out?!?!?
I do have a theory that if we would just start plugging the lights into the USB plugins on our computers, things would change. It seems like science is leading us straight to the USB plugin thingee - so lets make the change and see if we can make it ONE year of taking the lights out of storage and working right off!
Which brings up another point - aren't we supposed to be using those funky florescent - lasts for a million years and has mercury in it - light bulbs? Where are the funky Christmas light bulbs? I'm guessing they're scared to make them since they can't promise that they'll last any longer than a normal Christmas light.
Sorry, didn't mean to rant but pulling those little lights out with hooves is a pain...
Honestly, plugging my iPod into the USB connector portal thing is a pain too with hooves, but at least it works when I go and get it the next time.
