Adam Baldwin is the second best part of the show Chuck, behind only the blond chick.

I'll back up Badtzmaru on the Adam Baldwin = Hot comment. Don't get him confused with the Baldwin brothers (Alec, William, Daniel, & Steven). Adam is unrelated and a total stud. ... Is it too late to fax Santa a wish list??

I was also a youngster in the 80's and my mom called that Santa 800 number, but honestly, I was a little afraid of Santa so I ran out of the room when she tried to hand me the phone.

I don't remember the exact 800 number but the commercial jingle is seared into my memory. What do you do when Christmas is coming, Christmas is coming, Christmas is coming? What do you do when Christmas is coming? Gotta call Santa's Christmas phone.

Sorry. I forgot that all of you are not mind readers and if you were, you would of shot yourselves a long, long time ago. Anyhoo. I meant the 1-800 that you called to listen to a tape recorded message from "santa".

I remember when I was a little kid during the '80s (cough) that there really was a 1-800 number that you could call. I remember it took forever to get to the tape recorded message. Does anyone else remember this number or ever calling it? Back to topic: Junkpunch pregnant squirrels!

Hey Badtz! Was Abe Vagoda ever hot to you?

DC Cab is easily the second greatest movie of the 80s, after the Goonies. Plus it's got a young Adam Baldwin and he's hot now.

my dad would FREQUENTLY pick up the phone to call Santa during the holiday season when we all started acting up. he said you got a phonebook when you had a kid and it had all the numbers you'd need to know, santa, the tooth fairy, even the easter bunny. so why wouldn't you have santa on speed dial?

Nope. Tom Cruise takes off his mask, revealing that he's really Mr. T. Also, the soundtrack to DC Cab Assassin: A Hip Hopera is by Schooly D, Laibach, and Melt Banana.

Love that pic. Nothing says "peace on earth, goodwill towards men" like a giant, glowing cock ring with a flagpole in the middle. Can we lighten up on the Freudian subtexts, please? Some of us just had lunch.

I would totally bankroll DC Cab Assassin, starring Mr. T and Tom Cruise. If I had any money, that is.

Maybe someone can bring back Mr. T for a DC Cab sequel.

I think the Michael's comment came from me. Was it in Fair Lakes? Hahaha

But Jamie Foxx was the driver. I always think Cab Assassin too. It makes it more interesting anyway.

I thought they already made Cab Assassin...didn't it star Tom Cruise and Jamie Foxx?
