Fuzzy Needs A Helicopter To Rise Above the Weird News Mess

Author Jim Monaghan
Officer Directs Traffic on Pacific Coast Highway

You know things have gone WAY beyond strange when Fuzzy has to resort to a helicopter to rise above the mess that is Weird News.

Weird News 12-21-23

ANNOUNCER – Time now for WDHA’s Weird News with Michael Fuzzy Lee.

FUZZY – Today in Weird News, with the holidays approaching, burglaries are through the roof, literally.

Police in Texas say they received a call from a homeowner that the burglar was in the house. When the officer arrived, the man apparently tried to climb up the chimney to get out of the house, but he slipped and fell and became stuck inside for several hours before firefighters eventually came and rescued him.

Here’s a little advice for the burglars out there. When stuck in a chimney, sing a holiday song to pass the time.

Tis the season to rob a house. All I wanted was a six pack of beer. Tried to escape down through the chimney but I fell and wedged my rear. Firefighters came to unwedge me. Now I’m in custody.

You gotta love these stupid holiday stories. F*&%8ing burglars, they’ll never learn.

And this just then, we have a breaking story coming to the Weird News desk. Apparently, a semi truck overturned in Utah’s Logan Canyon. Let’s go live now to Papa Woody and Chopper One.

POPPA WOODY – Well, thank you, Mr. Fuzzy. There’s been a lot of truck spills lately, but this one really takes the cake. It seems that a truck filled with baking flour spilled their entire load all over the place. And cleaning up this mess is no piece of cake. But I do see people who are up for the challenge. Volunteers from all over the area have decided to unite. I see people transporting eggs, sugar, and I also see another person hauling a giant spatula to mix the ingredients together. And if the weather report holds true, some rain will come down later today, making loads of dough.

FUZZY – That’s incredible. Papa Woody, just in time for the holidays, right?
PW – You took the words right out of my mouth, Mr. Fuzzy. It brings a dear to my eye to witness such a thing. People uniting under one banner to bake a giant holiday cake on the road. So I guess the old idiom is true. You can have your cake and eat it, too, but at the end of the day, you have to eat it so traffic can flow again. But it truly is a holiday miracle. Back to you, Mr. Fuzzy.

FUZZY – Well, thank you, Poppa Woody, for such an inspiring story. And that’s DHA’s Weird News.

5 Incredible Movies That Take Place At Christmas Time But Aren’t Necessarily Holiday Films

Have you been getting your fill of holiday movies? Are you into Christmas classics? Comedies, rom-coms, Dramas, or Religious themed flicks? Whatever you’re into, there are a plethora of movies to choose from to get you in that Holly Jolly spirit. Today, let’s take a look at 5 incredible movies that take place at Christmas Time but aren’t necessarily Holiday films.

I Christmas movie setting sometimes sparks a debate! Is it a Christmas film or is that just the setting? Could the movie have happened any time of the year? Or, is there some importance to when the scenes of the film happen?

It’s hard to say exactly what is and isn’t a Christmas movie. I mean, heck, a few weeks back I reviewed “Violent Night” which takes place on Christmas Eve with Santa himself. Except he’s beating the crap out of thugs and criminals and saving a family from being held hostage. So, some might even say, is that really a Christmas movie?

What I kind of think is that if the film makes you feel good, then it could be considered a holiday film. As long as it has some other big factors. Taking place on or around Christmas. Someone dressed like Santa. Gift-giving or Christmas music, etc. I think as long as one of those happens and you get a warm feeling from it, you can call it a Christmas movie.

Now keep in mind, there are all sorts of “warm” feelings. The end of the movie doesn’t have to have all of the characters holding hands or hugging on Christmas Morning as Santa watches from afar. It could just be a satisfying ending with some good dialog that makes things right in the world of the film itself.

Why don’t we take a look now at 5 incredible movies that take place at Christmas Time but aren’t necessarily Holiday films.

  • LETAHL WEAPON

    It’s an iconic buddy-cop action movie with some great scenes that happen during the holiday season. Even the opening credits have Bobby Helms’s “Jingle Bell Rock” playing over them!

  • BATMAN RETURNS

    Sure, you don’t automatically think Christmas when you hear this title, but in the odd, but satisfying Tim Burton-directed sequel,  there are some holly jolly moments which give it Christmas-adjacent feels.

  • TRADING PLACES

    Eddie murphy and Dan Akroyd?  Yeah it’s got the laughs.  But there’s an argument to be made that it’s just a holiday movie in general since it starts around Thanksgiving and wraps New Year’s!

  • THE LONG KISS GOODNIGHT

    Geena Davis has amnesia, but slowly begins to remember she used to be a spy.  There’s some great action all set to Christmas music!  Family sing-a-long?

  • DIE HARD

    So it’s set at Christmas time, but is also one of the greatest action movies ever made.  I’ll let you decide the argument of whether or not it’s a Christmas flick!
