There is a very, very, very long list of things that I can think of doing this weekend that aren’t nearly as much fun as clicking this link and reading most of Jean Shepherd’s all-time classic, In God We Trust (All Others Pay Cash). (A few chapters are missing, but what’s there is absolutely worth the time.)

If you’re a fan of A Christmas Story (and who isn’t?), pay particular attention to chapters II (the Red Ryder story), IV (a crummy commercial!) and X (a major award!). But read it all; you won’t be sorry.  In fact, you’ll probably want to move on to Wanda Hickey’s Night of Golden Memories and Other Disasters and read about the Bumpus hounds.

Excelsior!
