Sadvent Calendar 2015 – The Thothening! 17 December

It's…



















Penn & Teller & Slipknot!
No idea what's going on here aside from the obvious Thothing, but we reckon it's the clown one backstage at Bullshit! or something. How terribly festive, eh, readers?

Sadvent Calendar 2015 – The Thothening! 16 December

It's…


Peter Steele!
Oh, Uncle Peter… why did you have to leave us? More to the point, why didn't you pose for a picture throwing the horns before you popped your size-17 clogs? A V-sign will have to do for now. Season's greetings, tall bugger. x

Sadvent Calendar 2015 – The Thothening! 15 December

It's…























Gwen Stefani!
No doubt (yes, we went there…) this shot was taken on an ill-advised pub crawl, during which G-Stef would have warned her Harajuku Girls to avoid blokes called Gavin because they are the devil. We disagree – they're not Satanic, they just BRING SHAME ON WALES.













WRONG. WRONG. WRONG. When we said we liked a husky gentleman, we were thinking Parks & Rec-era Chris Pratt.

It's…



















Pope Francis and Archbishop Antonio Tagle! Apparently it means "I love you" in the Philippines – metal as eff! Nice one, Francis – although we're still hoping for a Scandinavian Pope to be elected at some point, just because of how "Urbi et Orbi" would sound in the accent.

Saturday, 12 December 2015

Sadvent Calendar 2015 – The Thothening! 13 December

It's…























Dave Mustaine! 
Because there's nothing we like better in the run-up to Christmas than to snuggle up under a tatty old Slanket sipping a cup of Dave Mustaine Coffee. Which inevitably leads to dreams of being abandoned outside a pub and forced to scrap with "Junior" Ellefson over pop and crisps. May your coffee be Thothy, everyone.


Sadvent Calendar 2015 – The Thothening! 12 December

Katy Perry! 
She Thothed a girl, and she liked it, apparently.

Thursday, 10 December 2015

Sadvent Calendar 2015 – The Thothening! 10 December

It's…























Guy Fieri! 
We once read an article that attempted to disparage Guy by likening him to one of the Biker Mice From Mars. Well, you know what? We actually WANTED a Biker Mouse From Mars for Christmas when they were the in thing, and we would have got one too, except we ended up choosing the Street Shark that looks like Pete Steele instead. But, as we settle down to our Christmas dinner of Quavers seasoned with turkey gravy powder, we'd give anything for a taste of Triple D. All very well in hindsight, isn't it?














The Street Shark that looks like Pete Steele.
Can't cook, won't cook.

Sir Alfred Hitchcock!

Of course, there's a possibility he was having problems with his hand swearing and was actually trying to flip someone The Bird(s)...

Sir Christopher Lee!

Yes, it's that time of year again, and having exhausted our supply of festive ADGE and Vs (well, for now, at least…) we've turned our hands to the throwing of horns – or, as we know it, THOTHING. (Don't ask…)

To kick things off, we're paying tribute to a film (and music) legend in the truest sense of the word. Sod Star Wars, LOTR and The Wicker Man, and even his heavy metal album about Charlemagne – we love him because he once sang about GIRL DRINKS. Farewell, Sir Christopher – Planet Sad misses you lots, like whisky tots.
