Don’t Acme

An attic on a space ship?

The anvils are there to provide a heavy punchline . . . Duh.

They’re for the Christman Wile E. Coyotes.

You have them so you can play the chorus.

The anvils are there for the extra weight. So the space station doesn’t float off into space.

Part of Acme’s ‘Buy 10 snowglobes, get a free Christmas Anvil’ promotion.

Wouldn’t Brewster just turn off the artificial gravity first?

Brewster, the Christmas anvils are supposed to be stored in the basement, not the attic.

Now we know why Pam wanted to fight the space squids and not put away the Christmas decorations.

O.T. but true. Yesterday we were driving through the city and passed a house where they still had the reindeer decoration on the porch roof. Then I spotted a new winner for leaving the holiday decorations up far too long: a Halloween witch figure plastered face-first against a tree in another front yard.

So you can play the Anvil Chorus, Brewster…

Duh! It’s tradition! (The next box is even heavier: fruitcake.)

Why not?

“Christmas 16-Ton Weights”

“OK, now you’re just messin’ with me!”

Wait until he has to deal with the neutronium New Year’s decorations. :)

You still have 47 Christmas trees to put away.

I guess the Christmas anvils are to drop on Christmas coyotes.

What, prey tell, is a Christmas anvil? And, I hope those aren’t real candles. There are some very realistic candles with LED flames that don’t use any oxygen to light up.

Well Brewster, of the cartoon people attack…

Because it wouldn’t be Christmas without anvils.

Hey Brewster, I will carry them up for you while you stand here on this big black X.

Now who is the resident sadist in the station? Would that be Doctor Mel Practice?

The anvils are there for the chorus. :]

… and that’s why we put them under the steps now.
