On Wham!'s "Last Christmas" Is the Most Horrible Holiday Song Ever Made

485 versions of "Last Christmas" can not be worse than, say, every awful goopy version of "White Christmas." Or "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town." Also, "Little Saint Nick" is worse. And that one where Old Fart McKringle or whoever says "It's the holiday season, so hoop-dee-doo." That's the worst.

On The Strange, Great History Of Norman Mailer's $2.5 Million Penthouse

This is basically a fourth-hand story, but a crazy uncle of a friend once made up a really elaborate lie about how Norman Mailer used to spend his afternoons outside of his apartment passing out free hot dogs. He called them Mailer's Nailers, and now I cannot think of this man without thinking about hot dogs.

On Local Office Manager Stuck in Elevator

I like how "How Do Men Fake Orgasms?" is the first related story.

On Why The Ads For Christmas Engagement Rings Make Me Uncomfortable

I'd appreciate it if more Awl pieces used the "if you like it then you should maybe talk to it instead of putting a ring on it" tag, because that just made me snarf my coffee.

On iTunes' "69-Cent One-Hit Wonders" Ranked By Relative Tolerability

Because hello, did all these people forget "Play That Funky Music"? Jesus Mary and Joseph.
