“It’s Beginning to look a lot like Christmas.” Who actually likes this fossil of a turd? Who the hell even knows what a 5 and 10 is and who the hell names their kids “Barney and Ben?”

If I am shopping and I hear that song I immediately leave the store.

The common phrase was the Five and Dime, and I really like “It’s Beginning to look a lot like Christmas.”

Excuse me, what is wrong with the name "Ben"? Benjamin Franklin, Benjamin Harrison, Ben E. King, Ben Shapiro, Ben Affleck, Benjamin Bratt, Ben Stein, Benjamin Netanyahu, Dr. Benjamin Spock, Ben Vereen; Benjamin Britten...

As for Barney, I'll grant you the only ones I can think of are Barney Fife and Barney Frank. I imagine it is a nickname for Bernard, Barnett, etc.
