Yep, that is the one that has roasting chipmonks on an open fire and the 
one about feeding the homeless for the holidays cracks me up.
I love that stuff.  I also have one called criptmas done by the guy who 
did the mumie's voice on tails from the cript.  Has such little goodies 
as we wish you'd bury the mrs and so forth.  I can put a bunch of that 
stuff up if anyone wants it.
