Didi Snavely: This is Didi Snavely for Didi's used weapons. Heaven forbid during this joyous season that you should be the victim of a holiday robbery. But wouldn't you rather shoot somebody than watch'em run off with your new toaster oven? I know I would. Didi's Used Weapons has weapons for the car, the home, and the workplace. At Didi's Used Weapons you'll have a Holly Jolly Christmas, and the criminal will have a Silent Night!

Featured review
A Tuna Christmas is a nice change-of-pace from the usual holiday fare
Having long seen this video on display in my local library and wanting to see anything that fits the Christmas season, I decided to check out A Tuna Christmas out of curiosity. Joe Sears and Jaston Williams are the only actors playing a multitude of characters that live in the small Texas town of Tuna as they all prepare for Christmas. It begins at a radio station then goes to a woman with two grown twins-a girl and a boy-at a house then to a diner then back at the radio station...and many other stuff that is impossible to describe. The humor comes naturally and is always based on characterization as opposed on one-liners. Ed Howard co-wrote with Sears and Williams a sort of Robert Altman-style of pacing that seems more improvised than scripted. Nice spreading of various holiday songs provided by mainly country artists like Randy Travis or Buck Owens throughout many transitions. Taped live at a theater in Dallas, A Tuna Christmas was a most enjoyable play that provided plenty of laughs with some touching drama near the end. If I ever come across its predecessor, Greater Tuna, I'll certainly check that out!
