And probably pretty merry.

Ever see their movie, "The Yes Men"?


The Yes Men refer to their practice as “identity correction,” ventriloquizing what corporate culture would say if a truth serum made it display its real self.
A range of Yes Men projects are now on display, as videos and clippings and props, in the collective’s first New York retrospective, at Carriage Trade gallery on the Lower East Side. The city’s museums have failed to give the Yes Men a show despite the worldwide attention they’ve garnered, maybe because of the uneasy space they occupy between art and activism.

Your local watering hole or whatever is left of them may be richly filled with old timers.
The ways the old culture thought and spoke is an art form in itself. The days
of Archie Bunker's replaced by watered down Hollywood Midge Maisel's. So sad.
Frequent a local bar and seek out the last of the true rebels of days long gone.
Consider yourself blessed if you find one.

Telling it the way it is no filter. It's an art form. Old NY'ers know.
