Reprise: You mock my show and I'll mock yours

We have just enough time remaining before Christmas to re-run two audio gems we posted last year involving Lino and his arch-nemesis, Gus Lloyd. Gus takes it on the chin from Lino on an almost everyday basis, yet is a big believer in Matthew 5:39... "But I say to you, offer no resistance to one who is evil. When someone strikes you on (your) right cheek, turn the other one to him as well." In other words: he usually ignores Lino.

Usually. But while Lino was in Rome last year for the 2nd anniversary of TCGS, Gus decided that it was the perfect opportunity to strike a blow for justice. The result? The Catholic Guy Who Stole Christmas...

Upon his return to New York, Lino swore swift retribution upon Gus. "Swift" was a relative term, as it took three days to come up with it, but what he came up with makes Bob Dylan's Christmas In The Heart sound like a Bing Crosby special:

Gus has wasted no good opportunity this year replaying his song on Seize The Day. Lino's parody on TCGS? Nothing... and we wonder why. We thought that maybe it would have something to do with the mention of names of former TCGS crew members in one of the songs. But that's childish... and we all know that Lino would never act childishly.
