Day 1,732, Quasi-Quarantine: Week Two Of The Hysterically Bad Fake Advent Calendar

 

As noted after the first week of "gifts," the scam National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation advent calendar is a whole fucking lot. And by a lot, I mean very little in terms of actual goodness and very much of mind-numbing ineptitude.

Welp, nothing I can do about it now except double down on the beer element of advent-calendar season. So here's what week two revealed: 
 
Day 6: Half an RV? That appears to be fashioned out of ... chalk? I can't.
Day 7: Frank Shirley. This was surprisingly acceptable.
Day 8: The green jelly with cat food provided by Aunt Bethany. Two days in a row of vaguely understanding the assignment?
Day 9: Random Christmas tree. Um ... sure?
Day 10: Random sled with Santa. Ostensibly the one that was kicked by Clark, but who can really say.

Two that are as about as on point as such a scam can be, two that at least have a connection to the holiday, and one that is borderline unrecognizable as any kind of entity.

Fifteen more to go, folks -- what could possibly go wrong(er)?
