Happy Thanksgiving, all. While the rest of you are watching football and eating turkey, I'll be working and eating macaroni and cheese. What I'm saying is, if you're lucky enough to be off, fucking enjoy it.

Up all early to cook...

Despite the fact I woke up at 8, I’m thankful to be off and with the family. Happy Turkey Day, all! Have a safe one, enjoy watching a Detroit team lose, and don’t gorge yourselves on turkey and pie too much.

Ok, gorge yourselves.

Not much cooking for me today

Just have to boil the ravioli when I get to my Mom’s early this afternoon.
Starting the morning as always watching the Macy’s parade

I hope everyone has a safe Thanksgiving.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Sucks to be you Joe. Maybe someone can sneak a turkey breast up to Hannibal for you or something. I’d do it if I could.

Also, that e-mail thread would have taken Office Space to a new level.

Malt Liquor

Mickey’s Destroys all when it comes to taste. Colt 45 is number 2 because Billy D will never stee you wrong. 8-Ball, is tolerable but Mickey’s would move in on Old E’s action, fuck it’s girlfriend (and mom) and then kick Old E out duh house for being a bitch.

North Co! North Co! North Co!

did you just say Fuck Detroit?

And something about torn assholes? I’d pay to hear this toast.

Some things you don't say in mixed company, you know.

Those two are not two of those things.

Hell, I think I heard my dad say “Fuck Detroit” today a few times. Not sure if that had anything to do with last night or not, or if he just hates 99.9 % of everyone from that city, but I’ll take what I can get.

Thanksgiving is a family tradition, and you probably already have a checklist to follow on this occasion. At this day, you want to make sure you have the requisite Thanksgiving tools – you need a bird (duh) and stuffing, and if the in laws are showing up, antacids. Thanksgiving brings with it football, and also the day after – when everybody goes shopping, and there is a lot of money going to be spent this year. It’s also easier to know just how much food to buy and therefore prepare if you have all your guests RSVP ahead of time. (However, it never works out that way.) If you clip some Thanksgiving coupons, you could put on a royal spread without online cash loans or credit cards.
