Crossed Giblets of Death: The Next Generation

Who'll be facepalming at the dinner table this Thanksgiving?

 

Those threads were some of the first fiction I ever read.

 

Happy Thanksgiving, y'all.

I'm an hour away from having some food from "the outside," as some local staffers are bringing in Iraqi cuisine for a lunch (involves lamb, not turkey) and then will do the traditional in the cafeteria for dinner. I'm told they put on quite a spread - roasted turkey, fried turkey, smoked turkey, etc. I just hope there are leftovers for tomorrow. That's the best part.

It's gorgeous here. Hope everyone stays warm where you are.

 

Hard to be anything but warm down here at the equator. I have no Thanksgiving plans other than a Skype call home that I expect will go at least an hour. If I'm feeling splashy, I'll pick up some turkey at the expat grocery store and make a nice sandwich.

 

My wife will most likely be the one facepalming at the Thanksgiving table here in Saluda, NC. Just me, her and the dog at the family cabin, so pretty sure she’ll be sick of my jokes by 3 pm.

We did the traditional meal for Canadian Thanksgiving already, so the spread is duck breast (a first for us), roasted potatoes and sautéed swiss chard.

Happy Thanksgiving to you all.

 

Our 14-year-old dog was able to fetch the heaviest newspaper of the year.

He was amply rewarded.

That's Thanksgiving in our house.

 

Exactly, some of the best fiction this board has ever seen, dueling for the clubhouse lead with Moddy and PC's take on the Spenser novels.

 

Thankshallowistmas. ... Learn it. Live it. Love it!

 

I'm the only one here younger than 70. I am 42.

 

Sounds like you should be able to pick up no problem.

 

My dads have moved permanently to Florida. My mother still lives in Maine.

Since I didn't have Friday off, that meant I didn't have a relative to go to for Thanksgiving. I ended up going to a local gay sports bar to watch the Cowboys-Washington game.

I stuffed my face non-traditionally by going for garlic Parmesan wings and an arepa.

When I got home, I found out one of my roommates had made a plate for me. I ended up taking that in for lunch for today.

 

Why is every can of cranberry sauce labeled upside down?
Noticed this this year. We had four or five cans, different brands, and every single one of them has the top of the label pointing toward the thick bottom of the can that you can't get through with a can opener. So it's obviously an industry standard of some sort. But why?
