crossed giblets of death, 2011

It'll be a perfect day: fresh bagels and coffee to go with my New York Times, football games on the Surround Sound, warm enough to wear short sleeves and shorts, no kids to spill gravy on the new carpet. I'd have to go out in order to watch the last of the NFL games, but with all the wine I'll have throughout the day, the Dolphins should be the perfect tonic to have me napping before that game goes final.

 

Rule 1 for deep frying anything that large is DO IT OUTSIDE!
Away from the house, porch and garage.

They are tasty.

 

Well, roomie's been saying she wants to deep fry for about two weeks now. But I haven't yet seen any evidence other than the turkey itself. I have a feeling she's changed her mind but doesn't want to admit it yet.

 

You can always go beer-can bird - depending on size of bird.
It's safer and pretty good as well.

 

Ms. SixToe is merrily whistling and making a layered concoction of Cool Whip, strawberries and something else.

"Get your finger out of there! It's dirty!"

Not really, but I know it annoys her and makes the kids laugh.

Daughter SixToe is making deviled eggs. Son is chilling.

Life is good. Best wishes to all for a great Thanksgiving.

 

The adult video store in Murfreesboro was advertising its Black Friday specials on the marquee.

Happy birthday Jesus. Hope you like porn.

 

Something nice to be said about early holdiay deadlines: The hell with the NHL and college basketball, and on this day, thankful for the NBA lockout. Preview of the high schoool playoffs, state cross country meet and all of Thursday's football games, and that's how Thursday's pages got done before Wednesdays!

 

Maybe 21 can hook up the AV store with Lola the parrot and it can scream "PENIS!" at cars going by.

Nothing says Thanksgiving like AV marquee specials!

 

Christmas lights are up. Christmas tree is up. Laundry is put away.

Time for the fun to begin. After some sleep.

 

Post from FB of a former co-worker of mine: He wanted to know if tonight was too late to start thawing his turkey...and how he should thaw it using the microwave.
I hope he gets salmonella.

 

Confirmed: Roomie changed her mind. She's getting up at 6:30 to put the bird in the oven.

 

I got a free ticket to what could be the last Texas-Texas A&M game. Never been to Kyle Field, or around that area for a game, so this should be interesting. Any tips?
