Happy Thanksgiving, members and moderators.
May the bountiful things in life be yours in abundance.
Not only at Thanksgiving but every day of the year.

Thanks.

I was expecting a thread about this woman:

Good thing she wasn't born on Black Friday.

Good thing she wasn't born on Black Friday.

Or March 14.

The night before Thanksgiving ranks above St. Patrick's Day and New Year's Eve for drunk driving arrests.
Call a cab if you've been drinking.

One way I can tell I'm an old fart is that I have no desire to go out on Thanksgiving Eve. BTW, for reasons known to no one, Labor Day weekend is usually the event with the most DWIs in Massachusetts.

Thanks for the well-wished 3OF.

But am I the only one mildly outraged that retailers are opening for "Black Friday" sales on Thanksgiving now?

 

[3_Octave_Fart]

I was planning on being there to buy a PS4.
Wife vetoed that immediately.
I look forward to reading the shopworn "Black Friday" color piece. Not.

No.

Wow! I would never have suspected that...

My "nights before Thanksgiving" used to be consumed sitting in traffic heading to my parents' house for the Thursday chow-down. Lately, it has been consumed preparing to be the host for Thursday chow-downs. I never suspected that folks would be tanking up before hitting the overcrowded highways.

And there's no way she could've been conceived on March 14.

Most people are assembled with family by Wednesday night.

Happy Thanksgiving! ****ter's full!

Hope everyone has a great day that passes without incident. I just got back from Thanksgiving dinner with about a dozen or so American expats -- by far the best Thanksgiving I've spent outside the US. Good food, fun conversation and an amazing view from 60 stories above the Abu Dhabi Corniche.

Now hopefully the wireless holds out long enough to Skype the parents....

I get that.

Here in Canada, Labour Day is considered the real New Year's Day.

No.

And not only that, Canadian stores are having "Black Friday" sales.

We had Thanksgiving last month and we already have a Black Friday--Boxing Day.

Is 21's Thanksgiving Tradition over? Sad

Lions won so it's already a pretty damned good Thanksgiving to me (plus I actually get to see an entire Lions game which is rare since I live 1000 miles from Detroit and the NFL just assumes I want to be a Chiefs fan now)
I did spend last night at the bar. I mean, biggest bar night of the year, I have to spend that holiday with the ones I love--- my bartenders.
