  1. chesthair should be live streaming his Thanksgiving. For our amusement I mean science.

    Anyone coming to our house on Thanksgiving will need to accept the following:

    • apple brined, hickory smoked turkey (go someplace else if you want it deep fried)
    • a cornucopia of craft beers, wine, bourbon & whiskey
    • football on the TVs. All day
    • when the sun sets, the outdoor xmas lights are turned on & the vinyl classic holiday LPs go on the turntable
    • drinks around the fire pit while we stare at the stars

  2. Who was the poster on the old site who recounted the story of his good for nothing relative (BIL?) that forced the entire family to wait 4 hours for Thanksgiving dinner because the matriarch of the family refused to eat until he was there? And the guy lived like 20 minutes from the house? No calls/texts or explanation for being late, just "I'll be there in a bit" and left everyone sitting around while the meal went to shit?

  3. Just had 3 Trumpkin pals at my pub show me a meme. "Evidence of Trump grabbing a pussy." Of course it's dotard shaking Obama's hand.

    They laughed. I asked "which one of them avoided a ceremony for WWI soldiers on Sunday due to rain, and then didn't place a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington this morning? "

    One replied with a sheepish, "yeah, that was odd."

  4. Congrats, BearSchlong. There's a lot of truth in what you wrote. My ex's family was actually pretty cool about the holidays. But it was a given that we would spend both Thanksgiving and Xmas at her mom's house (usually for the weekend). We were young & generally broke so it wasn't that big of a hassle. And her mom was a damn good cook which helped tremendously. My biggest bitch is she'd never let me smoke the turkey, she HAD to oven roast it which was alright, but not as good as mine. 

    Those were pretty damn good times, actually. I'd hang out with my wife's uncle (he was the same age as my dad), drinking beer & shooting pool at his place or at the local ice house. About the only drama came from the uncle's bitch of a wife who couldn't boil water but every year she'd insist on making several items that were either burnt, half-way frozen, or burnt AND half-way frozen. People would try to eat the least amount possible to be polite but it was inedible. When it came time to clean up she'd make a big statement about how everyone MUST have filled up on the other courses and that's the ONLY reason why she had so much food leftover. Then she'd start crying & run out into the garage. Don't miss that shit.
