One fucking hand towel for 50 people.

I used the curtains.

Those hosts are embarrassingly stupid. Get more towels or have paper towels for guests.

I brought a football to toss with my eldest. So I guess there is that.

This is required for any family gathering.  I brought an athletics bag with 2 sized soccer balls, 3 sizes of football and a basketball. At 10am on Friday morning my FIL and his brother decided to turn on Fox News and talk about everyone who needs to be deported. So I rounded up my son and 2 cousins in the room to go to the park to throw the football and kick the soccer ball.  That was an hour well spent away from the rest of the family. When we got back football was on.

I was pretty hammered, but I think I was making many jokes about it. Loudly.

I may have found some correlation to Parliament's theory here....

I haven’t seen hand soap in my parent’s house in a decade. The only time I carry hand sanitizer is when we go over there.

Any room left in that garage for you to drink alone?

You should see the frikin barn. About a dozen odd tractor and tractor accessories between the pecan processing machinery.  Have to drink standing up.

Apparently lead. With my wife’s uncle you can never be too sure. I will say I haven’t seen any shot lying around.

Looks like a 10 pounder. Maybe 12.

Where is @pearlandhorn in all this holiday drama?

Pretty chill thanksgiving honestly.

No extended family this holiday. Christmas will be the story maker this year.

so a 254mm? Interesting selection. Army Brat swears by them from his time on the Crimea peninsula.

Spent Thanksgiving with my mom’s side of the family.  She has an absurd number of siblings and they all live near each other in a shithole on the coast.  Ultra-conservative, ultra-ultra catholic.  All my like-minded people who are anti-Trump and/or agnostic were either at their other family’s or just bailed altogether.  So I spent the weekend feeling very lonely.  
 

These people make the characters from Hillbilly Elegy look guilded.  They all make such poor life decisions that are very difficult to look past.  The main house has 2 slushy machines and 3 ice cream dispensers that are always running.  My kids had more sugar Th-Sat than they had in the previous month combined.  All the kids except mine are walking around like zombies streaming YouTube or video games on their iPhones.  There were 3 cups with bleeding-ear Trump pictures (“Fight! Fight! Fight!”) on them at the table where I ate my Thanksgiving dinner.  Had to listen to my cousin’s wife yap about how great RFK Jr was gonna be and how dangerous vaccines are while everybody else yepped along like fucking Boomhauer from King of the Hill.

There really wasn’t much drama.  And I had a good time watching us beat the Aggies with my dad.  But all in all I’d be just fine never celebrating Thanksgiving there again.

[Iceman 2819]

What the fuck is wrong with ice cream machines?  and if they didn't have booze in the slushy machines, that was a concoction that would render me bored.

[Sam Lin 3566]

Only a communist could hate home slushy and ice cream machines. Why are you so communist?
