Happy Thanksgiving Everybody!

[Savage]

Well, the annual Thanksgiving dental crown fallout commenced last night, and of course, as always, my slackass dentist will not be working until Monday. At least it didn't happen during Turkey day dinnertime, in front of people who were trying to eat without gagging, and I was drinking a large Kentucky tonic at the time, so I suppose the alcohol sanitized the area. I suppose I'm lucky it didn't happen just before Yule (like it did a couple of years ago), as dear dentist pretty much takes the entire Christmas season off. Must be nice, having a trust fund. Anyway, hold my calls. I, and my deformed dentition, will be in the kitchen, with my hand up a turkey's butt, drinking some of this:

Holiday Morning Cheer
One section of orange peel, studded with whole cloves. Boil with water, add tea, steep 3-5 minutes. Cool down a bit with 2 oz. bourbon. Some people (Grumpy) add honey at this point, but not me. I'm sweet enough already. (snork)

I'd like to do at least one Thanksgiving in my life. It's one of those occasions when you are not only entitled but also encouraged to get drunk and I never could take part in it.

go for it, boozy. it's tomorrow. make sure people know you're celebrating thanksgiving, if they ask, too. if you like it, there's a canadian one in october or some nonsense, too.

The in-laws are poised to descend and do away with my precious booze, and I've been ordered inside this year instead of my tradional outside Turkey smoking.

Thank God for HDTV and he Lions-Packers game.

By 4PM I should be driving the short bus to Hammeredtown.

[Wingman]

just got an out-of-the-blue offer of a d.d. tomorrow!

cheers, all!

The turkey is finishing up its 5 day thaw. All the sausages are ready for cooking to become a part of the stuffing. Ruiner has delivered my Weber that I keep at his house. The car is out of the garage and the cooking station is almost ready. Put up another 60 beers to be ready for basting and (well) self basting. Wife cleaned the house (rediculous as soon as the brood gets here its trashed).

I'm ready for a morning/early afternoon of standing around the garage watching over the turkey being roasted over coals, watching football on the 13" garage TV just over the refrigerator full of beer. At some time I'll go inside to see what football looks like on the big screen plasma but seeing the house full of relatives, I'll retreat to the sactuary of the car house.

I always hear about how good the food is. I'm told I eat some of it but mostlly I just black out by the time the bird is done.

Knocked off at 3......not much longer for this night.

Happy Thanksgiving.

Yesterday I got a bird for thanksgiving dinner :

This... was once mine.

My consolation this morning is the best bacon bloody I've ever had, and being able to set up a full bar.

The Grumpy slept through the alarm, and so had to take my car to work. HELL-FUCKING-O! It is the Tuesday before the Thursday-giving! So now, my elderly parents did not get taken care of, I have not purchased the veggies and fruit and so forth and so on for our TDAY feast. AAARGH! And, we have no damn bourbon. I bet any jury in the USA would exonerate me.

I'm firing up the chainsaw.

[Wingman]

happy thanksgiving, all!

so in thanksgivings past, i've made the--admittedly rookie--mistake of eating too much to get a nice buzz on. and i do love gorging on great food, so this is not actually a big problem, but i don't plan to let this year go in this fashion. the m.i.l. bought me a bottle of maker's mark and a for my stay, and the f.i.l. brings over a bottle of sailor for the spiced cider!

gotta run, but have a great one, drunks!

A crushing hangover, 30 potatoes to peel, and 38 of my wife's relatives arriving in 1/2 hour.

I am beginning recovery with a Irish coffee, in tribute to Brian Kelly.

[BeerMakesMeSmart]

As God as my witness, I thought turkeys could fly.

[Smatter Noguts]

Wild Turkeys can, WKRP notwithstanding.

Switching to Ranger IPA.
