OAO Let's Bitch About Thanksgiving Thread

[Guest Plushy Al Logan]

Why do I hate it:

 

Three failed marraiges

Greddy family members

Why is this the special day when all Americans can be fatasses?!

Why just eat Turkey? I'm eating 10 lbs. of Salami, and four gallons of Vanilla Ice cream.

Stupid family members. "In Hawaii..." (This bitch does this every year, despite living in California for the past ten years)

Metallica, Metallica, Metallica, Metallica.

 

 

 

Anyone else have any reasons to bitch about it?

Well, I have to work, so I can't sit and watch the Pacers whoop the Knicks' asses after dinner.

 

*bitches*

Thanksgiving in November???

 

Now thats fucked up

[OldSchoolWrestling 0]

I have to drive 90 minutes to eat with HER family who I could care less about. Then I have to drive 2 hours to eat with my family who annoys me. That's fucked up.

I also have two dinners to go to (my aunt's house on Thursday, my parents' house on Saturday), which is just perfect because nobody in my family has any idea how to talk to each other. We all just sit there staring at each other, while listening to my uncle Greg smack his fucking lips every time he chews a damn bite.

 

That and my aunt's dressing is basically warmed over shit. You have to eat some too, otherwise she gets all pissed off and makes the rest of us even more miserable.

Christmas > Thanksgiving

My grandma will give me a brand of cigarettes I don't smoke. And gramps will walk around in his underwear.

I might not be getting involved with my family -- mom is going to her "natural" family in TN and my old man hasn't called me yet, so this might not be a bad holiday after all.

 

Woo-hoo! No word from the old man, and it's Wednesday...

If the snow doesn't reach two feet here real fast, I'm having everybody over to my house. This would be the first gathering since my a relative of mine got drunk and had the police called at a family wedding. Also it is the first family function since my pseudo-niece moved in with me. I already know that some in the family aren't happy that I took her in and that some of them incorrectly think we're engaging in inappropriate acts and I just want to avoid that family drama.

No worries here, I'm pretty well distant from my family as is

 

I don't get the Thanksgiving/Metallica association though

[CanadianChris 0]

I don't know why you guys insist on talking about Thanksgiving six weeks after it happened.

[Hoff 0]

Pissy --

 

Yeah, see, snow is awesome. I mean I know you know, but still.

 

And also, Canadians who make lame jokes about the differences in U.S. and Canadian calendars = NOT FUNNY. We get it, har har. Stop.

[CanadianChris 0]

All complaints from Americans about Canadians making lame jokes about the US will be no-sold.

[Hoff 0]

Boooo. *boos*

The only thing good about Canada is hockey. And beer. And Wayne Gretzky (I know, he is hockey). And Paulina Gretzky (4 more years). And Don Cherry. And Marie-Chantal Toupin. And Benoit, the Harts, Jericho, Lance Storm and whoever I forgot. And poutine.

Hey...I'm not doubting that.

[Slayer 0]

Fuck Greenbay

Seconded

 

Come on Detroit, help widen Minnesota's lead in the North

[Guest Goodear]

I have a nice normal family and we'll eat and enjoy and then watch football and hopefully a parade... Ahhh good times.

[haVoc 0]

Oh, I get to drink beer and wine all day and I have an excuse, it's Thanksgiving! I dont need to hide it because it's not like it's lunch at Grandma's house on Tuesday afternoon.

[Zack Malibu 0]

Maimi sucks

It's a good thing you said Maimi sucks, because if you said that MIAMI sucked, we'd be having words.

 

As for my day, I've got nothing to bitch about. You can't beat Italian meals on normal days, never mind holidays. And it's also the HGC's birthday, so I'll get to hang with her at night after I've devoured more than my slender frame can handle.

[Hoff 0]

Come on Detroit, help widen Minnesota's lead in the North

Yes! Do that.

As much as I love football, on Turkey Day this year, I just might have to pass on it. ESPN is showing the 2003 World Series of Poker from 12:30 until 7:30, and Fox Sports Net has another poker tourney on in the evening. I'll probably miss the latter one, though, since I'll be having dinner with my parents at a friend of the family's. Unless I can persuade them to watch it.

Thanksgiving was fun until last year when we moved it from my great aunt's house (which came with the package deal of eating with ADD-addled kids while in an old-timey general store) to my grandparent's secluded mansion (which has no ADD-addled kids).

[Guest FrigidSoul]

Survivor Series should still be a Thanksgiving PPV

 

Football, turkey, more football, and Survivor Series

[Guest The Winter Of My Discontent]

Dr. Tom watched the World Championships of Poker? How fitting.

 

When you play Tom, do you wear a pair of bad ass sunglasses? If so, I envy you.

And the Macy Thanksgiving Day parade.

Fuck yes. Ray-bans, baby, Ray-bans.
