Dreading the day

[teach1st]

Ah, Thanksgiving

Stuffing the turkey
Marinating the meat
Walking the turtle
Shredding the cheese
Seasoning the gravy
Kneading the dough
Goosing the cook
Slapping the uncle
Basting the butterball
Gnawing the bone
Forging the prescriptions

1. Your house sounds like fun - can I come over?

I get to go to my RW nutjuob in-laws tomorrow. They'll be so thankful dumbya got re-elected. I'll be thankful if I don't get into a cursing match with them.

3. Will you walk the turtle?

That's important.

[rkc3]

6. If that's what you're calling it these days, I'll be there at 2:00.

7. This isn't a sex thread, is it?

[rkc3]

9. You wrote "Gnawing the Bone" and you're asking me if it's a sex thread?

[teach1st]

10. I prefer to think of it as...

...holiday cheer.

[rkc3]

11. Holiday cheer is an oxymoron.

If you say it isn't a sex thread, I'll let it go.

2. Hey, at least you're cooking.

I have nobody to cook for.

[teach1st]

4. Ain't going..

I've called in and cancelled - bad weather and bad crowds for traveling. I'm having tuna fish and vodka, all alone too.

[Phillycat]

5. Here's to us, then.

:toast:

8. And to DU...I'll be here, posting away

I'll watch about 15 minutes of the parades, and then turn off the television and stay here.

I really like to be alone, though. A solitary holiday is cool with me.
