Thanksgiving in [chat]

Jacobkosh

This song by obscure 80s postpunk band Too Much Joy is my own personal "Fairytale of New York" for the turkey holiday, and has one of my favorite opening verses ever.

"At the $5.99 buffet
In Reno on Thanksgiving day
Nobody seemed to care
Why anyone else was there"

which sure paints a picture in two sentences. I have had Thanksgivings like that, and I know I will again.

Listen to this song and then, later, join me in watching Planes, Trains, and Automobiles - on a square TV in a motel room, if at all possible.

If you're warm and comfortable and cozy on turkey and wine, spare a thought for the holiday traveler or the dude stuck at work, and if you're among the latter, know that you are missed and also nobody will judge you for getting that vending machine Snickers right now.

i am stuck under my sleeping 6mo niece again

Couscous

I just at a Tofurky. As far as seitan goes, I have had better.

We made "Thanksgiving cookies" to take to my aunt's house and no one noticed that I sneaked in a Wu-Tang ornament. Let's see how long that lasts.

We already had our thanksgiving a month ago, but next weekend we're having a homeless Christmas, for all our friends before they go home.

Thankfully, the cross over between thanksgiving dishes and Christmas ones is pretty substantial

*loads up cooking youtube channels and starts taking notes*

Green Bean Salad? What... no.

Jacob I'll have you know I was crafting a heartbreaking post of staggering genius

And now it is lost to the ages

Like tears in rain




It could have been true!

No-Quarter

Who's drinking beers and eating foods and hangin with his nieces?

No-Quarter is

I remember I made turkey last year for thanksgiving, not the traditional one but some other recipe I found.

Turkey is a kind of strange meat, doesn't seem very birdlike from what I'm used to. It was good though!

Kid Presentable

I like you guys

Chanus

if green bean salad is like three bean salad then i bet it could be p good

BeNarwhal

I am very happy to hear that so many [chat]ters are attending lovely Thanksgivings though

It pleases me

Somebody bring me an American turkey sandwich

Is it true that turkeys drown when it rains because they stare at the sky mouth agape?

I saw that in a cartoon film about a dog when I was little.

Can you imagine

We'd have ... such a problem

How would they have even survived to this point

I hope Keanu Reeves plays John Wick in Toy Story 4.

Maybe they've been mostly indoors since they were dinosaurs

i think the idea is this is a post-domestication issue

But they would probably just freak out at the rain instead like a wussy animal experiencing snow for the first time.

same

BeNarwhal

I'm buying some turkeys and conducting some experiments

Best case - alive turkeys that make more turkeys

Worst case - dinner

Honk

There's a very good chance that I will buy this tv in the morning, if it's still available.

I didn't plan to buy anything but I've been googling a lot now and it seems like a very genuinely good deal. I think it's unlikely I would get a tv that big at any point in the near future otherwise.

Domestication really badly messed up turkeys and a lot of other animals.

I've had a big thing of what amounts to soupy chicken salsa going in the crockpot all day and it smells real good. Just shredded the chicken and added corn and black beans.

Maybe I'll get Thanksgiving type stuff tomorrow while people are trampling each other for televisions.

Feels very silly to buy something expensive immediately at payday morning though.

Is ... there another way to do it???

There's the traditional last-night-before-payday coke party but that's about it.

They're so weakened, they can't possibly rebel and devour us.

BeNarwhal

How much do you suppose an alive turkey costs

Probably pretty cheap, right?

... I could have a turkey.
