Pre-Gaming For Thanksgiving (sike.)

SO the Turkey Day is tomorrow, and I'm sitting in the dorm packing, waiting to load up Rayquanda the Honda and go to work for a couple hours - the only commitment I have had today. And I'm thinking about this whole Thanksgiving business...with the stuffed bellies and the indians and the hand turkeys. This is a really strange concept - it's basically a settler-inspired buffet. And believe me, those of us with fat-kid souls can't turn away from a holiday like this. But it also makes me think of all the friends I have and their families - do they celebrate like the Farley family does? Is there some strange tradition that occurs in their houses that would be silly or amaze me? Basically, the FArley Thanksgiving consists of Dad and Ernie watching The Game, Dad running back and forth between commercial breaks to tend to the food, snd all the ladies drinking coffee and making food and sneaking bites in the kitchen. Also, no Farley family function is without one of my Granny's famous jabs and jibes ( I almost typed jives...heehee..."you is one fly-ass muthafuckah granny!") at whatever we are and are not doing with our lives. At this point, I have my usual homicidal daydream, the best of which was putting arsenic into her tea. But I digress.Then we eat too much, the old kids drink too much as well, we all pass out on the couches and floors in our own little comas, and sleep until we can stomach dessert. Then we watch a movie, and everyone sleeps through it. Welcome to my Thanksgiving! But I'm excited to go home, and I can get a good bit of reading done when I'm not cooking. We're also picking out our Christmas tree and decorating the house for the holidays...prolly cleaning it too. But give me a ring if you need anything or want to talk! And have a great Thanksgiving everyone!

Also, head over to I Guess I'm Floating and catch their Thanksgiving/Germany Unity Day/OJ mixes. They're pretty great:
