Halloween has pretty much taken hold in Argentina, but they don't seem to have a clue what Thanksgiving is.  And there seems to be a general disdain for turkey down there, at least among the Argies I know.

What Halloween is all about.

And derspiess, I'm sure 911 will be adequate for all your local firefighting needs.   :P

I already have a fire extinguisher ready.  Plus multiple other measures, chief of which is not drinking beforehand.

So, when will Erdogan claim that Muslims discovered turkey first?

If he claims the Turks invented Snicker Salad, there will be trouble.  ;)

So the dinner turned out to be something out of Woody Allen.

My Jewish lawyer friend and his theatre studies major fiancee; a gay couple with a HUGE age difference (my guess: 30-ish); and a leftist interior designer with her boy toy muscular diver boyfriend.

We discussed politics, sex and horrible Warsaw plays over valpolicella, prosciutto crudo with melon and grass fed steaks.

My dad's having Christmas with his girlfriend's family this year, so I'm home alone on Christmas day. Rather looking forward to it, actually, but must get myself something nice to eat.

This is my plan too, seeing if I can stretch it into 3 days.  :cool:

Thanksgiving dinner was a disaster.  Turkey inedible. :(
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017
