Happy thanksgiving, everyone!

spanka what?

It's like baklava, only it has spinach and feta in it.

Nothing like eating to the point of sheer discomfort.

Got yelled at by Mom during game time for taking it too seriously with my 6 year old niece, so once the tears started, I had to take a dive in Candyland.

Just wait until they tell on you for thrashing them on Burnout on the console.

"One day, Uncle Jay Jay will teach you how to play the games he likes."
"What kind of games?"
"Board wargames.  We could play all sorts of games about the Eastern Front."
"Do they have princesses?"
"Yes. Princess Paulus."

Isn't it awfully early to eat dinner, even Thanksgiving dinner?

It's only just 6pm on the east coast...

If you hold off till the evening you can't fit in the traditional Thanksgiving Day nap.

Well, I get to go to my wife's grandmother's for Thanksgiving dinner.  First time I've spent Thanksgiving with any of the in-laws.

AA?

Yeah.

Most people I know do Thanksgiving starting at noon or 1.  We got there around 12:30 and started eating roughly 1:15 (because my sister in law was, as usual, late).

That's true, it annoys the hell out of me. Big meals shouldn't be eaten in the evening. There's no need to change that policy on holidays;

I'm posting from work on a Friday. It's not a holiday.

My workplace was open on Thanksgiving, but I lucked out and got the day off.

[Grey Fox]

I'm at work.

He's jumped ship to another country during the tough economic times. No turkey for him!

[katmai]

Oh man I overdosed on smoked turkey.

The turkey at the restaurant we went to yesterday wasn't bad.  But it was still Thanksgiving in a restaurant 

Mom decided she would've been "too stressed" to do Thanksgiving and Christmas at her house and my sister in law decided her house was too small (it's not).  Our house really is too small to host everyone, so we went out for dinner.  So much for tradition.

Anywho, I almost had mom in tears when I announced that if they pull something like that next year, I'm boycotting the whole thing. 

Wife felt bad for me, so she's doing an entire Turkey dinner tomorrow just for me

You sound like my whiny brothers.

Thanksgiving part 1 was at my Mom's.

Thanksgiving part 2 was at my Dad's.

Thanksgiving part 3 was at my girlfriend's family's house.

By the time I got to my girlfriend's, I was completely full, but I did the polite thing and continued to stuff my face.
