The whole family is going to NYC for Thanksgiving week, to take the nieces to watch the big tree get lit up and watch the parade.

I will be staying home, staring at my thawed turkey loaf, and being pissy.

You can come to the city, I'll be away.

Your excuse for not going better be a job interview the day before or after Thanksgiving. :mad:

Wow that sucks.

Not in the mood for any bullshit holiday fucking cheer this year. 

Already told everybody it's gonna be an arts and crafts Christmas, so fucked up knitted pot holders for everyone, and the girls get ceramic ashtrays shaped like sombreros.  Fuck it.

Besides, I would miss my cat.

The furby is back...

http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424127887323713104578137213975675602.html

QuoteAlready, Hasbro Inc.'s  refreshed and tech-focused Furby, a doll many observers say has the best chance to be a breakout star this year, is selling out on several retail websites. Online, Wal-Mart has almost completely run out of stock, and several colors can't be purchased on Target's website. Toys "R" Us and Amazon.com Inc.  appear better stocked for now, though more-popular colors on Amazon are selling above the list price.

I have an old one (not sure how I came to acquire it tho) and my kid is terrified by it. It's hilarious.

This will be a Lego Christmas for Tommy.  No idea what to buy for a nearly 2-year old girl :unsure:

Riley loved building blocks at that age. Things she could stack and knock over. Also, undestructible books - think cloth books, crinkle books, plastic-covered books, etc.
Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

Will this Christian oppression never end?   :mad:
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Yeah I got duplo for my niece.  Good for fine motor skills.
