So what is everyone doing for Thanksgiving?

[Mrbloodworth]

I’m going over to my brothers, we started going there because he has children... For thanksgiving, it think its great, it means he gets to cook, and deal with the mess, for x-mass, it sucks, i want to just walk out in my slippers-of-death and drink coffee and eat coffee cake. But that’s for another thread...

So, what’s everyone else doing for thanks giving?

No, i still don’t know why i make these threads...so just post..

[murdoc]

Thanksgiving was last month.

[Signe]

I don't know why you make these threads, either. 

I'm going to bake Gordon a raspberry pie and watch sports or sommat.  That's it.  Anyway, see you next month.  (in your what is everyone doing for  Christmas thread)


Am I still here?  Good Grief.  I totally wandered off and forgot to finish posting this!

Eating.

[MrHat]

I'm about 100% sure I won't be doing something that I want to be doing, but something that my wife wants to be doing.

[Signe]

Maybe she will make you some crybaby soup!

That's fine as long as I can play XBOX 360 while watching the football while drinking beer while eating pie.

My fiance is cooking her first Thanksgiving dinner and having her folks over. It should be awesome fun considering she's not doing it the way her overly critical father would do it!

 


P.S. I'm still learning the board intricacies. Is green text sarcasm? Because "awesome fun" would totally be in green text if I understand that bit correctly.

I'm going over to my aunt's house with my other relatives on my Mother's side. We usually have a huge dinner and then we watch the Cowboys, which is sweet.

[Samwise]

Dinner with either my mom's side of the family or my dad's side of the family.  I need to make inquiries to find out who misses me more.  Both will have turkey and pie, so I win either way.

I'm going to be on my first vacation in three years  in Paris drinking cheap wine and sampling fine french cuisine like freedom fries and brie.   Or, most likely, being dragged out to a restaurant by the wife and being assraped by the Dollar to Euro exchange rate.

What kind of rig would you have to do all four at once?

Try it and see what happens. Also, it's more fun if some people miss the sarcasm. No... really...

On the Thanksgiving note, we will be celebrating at home with some delicious Tofurkey™ and various home cooked vegan dishes.

Basement:
Sony SXRD w/ PIP
360 w/ Mass Effect
Cable TV w/ NFL
Elite Receiver Surround
Laz-y-boy Reclining Couch
Fuzzy Throw Blanket
Minifridge w/ Shinerbock and Fat Tire
Andy's Homemade Banana Cream Pie and Amy's Homemade Pumpkin Pie

And a god damn fork.

However, I will end up at someone's house pretending to make idle chat about THE WEATHER or THE NEW HOUSE FOR SALE DOWN THE BLOCK or OMG, DID YOU GET A HAIR CUT? instead of the aforementioned awesomeness.

flying home to CA to introduce the lil one to the family. 

[Mrbloodworth]

If you post in here, you have to fill this out.

Dinner with the fam. Will be the first time my parents, and all 3 of us kids will be there for thanksgiving at the same time in years and years.

I will be trading some computer work for my eats though.  Their system needs a complete windows recovery. 

[Margalis]

Going to my sister's near Oberlin. Anything to do in that area?

[geldonyetich2]

(The things I do to burn time while Crysis is installing.)

[Mrbloodworth]

hahahahaha, good stuff.

[Signe]

You can't add rules later on, you know.  It's against the law!

[UD_Delt]

Going to my sister's near Oberlin. Anything to do in that area?

Oberlin Ohio?   Not really much there outside of the College. But you are pretty close to Cleveland where you could do the usual touristy things of going to the Rock Hall or catching a Cavs game. Or if you are a 20-something who like clubs/bars head into Cleveland any time that weekend and head to the warehouse district (West 3rd through West 9th) and hit some bars/clubs there. Lots of young good looking folks in that area...


As for me I'll be spending Thursday at my mother-in-laws where it will be me, my wife, my mother-in-law and some of her friends, which means me (my wife) and 5-6 other women in their 60's. Yeah, not exactly the sport watching type crowd  More the eating cheese and drinking wine type crowd.

Sunday it's over to my parents house for the sports watching, beer drinking, falling asleep on the couch type Thanksgiving dinner. Luckily my folks were willing to do it on Sunday this year so we don't have to do 2 dinners in one day. Although that still wouldn't have been as bad when the father-in-law was in town 2 years ago and we had 3 thanksgiving dinners in one day

My lovely wife will be cooking dinner for my entire family at my mom's house, where we will then retire to the living room to watch football in post-turkoitus afterglow.

[SnakeCharmer]

As my wife's parents are divorced, we'll be bouncing from her mothers side to her fathers side all day long.

My Thanksgiving plans just changed.  Leave the key under the mat, please.  HEY-O!

[murdoc]

Gaming and watching football with PiP is tricky, but quite doable.

[Mrbloodworth]

I will keep this in mind for the future.

[Signe]

And I'm sure you'll ignore it in the future.  I can tell that you are one of those feisty rebellious sorts.

I agree.

I just don't like the idea of post-turkoitus. It makes me think you're fucking a turkey, Haem.

[Jain Zar]

This will be the first Thanksgiving I haven't had to work in 5 or 6 years!  HOODY HOO.

Ill be eating dinner over a friend's house, then hopefully after cleanup we shall play Federation Commander or Squad Leader and little cardboard chits will be moved across a hexagon grid map.
I've asked what to bring, as in pie, cupcakes, or the popular favorite LIQUOR, (What kinda wine goes good with turkey?)  but his wife doesn't know what she needs yet.

My cousin mentioned me eating at his place, but he hasn't said anything yet, and usually eats earlier than I wake up.  And isn't a nerd like me.  Gaming after dinner beats visiting for an hour or two including food then leaving.

(Ill probably go there for Christmas.  He and his dad are coming over monday to take a TV I offered them off my hands for nothing, so if they mention the day of Turkey ill bring up the holiday of consumer suffering.)

Just because you don't understand another culture's traditions doesn't necessarily make them wrong.
