Title: Happy Thanksgiving!
Post by: bbmike on November 22, 2017, 04:21:50 PM
A bit early, but if the Friday thread can do it so can this one. Besides, dinner prep is well under way here.

Happy Thanksgiving fellow Grogheads!
<:-)

And if you don't celebrate Thanksgiving where you are have a great Thursday anyway!  :clap:

Let us sup on bird flesh, drink strong spirits and give thanks for the defeat of our enemies as we revel in their pathetic mewling that echoes like songs from their burning cities. 

Rejoice!   <:-)

I hope everyone has a great day and it won't bother me at all if we don't see any of you guys on the forums tomorrow. Then again knowing the family some of your dealing with, I fully expect to see if you have you there all day :)

MD -right at Noontime EST click this link: http://www.wplr.com/ and click 'listen live' to get a little reminder of Thanksgiving in Southern New England. If you miss it you might be able to catch it again at 6PM EST.

IIRC, it's been 6AM, Noon, 6 PM for a while now.

but I figured that hearing it 'live' (so to speak) was more special than clicking on a youtube link during the day at ones own convenience.

There's a reason that song drives me nuts

of course, they also had a band from Buffalo, NY on a float celebrating Hawaii, so irony was clearly not their strong suit

Glad she could go to the Macy's Parade.  My wife has always wanted to go to the Rose Parade.

Me, had 7 guys for poker yesterday and frying turkeys. 
Thanksgiving - just me and the dog pack.  My wife drove to NC to cook for her relatives.  I chose to stay home.

Tomorrow - AU men's basketball.

Saturday - Iron Bowl.

I just returned from my daughter's husband's family.  Gawd, I ate a lot.  Then I ate some more.  Then came more dessert.

I actually watched some NFL football.  First time since last year when I was at their house for Thanksgiving.  I was catatonic after eating all the food, so I just sat there and stared blankly at the TV.
