Thanksgiving is about 2 weeks away, so with that in mind, I'm introducing a thread that is sure to cause as much controversy as the Clinton/Bush threads of the past.

What's the best part of the holiday?

Oh that poll is so unfair because it makes us choose between too many great choices!!!!!

Plus you forgot the napping!

Regardless it is my favorite holiday and I'm adding another notch on the belt in preparation and making sure my relax fit jeans are washed and ready to go.

Plus I'm refusing to vote only because I can't decide......and now I'm hungry

Being with family and knowing that the Catholics will be playing football on TV the next day.

WUT

Used to be the food.

Family definitely wins out now.

All of the above, plus a decent bottle of cab or merlot.

when did you become a whiner? So unlike you.

naw go with the room temp. dark ale and the next day at the arena no one will want to stand next to you

As a young Shanty I used to really enjoy the IRC Jamboree at the Miners on Thanksgiving weekend.

Back then it took all day, now it's probably only three games.

Thanksgiving is for football anyways.

And speaking of football, CDH plays the huge, behemouth pagans from Lakeville tonight at Griffin.

CDH got beat last year by a very solid team from Lakeville with a gutsy coach that went for 2 pts after the tying TD. He must be Catholic or at least prays a lot.

The Raiders aim to make the outcome different tonight.

Is there any TV of the football quarters?

I love my family and I love the fact that hockey isn't far off, but how bout the fact that I get two days off paid to eat too much and lay around. I think that takes the cake for me.

GO HERETICS!

Football for sure!

It's time to bring this back to the top of the pile of threads that can be well.. "It's like a nightmare"! But thats another story.

I'd just like to start out by saying, I'm thankful for all the fine posters that make this forum a great break from the work day, and for Mitch and Lee for putting the time in to keep it up and going! ( less the heavy delete finger on the mouse )

So I hope you all have a great time with your families and friends, watching good football (Non-Viking), and eating all the great foods prepared.
May your travels be safe and your long weekend enjoyable

And may your table look like this


And don't forget about those that are less fortunate then we may be!




CNT

Thanks CNT, same to you.

Very well stated CNT. Have a happy beginning to the holiday season.

Amen CNT, may everyone have safe travels and a good holiday.

I too like Thanksgiving the best of all the holidays, the food, hanging out with the family, watching football and it's stress-free--if you're not responsible for cooking the turkey.

It's also the day when Patrick Reusse unveils his Turkey of the Year and this year should be interesting since there are so many candidates.

Ditto to you CNT, and all other worthwhile posters of this bored.

See, PB. Some people have something to give thanks for.

It's not all a nightmare.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL.

Anybody willing to take wagers on whose family gets pissed at them for posting on the bored tomorrow instead of spending time with the family?

I should have made that the poll instead.

Thanksgiving '07
1) Eat a big meal tonight. You are going to want to stretch out that stomach lining real good.
2) Be sure to get a good helping of fiber today.
3) Eat a big breakfast tomorrow morning, a common mistake by even the best eaters is to purge yourself before the big event. Keeping that stomach stretched out is imperative for mass consumption subsequent comfort.
4) If alcohol is in the equation go with stiff mixed drinks, this is a day where beer's volume and carbonation can't get in the way.

Leave it to Shanty to deliver a PSA.

Excellent advice IS.

Eats easy to see that you are a veteran Turkeryday guy who knows how to get it done.

I guess ole puckster is right. I need to take a break from all of this negativity.

ILaN can rest for a few days during this joyous holiday that people should observe primarily by reflecting on how good thay have it ..............and how bad it is to be a Democrat.

Have a good one all!!

So right IS
This is also good for Inlawitis...a common irritation that takes place shortly after the meal but before the nap!

Leave it to a Republican to be a turkey. Go figure.

One word Govs:

HILLARY!!!!


Talk about a Turkey.
