The Happy Thanksgiving Thread!

Yadda yadda turkey blah blah family and all that. I had the typical Thanksgiving stuff going on, but we aren't content to just leave it at that in my family. We have our annual fire. And I'm not talking about some sissy campfire either. Now it was a little disappointing that we didn't have snow this year, so naturally we had to make up for it. So we had TWO fires. Our logic is flawless!

Fire #1 went pretty fast. It was already dying out by the time we got some cameras.

As Fire #2 went up, I was a bit slow to come to the conclusion that Fire is Hot.

I suppose we could use a sense of scale here.

So how about all of you? Was Thanksgiving decidedly awesome? Or was it too long ago to remember? (silly Canada)

    holy shit, I was gonna argue, but I really can't now.

    we should probably move this to the SCIENCE! forum, I'm pretty sure really big fires count as SCIENCE!

    F-f-f-FIRE. Man that looks like a lot of fun. It should be "daily fire" instead of "annual fire".

    Oh my god, I wish I lived in a less urban area and a less tree covered state, just so I could do that.

    On a related note...

    That's what your family does for Thanksgiving, X? What happens on the 4th of July?

    Quite conversly, almost nothing. My parents have been going on vacation over the 4th for the last few years, so the family doesn't really do much of anything.

    You know, I was going to try and argue that, but then I saw the pictures. Congratulations, your family is awesome.

    How about inviting some Orange Beltians next year for the massive fire?

    I had delicious turkey! And stuffing, and mashed potatoes, and baked potatoes, and steaks, and sushi, and ham, and apple pie, and pumpkin pie! It was buffet. It was so delicious.

    We did not have our fire. It's too windy. It wouldn't be safe. Oh well, another day perhaps. The fixins are there.

    Yummy food was to be had still. Pie is good. And I played through Cave Story again. I still fail at Ballos. :(

    Happy Black Friday! WHY OH WHY DID I TAKE A RETAIL JOB THIS IS GOING TO DESTROY ME

    Thanksgiving was pretty great though! I got my mom to watch Dr. Horrible, and she enjoyed it just like I thought she would.

    We ate our Thanksgiving feast today, Friday, because my grandmother got back from the hospital today, Friday, and we are thankful for that.

    Hope everyone's enjoying their Thanksgiving dinners slash days off from work slash listening to Americans constantly talk online about a holiday they don't observe. I had two excellent turkey-based meals at my families' various gatherings. Glad to see my somewhat ailing grandmother at one of them; she often doesn't attend these gatherings and I don't know how many more years she'll be around to have the option, so it was nice having her there.

    I just wanted to say how grateful I am for this community. Though our post frequency has lowered over time and there isn't always a great deal going on here, it still makes me happy when I sign on every night to see what people have posted (even when I'm just cleaning up spambot posts ^__^). I'm grateful for all the friendships I've made here and on Inksandwich. Have a great weekend, and try not to get trampled to death on Black Friday!

    I was driving home from my thanksgiving dinner, and I saw the parking lot at Wal-Mart.

    Friends, I have seen the face of hell, and it is Wal-Mart on Black Friday. It was like a death metal concert with soccer moms instead of people who have given up on life.

    Although, I suppose the only difference is a higher number of sweater vests.

    We had food. And then there was fire. The good kind of fire. Got the family all together and we played in the snow a bit and hung around the big fire being all social and stuff. Makes Thanksgiving a bit more interesting around these parts.
