I have a few families who have invited me to their beast feast. I'd much rather be at work.
Thanksgiving is a pretty gross holiday, if you ask me. It's not that I am against the food, itself - I'm not that much of an oversensitive snob... all of the time - its just that it honours traditions that everyone seems really quite oblivious to. And no, I'm not talking about violence against the natives. I mean, really, thanksgiving is a time for cultivating and celebrating your bountiful harvest... nobody harvests anymore. People go to the store and 'harvest' all manners of processed foodstuffs and then gorge on it all day long while the people who actually did all the harvesting get to suffer a long ways away.
I don't hold illusions that I am 'solving' some sort of world problem by objecting to the holiday, but it's hard to garner an appetite with rich ing families who so firmly hold that they 'worked hard for this'. I dunno, just my personal reasons.
Man, Thanksgiving threads make me miss francetuckers. |

Back when I was picking beans in Guatemala, we used to make fresh coffee, right off the trees I mean. That was good. This is but, hey, I'm in a police station. |

You should appreciate your family (for whatever they are) while you still have them. I think thats important. Spending time with your crunk ass ghetto sister and your terrible aunts and uncles builds character.
I vote family. |

"Im so thankful to be around all these superficial self-obsessed DJs and producers that dont give a about me in the long run!" |

| Whoever would show up at your hospital bed if you ever were in a coma are the people you should spend thanksgiving with. |
