Same plans as every year.
Family, turkey, football, napping on couch.
Although in college everyone would come back home and meet up at the bar.
Ah good times.
Yeah Wednesday should be a pretty good night around town, for high school reunions sake.
i’m thankful for turkey
godbless your soul turkey, for we massacre millions of u this time of year, keep procreating turkey as I wish to be thankful once again next year
Here is the bar that everyone USED to meet up at. It was toasted in May of this year. Arson. 1 guy died saving everyone else.
Turkey, turkey, turkey!!
We had a bar in town that all the locals went to during holidays as well. Once the college crowd clears out, it’s like a freaking highschool reunion. Everybody you’ve known for most of your life is there. I haven’t been in 2 or 3 years, but it was always alot of fun. Of course it closed down early this year because nobody ever went there anymore…except during the holidays. RIP to Bottchers!
Tgiving plans are pretty mellow. My brother is at Marine bootcamp and my sister is with her new husband’s family, so it’s just going to be my daughter and my parents. I’m attempting to cook my first dressing, so crossing my fingers! We usually go see a movie on thanksgiving. I can’t wait to see August Rush, so hopefully I’ll catch that and my break won’t be a complete and total waste.
I couldn’t resist doing a show on the biggest bar night of the year. After that its all about hanging out with the fam.
Flying to Colorado today, shop at whole foods for dank turkey fixins tommorow (my sis just had a baby so t-dinner is all on me this year), skiing @ A-Basin on friday and beat the rush flying home on Saturday…best holiday of the year
I am going to the Green Bay vs. Detroit game.
LET’S GO LIONS!!!
Then my dad and I are going to someplace for Dinn dinn.
Then I’m going to my mom’s house and we are going to my aunts later that night.
Have Happy Turkey Days everyone!!!
I don’t have tickets but me and my brother were going to go downtown and try to scalp us some seats to the game…but then he chickened out. I tell you…once people get older they don’t want to do ANYTHING adventurous anymore. No one goes to concerts, no one goes to sporting events, no one does anything.
In the meantime I’ll be at Roger’s Roost with my parents and catching the game on the TVs there. GOOOOOO LIIOOOONNNSS!!!
Stevo
Ahem,
If I ever say or think I’m too old to scalp tickets, well, I hope someone punches me in the face. Hard.
Ahem?
And by not being adventurous, I mean he didn’t have the balls to drive downtown with the off-chance that maybe we won’t be able to score any tickets. WIMP!! Oh well…Go Lions anyway.
And yes…dark meat rules all over white meat. White meat is dry and crappy and tasteless. All hail the darks.

You guys gotta quit smoking so much pot. Thanksgiving was over a month ago. You missed it.
GO CRACK!!!
HIT THAT ROCK!!!
HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!!!
CAN’T WAIT FOR FLAG DAY!!!
I’m working.
Screw this, I hate everyone.
::runs off crying::
I’m not a big fan of thanksgiving. I’m trying to cut down on what I eat, and therefore I’m not a big fan of the idea of stuffing my face with food I don’t care for. I also dislike sitting around in awkward family circles; that’s why I hide in my room and make maps for Unreal Tournament.
^Kind of felt the same way as you do about the holidays, and other cultural ceremonies when I was your age Ax, so I can’t blame you one bit. Still get that way about a lot of social functions that just seem like so much bullshit, where no real interaction between people is ever happening.
But these things are all about what WE choose to make of them, ya know? And I’ve found over the years, that I seem to be much happier if I let em happen, and find my balance within them. Once in a while, you make a contact for a brief moment, or learn something startlingly different about someone or something. It’s truly amazing when you open the door sometimes, what comes in.
So Happy Thanksgiving my OhKeepa family. Here’s a little glimpse into a small bit of what it’s been about so far:
Happy Thanksgiving everyone.
Just got home actually…had to bail from the gal’s so she wouldn’t have to explain me to her family coming over in an hour, haha. So now I’m at home, ashamed and embarrassed, gonna try and sleep off this hangover for 4 or 5 more hours before work.
So have a good holiday everyone.
And that turkey looks absolutely disgusting, fone. I’m sure it’ll look better once cooked.
Don’t listen to him Bill, that Turkey looks quite impressive.
To change the pace of this thread a bit, why not everyone go around and say some of the things they are thankful for this year.
Even though Canadian Thanksgiving is the second sunday in October, I’ll start.
This year I’m most thankful for my friends, especially the ones that I’ve got to experience some great events with (ie, Ween last weekend, and 10KLF this past summer). I’m also feeling thankful for the fact that I get to come to work everyday with people I don’t mind being around and doing a job that isn’t as bad as what a lot of people across this world are subjected to, in terms of slave labour and sweat shops and just jobs that don’t allow you any kind of personal freedom. I’m thankful that my family is all in good health and even though I’m a little under the weather, my health has held up for yet another year. Lastly, I’m thankful that I have a place like the Oh Kee Pa to share these thoughts on American thanksgiving since everyone in Canada would think I’m crazy for saying stuff like this in the middle of November.
