GTB's Annual Thanksgiving Tradition

Some year we should figure out what GTBer is Les Nessman, or Venus Flytrap, or The Big Guy (we already know Marls is Herb Tarlek)... but until we do that, let's all just enjoy the greatest Thanksgiving-themed TV episode of all time:

 

OK, two vintage ads I think we will enjoy, and of course, Orenthal:

I think TR would be a great Herb Tarlek. Unfortunately my hairline may make me more of an Arthur Carlson.

i busted out this episode's punch line on a work call this morning. pretty, pretty good.

the soccer club i volunteer with hosted a first-ever day before thanksgiving flag football tournament for the kids on our teams. it was a blast. such a joyous morning for the kid.

Mark said...

My friends and I used to play a flag football game each Thanksgiving morning. Followed by beers at a local bar. Sadly, that longstanding tradition (20 ish years) died off 4-5 years ago.

To Rob's point about Gonzaga, they're really really good. I turned off the UCLA game at halftime.

rob said...

not only are they really good, they're deep, too. dudes all the way down.

Turtles all the way down.

Whitney said...

I’m thankful for a lot. This forum and all you suckers rank way up high on that list.

My old man is having emergency appendectomy surgery today. Thankful it wasn’t worse!

rootsminer said...

Mark said...

Truly thankful for this place. Given me a bunch of new friends, some of whom I still haven't met. Happy Thanksgiving Gheorghies!

zman said...

This is the point of the day every Thanksgiving where I am thankful for my high-end toilet.

Mark said...

I’m thankful that the Egg Bowl is on tonight. I plan to drink too much, eat some desserts and revel in some old SEC hate.

Whitney said...

Thanks, Rootsy. He came through with flying colors and is already back home.

I like Mark’s plan.

Whitney said...

Raiders-Cowboys referees: we get it. You like screen time.

OBX dave said...

I can see a 42-38 Egg Bowl with Leach and Kiffin catching each other's eyes across the field after an especially imaginative play call and giving a nod and a point.

Biggest surprise of tgives occurred when zmother saw the new Matrix commercial and said “He should make another John Wick movie, I love those.”

Mark said...

Zmother is a hip, hip lady.
