We could do what lesser thinkers do on this day and spew forth a litany of things for which we're thankful. Since lesser thinkers are almost always harder workers, that option's never really on the table for us. Instead, we offer a clip-filled but no less hearty thanks for one of our favorite things: rock babes. We're very thankful for them.
The Joy Formidable's Ritzy Bryan is a pixie with a giant voice.
Cat Power is still Cat Power.
Aimee Mann hasn't lost her fastball. Nor has John Hodgman.
The Dum Dum Girls are a modern day Hole with better hygiene.
Dessa'a gift for Mark, and for the rest of us.
And for good measure, the reigning champion, Neko Case.
UNNECESSARY EDITOR'S NOTE: rob beat me to the the Thanksgiving Day post, which is fine, because mine was simply going to contain this epic television sitcom clip:

cat power, 'ruin'. dum dum girls, 'lord knows'.
Salute to Andy roddick on the tennis channel -- old matches taped in non-HD are shockingly fuzzy.
so are my balls
Fuzzy Dunlop?
indeed
we're at the beach for the holiday. guy next door just lit up a huge doob. excellent smells in our house. kids are suddenly really mellow.
That's something to give thanks for.
I just got an email from Mr. Skin wishing me a Happy Spanksgiving and giving me three free hours of full website access. Awesome.
I'm really excited to see the team I root for on Thanksgiving. I say right now that it doesn't happen often enough. I may change my mind in 5 hours or less.
Clarence, I assume the first search on Mr. Skin you would do would be Heather Graham. Or perhaps Ann Hesche.
Bea Arthur?
In other news, I am bombarded with emails trying to get me to buy stuff tomorrow. If you or someone on your list needs a new tennis racquet, the surgical instrument that goes by the unfortunate name of Head Youtek IG Speed Mid Plus 18X20 is finally on sale at Tennis Warehouse. If you have the means I highly recommend picking one up. It is so choice.
My friends and I play football every Thanksgiving morning. Until last year that is. And this year. After over a decade our Turkey Bowl is now officially dead. But our post Turkey bowl drinking at a local dive lives on. So now we just skip football and meet at 11(ish) for beers. Priorities, folks.
the beer is flowing like wine. the salmon are flocking. dangerously close to the tipping point.

A neighbor and i finished a bottle of woodford by 130....from last year but modified slightly..
Over ice...
Soy milk almond flavored (just fucking trust me)
Honey- a couple of teaspoons..
A dash of vanilla or almond extract
Bourbon - your choice....mix that shit up...pour
"Up" in a rocks glass
Call me in 2 hours
I'm going over to my sister's house for Thanksgiving. Apparently her boyfriend has wrapped the turkey in bacon. I'm really starting to like my sister's boyfriend.
the pee was clear that day, my friends
Constanza's whale story takes a drug test.
another hour or so and i'll start telling you how i really feel about my wife's family
My grandmother just announce that she wants to take up golf. She's 89.
White wine -> beer -> Irish coffee -> whiskey. Feeling fat and bloated at the moment, but the spirits are making it all okay.
sadly lacking in spirits here. might be a problem.
Rob/Clarence: You guys familiar with Nicole Atkins? Talented singer/songwriter from the Jersey Shore. Great voice, easy on the eyes in a dirty kinda way. A sultrier Feist. Check her out.
rob, did you get a cut rate at the jersey shore?
read that as cute rat. was very drunkenly confused for a bit.
your skins are gonna make this interesting, aren't they?
man, griffin is a tough motherfucker
And a sexy motherfucker to boot.
Sixpoint Sweet Action redeems the day for me.
Because my sister lives 20-30 minutes away I had to monitor my consumption and limit myself to a few beers. But we're home now so it's time to drink whiskey. Enough whiskey that the plate full of desserts I brought home (brownie pie, pumpkin pie, pumpkin spice cookies with cream cheese frosting, blackberry cobbler and apple pie) will all disappear by night's end.
Happy Thanksgiving.
some top notch family drama happening in this joint right now. top. notch.
Does it involve your Elmo jokes?
Oh man. I never get that during my holidays. I want details.
Tom Brady's uncomfortable dainty approach to holding and eating a drumstick is a stark contrast to Vince Wilfork's joyful barbarism.
HBO Doc "Magic & Bird" on NBATV right now. Good times.
Agreed. Brady looked like he didn't know what to do with his turkey leg after the obligatory first bite. He dropped 50 for my fantasy team though, so I'm okay with it.
i feel like someone (his wife) got to rob before he could spill the beans on the family drama...
discretion got the better of me. but it was a doozy. i'll work up an allegorical treatment and have dave review it.
just make all the characters zombies and then have them say exactly what they said, verbatim.
Thankful for an outstanding Turkey Day. I was told that the keg of St. George's Summer Ale in the future in-laws' kegerator needed finishing so that they could get something more seasonal. Took that assignment pretty seriously.
Mustaches were handed out upon arrival. Most of the men and a few of the women among the 19 adults around the dinner table sported staches.
50 degrees and sunny, perfect weather . . . for drinking inside. Beer and red wine at dinner, Jameson and pumpkin pie for dessert. The friend of ours who always gets loaded and passes out after histrionics let us down by minding her manners and staying upright, but otherwise it was an ideal Thanksgiving.
Oh, and the Skins beat the Cowboys in Dallas. That was worth a few slugs of beer, wine, and whiskey.
