Here a a few Thanksgiving clips you can watch while avoiding political debate with uncle Ed.
First up is Alf helping host the 1989 Thanksgiving day parade. Watch everyone’s favorite Melmacian talk about the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band and make jokes about Ishtar and Willard Scott’s weight.
Staying in the 80’s, we have a very Cheers-y Thanksgiving. Rob and I are planning on recreating this for his in-laws enjoyment.
And finally, the Thanksgiving clip that needs no introduction:

I’m also thankful for Bailey Quarters.
danimal, we've tried both hello fresh and blue apron. i find the hello fresh recipes to be much less complicated. good variety, generally fresh produce (with the occasional exception). i'd rate it a decent value for the money, but you've got to make sure you have time each week to make the meals. my wife likes 3x, but i'd prefer 2x.
We did Blue Apron and liked it but ran out of enthusiasm after about a year. Their chicken is affirmatively bad so expect to buy your own chicken when they send you chicken dishes.
Don’t do Blue Apron unless you have a lot of faith in your wife’s cooking. Recipes require a modicum of cooking proficiency.
Family turkey day gathering at my sister's in Wayne, PA. Morning football with cousins, daughters, niece and nephew. Jerseys represented on the field were Eli Manning, Tony Romo, Dak Prescott, John Riggins, Darrell Green, Al Toon, Wayne Chrebet, and Freeman McNeil. In Eagles country. Dudes walking by stopped and shook heads in wtf manner.
My team proved victorious. More important was that I wasn't hurt. We had one concussion, one cut head, one popped hamstring. Too old for this. Hot shower and cold drink forthcoming.
Happy day, peeps. Thankful AF for you clowns.
that's not sexist at all, tr
yikes-- the new whit lean and mean, delivering concussions!
i have to make brussel sprouts and bacon and i'm stalling.
It’s a fact Jake. My wife can’t cook. Not sexist.
it hurts me that you think that i can't cook, tr. hurts a lot.
Wasn’t inferring that at all in any posts. Not sure where you got that from, ungrateful fool.
We should've left rob in a Chinese prison.
Table banter included a long discussion about zfather in laws friend Mike Firestone and his gangrenous gall bladder. For those scoring at home he had it removed, fingers crossed that the gangrene didn't spread. Now please pass the broccoli casserole.
I’m at a neighbor’s house. Thy have no TV! How did my wife agree to this!? One more reason not to ever do a home reno.
zmother in law is five and a half seasons into Game of Thrones and has no idea what's going on so zwoman is explaining it to her. The response: "You should call Rutgers and get them to let you teach a course in this!" She is dead serious.
Note that TR declined an invitation to eat at my house, which has a TV.
Having Gheorghgiving at chateau Squirrel. Food is good, cocktails are great, conversation is better.
we had a spirited discussion of prongles, then marls set about trying to find some online.
I think I just saw a Samsung chrome book ad with a King Khan and the BBQ Show song. That's a stunningly obscure pull for a Thanksgiving TV ad.
Happy Thanksgiving, Gheorghies. It’s been a very busy day. I tried to comment three separate times before being interrupted.
I did manage to get a good morning lift in and run three miles. Then I came home and my wife and I grounded the ever loving shit out of our 16 year old. Things got a little better from there.
My whole family was in town so we ate a ton (12 pies, 4 other types of desserts, 3 stuffings, all the other normal sides and turkey and smoked chicken wings), drank more than we should. We also just found out my nephew (who’s not been feeling well all day) puked in the living room soon after we left my parents house. So I stripped down my kid and put her in the bath.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Also, Nick Fitzgerald just snapped his leg inthe Egg Bowl. Gruesome.
“Grounding the ever loving shit” out of the 16 year old sure sounds post worthy.
Half drunk and feeling fatter than a 1st grade pencil. Would love to hear Marls and Rob discuss the pro’s and con’s of Trump.
Apparently Fitzgerald didn’t snap his leg. So he’s got that going for him.
I took a break from drinking and have started back up again. Gonna carve out some room for late(ish) night stuffing.
My brother in law made the turkeys today. And he saved the turkey necks just for me. That’s love.
with regards to danimal's desire above, marls and i tried hard to figure out whether trump had any actual pros. we were unsuccessful. we did drink quite a bit of bulleit and a bottle of caymus, which was fucking outstanding. we had a lengthy conversation about how much democrats suck, which culminated in me being unable to list any great 2020 presidential candidates. thankfully, we have time. if the party will resolve to stop sucking. but trump sucks. of that we remain convinced. we're also convinced of the excellence of mrs. marls' green bean brussels sprouts casserole. that shit was dope.
I’m not much for green beans or brussel sprouts but I love Mrs. Marls so I’m betting that casserole is a champ.
The pathicness of the Democratic Party is a (somehow) underrated story. A fucking shit show if there ever was one.
My (other) brother in law brought large bacon bits for dinner. I put them in (multiple) servings of mashed potatoes. Fucking delicious.
Dem 2020 has to be a renegade type who can challenge Trump for non-politician and f-the-system stride for stride while also taking us back to a place where facts and news are real.
I vote Stallone.
The green bean Brussels sprout casserole had bacon crumbled on top with homemade Parmesan shallot cream sauce. Dope indeed.
Zman and I had a mini-reunion w/ Dr J. Went way late and we will all pay tmrw.
I've been saying this for months, Chris Murphy in 2020.
Else it's Spector/sanders.
Jordan Spector/Barry Sanders - progress is their middle name.
Arlen Spector/Sarah Huckabee Sanders.
