A Very Gheorghie Thanksgiving

The Teej is in Curacao, not feeling blue, so it's on us to keep one of the Gheorghiest traditions alive. 

Happy Thanksgiving, friends. As the years pass, I'm increasingly thankful for all y'all and our little interweb cubicle.

  1. thankful for all the usual, but also for andrew hickey and his absurdly comprehensive podcast "A History of Rock Music in 500 Songs"-- he's finally gotten to led zeppelin! robert plant was in so many absurdly named bands before led zeppelin it makes spinal tap seem realistic.

    does anyone else listen to this insanity? i only do it occasionally. . .

  5. black out wednesday seems to a universal term among the youths. my kids celebrated it yesterday, as well, though my little one did it as a designated driver since she’s two days removed from wisdom teeth extraction.

  6. apparently my sister-in-law wrote the essays for one of my nephews’ college applications. she’s trying to defend herself from our allegations of fraud. it’s going amusingly. one of the schools is w&m, so I’m going hard on the honor code violation angle.

  7. I, for one, applaud the use of a human being to subvert the system rather than artificial intelligence. Traditional fraud rather than cutting edge tech cheatery.

  8. The rare violation committed before the application was submitted. It’s sad that that type of thing is probably extremely common these days.

  9. TFW you plan to test the potency of two of a new batch of homemade gummies, then discover a third that dropped onto the floor, so you have to dust it off and eat it quickly.

  11. Aw, damnit. Sorry to hear that, Mark.

    My kid’s ballet company had dinner last night at a closed dc restaurant that they hired to feed their group.

    I don’t think it was pre arranged in any way, but they ended up opening the table to Patti Smith and her people.
