My immediate family is ok, but the extended family is a freakshow. Luckily I'll be at work and making 2x holiday pay, while the holiday overstaffing will more or less ensure I won't have to do any actual work unless some major shit goes down.

We will be having both my brother's and sister's families here, with all four nephews. Both sets of nephews are getting a Wii this Christmas (they don't know it yet, of course); so I will set up mine and introduce them to Wii Sports and Guitar Hero World Tour, avec drums.

Lots of drama this year, can't tell you though!

It'll be one of those awkward Thanksgivings where people are being fake with emotions and walking on eggshells because they don't want to touch the subject at hand, but in reality something's gonna burst and it'll all spiral out of control.

I'll just be hiding in the kitchen

Wife's grandmother had two strokes in 8 days.
Wife's family was coming into town for thanksgiving, and Granny's 90th party.
Disagreements on what Granny wanted and didnt want.
DNR and feeding tubes.
Living Will being argued.
Regular Will being argued.
Thanksgiving dinner being boycotted by half the family, because the other half planned it for a fucking resteraunt.
Birthday party going ahead as planned, in a different town, with Granny still in the hospital and possibly dead by saturday, when the party is sposed to happen.

And I forgot to pull the turkey out the freezer yesterday.

I agree, but there just aren't that many muscles on the back of your arm. But shouldn't a pull-up work mostly your lats? I thought the delts were primarily push muscles.

Yes it works mostly the lats, but the deltoids surround the entire upper arm and on top of that it could also be the teres group which is technically attached to the arm (and could be mistaken for lats).

One of my bosses got the idea today to try and deep fry a turkey in our fryers. I got off work before I had a chance to see how it turned out. When I left he and the sous chef were injecting it with the seasonings or whatever and giggling like little girls.

Tomorrow I will be off on Thanksgiving for the first year in something like 3 years. I am ecstatic.

Hopefully they won't burn down the place trying to fry the turkey. It would suck to not have a job to go back to.

I heard that the turkey turned out a little dry, but I received no confirmation as to whether they actually managed to successfully fry it or if they said fuck it and put it in one of the ovens instead.

I'm going over my aunts to eat. A few cousin's who live in california are visiting because they're going to college in west virginia. One is starting pitcher for WVU baseball. They're both five years younger than me and maybe a foot taller, but they're pretty cool folks.

It's setting up to be a pretty great holiday.

You're not the person I would expect to make the same kind of apostrophe mistake twice at once.

He kills their kids, he kills their wives, he kills their parents and their parents' friends.

He becomes a myth, a spook story that criminals tell their kids at night. 'If you rat on your pop, Keyser Soze will get you.'

thanks for mailing out the package Kal!

oh, and my Thanksgiving, sister in law came home cause her family told her to GTFO, go home and take her kids with her!

brother calls about, oh 2pm, acting like nothing had happened asking if we were coming up. O_o uh, no and dinner was halfway to done here as it was.

so, i'm sure there were fireworks aplenty at his house since mother didn't go over there either.

Cousins should not be a possessive.

Aunt's is an implied possessive - Aunt's place.

[edit] I supposed that 'aunts' might be grammatically correct, but it's an extremely atypical and awkward way of speaking, and I doubt that it was what he was going for.

[edit2] I wasn't trying to be a dick or anything. Maradon normally has such excellent grammar that I was just surprised by the mistake.

My boss deep fried a turkey for us at work too, but if your turkey turned out anything like ours you weren't missing much. Deep friend turkey is just...missing something.

No drama though. My roommates and I bought food from Boston Market and made a meal out of that. Mmm!

Honestly, I think he just wanted to do it to be able to say he had. He's pretty obsessed with frying things in general. If he could fry his favorite pasta dish, he probably would. Actually, scratch that, he probably has.

Seriously. Yesterday I went on a Taco Bell run between shifts and he actually suggested to one of the servers that he deep fry his cheese roll-up so it would be a taquito.

Is it any good? hahaha
