    Dang. Greg. Get all that other crap outta the way and pile the turkey high!!!

    Lorax... at least go out and eat a hamburger or something else of their sacred beef. Piss 'em all off and tell them it's a relative of theirs and mmmmmm.. do they taste good!

    OK.. I don't play well with others.. so maybe don't listen to me.

    Try your hardest to be the kind of person your dog thinks you are.

    You can live to be 100, as long as you give up everything that would make you want to live to be 100!

      Yup, that's why you have to eat at the card table in the other room.

      You get the neck and if you behave yourself we'll save you some fruit salad.

        Every year for the past 29 years I find that the number one thing I am thankful for is my wife. I can't even imagine how empty life would be without her next to me. Thank you Debora, for saying yes.

          I am thankful for my wife and kids, that goes without saying, but I am really thankful for The Gang. You all know who you are. Thanks.

            Thinking of it, I really have a bunch to be thankful for. I have gotten to know friends this past year that will be friends for life. My wife has stuck with me through thick and thin, when a lesser woman would have ran for the hills. My kids are all healthy.

            That and I have a new superpower, I can kill any vehicle in less than a year of ownership.

              I've got a 93 ford tempo that I bought at a yard sale for $125 that refuses to die.

              My sons girlfriend drove it with a broken serpenine belt until it overheated enough to blow the radiator up----it's still going.

              Loaned it to my f**ked up ex wife and she bounced it off of a couple PARKED cars----it's still going.

              My 18 year old nephew is currently driving it----it's still going.

              Check the newspaper for yard sales.

                A 93 tempo eh? Those things were pretty near bullet proof. Only thing I ever fixed on one was a heater core. Strangely enough the Aspire was the same way, bullet proof. Maybe its because they were made by Mazda, just like the Rangers, which were also...well, you get the idea.

                Forgot to add, I am thankful for my Neon being built right. Hitting a solid object at 70 mph and walking away is a pretty amazing testament to it.

                Oh, and Cap'n Morgan. I am thankful for that too.

                  Hey Matt, maybe have a belated dinner when you get home? We'll be thinking of you... say hi to all of the people we talk to on the phone when we call customer service...

                  That is very cool...

                  (and if anyone says anything different... they're just jealous... or their wife isn't reading over their shoulder)

                  Amen to that, Russ...

                  I'm incredibly thankful for my Mom's renewed strength, since a couple of weeks ago, we didn't think she would even be here for Thanksgiving... Thankful for an awesome family (a wonderful husband and truly outstanding kids) and a great group of friends who never treated me like I was slowing them down (even when I was) and were patient enough to let me ride with them until my confidence built up to above normal levels... "cause to ride with these guys... it HAD to be...

                    Thanks for the thoughts guys, I am about two hours into country, staying in a hotel for the night, leaving for Bokaro city in the am. In the meantime, greetings from warm and cheerful New Delhi

                    I know I look thrilled to be alive, but after 15 hours in a plane without tobacco products, anyone would be out of sorts. have a nice day and ride safe

                                I'm thankful that this Thanksgiving (actually the Sat after) I'll get to see Arlo Guthrie at Carnegie Hall. Wow.
