Happy Thanksgiving Movie Poop Shoot!

[MattSinger]

Just wanted to say I continue to be very thankful for this crazy site. So thank you to Chris, Scott, Ming, my fellow contributors, and all denizens of the MPS boards. Hope everyone had a good holiday.

This is one of those days that I wish I lived in America. I want turkey and football.

Anyway, yes. Happy Thanksgiving to those who had one.

This was the first Thanksgiving in ten years I didn't eat a Thanksgiving dinner, which kind of sucked...

Still, I'm thankful for my job, my nice apartment, my nice Jeep, my family and friends, and of course all things Poop.

Hope everyone had a great holiday.

I didn't eat Thanksgiving dinner either... I was sick and slept through it.

[Aaron]

Yeah, to us Thanks Giving just looks like another chance to have Christmas Dinner V2.0

Sorry to hear you were sick RB.

As far as Thanksgiving goes, I did cook a couple of pumpkin pies. The rest of the meal wasn't the norm though. We had steak and mashed potatoes. I cooked squash for me and corn for my daughter since she doesn't like squash. Oh yeah, and we washed it all down with Fanta Orange Soda.

Yeah, I didn't want to have turkey sandwiches for dinner. Guess what I had instead? You'll never guess. We had leftover steak, so I sliced it up and had steak sanwiches....aaaarrrrrgh!!

Leaving my comfy liberal metropolis, venturing through the outskirts, and deep into the land of liquor stores , trailer parks, Baptist churches, Pro-wrestling and Jerry Springer fans, henceforth to be known as , " The Redlands ", I made the 500 mile round trip pilgrimage to see those whom my DNA most closely resembles. I was Hoping to pickup some samples to leave at crime scenes...but whattaya gunnah do ?

To pass the time I made up a new driving game , called " The Finger. " It started - ironically enough - right about the time I passed Crawford. See something you don't like ? Give it the finger. So the rules are pretty simple.

To the stupid fuckin' dumbass in the Caddy, driving 48 mph. in a 70 : The Finger. "There's a shoulder over there as wide the boat you're driving grandpa ! Get the feck outta the way !"
To Roscoe and Eonis for the speeding ticket (74 in a 45): The Finger.
To the entire town of Dawson, and that fuckin' creek! : The Finger. And here's one just for you Van der Beek !
To the mud-covered dooley,with deer horns, where the hood ornament should be, the bass-master bumper sticker, the #8 on the tailgate, aaaaand Calvin pissing ??? Damn right you get The Finger.

... Yet..the slinky brunette in the `98 Mustang with beautiful hair gets the : "How you doin'? " look. Go figure.

Home. Whenever I go here I remember why I stopped coming. I'll spare you all, most, the gory details. Turkey day dinner was pretty much the same as it was three years ago, sisters kids are older , Moms' hair whiter, but of course, it's the same ol' stories about how evil Wal-Mart has become, "it seems there's no low they wont sink to." And someone "caught a 102lb. catfish out'tha lake this summer." And the obligatory, " when are you going to get married/have kids ?" shit. Like I can just wish upon a freaking star or something ?

Friday/Flyday 7:02 a.m.
I'm rusty . I was nervous. And full of gas. Solo in "The Baron". Gaaawwwwd! I needed that !
7:48 a.m.
My sister actually trusts me enough now to let me take her only son up for a spin , trouble is ? He doesn't. With the engines running ( and they were) you can't hear a thing. I pointed at him, pointed at the plane behind him, and then pointed up.

Don't mistake that look for joy, or excitement. That's Fear . Unalderated, pants-pissing FEAR. And he did ( can't blame him, he's seen me fly). Now as sad as it is ; it was that moment when he first reminded me of myself at his age. He was screaming and crying and pissing all over the back seat while I flew over the landscape where I grew up. I remembered this was the place where I went to school, where I learned to ride a bike, where I first kissed a girl, where I learned to fly. Where these DNA connected strangers raised me, counseled me, put up with my bullshit, and somehow - even if I'm almost entirely different from them - made me who I am today.

God bless Family.

Happy (belated) Thanksgiving.

That's a cute photo. So, did he do what every kid does and think it was the greatest fun ever, after you finally landed? /forums/images/icons/smile.gif

[Mighty_Wingman]

Uhhh, no. He hates me now, gave me dirty looks until I left on Saturday.

But we'll get him turned around.
