    Mmm. Delicious, delicious genocide.

    2. Do you have any Thanksgiving traditions?

    Well, It was spending it with lots of family, but thats isn’t going to happen this year. I guess its making lots of tasty foods centered around a dead bird, and having way too many left-overs

    3. Who do you celebrate Thanksgiving with?

    This year, it’ll be with Devon, Fifi, the Lemur and all of the Lemur’s babies mamas.

    4. What are you thankful for?

    Fifi’s health, the love of my husband, my family and my friends. A car that doesn’t break down. And that those cops never pressed charges. ;)

    5. What is your favorite Thanksgiving food?

    Pies. Mashed potatoes and sweet potatoes.

    6. Ever eaten to-furkey (tofu-turkey)?

    No, but I’d give it a try if I ever had the chance. I bet its pretty gross though.

    7. Have you ever jumped into a pile of leaves? If so, when was the last time?

    Yes. Probably the last time was back in high school.

    8. What’s in your cornucopia?

    You wish you knew.

    9. What is your preference? Being over heated, or being cold?

    I’d definitely rather be overheated. Unfortunately I’m usually freezing instead.

    10. Do you decorate for the holidays?

    Do rotting jack-o-lanterns from Halloween count? Actually we just threw those away last week, finally. Other than that, or the occasional bouquet of flowers, no.

    Sure, although my friend Moonanum James, leader of UAI, would probably not

    2. Do you have any Thanksgiving traditions?
    Turkey and football, baby!

    3. Who do you celebrate Thanksgiving with?
    family – whether in person or by phone ;-)

    4. What are you thankful for?
    Surviving 2006

    5. What is your favorite Thanksgiving food?
    Probably turkey gravy…..

    6. Ever eaten to-furkey (tofu-turkey)?
    Nope, but I’ve eaten a vegetarian Thanksgiving dinner – quite disappointing

    7. Have you ever jumped into a pile of leaves? If so, when was the last time?
    Sunday ;-)

    8. What’s in your cornucopia?
    A beautiful family ;-)

    9. What is your preference? Being over heated, or being cold?
    Definitely overheated

    10. Do you decorate for the holidays?
    We usually just put up the basics – laser light show and tree. However this year I’m feeling more inspired to decorate. Probably won’t last though.

    1. Thanksgiving is a holiday that celebrates Native American genocide by committing it again against turkeys. Yes or no?
    A: Wikipedia defines genocide as “any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial or religious group”…. It doesn’t seem to me that TURKEYS qualify as any of those, though there are a few religious groups that are headed up by some turkeys… ;-) Answer: NO.

    2. Do you have any Thanksgiving traditions?
    A: Holiday breakfast (eggs benedict), watching the parades on TV(at least in part), watching football, groaning after eating too much. Recent Thanksgivings have been celebrated with a Chateau Pibarnon Bandol wine.

    3. Who do you celebrate Thanksgiving with?
    A: Family and friends….it varies from year to year based on our whims, who’s available, and the situation…anywhere from 2-20 people usually.

    4. What are you thankful for?
    A: The best wife and kids in the world, good health, a good job, good friends (which are hard to find) and still having fresh chard, parsley and arugula in our garden despite the temperature being in the 20′s the last two nights.

    5. What is your favorite Thanksgiving food?
    A: Three things that I don’t get to eat very often:
    i. Pies
    ii. whole cranberry sauce
    iii. sweet potatoes

    6. Ever eaten to-furkey (tofu-turkey)?
    A: No. I’m semi-intrigued though…

    7. Have you ever jumped into a pile of leaves? If so, when was the last time?
    A: Yes, many times in my youth. As for when, I refuse to answer on the grounds that I might “incrimidate” myself. ;-)

    8. What’s in your cornucopia?
    A: Nothing rather exciting this year… parsley, chard, arugula.

    9. What is your preference? Being over heated, or being cold?
    A: Geez, why can’t I be comfortable? ;-) I’d probably rather be cold…you can always put on a heavier shirt, sweater or coat….but you can’t go the other way…and still be socially acceptable at least. ;-)

    10. Do you decorate for the holidays?
    A: I think there’s a federal law that says all adult men must put up Christmas decorations beginning on the weekend after Thanksgiving. I usually try to go for something understated and tasteful….mainly because I’m lazy. Certainly nothing like the “castle” in JP. You can see THAT about halfway down the page at :

    1. Thanksgiving is a holiday that celebrates Native American genocide by committing it again against turkeys. Yes or no?
    Those turkeys totally have it coming…

    2. Do you have any Thanksgiving traditions?
    Homemade bread, food, family, full bellies.

    3. Who do you celebrate Thanksgiving with?
    My wonderful wife, my plump iguana, and my lazy lemur.

    4. What are you thankful for?
    My wife, my life. I’m pretty blessed and very thankful for all of it.

    5. What is your favorite Thanksgiving food?
    Pumpkin Pie and homemade bread.

    6. Ever eaten to-furkey (tofu-turkey)?
    Nope. After a misadventure with a tofu cheesecake, I think I’ll pass.

    7. Have you ever jumped into a pile of leaves? If so, when was the last time?
    Yes, although it was probably years ago in Vermont.

    8. What’s in your cornucopia?
    I haven’t hollowed it out yet, so it’s still 100% goat horn.

    9. What is your preference? Being over heated, or being cold?
    Being cold. Then you can dress warm, have a nice fire, drink some tea, etc… When it’s too hot, there’s nothing you can do but perspire.

    10. Do you decorate for the holidays?
    If you call it that. Usually it’s my wife directing me to climb a rotten ladder, whose bottom half is on fire, balanced on one leg over a ravine filled with hungry wolves with crossbows. It’s a decorate or die scenario.

    Hey! That was only one time, 3 years ago.. Plus, the hungry wolves were only armed with BB-Guns.

    Luckily our house is only 1 level this year.

  6. Telgator1 says:

    Geez…now I have something more to be thankful for:
    a. my ladder is aluminum, thus not rotting
    b. aluminum can’t catch on fire….easily at least
    c. our ravine seems to have a bunch of hungry chipmunks, but no wolves so far
    d. the chippies only throw dirt at us….plus even if they had crossbows, they’d be very tiny ones….
