Thanksgiving 2014 : The Fattening

[Kara]

Welp I'm healthy enough to have gone camping if I'd known I was going to be healthy enough to go camping and done my prep work.

Going to drink like it pays minimum wage tonight.

[Himu]

You celebrate thanksgiving? Aren't you a communist?

[toku]

all these carbs bruh

[Himu]

This will be my last thanksgiving with extended family for a long time, probably ever. this is my family's first exposure to the real me. My boyfriend is working and frankly, I need him right now. Half of the people I've known since birth aren't talking to me or are uncomfortable talking to me. I think I may skip Christmas this year.

I know that I'm supposed to be feel thankful and shit, and being moody is making me into a grouch,  but I'm not feeling very thankful towards anything right now. Not only do I have to deal with being black in a world that hates me, now I have to deal with family that thinks I'm a dirty cheeseburger.

Man sagt mir: Iß und trink du! Sei froh, daß du hast!
Aber wie kann ich essen und trinken, wenn
Ich dem Hungernden entreiße, was ich esse, und
Mein Glas Wasser einem Verdursteten fehlt?
Und doch esse und trinke ich.

MST3K Turkey Day marathon:

[parallax]

Actually come to think of it I'm pretty sure I can make everything that hits the table except for my dad's chorizo stuffing and that turkey prep. He's very secretive.

Gonna have to steal that

Man I wanted to deep fry a turkey again this year but my wife keeps telling me no. Almost kill yourself once trying it in college and have a wife brehs.....

made a deep fried turkey twice. had to watch that shit like a damn hawk, but damn was it worth it. ive known dumbassses try to fry frozen birds and fail spectacularly.

this year though, non traditional thanksgiving. ribs on the grill, potato salad, and baked beans. summer in fall brehs.

I don't hate you, and I think you're an awesome trans.

In other words, fuck 'em, find a new family amongst other folks who'll love you without conditions.

What

[Rufus]

From "An die Nachgeborenen", by Bertolt Brecht. German angst. I'd translate it, but it'd just be a bummer.

[fistfulofmetal]

man the fucking chinese restaurants are closed. this is bullshit.

[Mr. Nobody]

I'm full but once I start in on this pie and ice cream...

[Huff]

I'm drunk again.

[Kara]

...

What

It's a stanza from a poem Brecht wrote when he left Germany after the Nazi seizure of power. He's describing how people tell him to eat and drink and to enjoy what he has but all he can do is think about the people who are hungry and thirsty (presumably back home) who aren't getting the food and drink in front of him.

The depressing part is that he eats and drinks what's in front of him despite being unafflicted by the narrow spectrum amnesia that characterizes your average denizen of core countries.

The closing stanzas of the poem were probably a more apropos rebuttal but this is a culinary holiday.

two hour phone conversation with my sister about how keeping secrets affected the generations that came before us and how we don't want to end up with lives similar to theirs. Couple glasses of jim beam to get through it.

Typical drama shit thats just more acceptable now but wasn't back in the day. Stuff like raising kids that aren't yours but letting them find out way later in worse ways or having kids really young and giving it up for adoption but still kinda being in their life so all sorts of resentment and shit. Just burying or not facing any of that shit for decades and they're only coming out now because everyone is old and cant keep the bullshit straight. That and kids/grandkids wanting some history or backstory but always being met with vague bullshit and connections that make no sense out of context.

[Atramental]

No booze at my aunt's house.

Gonna get plastered once I get home.

[Huff]

My cuz referring to his brother "I cope by drinking. I cant imaging living with a newborn or a bitch wife"

[Yeti]

I had homemade tacos for Thanksgiving dinner tonight, it was delicious.

[StealthFan]

Went to Black Angus and had turkey, stuffing, mash, sweet potatos and pumpkin pie. Shit was delicious.

[Huff]

As my cousin grabs a couple beers from the fridge. "See ya later cuz."

Err alright drive back safe

Florida graduates

[Huff]

Hard to take that insult from a Georgia resident

[Himu]

Georgia shits on fLorida. Maybe not south Florida though.

[toku]

Georgia shits on fLorida. Maybe not south Florida though.

No South Florida is also terrible. Unless you're rich and Cuban then it's probably alright.

[toku]

Both states suck, just like mine

Honestly at this point I can't even get mad if anyone says a state sucks, maybe the US just sucks

 

[Atramental]

I'm in Kentucky at the moment. 

[Joe Molotov]

man the fucking chinese restaurants are closed. this is bullshit.

Taco Bell was open. 

[Huff]

Not sure where this idea that I'm from sofla comes from
