Today's my first Thanksgiving without any football

Screw_Michigan · Post by **Screw_Michigan** » Thu Nov 28, 2013 3:14 pm

The g/f and I are going to her friends' place for Thanksgiving, and since they are uber-liberal wankers who "aren't football people," as my g/f described, they host "T. Hanks Giving," where they watch Tom Hanks movies all day and eat Thanksgiving dinner.

In contrast, in my family growing up, on both sides, football is more Thanksgiving than fucking turkey.

Kill me right fucking now.

tell them football is pure socialism, wherein everybody works together toward a single goal, each contributing what they can toward the greater good of the whole.....

either that or threaten to kill a animal unless they acquiesce to your demands....if that doesn't work, start doing shots of Jägermeister.....

by the way, WTF is with these green words that are hyperlinks.....are we an advertisement board?

My in-laws scheduled a late dinner. Just as we wrap up dessert, the Steelers - Ravens game will kick off. I doubt that is a coincidence.

She had best be the best fukk ever.

Of course, we are talking screwey here, so she prolly has a 12" balck strap on which ih his little world is "the best fukk ever".

MgoBlue-LightSpecial · Thu Nov 28, 2013 5:40 pm

Screwey, if your g/f slips away to the bathroom, maybe you can pluck your balls from her coin purse and bust outta there early.

I had the option of attending two different T-givings', went with the one that would most assuredly have football, drinks and better company. The food won't be as good but that's okay.

My first Thanksgiving off in five years. I usually fry a Turkey for the shift, bake a couple chocolate pies, and whip up some deviled eggs. The other fellas do a crawfish casserole, candied yams, rolls, green beans, stuffing, and a couple of other sides.

This year, I've been told to do absolutely nothing which is different. This week, I sold our third vehicle, fixed a faucet and fan motor on the fridge, spent $1100 at Macy's yesterday (knocked out almost the entire family in half a day), and I managed to get laid by the ol' behemoth and live to tell about it.

So today...it's all about the football.

While I am not a football fan I realize it is part of Thanksgiving and always has been in my family. I am thankful for many things. The most important being Smackie Chan so today my daughter and I cater to a wonderful man..... Football, beer turkey dinner with the works. Happy Thanksgiving

The point should have been clear to even Humorless in Seattle. Tom Hanks sucks.

Not sure I'll sober up fully after staying up way late drinking way too much with a couple of other drunken idiots trying to keep the ECB at the right temp to smoke this bigazz turkey. Probably good we started at midnight.

But I've made it almost to noon. I'm guessing the BAC will be at an obscene level by the time the Pack/Lions are over.

What sort of fucking faggot opts out of football on Thanksgiving? Hell, I'll probably engage in some sort of sexual contact while watching football, probably about the same time Screwey is hearing Tom Hanks dancing on a giant piano.

No. Not. Even. Close.

Jimmy Stewart was a real life badass who was personified class in everything he did. Hanks is a an actor who made a movie about a war Jimmy Stewart fought in.

Thanksgiving dinner is all done. The Mrs and the in laws are going to a musical and then late night shopping. I am leaving for Austin as we speak to partake in a tailgate. Dont have a game ticket, but both teams suck when playing decent teams so the chances are good of finding one for free.

I wonder if I can take this bottle of Jack in with me?

You and your faggot boyfriend missed football? Kill yourself, loser.

Screwey, just "go with it" and try to have a great time. The T. Hanks thing sounds wacky! I love it!

P.S. ~ whatever movies you end up watching, you should finish up with Splash.

You're a

Found my new favorite drink at our family brunch this morning." Sgt Preston" Yukon Apple Jack, Baileys and coffee. Fucking outstanding.

Passing on the inlaws this year, because they have brats for grandkids and yuppie parents who make sure you know how much they spent, will be spending, and how important they are in their places of employment, all after they invoke the blessings of God for their good fortune this coming year.

And since it is a nice sunny day in the U & L, a bit on the cool side, and a holiday, that is obligatory for this family to discharge firearms at targets and pumpkins. Fuck the neighbors, you do not like hearing about 500 rounds go down range on Thanksgiving afternoon, then change your station.

A Thanksgiving thread, and you still find a way to dredge up some hostility and aggression. You really should be put down for the betterment of society.

Dude showed amazing restraint to this point. Who knew a thread about a Tom Hanks movie marathon on Thanksgiving was his breaking point?

Well Wayngro is a longtime felon who gets shot in the face at the end of Heat, so I guess I'm not too worried about it.

We watched his SNL dvd, which is pretty fucking funny, A League of their Own and Toy Story. I spent much of the time reading the Post, getting fed and drinking beer.

Next year: Sushi Thanksgiving, and football, at my place.

all of the words in green are hyperlinks that when I roll over them with your mouse bring up a small pop up window.....I don't get it.....maybe there's something fucked up with Firefox, but these green things just started appearing.....

I use Firefox but never see the green links, although they appeared when you quoted them. AdBlock must be working.

I don't dispute that Jimmy Stewart is in a class by himself but Hanks does conduct himself with decorum and, obviously, has a great deal of respect for WW2 vets. That much is clear from his involvement with SPR and Band of Brothers.

I think the modern day Jimmy Stewart comparison refers to Hanks' ability to portray the 'Average Joe' thrust into exceptional circumstances much like Stewart did. As actors they aren't all that far apart.
