Got your email - thanks! Now I'll have something to watch while Iceman watches football until our guests arrive :)
Tell Iceman I'll bet on the Lions if he spots me 21 points.......
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone else too!
LOL! Iceman says no thank you, the Lions can upset anybody and win straight on any given day. I have no idea what you all are talking about.
No I haven't had a chance yet on the email

MSNBC is doing a WalMar around the world.....
Sorry I see a lot of positives for it helping to bring a lot of people into the 20th century.....be positive someday something will replace WalMar life is all about change!
This is capitalism, to some maybe too exstream but just remember something else will evole from this and maybe more local and people centered!
As things grow to be too impersonal, the need to fill the void forces a more personal community to evole!
Maybe you should consider Law Enforcement.
My son Garrett says that the knowledge that you will occasionally get to shoot people like this is a great comfort when dealing with them.

Absolutely lovely - enjoy!

Dear Mom,
I hope you and dad are having a Happy Thanksgiving. This year we decided to do something a bit different and fry our turkey whole. I am in a newsgroup on the Internet that just could not say enough about how great they taste fried. I even got a recipe from one of the members. It went something like this:
1 turkey plucked and gutted - leave feet for holding turkey
5 gal bucket peanut oil
1 extra large deep fryer heated to 500 degrees
That didn’t sound too complicated, and even though I’ve had several kitchen disasters in the past, I thought this would be a festive way to celebrate Thanksgiving. Besides, we could do the deed outside on our wooden deck to avoid making a big mess in the kitchen. What could go wrong?
I couldn’t find a turkey with feet at the grocery store. The butcher
thought I was crazy and suggested I try one of the nice frozen one that was on sale. I figured a meat man should know, so I got one. Have you ever tried to thaw out a frozen turkey? It’s a weeklong job. I figured the hot grease would do the trick anyhow, so why worry.
Have you priced peanut oil lately? I decided some of the other stuff would work just as good. After all, cooking oil is cooking oil. I managed to get the oil in the pot just fine. Heating it was a bit tricky as it kept
smoking and bubbling. But since we were outside, I thought the smoke wouldn’t hurt anything.
Now this is the part you won’t believe! I threw that sucker in the pot and
when the thing thawed out the oil boiled over on the wooden deck and caught the deck on fire! We got the garden hose to put it out. Who would know not to put water on a grease fire?
It didn’t really matter anyhow. In all the excitement I forgot to watch the
cooking thermometer and the grease must have become too hot. I was inside the house looking for the fire extinguisher when I heard the explosion. Have you ever seen a mushroom cloud? It was incredible!
After the fire department left, we decided to eat dinner out next year. Not
only was our Thanksgiving dinner ruined, but the deck burned down and took half the garage with it. The dog will be just fine when his fur grows back. We’ve always wanted a Mexican Hairless dog anyhow.
The fire department told us they make a lot of house calls about this time
of the year from people frying turkeys who don’t know what they are doing. Like, is it my fault that the grease was cheap and the stupid turkey wouldn’t thaw out? They need to put consumer-warning labels on turkeys!
Speaking of the turkey, we are still looking for it. I think it may have
blown to bits as we’ve looked all over the neighborhood. If you see a turkey shaped cloud of ash circling the earth, that’s probably it.
By the way, you may see us on the evening news on TV. A lot of people
thought it was a terrorist attack. I only hope we have not been reported
to the FBI.
Anyhow, I just want to let you know that we are all fine. I don’t think the
house will be fixed for a while since there is a lot of smoke damage. We
are moving to a motel. Do you think we could come to your house for
Christmas this year?
You were not planning on frying a turkey, were you?
Happy Thanksgiving Loddy. I like you posts on TOS, you lead a double life - lol
Cheers to you too.
Nice - heheh.
Reminds of the links you used to post, back in the day.
That video clip is very funny, but remember I was the insufferable Count de Dork and grannie use to spit on my shoes.
