Post a picture, entertain me!

From today's XKCD what if:
"To put it another way: If I mounted a GAU-8 on my car, put the car in neutral, and started firing backward from a standstill, I would be breaking the interstate speed limit in less than three seconds."

If someone refuses to eat cheese grated with this device, is it religious intolerance, or lactose intolerance?

I'm more curious about the illuminated BBQ tongs.

Those in the states need to get ready for Thanksgiving. Do you know what you're bringing?

That is awesome. I should do that. As the host ever year, I do the turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, apple pies, sweet potatoes, stuffing and lemonade. Everything else is up to the guests but having it all laid out like that would make life so much easier and I might not hate every f*cking goddamn minute of the holidays.

Bah Humbug.

Hey Marney, should I bring a casserole dish with or without a lid to cram up your bunghole?

You and all the other people hating on Marney must not have a clue how hard it is to pull off a holiday feast. You all need to get off your lazy football watching asses and do some work for a change. I swear this year I'm going to put my foot through the f*cking TV so they can't f*cking watch that goddamn f*cking evil ass game.

Yes. Football sucks.

Our standing brunch invite is the polar opposite of that. Here it is verbatim:

  • Do not show up before 11 and expect us to be happy.
  • Scientific experiments and implosions are relegated to the backyard ONLY.
  • There will be jungle until there isn't.
  • Bringing food to share is encouraged but not mandatory. If in doubt of what to bring, remember that there is never too much bacon or too many mimosas.
  • Food is ready when it's ready and it gets eaten when it gets eaten. When it's gone, it's gone.
  • Be prepared to laugh, dance, talk, and cuddle.
  • Pyjamas, while not essential, will score you bonus points.

We tend to have half the attendees working the kitchen at any given time on holidays. The TV and couch are for the occasional person to wander over and fall asleep.

We don't really do the old-school gender split thing, though. That's probably part of it.

Of course it's hard work. I also appreciate asking people to bring a dish. However, you don't have to be a Female Doggo. Why demand that your own pie recipe be used? If you're going to be that specific, you might as well do it yourself.

Trek yoself before you wreck yoself.

Or something to that effect.

Seriously, some of us live in rather discombobulated families where trying to help results in nothing pleasant. I can't help my mom cook. I'll ask her for a task, she'll assign it, and every time I go to do it she'll scream that I'm in her way. Then she'll Female Doggo about the island in the middle of the kitchen being inconvenient and making the kitchen too small. Eventually this just drives everyone but my mother out of the kitchen.

Then I go play video games until it's time to set the table, because at least that is out of my mom's way.

Well, that's how it was. We eat Thanksgiving dinner at my Aunt's now. But Christmas is no different.

First off, you might try switching to decaf. Secondly, I have planned and hosted more holiday feasts than I can count without being dictatorial about it, but thanks for making presumptions about me. Finally because of this experience, I know that if, as host, I want to serve with a specific spoon then I had better have one in my drawer. I should be thankful that I can share the season with loved ones instead of brow beating them over store brand ice cream.

PS: I love football.

Aw man, that show was so great.

"The strongest Maaaan ... in the world."

While I feel like this turkey day discussion is starting to border on P&C (which is scary unto itself)... I have to agree with those that have said, if everything is THAT important to you, then you gotta do it yourself. Demanding that a pie be made using ONLY this recipe... then you make it. What if I think my pumpkin pie is better and I don't have to research to make it? I'm out of luck, and now feeling extremely put out and would probably consider buying a deli-ordered turkey dinner from one of my company's stores and staying home with my wife and Skyrim.

It's like that show Bridezillas. If it's so important that everything be absolutely perfect... it's really better to do it yourself because NO ONE is going to do everything JUST the way you imagined it in your head... and possibly relax a little to enjoy the holiday for the company and family rather than how perfect the spread is before everyone rips into it.

Sorry I took it out on you. I just hate this time of year and I just want life to end.
