PrintSo it appears I'm the only one around, which means that this could be the lowest-attended fanpost in a while. But I'll put one up anyway, because, well, because it's a day.
And because it's the day before Thanksgiving, the standard questions apply:
1. What are you doing for the holiday?
2. What is your favorite food of the Thanksgiving feast?
3. Does your family have Thanksgiving post-dinner plans? My family used to eat early and bowl at night.
4. What are the odds that you get too drunk and embarrass yourself in front of your family?
So, there we are.

Lets see:
1. Spending the day/feast with good friends.
2. Outside of turkey or ham, I’d have to say green bean casserole.
3. Drinking.
4. 100%. Daily.
Screw you, Mariners. I'm back in football's loving arms. *edit: well, shit. This isn't going well.
Let's see
1. Going to Jack in the Box tomorrow, then shopping
2. Yams, for sure
3. Black Friday stuff, since I haven’t had Thanksgiving with my family in six years
4. 0%
WHOAH COOL!

Answering my own questions
1. Going to the bar by our house for Thanksgiving dinner because my wife gets home late tonight and we can’t be bothered to cook.
2. Stuffing. Or gravy.
3. Drinking.
4. My wife’s seen me embarrass myself while drunk a lot, and that’s the only family I’ll be seeing tomorrow, so 0%.

.
1. Hosting my wife’s side of the family in our new house. With our new dining room table that I earned my man card back assembling late Sunday night.
2. My wife’s sweet potato & red onion recipe. Or Stove Top Stuffing. Can’t decide.
3. This year, we’re going for dessert to our real estate agent’s house.
4. 15%. Since we’re hosting, I might take that second or third glass of wine. But drinking too much wine just puts me to sleep, so combine that with the turkey, and I’ll more likely fall asleep on the couch.

that second or third glass of wine?
Don’t go crazy, now. hahahaha. When I go to my family’s for the holidays, “that third glass of wine” is the MINIMUM consumption level that’s acceptable.

Hmm
1. Going to my mom’s house. And then after dinner, heading to work.
2.Cranberry sauce. And ham.
3. No.
4.Have to work that night, so zero.
Questions.
1. Going to Kirkland for a bash that my uncle co-hosts with his partner. Helping prepare the big-ticket items.
2. I honestly don’t like this holiday. But homemade mashed ‘tatoes make up for quite a bit.
3. I have never celebrated Thanksgiving up here. I did see a game of Apples to Apples on the coffee table?
4. Um, they don’t really drink. I always thought holidays would be more fun if my family had alcohol infused get-togethers.
Yeah…I’m not really looking forward to tomorrow…

You have to prepare the big-ticket stuff in a house full of people that don't drink?

Answers!
1. Nothing special, mostly traveling to visit extended family.
2. Pumpkin pie!
3. Just hanging around with my grandparents for a little while.
4. 0%. Now cousin Eddie on the other hand…
most times of year you're probably right
but Thanksgiving is all about punpkin pie.

yes.
I don’t usually like sweet potatoes. But damn, this recipe my wife found that basically has sweet potatoes chunked with red onions, lemon pepper, and a few other ingredients all thrown in the oven for a bit is pretty damn good. I give my wife credit for it since she found and made the recipe first, but I pretty much do all the cooking on Turkey Day myself. I LOVE to cook…

Sweet potatoes... Ugh.
Jeanuts was “signed up” for sweet potatoes for tomorrow. She’s never made them, and we don’t like them. I told her to call my sister and get signed up for something else.
Man do I love midgets.
I normally HATE sweet potatoes, too.
Like “keep ’em the hell away from me” hate…
I can’t find the exact recipe right now, but it’s very similar to this (heh, I think there’s a typo in the number of sweet potatoes). And it’s sooooooo good. Basically olive oil, rosemary, lemon pepper and some other stuff are used as the marinade over the top.

I'd always be willing to try something new,
but until I actually taste good sweet potatoes, they stay on the “keep ’em the hell off my plate” list.

This.
Like asking for pumpkin and being told ‘we don’t have that, but sweet potato pie is better!" Did I ask for sweet potato pie? Pepsi tastes exactly like Coke? Ice cream looks like mashed potatoes, ever bite into it thinking it was going to be a delicious bite of ice cream?
This happened to me last week with pineapple juice.
Thought it was plain orange juice until I took a big drink.

Pineapple juice is so good

Opiate based stuff gives me the heaves, and makes me all itchy.
I’ve been going with valium or methadone for a few years now. Try and explain to a doctor that you have to use methadone for pain and check the reaction you get. Fun times. At least itchy and heaving distracts from the actual injury.
I had the worst stomach virus in the history of the world last Thanksgiving.

Wait, now I have to look up what's in a pecan pie.
Because I’m pretty sure it’s not a pile of creamy pecans. Or is it?
Nice, hard for me to find a good one.
Kind of like lemon merangue, there’s a couple different styles, but they don’t all work for me.
Other than the food, I've never been a fan of Thanksgiving
1. No plans, really. Mom had hand surgery Monday, so I’ll be in charge of food pickup. I’ll also probably catch a movie with my fiancee and her family earlier in the day
2. Favorite food has to be the simple answer of turkey with homemade mashed potatoes and gravy
3. I don’t believe my family has any after dinner plans, but if it isn’t raining we’ll likely light up the fire pit at Mom’s house and get a 6 foot flame going, as is the usual on Thursdays. This fire will also include plenty of drinking, so…
4. Low odds that I get drunk and make an ass of myself, simply because the rest of the family will also be drunk (or, in Mom’s case, heavily dosed on pain meds from her hand surgery)
So, good times all around
HA HA HA, your Grandpa's an ASS!- Tourette's Guy (R.I.P)
I've always been a Thanksgiving dinner traditionalist myself.
Christmas dinner can be pretty much anything – turkey, goose, prime rib, whatever – but Thanksgiving is turkey, basic bread stuffing, cranberries, mashed potatoes, gravy, maybe green beans, and punkin pie. No crazy wild-rice stuffing, no mashed sweet potatoes (or heaven forbid scalloped potatoes), no non-turkey gravy, nothin’ – I want basic Thanksgiving food.
Nice Guys Finish Third - Hopelessly lost, but makin' good time.
How the hell did I forget stuffing?
I only just started to like it, for some reason, but it is so great. Otherwise, you are speaking my language. I always get made fun of for having no color on my plate. I get plenty of turkey (light and dark), a pile of mashed ‘taters, cover it all in turkey gravy, and grab plenty of rolls. That’s it, and I wouldn’t have it any other way

That's me, totally
I can be persuaded to take the occasional green vegetable, but otherwise I want brown food and lots of it. I’m usually not that traditional about other meals, but for some reason Thanksgiving is pretty much about the Brown And White Food Groups for me.
Nice Guys Finish Third - Hopelessly lost, but makin' good time.
My only exception to the white and brown foods
(turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, stuffing, rolls) is cranberries. Gotta have cranberries or it’s not Thanksgiving.

I like both, but I have a weird fondness for jellied cranberries in a can.
Something about that noise it makes when it slides out of the can, and the way you cut it into little slices should really be a great big red flag to not eat it, but I just cant get enough of that stuff.

Canned.
Although I like real, as well. It’s more of a “this was great when I was a kid” thing.

We always had canned when I was growing up.
I didn’t even know what a cranberry looked like until I was about 25.
Man do I love midgets.
I thought they all were cylindrical and had lines in them
the first time I had “real” cranberry sauce at Thanksgiving it kinda scared me.

Their money is also inflated compared to ours.
But that was an awesome review. As much as I love GHWT, I was also baffled with the european songs being on the game too. Also, I still haven’t gotten used to that damn slider bar, I know why its there, to compete with Rock’s bands second set of buttons on their guitar, but it’s really useless.
Every time I hear something about GHWT
I am more happy that I opted for RB2 instead, even though there are a few songs in GH that I would like to be able to play

One thing I’ve learned of the “band” games, though, is that they are not as fun to play solo as the guitar only guitar hero games (1-3). The songs are picked based on band experience, and not guitarist experience

Buy a pawn shop guitar for $50
And one of their cheap $30 amps with built-in distortion, and you’re halfway there…
One of my more fun moments in life was sampling my penny whistle on my EPS 16+ sampler, and using it’s built-in distortion effect while playing “Amazing Grace” in the style of Jimmy Hendrix’ “Star Spangled Banner.” Of course, I could’ve just plugged a mike into a distortion pedal and played it on the penny whistle, but it was much easier to record that way. I’ll have to see if I can dig up the recording I made of this…

2. My wife’s Pecan Pie. Not even close.

4. I usually drink little at my folks place due to the drive home afterward.
Let's see...
1. The family’s at my place, so there’ll be a lot of avoiding the kitchen.
2. This is the rare time of year you actually get dark turkey meat. Yay drumsticks!
3. No plans here either. Let’s bowl, bidges.
4. 0%. I don’t drink at home.
I would love to bowl tomorrow
But I think that between bowling my league tonight, and the insane amount of eating I will do, coupled with a steady intake of alcohol due to the Seahawks game and everything else, I may be worthless by time Thursday night rolls around

TNR or Tahoma are about the only two that resumes should use.
They’re both crisp, clear, and not annoying. As a side note I’m really good at putting together/editing resumes so if you need someone to bounce yours off let me know.

In this country CV's aren't really that useful unless you're looking for work in academia
Most companies, even non-profits, want brevity and bullet points, and CV’s tend to be a bit long-winded (which is what they’re for).
Nice Guys Finish Third - Hopelessly lost, but makin' good time.
Someone suggested a CV for Gates Foundation.
As a CV would more highlight the relevant courses I’ve taken, the fact that I’ve written a thesis, my large amount of volunteer work, and my time in Central America.

if it was suggested then I'd do it
but I wouldn’t start randomly sending out CV’s to other companies unless you get similar advice from them.

Probably not... I just don't feel that TNR really stands out, so I like to use something slightly different like Garamond.
You have to make sure that your font will be recognized by the other person though, which means either using a basic standard font like Times or Arial, unless you’re going to code it as a .pdf document.

Was more of a general comment than directed specifically at you
Nice Guys Finish Third - Hopelessly lost, but makin' good time.
Wait, so clip-art of cute little kittens doesn't help?
I thought it was eye-catching, and can make the person sorting resumes feel a little bit better. As we all know, getting past that first filter is so important, and you can’t do anything if that person’s got a case of the mondays.
I’ve been trying to get a resume that would play a simple tune when you took it out of the envelope; something catchy and upbeat.
Also – I use a custom font that uses contorted Dachsunds to make the letters. Too much, or not quite enough?
if you were to deliver the resume using cute kittens as the delivery service that'd be fine
but it’s so hard to staple a resume to the back of a fast-moving kitten.

Kewl!
Will-do!
Must work on little gummy fasteners, and perhaps a small kitten chariot. Maybe the resume could be wrapped in a mini toga?

by Two Rs and Two Ls on Nov 26, 2008 10:31 AM PST up reply actions
I somewhat disagree
I see a resume as nothing more than getting a foot in the door, and to that end, it should lean heavily on experience rather than personality. Once your foot’s IN the door, and you get an interview, that’s when you can start to express your personality somewhat. A resume should be easy to read, yes, but it should also be businesslike, to the point, and easy for a reader to pick out your relevant skills.

I like a good sans serif on my resume.
I wouldn’t subscribe to the idea that there are only a few acceptable fonts, but it damn sure better be clean and readable.
"few acceptable" was probably pretty harsh, yeah

The annoying thing is that people use it seriously
A lot of people, at least in my corporate experience, think that using Comic Sans makes them seem “fun”. So they use it for business communications as their default Outlook font.

Also, the misuse of a font makes me hate the font.
I really liked Deftone Stylus for a while, which is a script-style font that I think would work really well on the back of a bowling shirt. Some of its letters are a little less than elegant, though, like its use as “Venezuela” for the WBC:

Was there supposed to be a picture there?
I can’t tell, but anything with “Deftone” in it is good by me, since they are one of my favorite bands. And now that I’ve looked that up, I do believe it is a great font, and would definitely look sweet on a bowling shirt

In college I worked with a page designer who felt this need to stab as well.
She came over to my place one day and I was playing the new EA college football game, and that year they decided to use Comic Sans for the names beneath the players, and she flipped the fuck out and vowed never to visit me again until I got rid of the game.

Thanksgiving is usually my favorite holiday,
there’s food, booze, and people aplenty. And you get football instead of presents, so it has that over Christmas. That being said, I’m not particularly looking forward to this year, because I’m
1. Going over to a friends house with the handful of my grad-student friends who are hanging around for the break and dont have local family get togethers to attend. Incidentally, these friends happen to fall on the less fun side of my friend spectrum. So I’ll be looking forward to some replacement-level fun. At least they cook very well.
2. Favorite food is stuffing, hands down. I love all kinds. Also, gravy. And anything with gravy on it.
3. Post dinner probably involves watching old episodes of the Office and 30 Rock on Tivo, which is OK, but these people arent football fans, so I probably wont even be able to see the game on the one Thanksgiving the Seahawks are on.
4. 0% Odds I get drunk enough to make an ass of myself in front of my friends: 70. Odds I get drunk enough to say “fuck this noise, I’m leaving to watch the Seahawks”: 30
At least you know there will be plenty of places open at which you can get drunk.

And to be more clear, I'm not really searching for somewhere else
They’ll learn real quick that to compete with other dealers they will need me to do what I have been doing. I will give them the benefit of the doubt and wait through the end of the year. They aren’t paying out anymore for any real online leads, which is what I’ve been working for the last 7 months. This means that anybody that goest to Cars.com, or any other sites like that, will not be put in contact with us. Just people that go to our dealer website. This has cut our lead volume from 300 per month over summer to barely 60 this month.

1. Going up to L.A. to spend a few days with the girlfriend’s mom, whose days are numbered. Small gathering, which is always my preference. I like my Thanksgivings to be extremely quiet and personal.

Just makes the good stuff taste that much better, really. When we’re bowling, basic domestics (bud and light, coors, etc.) are $8 per pitcher. They serve better stuff, but at $15 per pitcher. As good as the better beers are, that’s twice the price, and when I’m the only person on my team that prefers better stuff, I usually lose that argument.

I pulled that at WSU, a technical writing course.
Big pile of do do. We had a 10 minute journal entry to start every class, whatever the hell that had to do with technical writing. I went blank one day and ripped off the dialogue from “The Game” where Michael Douglas tells Chris Penn about his ex-wife’s new husband, “a gynecologist, a pediatrician. I don’t know, a pediatric gynecologist” She pulled me out of class and accused me of being a pedophile. So I cut the conversation off and took it to the dean of english department. He wound up being my instructor for the rest of the semester, I had one 10 page paper.
Got an A, big surprise.
Don't tell me WSU has a deep sea diving program.
For what, to rescue drowining wheat and cows?
Man do I love midgets.
I started off burning a goodly portion of my GI Bill on upland wildlife management.
Focus on wildfire resource management. I had this image of bombing around the backwoods of the northwest, rallying the troops, putting out campfires and cigarette butt blazes. Calling in strategic air strikes of fire retardant. The reality of that was more pocket protectors and cell phones. Also they flanked me with a bunch of dumbshit profs and grad students, my stress levels couldn’t take it. I hate to admit defeat, or ever quit. But they beat me. : (
I am not cut out for university politics, gamesmanship, the temperament to jump through the hoops invented to quantify a degree. I kept thinking that the first guy to ever develop a discipline probably didn’t even realize he was developing a new discipline. He was probably just some guy(girl) following his curiosity. Next thing you know there’s people turning it into a program and handing out diplomas.
That makes more sense.
Man do I love midgets.
I forgot about that part, it really frosted me.
They stretched dive school to 7 months, that legally entitled them to 2 years worth of student loans. There was really about 3-4 months of real instruction, the rest was garbage filler. Really pissed me off when you think about the loan burden you are placing on people. It may not seem like much but it adds up.
Hopefully you kept it away from the air intake.

When I used to work construction,
whenever we had to use the fresh air mask, we’d hunt for dog poop in the yard to put by the intake just to mess with whoever was inside.

Oh that is soooo bad. Soooo bad. Just a little, back of the mouth. there it is again.
Gag dude. That is soo bad. I made a dive after loaning my dive hat to a guy with halitosis, my facemask reeeeeeeeked the whole dive. But dog do do. That is soo bad I can’t imagine it.
Check out this 32lb p.o.s.
Shiny! I use a K-M 17B. Fricking dinosaur but for the most part the new stuff is just slight improvements and bolting on some jazzy shiny stuff. Like this, has 4 stage exhaust valve. Still has a neck dam though right? That’s where all your leakage comes into the hat, they make your neck dam tight enough to be impregnable it would choke your head right off.
I should try and find some cool diving video’s. Most are boring set ups for product sales.
Fresh air masks for construction aren't nearly that complicated.
Think of a full-face scuba mask with an air hose going in the bottom.
Man do I love midgets.
I think I've seen those. Don't they work off positive pressure?
Or do they only provide air when you take a breath?
Positive pressure I think.

While I would have liked to see the show get a true sendoff,
I had no problem with it ending after three seasons. I like short, crisp TV shows that don’t go on past their expiration date. The timing felt fine to me; it just sucked the way it happened.
I would definitely watch the movie, though.

It’s not particularly dangerous, but unless it’s been gentrified parts of the area are a bit run down and shabby – not that that makes it bad, by any means. All I mean is, if you’re pondering moving there, make sure you check out the potential living arrangement in person in pretty good depth before you agree to anything.

Oh yes, my girl and I are in a decent situation now
I’d just greatly prefer to live somewhere a little more urban, and it’s less than a mile from her job. We’re definitely in a position to be quite picky.

I like that area pretty well
it’s close to most everything, there’s decent transit links, and it’s a bit off the beaten path.

This is all quite encouraging.
Also, proximity to trains is pleasing to me.

The only downside is that it's not really walkable to a big grocery store
but there’s a Trader Joes at 20th/Madison and the Broadway QFC isn’t that far either. And I think there’s a Safeway over by the Twilight Exit but that’s since I left so I’m not sure where it is (I want to say it’s on 24th and Union or somewhere).

I do almost all of my shopping at TJ's.

I stand somewhat corrected
the TJ’s is at 17th and Madison, actually.

Yes. The shuttle picked me up at 2:45 so I just stayed awake
And finally landed at 11am. I’m in Arizona, stuck in a “smoking” hotel room. Bleurgh.
Ah yes. Been there many times.
at least it’s a decent time of year to be there.
Nice Guys Finish Third - Hopelessly lost, but makin' good time.
By the way
I know you’re not down there for fun but if you get a chance go get dinner at Casa Molina in Tucson. Like I told NOLA a couple weeks ago, their salsa will make you weep with delight.
Nice Guys Finish Third - Hopelessly lost, but makin' good time.
there may in fact be better Mexican food in Tucson
but that salsa…damn it’s good. Don’t get me wrong, the food’s by no means bad, but as far as Tucson goes it’s fairly average-to-good compared to some of my other faves.
If you go to the one on Grant you can also stop by Plaza Liquors on the way back to GV, it’s probably the best wine and beer selection in Tucson. Should you require that sort of thing.
Nice Guys Finish Third - Hopelessly lost, but makin' good time.
I probably will do the one on Grant. Thanks for the Plaza Liquors tip too!
I might could use a drink Friday evening. Margaritas in my hotel room perhaps!
If it's margaritas you're after you won't need Plaza
they sell hard liquor in grocery stores down there. There’s an Albertson’s right by that Casa Molina with a pretty good alcohol section. And if you see a slightly harried woman chasing two blond toddlers around that Albertson’s, that’ll probably be my sister.

It's always somewhat jarring to buy vodka at a grocery store for me
having spent most of my life in the NW. But it’s cool.

I'm not sure if I should just stay at work and wait it out or what...
Maybe find a local pub to hole up in for a while or something (Jeanuts would probably kill me if I did that)..
Man do I love midgets.
You know, you need to stop making decision based on whether or not Jeanuts will approve.
Just man up, and ask yourself ‘what do I really want to do here?" And then do that. Definitely the way to approach this thing called marriage. Otherwise you wind up a simpering bowl of jello, too afraid to make a manly decision without checking with ’the wife’ first.
I'm my own man.
Unfortunately I was my own man last night and stayed out later than I said I would, so I’m trying to behave myself.

Yeah, I'd love to talk about this problem of yours some more
But my wife says I need to clean up the kitchen.
I just got home from work and found a note on my door
FedEx tried to deliver my new iPod to me today but I wasn’t home to receive it. I’m torn between braving traffic (again) in order to pick it up myself, or waiting until Friday.
Quick! Try calling them, maybe the guy is still out and the dispatcher can send him back around!
This actually worked for my wife once.
I'm making a tasty "rich boy" sandwich for my dinner tonight
It’s difficult knowing that if I get my iPod, the sandwich will be postponed by at least 45 minutes.
I think I will

Rich boy?

Having beaten COD5, Left 4 Dead, Mirror's Edge, Fallout 3, and Fable 2
I am left wondering what I should play next. Any suggestions?
Keep playing L4D?
It’s supposed to have the some of the best replayability for a game in history. Expert always gives a challenge.
I've been debating if I want to even bother downloading COD5.
Seems like just an updated version of COD2. And there’s no way it can possibly match the awesomness of COD4.

Fuck Thanksgiving
Everything that’s not a casino is shut down for the day, and I’m stuck w/o my 360 or Wii in my own personal hell.
Anyone have any good flash games?

Fuck you people and your families and food and shit.

And play 99 Bricks
It’s Tetris, but with no side walls and physics that cause your tower to tip over if you screw up. You have 99 bricks to make the biggest tower you can

Seriously?
How does that work?
Man do I love midgets.
You have a float sponsored by Cartoon Network
And when it gets to the showcase area for NBC, you bring out Rick Astley randomly to lip-synch “Never Gonna Give You Up”.
Jeanuts is thankful for Thingray and stuffing.
Thingray is thankful for Jeanuts, the fact she’s a good cook, and the six pack I’m taking with us to Thanksgiving at my sisters.
Happy Thanksgiving! Two slices of pie for me bitches!
Man do I love midgets.
Same here.
I was like, “oh cool, only 7 points against us…that’s not so bad for the Seahawks…” A few minutes later…“oh wait”
So not entertaining.
The Cougars are just as bad a team on the college scale but at least they were playing an equallly (or worse) bad team during the Apple Cup so it was somewhat entertaining
HAPPY TURKEY DAY!
May we all not make fools of ourselves in front of family (or is that more fun? hmm) and those of you playing LL football be able to get up for it tomorrow and be worth something on the field. I however am not able to engage in that activity but I still have to get up too damn early
It was utter shit. I fear for what my son may one day be subjected to musically.
Screw you, Mariners. I'm back in football's loving arms. *edit: well, shit. This isn't going well.
I now hate football.
But I still love it.
Screw you, Mariners. I'm back in football's loving arms. *edit: well, shit. This isn't going well.
A slightly belated Happy Thanksgiving to all of you
If you’ll excuse me, I’m about to enter into a turkey-induced coma.
Fuck having to work today.
Then I have a 4 1/2 hour drive to Long Beach.
Screw you, Mariners. I'm back in football's loving arms. *edit: well, shit. This isn't going well.
