Not the Australian wild Turkey.
This Sulpher Crested Cockatoo was ready for his close-up yesterday.
As it's nearly 2.30am, goodnight.
Let the record show that I was not one of the Ohioans at DR elmore's '80's Thanksgiving dinners (but I'd sure love to know who was ;))
A Christmas Memory - I guess that's NOT a Thanksgiving story is it?
OH! The CGI-generated "cold breath" started driving me up the wall. It was just a little too obvious - especially when some of the actors didn't look cold otherwise. *However, at least they put it in, unlike in the Phantom of the Opera movie where they're all standing in the snow with nary a physical sign of a chill in sight!
It's a petty custom, this Thanksgiving, and the hollowest and most insincere of all mockeries which useag has accustomed us to. The way we do it is to prepare a better dinner than we can afford, and overload our somachs to an alarming degree. One man out of a hundred and one woman out of fifty goes to church and hears the minister tell how much they have to be thankful for, and a few sound their own hearts and decide that the blessings which they have attained are very meagre, and are owing fully as much to their own unaided exertions as to the grace of God.
Now if only Asslee Simpson would call it quits, too! That would truly be a reason for Thanksgiving!
Watching the last part of the Macy's Parade - switching back and forth between NBC and CBS. Too bad that it seems that most of the Broadway sections were in the first hour...
YIKES!!!!
Accident at the Macy's Parade.... The m&m's balloon hit a lamp post... and one of the lamps fell off... and hit someone... They just showed the ambulance driving away (on CBS at least).
Well, it's official - Nick and Jessica are calling it quits! Happy Thanksgiving!
::)
I didn't really see anything in our local ads that make me want to brave the crowds. I did see some good prices on some memory cards.
AARRGGHH!! I set one of my VCRs to tape the wrong day!! Did anyone tape the first hour of the NBC broadcast?? I programmed the CBS broadcast properly, but not the NBC...where all of the good show performances are. Can anyone help??
But at the bottom it also mentions that Threshold was cancelled too:
In other departure news, E! Online television columnist Kristin Veitch reported Wednesday that CBS has pulled the plug on freshman sci-fi series Threshold. The show ran a distant third in its time slot on Tuesday night.
TOD:
My favorite Thanksgiving memory was the time me and my aunt made fruitcakes and sent them off to Franklin Roosevelt and Hedy Lamarr, and then we went outside and flew kites.
Wait a minute--sorry--that was Truman Capote's favorite Thanksgiving memory.
Actually, it's Truman Capote's favorite Christmas memory.
DRJOSE when is his CD coming out?
LOL....if your father doesn't have enough material for a solo CD - my dad can play some C/W standards to fill it out!

What in tarnation IS a video iPod???
I had to go meet David Wechter at Mel's Diner to pick up the DVD we did the other night. He and his bro and kids were having lunch, so I had a sandwich, too, something I rarely do on Thanksgiving. BUTT - Mel's Diner was PACKED. I've never seen anything like it - at 1:30 people stuffing themselve silly when you know that three hours later they will be eating a HUGE Thanksgiving dinner.
I'm always amazed at the number of restaurants that stay open on Thanksgiving AND are packed. Heck, even McDonald's does pretty good business on Turkey Day.
While walking around Georgetown last night, there were numerous restaurants with signs in their windows proclaiming they would be open today for Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner. And with the movie theatres down there, I'm sure those places will get a decent amount of business today.
Great pics Jason.
Not to be confused with the oft heard "Great pecs Jason".
DR elmore - Sounds like a great dinner? Did you bring a dry change of clothes with you?
;)
The menu. Well, we ate shrimp, cheese puffs, port wine cheddar, brie, kielbase with cheese, then we ate turkey, stuffing, corn pudding (or porn cudding, as one of our friends likes to call it) and yams until we thought we could eat no more, then we had pumpkin pie with brownies and oatmeal chocolate chip cookies on the side.
Debbie Reynolds may liven up W/G a bit! Fingers crossed!
Just finished watching JOEY. NBC should change the title to DEAD HORSE because they keep flogging it and nothing works. When did Thursday become "must-miss"?
I'm back from a terrific dinner with Mr Skip Kennon, DRFJL, and some lovely guests. There was one unfortunate moment involving a bitch fight over food that became so vicious water had to be thrown on the combatants to bring it to a halt. Other than this social gaffe, the afternoon was quite festive, the food was excellent, and the company exceptional. And the things you learn!
So? Who did you fight with, elmore?
Now see...that was MY line of thinking. I figured we were REALLY talking bitchy...but not literally "bitches."
DR George, I am very confused. Which Macy's did you need? The first hour of CBS or NBC?
