Re: Thanksgiving is coming up

Ah goddammit...here I was sipping my coffee, tending to my morning emails and perusing the forum posts from overnight and then I ran across this one.
I had to explain to the office manager across the hall why I had coffee coming out of my nose. To hell with all ya'll...and dammit, that shit hurts.
Anyway, this year will be the first one in the past 10 or so that we aren't having the meal at my house. As I am the male heir to a Thanksgiving Day family tradition that goes back, for us anyway over 40 years, I have had the pleasure of smoking the turkey on the grill. This year, my pops is gonna do it and we're all (me, the wife and kids...not you clowns) loading up here tomorrow afternoon after I finish work and driving the 3+ hours over the folks' house in NE Alabama for the occasion.
Smoking a turkey on the grill has been the annual tradition and I have to say, even if you don't like turkey, you'd like this one. The process is long and involved but the really good part about it usually is, it let's the men-folk participate in the food prep for the day in a decidedly manly way. Grilling is inherently manly. Grilling meat makes that manliness doubly manly. Smoking meat on the grill makes the extreme manly process slow down so it lasts longer. Throw in a fire nearby to keep warm, cold beer each time the fire gets too warm (which happens surprisingly frequently...as long as the beer lasts) and move one of the TVs outdoors to watch the football game...and you have a man event that can hardly be equalled. My 18 year old stepson is now down in Florida but he called last night to ask about baste ingredients...so he's doing it for his girlfriend apparently. My youngest son (8 years old) asked last night if he was gonna be allowed to help cook the turkey with grandpa and me. I kid him a lot (as dad's do) and I said "only if you drink beer and watch football with me and Grandpa" and he thought about it for a moment and then said "okay". I wiped away a tear of pride as my wife, sitting across the room, rolled her eyes.
So, it's over the river and through the woods (literally in my case) to grandmother's house we go on Wednesday. What makes it better is that the wife wanted to return Friday afternoon and I said "oh, no we can't leave Friday...the Iron Bowl's on TV that day" and without a word of protest she came back and said "okay, Saturday morning then". I am constantly reminded why I married her.
Anyway, that's our Thanksgiving. Oh, and as a commentary on the Canadian fella who started the thread: my blog post from last year about Canadian Thanksgiving.

I am starting to think we need to get NeoTifa a male hooker to calm down her hormones just a bit, LOL.

I'm thinking the word "male" in your post might be extraneous.

Have seen it many times. It is a very good movie. Anthony Hopkins is a damn fine actor and Jodie Foster has always done well in her roles.

That was either a sign of subtle genius or a sign of blissful cluelessness.
Either/or. It worked well.
