Soon, it will
be time for the over-consumption of food,
belt-buckle loosening and family arguments brought
on by annual Thanksgiving reunions.
Therefore, it's only appropriate to
search the archives and find some holiday
humor to reflect the moment. So here goes.
Gobble! Gobble!

[Excerpts from "Bart vs. Thanksgiving", The Simpsons]
Marge:
Mom! You made it! How are you?
Mrs. Bouvier: I have laryngitis and it hurts to talk, so I'll just
say one thing: You never do anything right.
and
Lisa: Mmph. [ Bart muffles her with a cushion]
Homer: Bart! Stop fighting with your sister!
Bart: She took my glue!
Lisa: It's not yours, Bart. This is family glue!
Homer: Stop it, you two. This is Thanksgiving, so glue friendly
or I'll take your glue away and then no
one will have
any glue to glue with.

Bonus: (a
trivia nugget about Chandler Bing from Friends)
Chandler's parents divorced when he was nine, and they told him about their impending divorce while he had a mouthful of pumpkin pie at Thanksgiving dinner. This is why he no longer enjoys
Thanksgiving -- it's too tragically grim.
Now, Chandler's preferred Thanksgiving meal is tomato soup, grilled cheese sandwiches and a large bag of
Funions.
