geez, it is the holiday season, we could use some positivity to end this crappy year. maybe we could have a “best gift that you gave anonymously” or something else “feel goody.” then maybe this pissing contest would maybe have more than 20(!) replies the next morning, when in the years past at this time i would have…

thanks, i have been looking forward to this list for books to add for reading. i don’t need light-hearted books, just diverting ones to counter-balance the reading of academic treatises and pandemic lockdowns.

you should understand that european racism is/was different from american racism. we call them ethnicities now, but back then they were races. there was the irish race, the english race, the polish race, the italian race, the german race. it was tied more tightly to geographic region/nation than more modern…

i spent 8 months backpacking in india, 96-97. the first time i got food poisoning was about 2 weeks after i arrived. i spent about a week in new delhi, but then i realized that i had no idea what i was doing or what was going on. so i got out of there and took a bus north, first to manali, and then later to shimla, a…

it’s funny how often i know who the writer is just by glancing at the headline of the story... if it has “epic” or “holy grail” or “jeep” or some combination like that... david tracy! if it is something like “How To Turn A McRib Into A Car”... jason torchinsky! :D

i was not sure, because i am an english speaker, but live in france, so i only knew it as “mr bout-de-bois” (mr piece of wood) :)

ah, ok, thank you. it is probably that. :)

are you missing a link for stick man? in his favorite kids book. (or what ever it is called in english...)

i am pretty sure that is every variety of cheese in france. to quote charles de gaulle... :D

how has this not been put up yet? :D

thank you! i am really happy that my story was picked, because thanksgiving is such a great holiday and it should be something to look forward too, as well as look back upon. maybe next year, i will get to shareit with another family or group of friends, and make new happy memories. :)

when in rome... i mean, i do not have the means, but someday... :D

but i want to guard my smug euro-centric image of american turkeys being to big to get laid by themselves as a metaphor! /s :D

thanks! it is funny because i am posting this and people are wondering why i am posting on the bugsnax thread. but it is the what am i gaming this weekend, and my answer is nothing, but this is what i am doing instead. not sure why i went of on a tangent, and why i responded to someone who obviously trolling me. i do…

from what i remember reading from thanksgivings past, was that they were to big to do it right. that they had become so specialized a breed that they would immediately die out because they were incapable. the linked article above does say... 

thanks! makes sense! :)

that is funny, i would not have guessed that it was literally for café. :)
