It’s popular here in San Diego, and we’re about as close as you can get to actual Mexico. People here tend to get the bowls and burritos, not so much the tacos. There’s this belief that Chipotle is healthier than the corner taco shop. Also, since burritos in San Diego are generally not filled with rice or beans, a…

Good, now people can go back to eating rice *on the side*, the way God intended.

Take it from a former professor. Nobody reads the syllabus.

all in all, not a bad night for amazonian exorcist.

It got to the point where you couldn’t bury one without hitting another

I have the feeling that your childhood home has a lot of animal carcasses in shallow graves in the back yard?

When I was a youngster I can recall not having power, so grandpa attempting to cook the turkey on the grill outside.

The night before Thanksgiving is always a huge drinking night in my family, like it is for heaps of people. I got in late on Wednesday night and did not have a chance to go out with everybody. So I ended up staying back and helping my mom clean.

Were they doing something fucking straight up nasty, unnatural and socially abhorrent? Was it Crossfit?

I live about 5 hours away from my hometown, so I drove down for Thanksgiving and brought my girlfriend and her six-year-old daughter to let them meet my family. Had a great time, everyone thought the daughter was such a cute kid, my parents loved it. Driving back the next day, the daughter is complaining every 30…

I’d been dating my ex for about 6 months when we decided it was time to meet the parents. We were both infatuated with one another at the time and Thanksgiving offered a good opportunity for her to meet my family. We were living in Florida at the time and my family was in Pittsburgh so to fly she was forced to leave…

I have a Fantastic Thanksgiving story:

A roommate of mine and myself found ourselves on our own to cook a dinner one year in Minnesota. The week before, while we had been out of town, the pilot light went out and the pipes had all frozen in our 1920’s era rental house. This house was utter shit, and unbeknownst to us, but most crucially, the bathroom…

We tried to deep-fry a turkey at the office. Had an intern take the deep-frying kit outside and set up in the parking lot. He went out there with propane tank and did all the prep, filled it to the right level, set the burner and was ready to go.

Not so much a disaster, but a shitty situation. Senior year of college and my digital signal processing professor says that we are going to have an exam the Wednesday evening before thanksgiving (the class was 5-6:20 with lab immediately after from 6:30-7:20). My flight, which was booked months in advance, was to take…

My very large Irish catholic family gets together family reunion style at Thanksgiving every year, and descends on my grandmother’s tiny house en masse (40+ people). At Thanksgiving a few years ago, post food, the basement bathroom began to see heavy traffic. A few hours later, the toilet began to overflow turning the…

Nope, just you

Worst I ever saw in two years riding the metro in DC was a giant, sweaty, hairy, shirtless guy sitting down and chugging from a half gallon of milk. It was one of those sweltering, humid summer days in DC, and the guy was wearing nothing but shorts and tennis shoes. He was probably about 5’10” and at least 275 lbs.…

“An older black gentleman just looked at me from a few seats away and said ‘Jesus. Lord Jesus.’”

For biology class we had to put a goldfish in colored water and record how long it took for the goldfish to filter out the color. Afterwards you could take the fish home if you wanted. A girl in class that took public bus home everyday said a guy approached her on the bus. He asked if he could hold onto the goldfish.…
