News Flash: Titties Maybe Not a Huge Deal
A few years ago, my boss overloaded me with so much work that there was no conceivable way I'd be able to go home and would have to spend Thanksgiving alone. Eventually, after realizing that he's a giant asshole, he invited me to join him and his fancypants friends for Thanksgiving at his fancypants private club. It…
My first Thanksgiving in Boston I volunteered to make the potatoes because everything else seemed too intimidating. What was not mentioned was that it was supposed to be mashed potatoes. I showed up with colcannon, a personal favourite, which is a potatoes with cabbage and bacon. Most of our group loved it, but one…
Also? Not relevant, but this top is bloody amazing.
The Pet Shop Boys are writing a musical about him. They premiered a track last year December in concert, it was called "He Dreamed Of Machines" if I recall correctly.
Can I rant on behalf of my grandma?
Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter always ended up in violence with my family.
So, this is last year. My wife left me (not that way), for the holidays and went to see her family alone for reasons. I was in grad school at the time and invited a bunch of my cohort over for a friendsgiving. I cooked a whole feast: huge, fat turkey, complete with aromatics, cooked to exactly the right…
I'm one of those people who has a late November birthday, which means every 3 years, or so Thanksgiving is hangover central. This is not a bad thing, I've gotten used to it, but it helps give some context.
My husband and I are staying in the house that was my Grandparent's home for more than 30 years. It's located in a summer resort town, but my family has always loved thanksgiving here and my grandmother was a fabulous cook. She made everything from scratch and started preparing a solid week in advance. It was her…
I was 8 years old, and prone to chronic migraines, the onset of which were preceded by sensitivity to light, or heightened smell. I woke up feeling tight in the head, another warning sign, but didn't think much of it. As guest arrived and nibbled on snacks I started to feel awful, I could smell the fish in the…
Mine was about three years ago. My immediate family usually goes to my sisters house for the holidays. She has a big new house about an hour from us and expects us to trek to her every year. That was cool for a while but she begs us to visit and then when we come she complains the whole time about us "tearing up her…
I think you should demand that they submit to a piss test before they get their free turkey dinner.
Tomorrow I spend the holiday with my entire extended family, all of whom recently shared this on facebook:
Thank you for the update. Thank you very much for showcasing the very important legacy of Alan Turing. A man whose meditation on what it means to be a person came at a time when his own personhood was denied. That he could reach into the depth of that misery and envision a future where the definition of personhood and…
With a quick glance as I was scrolling down the page, I think she looks most like "the only dad she knows." After reading the copy, it is apparent that I am bad at this tabloid stuff.
You could almost call this article "taboob."
As I'm sure anyone on Jez who has been affected by breast cancer knows, this scar is so, so, so tame in comparison to what happens, surgically to so many women with breast cancer. Hell, my best friend's current areolas are tattoos.
