Only if the commenters are as steady and funny with the “yer mom” jokes to haters as they are in the Kristin threads. Honestly, that’s like 80% of why I read the Kristin articles!

Fun fact (for me, anyway): I saw Phenomenon in a dollar theater with my dad, no one else was there, and he made me giggle the whole time when we were supposed to be serious bc he kept singing “Phenomenon!” to the tune of “Mahna-Mahna” from the Muppet Show.

Unfortunately I don’t... I wish I did, bc I’d love to have that info too! My best advice would just to buy a fresh bird if possible! They’re more pricey, but at least you know they haven’t been dead for long.

I’m in supply chain for a major food retailer and I can assure you it is. Our building retains its unsold supply to sell the following years and always has, and every other major food retailer that I’m aware of does as well. They’re not all that old, of course, but you’d be surprised! We’ve been selling thru the same…

My mom’s older brother was an alcoholic, agoraphobic biker, and we usually only saw him on Thanksgiving for that reason. When I was nine, he turned up to dinner with his girlfriend Star, a fellow biker, and my dad (who didn’t really “get” him, but wanted to make him feel included) asked him to say the blessing. And, I…

My Bosnian friend tried pumpkin pie for the first time today. “The spices are what we use in Bosnia... But... It is... A slimy dessert, isn’t it?” She was such a trooper! I love me some pumpkin pie, but I get how it might have, shall we say, an unpleasant texture if you’re not accustomed.

Then, too, a lot of frozen turkeys are birds that were killed up to four years before they made it to the grocery store. No advances in freezing technology can really overcome that totally. The idea that a child born the same day your turkey was slaughtered is now old enough for pre-K just boggles the mind.

My drunk uncles are all dead, so I enjoyed the nostalgia!

I laughed pretty hard at the St Louis Cows, not gonna lie.

THANK YOU. I stopped for several seconds to rearrange the sentence in my head before I could read on. I’m such a pedant.

IS SHE WEARING A BARBARA WALTERS WIG

It’s a very Achewood-style turn of phrase. I approve.

Thanks - that seems like a pretty definitive answer.

She’s never seen Barney or the Teletubbies and if I get my way she never will. I can be indulgent but goddammit I have my limits!

My toddler knows that some men love men and some ladies love ladies, and since I didn’t make a big deal out of it neither does she. Kids are remarkably blase about these things unless their authority figures wig out about it.

For real though: I hadn’t used mine for years and was considering giving it up. And then my kid turned three and became obsessed with old Disney movies. I can buy them shits for $2 at the thrift store! She doesn’t care about picture quality!

Can you clear this up for me since you’re surrounded by it - is Zwarte Piet (sp?) supposed to be of African origin, or an elf, or what? I’ve heard different things and it confuses me.

That sentence gives me hives

When I poop I feel like I should give presents to the OTHER unfortunate souls in the house :( sorry everybody

For real tho I could totally see Kanye getting HIMSELF a push present. He’s that kind of dude.
