How well do you remember the importance of Thanksgiving?

Happy Thankgiving everyone.
I started mine with lunch at Commander's Palace, where I am just recovering from the 25 cent martinis that seemed like a good idea after this:
The "Drunken Pumpkin" cocktail, which is the bomb.
Single batch bourbon, Manderine Napolean, lime juice, pumpkin pie spices, then mixed with ice in a cocktail shaker and presented in a chilled martini glass.
Help me, Obiwan.....

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Overstuff yourself on food and then watch the first half of the NFL game and sleep for the rest of the day. Well, at least that's what I do!

No. Because if our ancestors hadn't done it we'd all be European or African or whatever and wouldn't have American Football or Baseball.JXC;1605732; said:
A world without American Football and Baseball isn't a world I would want to live in. So I'm thankful for that.
Sports, really. At least all the interesting ones. :!
