We start by watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade and then watch the dog show. Might watch a feel good movie in the afternoon. Traditional Turkey dinner at night. (Babe? Peanuts Thanksgiving?) On Friday we take down the orange strings of outdoor lights that have been up since early...

Our Christmas-eve dinner has always been the big one for our family, with a standing rib roast at the center Dessert has always included a grasshopper pie (the liqueurs not the insects). Christmas dinner itself could be whatever.

I find my internal $ pricing evaluations are sometimes overly influenced by when I first started buying things decades ago. These all seem much better if I convert the monetary units to "new comic books" or "quarter pounder meals" instead of $$.

Using cultural things seems more useful to me too. I'm 1/3rd of the way through Gen-X (1970), but my end-of-X sister a decade later was too young to really be hit by the Atari 2600, Star Wars figures, B/X, 1e, Commodore 64, episodes iv-vi, and Ghostbusters that hit me squarely in middle...

There is one in @Sacrosanct 's "Twilight Fables". The picture seems to match the Wikipedia description anyway, (Yeuch!).

The Hodag. We drive through Rhinelander every summer to the town just to the northeast of it. It shows up in the Pathfinder (1e) Bestiary 3, but doesn't look authentic there. It also shows up in a Scooby Doo episode. The Nuuttipukki. Borrowing on my Finnish ancestry we use it as an extra...

Oh they built a sister ship, the SS-92, and its bow was painted red and its stern was painted blue, and they christened it with beer and it sank right off the pier, it was great when the sad ship went down! - memories of the final verse in the "The Titanic Song" as used at summer camp (and not...

"The hiss of the surgeon's knife, the gnawing teeth of his saw, Wheeze, cluck, swash of falling blood, short wild scream, and long, dull tapering groan, These so, these irretrievable." - Walt Whitman, from Song of Myself 36, a decade before the end of the Civil War.

When using relish, dill relish >>>>>> sweet relish.

Topped with pimento cheese and pickled jalapenos and nothing else. Buns are often disappointing, but when in doubt, Texas toast works. Trying to avoid beef more, so often get grilled chicken sandwiches. In that case lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, jalapenos, and either barbeque or Frisco sauce or...

Other half mentioned tapes we used to have and Glass Tiger came up. Haven't listened to the album Thin Red Line in years, but have it pulled up on Amazon Music now :) I have the CD... but the office computer has no CD player.
