61 grey eggnog... or gray eggnog... nope, can't picture it, nuh-uh.

well, maybe in Edinburgh, the WSJ years ago had a front page column (the middle of the front page, which was always goofy stuff) had an article about the pollution in Edinburgh: one resident was quoted as saying that it was a good thing if you smoked cigarettes, because the cig smoke coated your lungs and protected them from all the pollution. Don't forget, these are people who think that chopped up guts and oatmeal cooked in a stomach is not only edible but a delicacy. (I got that last line from a Monty Python book.)

Lt Col Frank Slade; "Look at me when you're talking, Randy .."

Randy Slade; "what kind of lunatic only buys catastrophic coverage? Anyway, his insurance policy got cancelled .."

Lt Col Frank Slade; ".. the one that got away.."

Randy: "You know what.. he was an asshole before he got cancelled. Now he's just an uninsured asshole.."

Frank Slade; "Hoo-wah.."

69 I'm not an eggnog fan, myself. To be fair, I formed my opinions before I was old enough to drink. And now I figure there's no reason to develop a love of such a high calorie drink.

79 Our autistic kid's psychiatrist took him off of two major meds, and the result is a happier, more emotionally expressive and connected kid. For the Dr., the decision and the outcomes, we are very thankful this year.

Here's a great side dish that ya still have time to make for Thursday:

Peel & boil 5 lbs. of red potatoes, drain, mash until smooth.

In a microwaveable bowl, soften 8 oz. cream cheese, 1 cup sour cream, 3 tb. butter, and you might as well toss in the needed 2 tsp. garlic salt, 1 tsp. salt and 1/4 tsp. black pepper.

Beat all that goodness into the potatoes until you have your desired texture. Let it cool, then cover. (We like to layer clear wrap over it, pressing it down flat.) Put it in the 'fridge at least overnight of for up to 7 days (yes, a week. The flavors blend with time).

When you're ready, place the desired amount in a non-stick or greased casserole, dot w/ desired additional butter, and bake at 350 for 1/2 hour.

Yes, Illinois' traditional nickname was the Sucker State. http://chicagoist.com/2012/09/27/illinois_the_sucker_state.php I'm in Dixon, anyone nearby? I understand if you don't want to say on the net, but what difference does it make anyways? The NSA knows.

Of course looking at our elected officials today, and the JEF, maybe Sucker State is very apropos. Don't blame me I didn't vote for those numbskulls.

104 Eggnog is good with Canadian Club, Markers Mark, Jamesons, and Mt Gay Rum. Each has a different taste, all are dark liquor. I like CC the best, and Mt Gay second. Yum. My wife makes REAL eggnog.

106 Always loved staying at the Park Hyatt when in Chicago on business, but I always went out for deep dish pie. --- Yeah, we had Giordanos the first night. (We were with a group and that was their choice.) The Park Hyatt looked nice. We were staying at the James when we were on the employer's dime, then the Westin Chicago River on our own dime. We like Westins a lot and that one is nice and quiet.

212 Galliano! That sounds right. Thanks. Maybe that would work with the cannoli filling.

219 "The average Thanksgiving dinner costs as much as 35 food stamp meals"

Dunno about Matty's snobby overpriced hipster neighborhood, but around here there's a crapton of churches and clubs and sports teams giving free Thanksgiving dinners to the less fortunate so they can eat turkey and still sell their EBT for booze.

220 Well, let's not be hasty here. If we charge $5 per, we could buy enough Val-U-Rite to keep us buzzed until January 2017. Plus, upgrade the hamsters. Posted by: DC in Towson might be exaggerating slightly at November 26, 2013 08:57 PM (eQJwb)

Thanksgiving Dinner: 35 food stamp meals

****

49.04

35 "food stamp meals" (wtf is that)...$1.40

average monthly food stamp benefit $133.31 (per person, so for a family of 4...$533.24)

f'in Ezra...someone ought to ask him if he's signed up for Ocare and food stamps yet. let him spend a day with the people he "wants to help".

226 Y-Not: thanks for the Chicago restaurant suggestions - I usually try to make it down there in December for Christmas shopping, although their sales tax is so ridiculous I didn't go last year and might skip it this year. It's a fun place to visit - briefly.

228 You can actually eat pretty well on food stamps if you don't go crazy.

229 I love the apples to orangutans comparison by Klein. Food stamp meals to Thanksgiving dinner. How many meals are in Thanksgiving dinner, counting leftovers? 12? More?

233 For some bizarre reason, my antivirus software started blocking all these websites that I was trying to download files from. I finally figured out how to add them to the do not scan list. I'm a bit worried that I won't have any virus protection.

234 204 Would the antenna cover have to be grounded though?

Not really. It'll leak, but the efficiency will be greatly reduced. Try it with a tablet or laptop and see how much it degraded with just the foil wrap.

If you gotta be within 10-15' to get a signal, then its good enough. You ain't building a Steinway here. Crude is good.

240 Thanksgiving Dinner: 35 food stamp meals Throatpunching Ezra Klein: Priceless Posted by: alexthechick Wow, could this dude get any douchier? How about the cost of Obama left coast fund raising swing, which I'll bet we're paying for. And while we're at it remember the paltry charity contributions Obama and Biden have revealed in their taxes? They give a little more maybe more people could have free Thanksgiving meals which are provided by the thousands by private charity.

My grandmother essentially called me a sissy for owning a 9mm and gave my my grandfather's 1911. That was one of the best Thanksgivings ever.

Yay! for grandmas that know about some guns and give out early Christmas presents.

243 Yes Sir farmer, and a couple others that I can't recall...cute, eh? Posted by: dumbartist Yeah, Cheeseheads doesn't have quite the bite that F...ingIllinoisB*stards does, eh? Only other one I recall is Flatlanders for IL folk. To explain to others, some WI folks are tired of IL tourists in the summer, tho they seem to like their $. Nothing against WI folks, not trying to start anything here. My parents live up there and we are headed up for a good Thanksgiving and scoring some good cheese and butter.

Bloomberg is apparently giving out placemats with "Let's Talk Turkey about guns" to inspire conversation....

That could lead to an expensive black Friday at my house:

Wife - I want a 22lr pistol

Daughter - I want a 38 Spl

Me - you know, I really NEED an AR

Then you need to get holsters, extra mags, lotsa range time for 'gun control' practice...
