So who else is going to be tortured for Thanksgiving?

[Hayabusa Rider]

It's even worse than last time.
Oh yeah, the guy that thinks you can use Google Maps to find deer in real time will be there, but he's invited his parents. Turns out they are felons with records for larceny, B&E, drug dealing, etc. They haven't changed either I gather. Yep, they are invited along with about 30 other people to the inlaws double wide.

Of course my FIL being the fine gentleman he is know I don't take to such people, so after it was decided these low lives would be coming, he called my wife to say he hoped I wouldn't mind.

Well he's old and the mind doesn't work like it should so I'm not upset with him personally, but the situation sucks. These people have a reputation for stealing when invited in. I told my kids that if they want to use their electronics, they have to get them from me, and return them when done so I don't kill the other guests, which is considered bad form.


Anyone else going to bring a weapon to dinner?

I'm bringing my Korean gf and her friend to Thanksgiving with my family. That should be very interesting.

Anyone want to take bets on how many times my redneck family will ask if they're North Korean?

LOL!... Not quite that bad, fortunately. Just dinner with the fiancee's parents. They're good folk tho.

We are having about 12+ people over here. I am well armed.

 

[TecHNooB]

Can I come?

 

[Rastus]

Every stereotype about disfunctional family Thanksgivings is true about my family. The pitched battle starts with Thanksgiving dinner and continues through the new year.

 

[FoBoT]

bummer dude
it'll be just immediate family here, wife and kids only, just the four of us

Seriously, I'm considering taking my katana. I could pretend my FIL was curious and we talked about it. He wouldn't remember. Slicing a grape in two while in mid air would impress the perps.

"it's Christmas and we're all in misery"

 

[linje]

Not me, It's just me and the kid's.Wife is out of town with her family.

 

[Bibble]

For the first time in several years I don't anticipate any problems with those who will be at Thanksgiving. My uncle doesn't get along well with my aunt, but he does his best to avoid her so it shouldn't be an issue unless she is really bad. There won't be any in-laws or guests, just family. My problem is that I have to write 25 pages. School work is my torture.

 

[Exterous]

Well, this most likely won't be boring:

When I last talked to my mom she said, between sobs, "I can't help but feel your wife is driving you away from your family"

My wife's sister's husband flipped out on one of my wife's other sisters, calling her a bitch and saying her mom (therefore his wifes and my wife's mother) is a whore and a horrible mother. His wife defended him saying 'He's stressed from work and the baby'. The rest of the family is not pleased. They will be attending Thanksgiving

We will be splitting our time on Thanksgiving between the two families.....

I tell people I am Korean and I get asked if I am from the North all the fucking time. And I say yes and they freak out.

lol that sucks man

Hahah. I can't even fathom why people would ask that on a regular basis. You should start railing about the decadent Yankee imperialism and how the broken Capitalist society will fall any day now.

 

[moshquerade]

that's what Thanksgiving is all about Charlie Brown

 

[lifeobry]

I do not foresee any issues.

So... you from the good Korea or the bad Korea?

Do you even have room for more bodies?

 

[Minjin]

Luckily I'll be at the country club where making a scene is fairly frowned upon.

 

[BoomerD]

So far, it looks like it's going to be only my wife & I.
YES!!
Peace and quiet...

It looks like my daughter and her 3 house apes are going to spend the day with the "baby daddy's" family, and our son is in Tex-Ass.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed though, because things are always subject to change.

 

[SearchMaster]

Ours will be a large gathering (~20 people), but everyone gets along so it should be fine.

 

[Vonkhan]

dodged the bullet - my gf's mom and brother were supposed to be here but they couldn't make it

Excellent. I left my gold plated Veyron there. Can you check if the staff have wiped off this weeks dust accumulation. There's a good chap.

Dinner with a large portion of my sister-in-law's redneck vegan hardcore 7th Day Adventist family over at my brother's place. I plan on setting the laundry room on fire to cover my escape.
