World's dumbest question: So, what are you having on Thanksgiving?

I swear I've been asked this three times today.

WTF do you think I'm having???? Same thing everyone else eats on that day!

Morons.
 
It's just a question. Some people, such as myself, don't celebrate holidays. We're going out for dinner, but it doesn't involve turkey, smash potato, cranberry sauce, or stuff like that.

Did you just say "smash potato"?
 
I agree. I just ranted about this last night. People keep making small talk and when it gets to Holidays they ask what your plans are.

Any plans for Thanksgiving?
Yeah. I'm going to stay pretty traditional and have a gang bang. What the fuck do you think my plans are? I'm doing what 99% of Americans will be doing!

Same thing happens for Christmas. Any plans for Christmas?
Of course! I'm going to be giving Handjobs to the Homeless, a tradition passed down in my family for 6 generations!

So, as a PSA to anyone making small talk, ask about the weather or the "game" or anything else. Asking someone what they are doing on Thanksgiving is like asking them why they need to know where the bathroom is.

WHAT? Get the fuck out of my country!!! 😛

Lots of folks don't enjoy the "traditional Thanksgiving dinner," and either enjoy alternative feasts...or totally ignore the day and eat whatever they would on any other day.

Baked, if you don't celebrate holidays, do you refuse to let your employer pay you for holidays you don't work?
 
Oh man - I am excited for tomorrows meal. My wife's father's side of the family is old school traditional. The guys sit around, drink beer and watch football while the women cook. Yeah it's traditional food but the food is sooooo damn good. Everything is home made - from the rolls (made from hand kneeded dough), to the ice cream and whipped cream
 
Crab cakes and steaks ... turkey is too traditional. Surf 'n turf always goes over well in my family.

you'd think that... but based on the "what are you making for Thanksgiving" thread... i was a little shocked.

Thanksgiving is Turkey.. stuffing...cranberry sauce, green bean cassarole, sweet potatoes, pumpkin pie.

NOT steak, prime rib, shrimp, dumplings, etc...

Your table should resemble THIS:

our menu

turkey
pumpkin pie, two ways
some other pie
yummy potatoes
green bean casserole
some vegatables?
olives, pickles
deviled eggs
dressing/stuffing
gravy
cranberry sauce
yams/sweet potatoes
 
My mom is hosting Thanksgiving and because she and my dad don't like turkey, they're going to make a capon instead. Actually it'll probably work out fine because capon is really moist and a bit smaller for our smallish gathering.
