You know, I never understood the Gobble thing. Is it supposed to be the sound a turkey makes? Or is it because we all gobble down lots of food? Personally, I figure it about how much turkeys chow down. Voracious seed-eaters the lot of them.

Of course, around here we gots wild turkeys all over the place. And like, only half of them at least are actually drunk at any given time. I am also pretty sure that they own the property, and the town gets to lease it back from them. That would explain their omnipresence on the roads and the laws against shooting them.

Anywho, really looking forward to this. I have a long history of Turkey Days going back to the 90s when I would go to my grandparent’s house for thanksgiving with a large stack of video tapes. I would be parked up there till dinner, swapping tapes. Plan on doing to same tomorrow, but without the VHS. Set my coffee machine to be ready by 6:30. And since it’s also my birthday (don’t ask. Just OLD) I have every right to park my butt and watch Msty’s all day.

Except for food time, for then I gobble.

Same here. Back in the '90s I was the only MSTie in the house so I had to sneak to the TV during the family Thanksgiving to catch bits of the marathon. So worth it.

Bring on Turkey Day! Always a tradition around here to catch at least a few episodes before and after the family dinner.

ProTip: tell your family you are having dinner with friends, and tell your friends you are having dinner with family. Then you get all the marathon to yourself.

I’ve been running this scam for, I dunno, 15 years? It’s fantastic once you get past the crippling loneliness. (Another ProTip: alienate yourself from everyone for the rest of the year, so that Thanksgiving doesn’t feel any different.)

I can attest to this. This strategy has proven successful in a number of TGIF sitcoms.

The first time I did it, there was a sitcom-esque conundrum I’d gotten myself into. I had made the mistake of also taking off additional days before Thanksgiving, and at some point during the week I was like “I’m really super bored. I should call up a friend to hang out” and then I realized “oh no, TODAY is Thanksgiving! I absolutely can’t do that.” So I had to stay by myself for another two days minimum. It was a nightmare having only myself as company for a week. But as it turns out, that prepped me for 2020 and beyond. I was a trendsetter!
