ParticipantHowdy y’all!
It’s that day here in Amorica, hereafter known as “Black Ratsgiving Day”! 😆
Make sure to blast that tune a couple of times during your celebration today, it’s sure to enliven any party and/or holiday din din…or at least spark off much conversation and historico-political food for thought, yes?
After dinner and football, maybe that episode of “The Simpsons” about Jebediah Springfield’s mythic origins will be on…

ParticipantHowdy right back atcha’, Takavl
Took your advice about Ratsgiving. 😆
Am no longer welcome at Mom & Dad’s house.
Brother now looks at me kinda sideways. 🙄
Cousins and uncles are having fits (okay, not that last one. Just wanted to see if you were paying attention.)
Please advise.

ParticipantPredictors of doom think this is it? 😆
What — yer fam ain’t “Simpsons” fans, huh?
Sorry about your recent domestic development, what with the parents showing you the door and the brother giving you the seldom-seen but much feared “side eye.” You can blame it all on me.
Or Hornsby. That’s it, it’s all HIS fault. I recommend that they sue for defamation of beloved national myth.

ParticipantI’m afraid there will be no lawsuit. My “clan” is too busy suing the National Education Association for turning me into………….A DEMOCRAT!!!!! 😯 😯 😯

ParticipantHeh. Yours too, huh?
(Don’t let my current location fool you. I’m not from VT, originating from a cowtown just north of Tampa, Flurda. I realize to some that ain’t so bad, or good, FL south of the Talla-Gainesville book-learnin’ bordur, but still…)
What did Bubba say? “I feel yore pain…” Is it Colbert that said “Reality has a well-known liberal bias”?
I tell my family: “Hey, don’t be mad at me. I got my values from you!” 😮 Yes, they give me the side-eye. I just could never suffer cognitive dissonance gladly. Only harmonic dissonance.
Viva la NEA! Viva las escuelas publicas! Viva la revolucion!

ParticipantWow! The Simpsons seem to be all the rage these days. It wasn’t that long ago that Dave Rich let me know via a Facebook broadcast that Lisa Simpson was part of the 2012 London Olympics logo. Unfortunately, I now cannot see that logo without seeing the image that Dave’s posting conjured up. Bravo, Olympians! Talk about “chariots of fire….”

PS Blame God, not the NEA. You were graced with a working brain, and you had the audacity to use it. Look how you turned out

Yes, good Lord, just LOOK how I turned out. Forty-eight years old, can’t find a job (I’m now down to applying at the burger joints), has to take a handful of meds just to get out of bed, and has to “log on”
in order to chat with her friends. 😥Let the Pity Party begin!!!!!

ParticipantMVF,
I think you turned out great! If you think your “Ratsgiving” was tension-filled,imagine being married to a politically conservative spouse! The conversations around our dinner table get very lively…
How did that song during the Presidential campaign go:”My mama’s for Obama,but my daddy likes McCain”? That’s our household!Jackie
