Jeez... sad all around. :( I feel bad for the guy's wife...dealing with the loss of husband (to jail), and son (to husband).

My dad threatens to kill my brother whenever he visits, but would never actually follow through on those threats. Thanksgiving was good and peaceful for me...only minor dramas. :) How was everyone else's?

I spent the day by myself. Just how I like it. A frozen turkey dinner and surfing for good porn. That is how I spent my day.

It could have been worse. Dad could have carved up sonny just like a turkey.

Mine was great. Definitely better than this poor family.
Plus I outdrove Tiger Woods.

It seems like more people complain about Thanksgiving and Christmas each year. Should we just stop having them? Will that make people happy?

"People" are spoiled. Smile, keep your mouth shut when Uncle Dunce says something stupid. It'll all be over at the end of the day. Oh, and don't kill anyone.

Every Thanksgiving spent with my in-laws makes me thankful that we live a 6-hour drive away from them.

RMM, what deffinition of "drive" did you mean, here? Was this a reference to recent news?

This reinforces my firm belief that every single human being on this earth needs to attend at least five counseling sessions to learn how to appropriately act on emotions!

I ponder what the family life was like when the son was living at home. Poor mom.

@RMM - Oh, how I love a good pun. :-)

Too bad there aren't any on this page.

Thanks Chief. I made me laugh...
I think ! is on her .

[LimeGreenLizard]

RMM is in fine form today. Then again she never isn't.
;~)

A town named Security? A chain saw couldn’t cut that irony.

And he looks like he’s still pissed of in his mug shot.

According to the guy's pic, this must have been an argument over a little dark meat.

Hey, RMM baby,
Those of us who follow golf know that Tiger's driving has always been erratic.
Hmmm, will he fire his Caddy, Steve now?

[RockyMtnMac]

Damn, AmVet! You just outed me as a not-a-golfer!
I just couldn't resist the pun.
How about if I just take care of the beer cart? lol

[Saxo Grammaticus]

I wonder if anyone, anywhere can do anything to get this crazy old man's attention. Gunned down his own son. What an asshole.

[Navy Chief]

@AmVet - I think his Caddy is already fired, since it was an Escalade that he crunched into the tree. 'Course, if that's what you meant, anther nice pun!

@RMM - Either that, or she's just a cranky b**ch.

[Sheila]

@NC-I think the latter.

[Reno]

My turkey day was good, thanks!

Geez. I thought my grandma telling me three times that my mother needs to replace her toilet for one with an elevated seat was pretty much awful!

[Krash]

Pretty good thread here.
Sad story, A few Jokers and one or two "assholes"...
sounds like a typical Amurican extended-Family Holiday gathering.
How 'bout 'dem Lions?
