• Provide the person next to you a loaded handgun and instruct them to shoot you in the head if you eat too many yams.
• Instead of “passing” dishes, run around the table with them at top speed.
• Gnawing on a raw sweet potato during the meal will take the edge off your hunger.
• You can burn a bunch of post-meal calories if you can figure out some way to do bicycle kicks while napping.

• In the spirit of the season, let’s all take a moment of quiet reflection and give thanks for my blog.
very funny! This is my favorite, probably because this was the one thing I was gonna allow myself a dollop of...now if I just remember this, maybe not so much:

Thank you Jack, for your bounteous goodness in giving us this blog. In gratitude, I apply this whip to the back of your thighs to make you run faster while I sit in the wagon you are pulling.
ReplyDeleteHappy one to you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHilarious, thanks for all these "helpful" tips. ;) You know what Turkey Day means--time to start getting serious about that Christmas shopping! Here's an idea, maybe even for a stocking stuffer: shaving razors. We're a shaving company called Dorco and we provide high quality razors for a fraction of the cost you're probably paying now. Give them a try and see how smooth a shave you can get, all for 30-70% less than the cost of leading brands. Check out our prices for yourself at DorcoUSA.com. Thanks again for a great post!
ReplyDeleteSpam you very much!
DeleteThank you for your blog! I like the puppy rating system. Honestly, Thanksgiving dinner looming ahead is scaring me. I do not trust myself around pies. We have 16 kids, 15 of them will be here for dinner, so there will be pie. If it were healthy, I would eat pumpkin pie for breakfast, lunch, and dinner until it was gone and not around to taunt me anymore. Wait, I HAVE done that. Here's hoping the kids help me more this year! Eat that pie, kids! Good luck at dinner, perhaps use a small plate:)
