So whats everyone doing for Thanksgiving this year? We’re going to my grandmas house, Dad, Mom, Bro, and my two uncles, maybe both their girlfriends, and hopefully my cousin. Lots of good food, and I have a lot to thank God for, so it should be good.
i’m going to walk across the street (literally) and have a big dinner at my cousin’s house with all the other Bozarths. My two brothers, my five uncles (and wives), my three aunts (and husbands), and too many cousins to count from ages 2 to 22 are all going to dine on an almost unneccessary amout of food. During said dinner we’ll laugh and joke to prove that they (or should I say I) am/are the funniest Bozarth. (I think i get extra points for unicycling :))
I was going to start another post about this but this seems as good a thread as any. I wanted to wish everyone a happy holiday from my house to yours.
Remember, the enzyme in turkey, tryptophan, makes you sleepy when you eat too much. So don’t plan on operating heavy machenery* and enjoy your thanksgiving dinner!
*so no cokers or giraffes
100 mile round trip for the big family Thanksgiving feast.
Later it will be this:
'Twas the night of Thanksgiving, but I just couldn’t sleep,
I tried counting backwards, I tried counting sheep.
The leftovers beckoned – The dark meat and white,
But I fought the temptation with all of my might.
Tossing and turning with anticipation,
The thought of a snack became infatuation.
So, I raced to the kitchen, flung open the fridge door
And gazed at the goodies galore.
I gobbled up turkey and buttered potatoes,
pickles and carrots, beans and tomatoes.
I felt myself swelling so plump and so round,
'Til all of a sudden, I rose off the ground.
I crashed through the ceiling, floating into the sky,
with a mouthful of pudding and a handful of pie.
But, I managed to yell as I soared past the trees…
"Happy eating to all; pass the cranberries, please.
May your stuffing be tasty, may your turkey be plump.
May your potatoes ‘n’ gravy have nary a lump,
May your yams be delicious, may your pies take the prize,
May your Thanksgiving dinner stay off of your thighs!!!
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!!!
Off to the Chicago 'burbs, Evergreen Park, to visit with my sister Rhonda and Bil (brother-in-law, actually Jim. I’m Bil, too). We always take the club trailer and set up unicycle shop outside their house on their very lightly traveled street. The unicycles usually draw no less than 20 neighborhood kids to watch us ride and then try out the unis themselves. Rhonda and Jim are quite the popular ones on the holidays because “The Unicycles” are coming.
It’s always a great time.

I’m going to get drunk the nite before, than come home around 4am, than wake up around 9, hopefully with no hangover, I’ll drink plenty of water, don’t worry, than eat breakfast, than 5 minutes later lunch, go pee and/or poop, take a shower, play Medal of Honor Online for a few hours (till it’s time to eat turkey and all that yeah stuffs), than I’ll go back out and hang att my friend of 15 years’ house and eat again, than we’ll probably go do stuff from there, yup. fun stuffs.
Why aren’t you going to unicycle across?
Anyway, I’m going to eat lots of food. Exciting, huh?
!!!TURKEY!!!
i’ll be outside at 7am in the rain slow cooking a bird on my Weber and drinking Vodka tonics backed by beers O’Plenty…
maybe i’ll even check out the game and see how many interceptions Harrington can throw…
I’ll be at my house Eating Thanksgiving dinner with my family and my sisters friend. Eating Turkey, Stuffing, Cranberry sauce, Pumpkin pies I slightly over cooked(hey it’s my first time), Lemon pie, Green bean casserole, Sweet potato Casserole, And whatever else we have. YUMMY!
I’m in Portland Oregon right now (on a dial-up connection, yuck) and will be going down to the heart of Yamhill county wine country in beautiful downtown Hopewell (near McMinville) for Thanksgiving tomorrow.
Ya know that you can get McMenamins Terminator Stout in 22 oz. bottles here in Portland. They don’t do that in Seattle. I get turkey and Terminator and Guinness tomorrow.

you sould have come and stayed at my house.think of all the beers you could have bought me at Nobles Tavern on 17th and Center…they sell Guiness.
Re: J,Childs
Boon’s Treasury is better. They have Terminator Stout.
My wife and son and me and my older sister are going to wake up, have a nice breakfast, goof around for a while, drive into downtown Seattle, get on a cruise ship, and go have a nice Puget Sound cruise complete with full Thanksgiving Dinner and hopefully some orca sightings. We’ll come back into port at sunset, and afterward do no dishes.
The morning after will be my son’s 10th birthday. Good thing he doesn’t read this forum, or else he’d know that he’s getting a Miyata Skycycle 5" giraffe…
Re: Re: J,Childs
they dont have me though…
A 5 inch giraffe? Now that’s a low rider.
Tell Miles happy birthday and congratulations on the 5 inch micro-giraffe.
I’m filling a van de Graaff accelerator with a 150 psig mixture of 80% nitrogen and 20% CO2 for Thanksgiving morning. This a a joyous celebration indeed. In the evening my family will go to Ray’s boathouse for an all you can eat buffet. My wife, Karen, can have T-Day turkey with all the trimmings and I can have all non-traditional Thanksgiving fare for which I am very thankful. My little 23 year old and 27 year old babies and perhaps their other-gender friends will eat bizarre foods and drink huge quantities of organic solvents until they puke, much like the pilgrims did centuries ago.
My mother has come to our house as she does every year. The 3 adults will be having spinach lasagne and Emma will be having veggie tacos. We will all enjoy some tomatos and mozzarella and garlic bread. Dessert will be Sara Lee pound cake topped with banana ice cream. Being a vegetarian isn’t all bad.
At some point Emma and I will practice our juggling and I hope to get a half hour somewhere to ride my new Yuni 20".
Oh yeah, we got to sleep 'til 9:00 am today!
I love Thanksgiving.
Cheers to all,
