I had never noticed that the Smoke & Munch on Putney Road in Brattleboro, Vermont has a mobile unit. I do not know what that sunglasses-wearing hot dog is doing behind that bush that is causing his Pepsi to spill over, nor do I want to.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING, MUNCH'S MOBILE HOT DOG!

My take on "Thanksgiving Movies" is that they don't have to be about the holiday but are movies that get associated with by individual viewers and/or their families for various reasons.
So for me, it's Blast from the Past and anything I watched at Pinehurst Drive-In as a kid.

On Thanksgiving Eve 1999, Lil Bro came back from Amherst late and suggested we catch a midnight showing of The World Is Not Enough.
He later confessed he wanted to see my reaction to the cringe-unnedo dialogue -- especially the final line -- and I didn't disappoint him.

34 years ago today I walked out of classes and met a HS friend at Malden Station, after hitting up Excalibur Hobbies for a Champions sourcebook.
We had lunch at a Chinese place and I depressed the hell out of her because I was reeling about getting abruptly dumped by my GF two days earlier.

24 years ago I went with my friend and his then girlfriend to see the film "Black Knight" and then, afterwards, tried in vain to find anywhere that was open the night before Thanksgiving to eat. So a happy Black Knight day to you all.

I am enjoying the spectacle of folks who can’t seem to grasp how much folks hate them make plans as if they have an eternal mandate.
Very fitting for this era of catastrophic unforced errors.

“Why is RFK Jr so convinced he’s right?”
Because he’s a child of extreme privilege, turbocharged by a fucked up family who indulged and excused his worst behaviors instead of seeing he got the help he needed to treat his deep seated trauma. All the drugs he’s done haven’t helped him either.

In my senior year, the HS hired a science dept. chair from one of the rich Essex County exurbs and she started up a Science Club/Team to compete in events with all the rich kid schools in the region.
I joined because my friend Scott did and it was interesting to visit other, better funded schools.

My father’s youngest sister, who was only five years older than me moved in with us in 1980, and she and her friends had “sacred” songs which they’d go dead silent when they came on the radio.
“Walk on the Wild Side” was one of them.

Anyway, it's fascinating to me how Warhammer and World of Darkness triggered an aesthetic transformation in the scene through the 1990s.
