When I was a young lad I loved 'pigs in a blanket' to an unholy degree. I want to say I was 6 the year that, in trying to figure out where all the 'pigs' went, my aunt discovered that I had lined my pockets with sandwich bags and I had them stuffed to the brim with my favorite holiday snack

One Thanksgiving long ago, I let our dog out. She usually stayed in the yard. When I looked out to see if she was ready to come in, she was holding a steaming pumpkin pie in her mouth that our neighbors must have set outside to cool. My mother said to throw it in the trash before anyone saw!

My 1st full-time job was at a teeny local company, less than 10 ppl. They did a Thanksgiving potluck lunch before the holiday. A manager brought an aspic of tomato soup and baby shrimp. We thought it was a prank (it was not)
I still shudder. The aspic is probably still shuddering somewhere in hell

Mother-in-law realized she didn't have tiny marshmallows to to the sweet potatoes so she grabbed the comically oversized campfire marshmallows she did have. Later she asked someone to take the sweet potatoes out and they were like "the only thing in there is the stuffing and rolls."

Italian American family story. My sisters brought pecan pie and we all thought it tasted odd
but not bad necessarily and then it turned out they used garlic butter instead of regular and we didn’t even notice.

My dear Aunt Rita used to make the BEST homemade sugar cookies with icing. One year, God rest his soul, Uncle Pat put a can of gasoline/kerosene in the trunk with her cookies. Have you ever bitten into a gasoline cookie? She was in tears, Aunts trying to convince her we couldn't smell or taste it.

Wait, can I throw in a Passover story? You know how you’re supposed to have a horseradish for the bitter herb and eat a chunk of it? One year everyone’s munching on the horseradish waiting for the heat to kick. Nada. Nothing. My mom realized she bought a turnip by accident. Never lived it down.

Looks like somebody's just reslized that, if they're not REALLY CAREFUL, this man could be the next President of the United States. 😏
Sen. Mark Kelly has released a statement.
"If this is meant to intimidate me and other members of Congress from doing our jobs and holding this administration accountable, it won't work. I've given too much to this country to be silenced by bullies..."

The Neanderthal thing is very interesting.
Humans do it, monkeys do it, even polar bears do it. Now researchers have reconstructed the evolutionary origins of kissing.
The mouth-on-mouth kiss likely evolved >21 million years ago, in a common ancestor of humans & great apes.

First kiss dates back 21 million years, say scientists
A new study looks at how the mouth-on-mouth smooch came into being, and concludes that Neanderthals also kissed.
