Um, <i>Lorena</i> Hickok was Permanently Most Awesome First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt's squeeze. So who's the giggling fox up there with Mamie?

That makes it perfect for Thanksgiving, most of which is bogus. But it makes us happy.

My personal favorite TG traditional dessert:

<i>Tell Me Again Why We are Driving Nine Hours to See People We Both Hate Spiced Pumpkin Pie</i>

1 ½ cups seething resentment

2 Tbs I thought you said we were just going to do a quiet Thanksgiving at home this year

1 ¾ cups don’t start with me, just don’t

10 minutes racing through the aisles of a seedy gas station convenience store off of I-95 just as it is closing

1 pumpkin pie purchased with wadded up dollar bills you were saving for tolls

And it wouldn't be TG without Mom's famous<i> "Everyone Get the Hell Out of the Kitchen Right Now Before I Kill All of You Cranberry-Orange Dressing" </i>

Good times....

Every First Lady gets a lot of sh*t heaped on her.

I love that move too! No one in my family likes it, but I don't care!

That FLORIDA, baby.

The Everglades were a happening rockin' far out place with the soothing croons of Sedaka wafting through the palmetto and cypress trees!

Really? I like to watch it when I need to feel better. We're both talking about While You Were Sleeping, right? Funny, how people can have very different reactions to the same thing.

Yes! When they keep missing the connection it just kills me.
