Thanks For The ONTs

Happy Thanksgiving! We here at the HQ want you to know how thankful we are for you, our loyal band of Morons. Not only do you provide a wealth of knowledge that means just about any question asked in the comments will be answered authoritatively, but the HQ has become a second family for many of us, from the comradery of a MoMe to the remarkable offer of someone to fly halfway across the country and drive a big class A 1500 miles, just because it will make another Moron's life easier. This place has been like that for decades now, and in our crass modern age, that'll do for a miracle until something better comes along.

I have some Thanksgiving related content, but I suspect it's going to be a slow night as everyone is drowsing in a Tryptophan induced stupor. I'd be interested in hearing what y'all are thankful for, along with a recounting of what your Thanksgiving dinner consisted of, and any stories you may have of awkward/funny moments that occurred before or after dinner.

Feast

I made a lot of food for just 3 people. We invited Hogmartin, but he couldn't come so we took him a plate of leftovers afterwards. Still going to have a lot of turkey sandwiches (on white bread with canberry (not a misspelling) sauce – YUM!) over the next few days. Gingy insists on the traditional turkey for Thanksgiving, but Christmas dinner is my choice and I usually make prime rib. How about you?

Fight! Fight! Fight!

Jesse Kelly and Matt Walsh are having an argument over turkey

It's the Thanksgiving debate no one asked for but everyone wanted:

Conservative commentator Jesse Kelly got out his flamethrower, as usual, and decided to divide the country over the subject of turkey because it's a slow news day and his social engagement was probably down.
That's when another guy paid to argue on the internet, The Daily Wire's Matt Walsh, decided to step into the ring:

So where do you stand? I like turkey well enough, although given my druthers I'd make beef, as indicated above, but some folks can't stand it. One year I'd like to give a real original Thanksgiving dinner a try and make lobsters, but the wife is a flatlander and doesn't like most seafood. Means more for me.

Wrong, Wrong, Wrong, Wrong. Wrong, Wrong, Wrong, Wrong.

Scientist makes bold claim that the best way to cook a steak is in a microwave

Needless to say, the article got destroyed by everyone with taste buds. Here's @ChefGruel

All I can say is that I made steak this week and was devastated to find out I'd done it wrong.

Badly cooked steak. How did I ever manage to choke it down?

The next day the NY Post tried to make amends: Eating red meat and dairy could help fight cancer: ‘intriguing’ new study. Sorry Post. Too little, too late.

Christmas Gift Idea

Moron author has a book coming out in a few weeks: Everything Is Ice Cream: A Tale of an Old Man and His Tongue

He's one of the cleverer wordsmiths that I know, it might be worth picking up.
