Any good family fights durring Thanksgiving?

[_Matt]

Could a little senility be setting in?

Yes, it has been setting in for the past five decades.

All we were missing was the audience screaming, Jerry, Jerry, Jerry!

LOL! That is what I was thinking when reading this. Jerry would be proud.

Sorry about the Thanksgiving disaster.

Nothing with my mother's side, the jackass in the family wasn't there, and he's not bad enough to require telling off. Afterwards, we went to my father's mother's house, and one of my cousins had asked me to bring my PB so we could watch some Family Guy episodes. When we got there, first thing he does is take my PB out of my bag while I get some "Kane Special" (caramel, chocolate pudding, whipped cream. De-****ing-licious ) and proceed to open it and start mucking about. I walk over, and say something along the lines of "can't you wait?" and close the PB. As soon as I walk to the other end of the table, he opens it back up again. I say something similar to "what's your problem?", and he finally closes it when his father tells him to. This wouldn't have been so bad if he hadn't been the one to suggest staying on Rt. 138 on the way back from Lexington, MA the day before, after we played a wedding (half of which was spoken in Swahili ), and I missed the exit to go from 95 South, to...
95 South (don't ask, it's Massachusetts). So instead of it taking about an hour to get home, it took 2 hours. ugh. Pretty tame compared to getting bludgeoned with a pipe.

Well, it wasn't exactly a fight, but...

I'm the resident vegetarian in the family. As I walked in the door and into the kitchen to hug my father hello, he turned on the blender. He wasn't holding the lid terribly tightly, and it flew off, showering my entire left side with... giblet gravy. Eew. All over my new jeans and a nice sweater. *sigh* He felt horrible, but I really found it more funny than anything.

As an additional note, my mother was just lovely and decided to cook me a Tofurky. Turns out, Tofurky isn't... very... good. Frankly, it squeaks like plastic when you chew it. Not a favorite. Next year I'm making a Quorn roast... Mmm.

Can't you eat lettuce and stuff like a good little mouse?
And yes, I'm sure giblet gravy is on the nasty side. Internal organs don't get my appetite going

I always knew Tofurkey would be nasty. I mean, just the name alone is disgusting.

Sorry about the Thanksgiving disaster.

Wasn't so bad, gave us something good to talk about this year. Wouldn't mind getting my 600 bucks back though.

As traditional as the turkey dinner is the good old American family fight on Thanksgiving. For some reason pulling together all the different sides and opinions of the extended family to eat at one table somehow brings out the worst in us. We have been lucky for about the past two years have gone by without incident. Well this year brought about an alcohol induced beligerant fight between several family members that poured out onto the street and brought what was an extremely pleasant evening to an end. anyone else care to share thier families skermishes? how about some funny stories?

Sorry, we save all our frustrations for Christmas. *sigh* I wish I was kidding.

I think it had somthing to do with fruitcake?

No it was a pipe. Although using a fruitcake to bludgen your family to death would be even more effective.
