Jon Carson and David Plouffe, Virgin America, HTC, Netbooks, The Dew, The High Life, Zins, DirecTV, Windows Home Server, The Champions of Europe, The Barnacle, Gossip Girl, and the Rock Band series. But most of all, that I live in a country where 66,882,230 people elected a new President. My President.

i'm thankful for all the opportunities i've had this year to hear great music - in small dingy clubs to huge outdoor festivals. i'm very thankful for all the great friends i've somehow managed to surround myself with. oh, and HTC. definitely thankful for HTC too.

Not thankful for much this year?

You're so cute when you're frustrated, dear.

you see, as an upstanding american, i would not do such a thing. do you think the legion of left wing morons who actually did this for the last 8 years had fun?
-
perhaps a better way of putting it would have been to say "Our President" instead of "My President." "my" implies the ability to make an individual choice- that is to say, there may be no logical error in manimtired saying he isn't his president, simply because manimtired didn't pick obama as his president. but obama certainly will be the president of the united states and, as even sweetcell was able to grasp, we are all american citizens and he will be our president.

my partner, my job, friends, my ability to eat food and poop it out, phish reunion with tickets and hotel lined up, this place, ween's live at cat's cradle, video games, outside, inside, iron chef (original, not that horrible american version) . . . oh yeah, alternate levels of reality where the only exit/enter is by portals or people you should really stay away from.

Manimtired completely hijacked smackies thread.

Originally posted by very sonick:

that made me think of the scene in raising arizona where john goodman and william forsythe run after nicholas cage and holly hunter screaming "wait, he's our baby too!"
i'll come up with my thankful list sometime soon. . .sneak peek- a baby on the way and those five old men sitting across the street from the capitol. :)

I just didn't want to speak for you, but I will remember you typed this on Thursday when I toast to "Our President" with my glass from Orin Swift Cellars...
And yes sonick, back to the thank you's....
-
im thankful for _still_ having a job, although considering our bonuses just got a lot smaller, the job could be next :(

No, seriously, the REAL countdown clock until Venerable's baby daughter turns 18... (http://www.7is7.com/otto/countdown.html?year=2027&month=3&date=17&hrs=0&ts=24&min=0&sec=0&tz=local&lang=en&show=dhms&mode=t&cdir=down&bgcolor=%23CCFFFF&fgcolor=%23000000&title=Countdown%20To)

I'm thankful for that most socialist of institutions, the state-supported library, for offering me gainful employment in these uncertain times.
-
I'm extra thankful this year for the 9:30 staph, who've helped me in ways they don't even know.
-
So many things...
My new scarf, my girlfriend, the Detroit Red Wings, Jessica Rose finding steady work, Lifetime's fabulous miniseries on Coco Chanel, relatively good health, the Nate/Jenny relationship on Gossip Girl, our new 1000 thread count sheets, Michigan's boosters having the money to buy out the abortion that is RichRod, the upcoming Vampire Weekend shows...
-
you listed your new scarf before your girlfriend? i'm sure she's thrilled.
-
I stand by my list.
-
Maybe it's Hermes or something.
-
My better half, Obama winning, a friend or two, and all the great concerts I saw this year..This really was a great year concertwise for me... And thanks to the new camera I bought in May I actually have a record of most of them....
Financially/"career"wise a very poor year...disconcertingly so..
-
You know what? While I still stand by my belief that spending all the capital the democrats have gained under Bush II on Obama was a mistake, I am absoultely glad we no longer have a Republican in office. The prospect of Biden and Hillary being the VP/Secretary of State has me downright giddy. As does Napolitano as AG.

I'm thankful for family, friends, and health; for living in a great city; and for living in a country that made a difficult choice to do the right thing.
Oh, and I'm also thankful that in real life, I rarely have to deal with conversations interrupted by Republican and libertarian boors.

HaHA! Sorry couldn't help myself being West Virginian and all.
I'm thankful for the human beings around me who make me glad to be alive.
I bet a what are you pissed about thread would be off the charts.
Happy Thanksgiving Holiday to all ya. Even you Flawd, wherever you are. Rock on my friend!
Hope it's all you you guys expected and then some.
p.s. I believe Walkonby's last statement prior to Heather's post and Heather's following post listing Walkonby are both incorrect.
However, I'm thankful they're both here.

i dont think he was referring to people like yourself who have intelligent conversation that may just be in opposition. Seems to me it was more directed at people who just say stuff like "wut" "gtfo" and "stfu" as their replies.
I wouldn't classify you as a "boo-er".

A boor, no. A boo'er, absolutely. And his party earned the place for him.

what is really pathetic is that he probably thinks you are being serious. the same advanced stupidity that makes him say his idiocies in the first place also prevents him from appreciating or even noticing irony and sarcasm.
Would have been safer to go with "lol"

almost as pathetic as how you cant keep me out of your posts. LOL!
-
I would say Manimtired fits the classic qualifications of troll.
Bede, I have no trouble with opposing viewpoints, but I don't have much patience for people who can't talk about anything other than politics, and that includes people I agree with. There's a time and a place (and a thread) for everything.
-
im not the one who brings obama up in every thread, you ding dong. lolzorz.
-
I'd be very thankful if y'all would take your petty squabbling to another thread.
-
just because someone brings up obama doesn't automatically mean you need to respond to it....
-
or maybe it does....

I am thankful that i just watched the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade get rickrolled.
by Astley himself!!!

I just watched the youtube video of this. It was anticlimactic. If I was there I would have gone bonkers though.

That there is a place for bad spellers like me on the Trump legal team!

I don’t know how I did it
But I did not hear wonderful Christmas time once!
For this I am thankful

While that's generally regarded as the most awful holiday song I think I detest 'Last Christmas' even more.

I don’t know how anyone can detest Last Christmas! It’s literally a perfect song.

Ive always thought of it as a Boxing Day song. Guy gives girl his heart for Christmas and then the very next day she re-gifts it.
-
I am an unironic lover of Christmas music (it's almost all I listen to after Thanksgiving), and while I don't love Last Christmas, it's alright. But i detest that Jimmy Eat World cover...why skip over all of the verses!!!! It's madness!!!!

How is that even possible?

I dunno. I thought it was a fine song until I kept hearing it this year and I realized how repetitive it is. Maybe I was just in a bad mood at the time.
And the self-appointed 'Queen of Christmas' can rot in hell. Everyone knows the queen will always be Darlene Love.

When she was on Colbert she denied ever calling herself that.

That's the thing. She didn't have to. She just is.
Anyway, back to the topic at hand. Not a lot to be thankful for this year but I'm sure glad I had nice diversions with my hometown sports teams. So great to see a competitive Orioles team after all the losing.
