Much Obliged

Poasted by gekko at 1:16 PM and filed under "Eclectique"

Days like this are made for bloggers because, hello, there's a ready made blogTopic for ya. Where would we be without the obligatory list of things for which to be thankful?

Here's mine:

1. Global Warming; it's a delightful 73 degrees here. If we were having global freezing, I'm sure I'd not be able to wear my bikini as I sit out by the pool sipping an adult beverage while watching my turkey get deep fried.

2. High Oil Prices; I'm figuring I can get a bundle on e-bay for all the used peanut oil, sold to someone who does bio-diesel.

3. Gay Rights; the hetero couple that used to live in the house behind me had, like, a gazillion screeching children that only seemed to increase by a factor of 10 on holidays like Thanksgiving. So thank you, Steve and Jim, for being my new neighbors.

4. Obesity; I can eat all the turkey 'n stuffing 'n cranberry sauce 'n pie I want because no matter how much I eat today, I'm not going to approach the national average, weight-wise.

5. Conservatives; They're doing the whole Family Values thing, which means they are staying the hell off of my roads today, God Bless 'em.

6. Liberals; They're feeling too guilty about using up our precious resources, which means they are staying the hell off of my roads today -- secular good wishes to them all.

7. Black Friday; While millions rush to the stores tomorrow, I will be taking advantage of all the great on-line sales. Let's see, I need a new flat screen television, a GPS device, a ...

8. Christmas; Just think! Only 33 days to go, and then the stores, malls, and radio stations will finally stop playing all that wretchedly repetitious Christmas Music!

9. Illegal Immigration; if all the criminals are flowing over the borders into the US, think how safe the beaches in Mexico are these days!

10. Chocolate; the food of the gods. See "Obesity."

11. Apple, Sony, Kenwood; they made Christmas shopping for the family really easy

12. My family, my friends, my home; so I have to have at least one serious entry!

13. You

I love the thing about being able to eat what you want because your weight doesn't "approach the national average." Mine either. :-)

But dammit, I wish I were sitting by a pool in a bikini ... I'm watching snowflakes flutter down right now. It's kind of pretty, actually.

Happy Thanksgiving to you too!
