Holiday Open Thread
Happy Thanksgiving! Hope everyone enjoys their Thanksgiving, dinner, and everything else. If you want to improve the taste of leftovers, spray water on them before microwaving. I asked AI image generator to create an image of a Thanksgiving dinner. The image generator did not disappoint.

FIRST?
Let me be the FIRST to rejoice in the FIRSTNESS of The Thanksgiving HOT FIRST! May His Blessing be upon all of us as we stuff ourselves with the bounty of our Labors.
The Luck of my Irish Ancestors were upon the Bunny of The Guns as he took a break from the preparations of the Feast, just to check the TAH Headlines and, WHOMP!, There it was, an orphan HOT looking for someone to lay claim to being FIRST!
Speaking of preparations…Prepare
Not first, but properly caffeinated, is there a door prize for the second place contestants?
Yeah, it’s in the ladies room…
Always a tough distinction at All-Points Logistics.
Along with applications to… outta Hong Kong:
Consolation prize is a year worth of outdated Red Hat Software.
Ain’t like the 2nd rate warrant bought through All-Points Logistics covers it anyway.
Happy Thanksgiving, King, and rule well from the Turkey Throne!
Happy Thanksgiving to all here assembled. Enjoy the day, enjoy the food, enjoy the time spent with friends and family.

Hack Stone continued his annual Thanksgiving Eve tradition of viewing Season 4 Episode 11 of The Bob Newhart How, Over The River And Through The Woods, followed by a screening of Planes Trains & Automobiles.
Unfortunately, Hollywood has run out of ideas a long long time ago, so they want to do a remake of PT&A starring Will Smith and Kevin Hart. Hack Stone is more than confident that this version will be just as successful as the female version of Ghostbusters. The characters will be tweaked just a little bit, with this version having the character Neil Page as the Director of Media Relations and the Del Griffin character is the Vice President of a proud but humble woman owned business that sells outdated software to the Federal Government. Looking forward to the scene where the 1989’s vintage Jaguar spontaneously bursts into flames.
Hey groggy, good morning and fuck you and thank you to all you Weedles of the Dicks.
I am thankful for all of you, ice holes, and bastages.
Don’t forget to tell your local surveillance agent, Fred or Steve happy Thanksgiving as well. They’ve worked very hard this year watching
overus. 😳🤔😜Happy thanksgiving you all
saw this kitty the other day with two juveniles in tow
I wonder what they are having for thanksgiving dinner
In addition to posting photos of birds, Ex-PH2 also posted photos of her cat. I would not be surprised if she would have liked this photo.
I sent her a few over the years
My favorite was a mountain lion jumping from a ponderosa
Wish I could find the pics I had of a mountain lion walking the border fence. Looked like he was gonna eat us, truck and all.
Found a news article with the pics.

I remember this when we lived in Tucson years ago
didn’t that critter land on one of the one of the vehicles causing some serious damage
or am I thinking of something else
Or… lost cat, had several cans of tuna and a bath, seems friendly, etc.:
Proves that the ad for “hot cougars in your area “ is a real thing!
A blessed & peaceful Thanksgiving to all of you TAHellions.
May God’s peace and comfort fill your hearts and lives.
Never forget.
Oh, the humanity!
With God as my witness, I thought turkeys could fly.
1st try at the AI Image Generator… for “Stolen Valor”.
The bottom ribbons look like restaurant awards,
a collective Meal Team Six.
Enjoy your Thanksgiving.
Bing AI image generator did not like, “stolen” so I got this image:
AI… which can be a tool for “ick”:

Transgender characters at the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. Thousands have signed a statement/petition objecting to the inclusion of a couple of transgender related characters in what is supposed to be a family friendly event.

I think they ignored the petition, I think I saw one guy with a beard and breasts, or a gal with a beard.
Is Karine Jean-Pierre correct regarding prices going down for Thanksgiving dinner, gas, airline tickets, car rentals, toys, and televisions? Not according to X users… She received a “readers added context” label to her post, indicating that food has not decreased in price. Maybe prices were higher earlier this year, then dropped going into the later part of November providing a reference that Jeane-Pierre could use for her statement. Without context, it would appear that she’s trying to claim that prices have gone down based on long run trends.

FIRST NINETEENTH
Forgot to mention that I was in the Great Lakes Boot Camp Barracks on Friday November 22, 1963 when the message came over the loud speaker that Pres. Kennedy was shot. So instead of classes, we had the day off for Rope Yarn Sunday.. Yesterday was 60 years ago that it happened. Forgot all about it until WFTL 850AM radio mentioned it.
Don’t remember any of it. I was just a wee lad of 364 days.
I remember all TV stations showing something I wasn’t interested in. I was 3, and my mom was bawling her eyes out.
I was a high school student in a mechanical drafting class when they announced it over the school PA system.
I was a HS junior in mechanical drawing class.
In NYC high schools, we called it mechanical drawing 1 & 2. The students taking the courses sat on the left or right of the teachers desk because the teacher used to spray out saliva when he talked.
Happy Birthday.
Many thanks!
I was in the 6th grade and portable TV sets were a new thing. We had one in the classroom and saw the day unfolding. Hard to imagine why but I was a Goldwater fan in those days and I liked Ike, too. My teacher that year was a Republican and was probably my favorite teacher of all.
Never did trust Nixon but knew that LBJ was a jackass from the first time I heard him speak.
I was in 5th grade – I remember the sense of grief, loss, and uncertainty.
Just a bit curious, did anyone else run the Nvidia driver update to version 581.17 dated 11/14/23 and then have the computer start acting weird? Or is it just me.
What fuXX things up as good as Software Updates do? Might as well buy outdated Red Hat Software from the trunk of a junked-out Jaguar.
I have to believe that Nvidia is using ex-microsoft coders. The software is of the approximant utility. Makes the little guy who lives inside the box to decide to run the buss into the ditch.
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
How do you access AI image generator? Is there a website, an app, or what?
That’s a creative image!
In liberal America, AI generator access you.
Bill Gates, Schwab and Soros’ whole idea:

Great. The three motherfuckers I’d like to see tap-dancing on the end of a rope. What could POSSIBLY go wrong?
The rope could break.
Listen Junior, it would be ME sourcing the rope, supervising the construction of the gallows, testing the trap, and taking every bit of slack out of that first-grade hemp rope. Ain’t a got-damn thing gonna go wrong with THAT rope party!
Oh wait, did I forget to tie their legs together when they were on the gallows? Ahhhh fuck. 🤣

Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy Black Friday to all of the Adorable Deplorables, and condolences to those few Washington Commanders (Deadskins) fans who lost their Christmas money betting on them yesterday. Going forward, this game will be remembered as the Thanksgiving Day Massacre.
On the bright side, if you still have a few dollars left and are looking for that perfect gift for your loved ones, nothing says Merry Christmas better than some Red Hat and Y2K software. Imagine the looks on your children’s faces when they open the wrapping paper and discover a 1994 CD of Linux software. What’s old is new, and they will remember this Christmas for years to come.
