Midweek Open Thread

| November 25, 2020

Who can’t wait to dig in? (crystalinks.com/Fine Art America)

Haven’t had one of these in a while, but considering the long weekend that’s coming, here goes. I was considering posting the weekend open thread today, but many people still have to work in one or a combination of the next few days. Enjoy your midweek and, if you’re traveling, be safe.

FIRST

Damn. Shoulda known there would be a OT.
Caught sippin bourbon…

Slow Joe

WTF?

I thought you were prohibited, in all caps, from participating in the open threads.

How many first do you have already? 3055 million? Why are you so greedy?

Let the rest of the people play this game. You have to share your success.

We are going to have to strongly regulate the Open Thread and fundamentally transform it.

And redistribute 5th/77th FA winnings.

Damned Communist.
String him up.
Who brought the string?

SFC D

Segundo!

SFC D

The plaque for second place is in the ladies room.

Fjardeson

OK, Iceman. 🙂

Is that a Pecan Pie in the background?

Ex-PH2

No, that is a pumpkin pie and on the sidebar, a chocolate cake of some kind.

KoB

Mi’Lady, not sure, could be wrong, and God forbid I challenge the Queen Lioness of TAH, but…Imma thinking, the pie right behind the ham could be pumpkin (or sweet tater down heah), the chocolate cake to the right on the sidebar, and to the left on the sidebar by the six unit candle could be the pecan pie that 26 is seeing. It may possibly be an apple, but I am leaning toward it being pecan. Trying to blow up the image blurs it out making it hard to decide between pecan or lattice top apple.

We may have to get thebesig to look at the original and make a ruling. Or the ninja. Where is that one anyway? ninja family is conspicuous in their absence.

26Limabeans

There is something sticking out of the top. Could be roasted apples
but imma gonna stick with giant pecans waiting for a dollop.

UpNorth

I’m going with Dutch Apple pie for that one in the back.

Toxic Deplorable Racist SAH B Woodman

Sooo……I guess I’m Fourth?

Welp, I let it sit there for a minute or 2 before I posted anything. Square bidness, I had just jumped into the archives to review when the Open Thread dropped last year. Hondo dropped a Weekend Open Thread right about 1:05pm (that’s 1305 hrs to you 24hr clock types) so Imma thinking is he gonna do it again this year, or will the besig do a MOT or will he do a WOT this pm near 1600hrs. Hit the backup button and WHOMP! there it was, a TAH Open Thread, albeit, a Midweek Open Thread V a Friday Weekend Open Thread or even a Holiday Open Thread. Tho ALL TAH Open Threads are EARNED NEVER GIVEN, the most prestigious is the WOT. It is the ONLY Open Thread that is listed by Claw himself in the Coveted Book of Open Threads. Being as the opening scene of Gunsmoke was coming up, it is only the Luck of My Black Irish Heart and the Blessing of Man Above that enable the King of Battle, THE King of First, to endeavor to persevere and claim this FIRST.

An extra ration of Cheese Grits with Bacon and Shrimps along with cat heads stuffed with Honey Baked Ham and a slab of Southern Pecan Pie with Vanilla Bean Ice Cream (it’s 75 degrees F here) for all hands. Brandy and seegars in The Colonel’s Quarters at 1600 hrs.

Fjardeson

Seventh?

Fjardeson

Top 10 at least!

wow, I read this post and comments, go away, drop by an hour later… and it’s still at 12 comments.

Happy Thanksgiving to each of you here!

I hope you have a wonderful day tomorrow, and great weekend ahead. I also hope, you get to share it with your families, friends.

Sgt K

Just a FYI. “Band of Brothers” will be showing on the History Channel all day Friday. Think it starts at 0700 central.

Gen. Flynn was pardoned today.

UpNorth

Yes, he was. BZ President Trump. And a happy Thanksgiving to everyone. Enjoy your time with your family.

Graybeard

Something else to be thankful for – and the libs are whining about it.

SFC D

Liberal tears. Excellent lube for the AR-15. You know, the one you lost in that boating accident.

UpNorth

How’d you know about that terrible accident? I was over the deepest part of the lake when that rogue wave came up and smacked my skiff and battered my boat. Lost everything that wasn’t tied down.
Took a while, but I got the motor restarted and made it home.

Toxic Deplorable Racist SAH B Woodman

Battered your boat?
Did it fry up well?

UpNorth

Why, yes, yes it did. Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

David

Mobil-1 works well too.

Mason

But is President Trump going to pardon himself?

The MSM keeps yelling that at him.

Graybeard

Top 20-ish.

We had our Thanksgiving celebration on Monday at the GB Compound. Having multiple families competing for our grandchildren on Thanksgiving gets us somewhat creative – and the GB Family Motto is Simper Gumby or something like that.

Favorite 2nd Daughter-in-law made a butternut squash pie to rival the pumpkin pie, which was our 2nd granddaughters’ FIRST pumpkin pie attempt – and very good at that.
Favorite Son-in-law did the Turkey, as has become traditional here, as well as a pot of gumbo to die for.
Favorite 1st Daughter-in-law did her squash casserole, which was, as always, fantastic.
Cornbread dressing, green-beans with bacon and onions, mashed potatoes, – more food than we could eat.

AND, for the FIRST time since March, I got in to see my brother in the nursing home. He’s doing well, too. He turns 65 on Friday, so…

God bless all you ‘weeds and ‘weedettes here, and give Him thanks that we live in the USA

The False Commander “Phony” Phillip D. Monkress (CEO of All-Points Logistics)continues to avoid calls seeking clarification of his Native American, Law Enforcement and Navy SEAL claims.

I am curious as to what indigenous people affiliations he will claim to further enrich himself this holiday season?

I will say this though. Phildo and his nefarious senior staff do/does not take a day off. Stealing from the government and the American taxpayer is based on nonsense and lies is a full time job that demands full attention.

Phildo is a turkey, who loves stuffing and enjoys gravy in his mouth. Thanksgiving is the holiday for him!

Yea! Lurch “Swift Boat Commando” Kerry is back. Biden just picked him to be his climate change czar. Soon we will all be waiting for the all-electric semi-trucks to bring our ration of Soylent Green.

would-be Commander in Thief of the Reject Retread Regime.

Game of Drones

If The Steal succeeds, this is going to be an -epic- Fuster Cluck.

KoB

I sent a linky to mason the other night showing Uncle Joe’s Cabinet proposals. Nothing but oblowme retreads…ALL of them.

Torch anyone?…Pitchfork?…Tar & Feathers? Rope? Plenty of lamp posts in the district of criminals. The swamp is getting filled back in.

Anonymous

He’ll have James Taylor on stand-by for climate emergency response.

OWB

Merry, Happy to one and all.

Roh-Dog

Happy Thanksgiving y’all!
Mattis shows the world his leathery tail, General Flynn pardoned, low volatility in the market.
It’s not great, but manageable.
And I’ll take that as a ‘win’.
Be blessed.

Sad news on the eve of Thanksgiving – an American CIA officer, who was also a former SEAL in DEVGRU, was killed in Somalia:

Fyrfighter

RIP warrior!

Almost spit out my coffee when I read the line that the “SEAL led teams mission was to help Somali build it’s own elite light infantry force”.. The thought of anything “elite” in Somalia has GOT to be a joke. That place has been a shithole for as long as anyone can remember, and it is likely to remain that way for as long as it exists. Sad that another American had to lose his life for that place..

Happy Thanksgiving!

Focus on Gratitude and you will have a good Attitude.

Stay out of anyone’s morning report. If you can’t refrain from misbehavior, have your buddy close by and ensure your deception plan and egress plan are in good order. Heh.

KoB

And as always, most of the Judges and Bail Bondsmen will be off until Monday. Keep that in mind.

Macy’s parade is something else this year. Among the entrants…

The Gay Pride Marching Band.

(Who knew?)

So, what did they perform for the camera? “Dancing Queen,” of course.
