So I'd like to tell you a few things I'm bitter about this Thanksgiving. I could give quite a list, but I'll keep it short:<br /><br />1. The proliferation of cran-drinks. I mean, seriously, the first time someone made a cran-drink they said, "There's no way anyone would ever drink this crap." And now that crap is everywhere, and that guy is laughing his friekin' butt off. C'mon people, seriously, no more cran drinks.<br /><br />2. Words that have two alternate spellings. Grey or gray. Catsup or ketchup. Give me a break! Isn't spelling difficult enough? I'm writing my second book right now (my first book comes out February 1st, you totally have to buy it, it's only the best book ever, that's all) and it's called "Guerilla Lovers" or is it "Guerrilla Lovers"? I don't know, because they're both acceptable.<br /><br />3. Chef Boyardee. Just never liked that guy.<br /><br />4. The NFL tradition that Detroit and Dallas always play on Thanksgiving. How about just making sure it's great games?!?<br /><br />5. Commercials for the news. "Tonight at 11! Is the meat you bought today at the grocery store going to cause you to die?!? Find out at 11! Unless you're already dead! And get the weather with us, because we have the biggest doppler in town!" Seriously, enough of the doppler envy already...<br /><br />Okay, those are a few things I'm not thankful for...Vince Antonucci:http://www.blogger.com/profile/01577695138497215119noreply@blogger.com
