When Our Families Are In Danger, There's No Time To Blog

by Adam Jacobi on Nov 25, 2009 4:10 PM CST in Iowa Hawkeyes News

This will be our last post before the holiday weekend, on account of traveling far and wide around the midwest, protecting our family and friends from the dreaded turkey menace. Observe.

No laughing matter, that. Makes it all the better when they're dead and we partake of their innards. By that, of course, we mean a bottle of Wild Turkey. That's turkey blood, right?

If giving thanks is your thing, feel free to do so below. We thank you readers, of course--even the ones who need help using their brainthing--and we thank SBNation for putting this framework in place for us to screw around and make our jokes. Also, we're thankful for Ken O'Keefe. There, we said it.

Enjoy the Thanksgiving holiday, everyone. We'll be back sometime Sunday, right after we eat ourselves blind.

BHGP is the stuffing in the turkey of my life.

Thanks OPS, HS, Jeebs, SMA, HFMR, Ross, Bellanca, and all the rest of you pantsless nutcases. You all make life that much brighter.

Cheers!

I am thankful for BHGP and Glen Worley. That is all.

The 40-character screen name limit put a damper on my first choice:

Francisco Domingo Carlos Andres Sebastian D’Anconia.

It’s been a number of years, but whenever I find myself wallowing, it’s usually a nice pickmeup to refer again to the Atlas.

I am thankful for.....

J Leman, J Leman’s glorious mane of hair, the Iowa Hawkeyes (yes, even the men’s basketball team) and everyone at BHGP for not just the laughs and entertainment, but some of the best damned analysis anywhere.

Well, time to carve the turkey!

BOOM

Yee-Haw! I ride again!

I'm thankful to be able to write for a place like this

and to have an opportunity to be read by so many smart, funny, and argumentative (which I mean in a good way – really) readers.

And I’m thankful for the Iowa sports teams for giving me something so fun to obsess over.

Happy thanksgiving, folks. Eat turkey, watch bad football, and root for Nevada and Oklahoma (hey, it couldn’t hurt).

The turkey has terrorized our species from time immortal. It is time for us to have our revenge!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Thanks for the online cooler talk fellas

Don’t know where else I could get it – so far from the promise land.

I’m also thankful for Chris Doyle.

I am thankful for....

OPS and Hawkeye State continuing to add and improve to my favorite workday diversion.

the numerous posters around here who demonstrate there’s nothing wrong with my Iowa football obsession.

the fact that Stoops My Ass has so much free time and an eye for detail.

DJK getting with the program.

I ate the blue ones ... they taste like burning.

I'm thankful for

Ken O’Keefe, of course, and Cully Payne. And all my virtual chums here at BHGP. I’ve asked Santa for a BCS bowl game and victory in said bowl. He put me on a waiting list.
