Let’s take a moment and go around the table and say what we are thankful for

Reasons to be thankful this holiday season:

Did not kill any puppies or other cute animals this year.

Don’t live in Mississippi and have a hurricane tossed tree on my head.

Don’t do PR for Michael Brown, late of FEMA, “Yes, Brownie, you are doing a heck of a job!”

FOX news comes in fuzzy on the TV upstairs and The Daily Show does not.

Mecca arrived. All hail Steverino in Cupertino!

No one is my family asked for a “Tickle Me Elmo” for Chirstmas this year.

rsync and ssh. Two great tastes that taste great together!

I still don’t care about collge sports.

Reha switched jobs and no longer works soul crushing hours.

Thanks to the new Schick Quattro, my shave is closer than ever!

Nick and Jessica are still together. Wait, are they? They are. Yes. They are. Definately. Are. Wait, they aren’t. Really? Are you sure? OK, fine, they aren’t. Whatever. I think I’ll change to being grateful I don’t really care.

Dr. Peterson has a steady hand and didn’t poke my eyes out.

On the Internet, no one knows I’m a balding, late thirties dorky white guy. Oh, wait, they do. Damnit!

Power tools and the fact that I’m not Amish will get the remodel done before next Christmas.

I’m not the source on the Valerie Plame leak.

The iTunes Music Store began selling video. Now more folks will know the genius of “That’s So Raven!”

That I wiped the hard drive clean on the PC in my house before I became seriously addicted to World of Warcraft.

That Reha stills let me hang out with her even though I had awful gas the other night, though she did douse me in Febreeze™, which as I’ve said before is a wonderful product, but it kind of burns when you get it in your eyes.

Podcast of Marketplace. Man, I’m such a dork.

MC Frontalot Nerdcore Rise Up!

I have a job I enjoy and I get paid a decent wage.

Mostly, I’m thankful to have a wonderful and healthy family and that we are all together.

And now I’m all verklempt again and I’m grateful that I have a box of tissues near me to sop up these tears.

    Holy Crap! Look at all this STUFF down here. It's awesome!

     

    Really, I'm glad you made it down here. Almost no one ever comes down here. I'm like in a freaking dungeon down here. I get lonely. But not you. YOU made it all the way to the end of the page. For this I think I've a little crush on you. I don't know, is "love" to strong a word to use in this situation? Well, if it's not "love," then it's very strong "like." I'm totally in like with you for coming down here. You are awesome. Please love me back! I know, I know, I shouldn't be all needy, it's not attractive at all, but you don't know how it is to be stuck down here. Who scrolls all the way to the end of a page anymore these days? Anyway, thanks for shedding some light down here in the depths. I appreciate it. Shoot me an email and I'll send you a dollar, OK?
