Offer valid with this coupon at participating Arbys through 123185. Limit: one coupon per customer, per Just think of it: Turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce, vegetables of Grandmas famous Turkey Giblet Pie. No, on second thought, better not think about the giblet pie especially if you know what its made out of. 1 dont know... maybe some people like eating things made out of internal organs. Not me Ive seen too many George Romero movies to enjoy that particular dish. Certain things I have to say no thanks to. Anything which contains turkey organs is one of them. The same goes for sweet potatoes, stewed beets, and pumpkin pie (What? You dont like pumpkin pie? Are you a commie boy, or what?). I am equally revolted by mincemeat pie (Gack! What is it), and (arrgh!) rhubarb all kinds, and visit. Not valid with any other offer or a Junior Roast Beef 927 West 200 North Cedar City, Ut 84720 sandwich pie. I dont know why it is that people use a holiday of thanks to bring out all sorts of gross food that you are going to have to say thank you, no to. But the worst part is that they always insist that you try just a little bit just this once, and then get all beat looking when you politely refuse. Or, worse yet, answer your refusal by saying smugly, fine, all the more for us then. Well, it is almost Thanksgiving, so I guess I should search myself to find something to be thankful for, instead of moaning about foods that I hate. Hmm. Where should I begin? Im thankful that I dont live at home anymore, and can thus avoid spending time with my relatives on Thanksgiving. That sounds terrible, doesnt it? Sorry. Cant help it. I mean, I love my parents and relatives as much as the next guy, but they just have this way of weirding me out. Take my dad, for instance. The last time I was home for Thanksgiving he was going to play the traditional Dad role, and carve the turkey. I still think it was a mistake to let him use an electric carving knife so does my cat, Tripod. My mom, Lefty, thinks it was a pretty bad idea too. I cant say too much about my mom. Shes a great cook, and she doesnt get too upset when I refuse to eat her pumpkin pie or stewed beets, so I wont put her down. In fact, shed be the perfect mom if only she didnt get so mad at me when I chew tobacco at the dinner table. I just dont understand. I mean, its not like I spit on the floor or something I keep it in the glass. Oh well, moms are funny like that. My grandparents are kind of funny, too. Everytime I see them, Grandma tries to give me a haircut, and Grandpa tries to get me to smoke one of his rancid cigars with him. Then they both sit around and tell me how the Russians are going to blow up the world, and how todays youth is going to the devil. I would be thankful if Uncle Harvey would shorten his prayers to something short and simple, like, O Lord, we beseech thee, heal this turkey. That probably wouldnt go over really well, though. Yes, Im thankful that I dont have to live at home anymore, and can enjoy Thanksgiving in my own, traditional poor college student style. Mmm boy, I can almost taste those Nachos now. Im thankful that I dont live by Three Mile Island, although it probably would be handy to just be able to lay your turkey on the front porch to cook it. At least you wouldnt have to worry if it was hot all the way through. Im also thankful that the Pilgrims waited until after the local Indians showed them how to survive and eat in the New World before they drove them all away. If they hadnt, wed all probably still be wandering around in the woods like idiots, and eating Convenience Stores Located at all three Interchanges in Cedar City Were open 24 hours a day for your convenience Snacks, Pops, Hot Dogs, Magazines; and Much More Master Card Visa C-ma- rt 1-- 15 COLLEGE 1 HAIR CUTS bugs. Last, but not least, Im thankful that we get such a long Thanksgiving break. Now I can make up all the school work that Im so horribly behind in. And then, maybe I can graduate and get out of this nuthouse. Now that's something to be thankful for. PORTSMEN'S .
