Paid off my car! Hoo-fucking-yah! Now to shop for insurance. I'll probably go with State Farm since it gives my boyfriend a discount on his insurance and our Renters' Insurance is with them as well.
I'll shop around, but if I see no significant change in price/coverage, State Farm it is.
I concur with WindUpBird, the reason having a second Thanksgiving is awesome is because you don't have to spend that one with your family! My wife and I have been holding "friends thanksgiving" at our house for the past 3 years. It is always the Sunday after Thanksgiving so that you get that great early dinner with football feel. Also, don't bother shopping for your food until AFTER thanksgiving. Everything will be DIRT CHEAP. You can fill a shopping cart with so much stuffing, cranberry sauce, and cans of gravy that make you look like you're stocking a bomb shelter, and not spend much money in the process.
Holidays with friends are some of the best days of the year. I am not particularly close to my family. They're nice people but it's just something I was born into. If you don't have a group of friends close enough to hold a holiday with, go out into the world and start meeting people you have a lot in common with (particularly easy if you are in college). You will not regret it!
I am not aware of this fantastic-sounding holiday, and can't find a succinct explanation anywhere. Could you provide one (or link me to the Fast Karate episode where they describe it)?
DESCRIBE THIS SHIT.
There's nothing to describe. It's just an excuse to eat more food that makes you fat. I usually aim for three Thanksgivings. One time I got four. That was probably the happiest I've ever been.
OMG YOU GUISE I AM SO EXCITED ABOUT THANKSGIVING COMING THAT I MADE A POST (ten hours after it was relevant).

You are truly on another level of eating mastery. One day, I too hope to have four Thanksgivings.
Man, when I saw that drumstick I fell into a Yakitate Japan-esque reverie about Thanksgiving food for about a minute. I swear I could smell mashed potatoes.
I desperately want to level this up to three Thanksgivings. I wonder if an entire afternoon spent in a Brazilian steakhouse counts? They cover stuff with bacon, and I think Fogo de Chao has mashed potatoes.
I've never been over to the Fast Karate forums so I never thought to pass this along, but Dave, you should know that my wife nearly lost control of her bladder from listening to your podcast. I don't often subject her to the torture of listening to my podcast feeds while in the car, but a few weeks ago I had her listen to the rant on eating butter from "YOU COULDN'T MAKE THAT SHOT!". She is now cool with me putting on Fast Karate.
Two shows tonight. The first was one of the best times I've had on stage in months. And then the second show was even more fun! Two standing ovations makes Luke happy.
EDIT: To actually answer that question, I'm pretty handy with my wrenches. If doing my own maintenance will get me a Porsche then fuck yeah.
You sure as shit don't want to get yourself a Jag. Fucking pull the damn thing apart down to the chassis to replace a fucking spark plug, shitbox british arsebiscut.
A family friend's Jag broke down a little while back, and the thing was more or less irreparable. I don't quite know the details, but despite proper maintenance, the drivetrain and trans just fucking devoured themselves and no power could be transferred to the wheels.
He flipped it for some superior vehicle a week later.
I fit a coworker into a shipping box and then she jumped out and scared the shit out of another coworker. I felt good I just fit her in, thought we were gonna need a 32", but she's a small woman.
Oh my god, I can actually hear you say it! Maybe you might have said it on a geekchat once before?
I've said it before, many times - Also, the italics probably help you conceptualise the cadence and intonation, since you've heard me a few times before and already have a rough idea.

I guess over there since there are more, parts are easier and cheaper to come by.
