I do radio commercials for... products.
Today was lovely. Any day that starts off with BACON and PIE for breakfast is going to be good, you know. The first porn references came early, when the Care Bears showed up in the parade, and they continued throughout the day whenever the littler kids were not around.
Also, I missed the rickroll at the parade (I was in the shower), but apparently, Alyssa tried to explain it and nobody understood what she was talking about. Sigh.
She and my dad and I watched the Colbert Christmas special, which was hilarious. THEY ARE CANDLES! I didn't know Elvis Costello had a sense of humor!
I love Thanksgiving, even though I am not all that fond of turkey. Stuffing! Mashed potatoes! PIE! A day devoted to food and football and being grateful for things. *heart*
I am very thankful for my family and my friends, for their continued health, for still having a job (for the moment), for fandom, for the characters and stories I love, for everything I've learned. *snugs you all*
I also am thankful to the people who commented on the story I posted yesterday:
A Moveable Feast
Supernatural; Mary, John, Dean, Sam; g; 2,675 words
Five Winchester Thanksgivings
It's exactly what it says on the tin. *g* I like how it turned out, and I'm glad other people liked it too.

It can't be Thanksgiving without some kind of appropriate pop culture reference!
BARTLET
Stuffing should be stuffed inside the turkey, am I correct?
WOMAN
It can also be baked in the casserole dish.
BARTLET
Well, then we'd have to call it something else, wouldn't we?
WOMAN
I suppose.
BARTLET
If I cook it inside the turkey, is there a chance I could kill my guests? I'm not saying that's necessarily a deal-breaker.
WOMAN
Well, there are some concerns. Two main bacterial problems are salmonella and camplyobacter jejuna.
BARTLET
All right. Well, first of all, I think you made the second bacteria up, and second of all, how do I avoid it?
WOMAN
Make sure all the ingredients are cooked first. Sauté any vegetables, fried sausage, oysters, etc.
BARTLET
Excellent! Let's talk temperature.
WOMAN
One hundred and sixty-five degrees.
BARTLET
No, see, I was testing you! The USDA calls for turkeys to be cooked to an internal temperature of 180 to 185 degrees.
WOMAN
Yes, sir, I was talking about the stuffing which you want to cook to 165 to avoid health risks.
BARTLET
Okay. Good testing!
