i think my all-time favorite thanksgiving day story was this part of a post
by the great jack schidt, back in 2000:

Then there was the brawl in 93 when it became obvious that
Uncle Lou and Aunt Marge were splitting up. I think that's
the year I came out too. Maybe it was next year, not sure.
I know my cousin Walt was ****ed off, because he was
planning to do the same and I stole his thunder and he
didn't just want to say, "me too", so he didn't say anything
until after dinner, after the table was cleared. He called
me a ******* and didn't talk to me for the rest of the day,
until he got stinking drunk and started getting
affectionate. feh, what an asshole. I see him now and
then.

your pal,
blake
