The Funniest Black Friday Memes

Emerald Catron — Fri, 23 Nov 2012 15:15:06 +0000

It's Black Friday, and you know what that means -- hiding in your home away from the world while people desperately claw at each other's faces to buy a Wii U for their kid. The madness is not for everybody. Some of us like to eat cold turkey all day and wonder how a person could be so hungover. For those of us who would rather spend time with our TVs watching 'Star Wars' than rioting over discounted athletic socks, we present these Black Friday memes to make you feel like you've made the right choice.

Facebook Helps President Obama Pardon Two Turkeys

Emerald Catron — Wed, 21 Nov 2012 21:01:33 +0000

After a neck and neck online competition, President Obama today granted pardon to two turkeys, Cobbler and Gobbler. Cobbler, who likes eating cranberries and listening to Carly Simon, narrowly beat out Gobbler, the corn-eating turkey who loves bluegrass. (The voting took place via Facebook poll.) President Obama named Gobbler as Cobbler’s “alternate.” The pair will [...]

The Funniest Memes for Thanksgiving 2012

Emerald Catron — Wed, 21 Nov 2012 17:02:04 +0000

It's that time again. Thanksgiving -- you eat until you're sick, post endless "artsy" photos of your sweet potato gratin on Facebook and drink as much as you can so you can deal with your Uncle Rick. Before descending into pure turkey madness, purvey these memes, and perhaps the memory of them will get you through the annual lecture on what "those politicians up on Capitol Hill" are really "up to."

How Are People Really Preparing For Thanksgiving?

Cameron Simcik — Wed, 21 Nov 2012 14:25:25 +0000

With Thanksgiving taking place tomorrow, it’s becoming almost impossible to contain all our turkey-lovin’ excitement. Honestly, is there anything better than boatloads of pumpkin pie and stuffing ourselves silly and spending time with our crazy families? No way! Sure the holiday requires tons of prep, but that’s one of the best parts. We’re talking about buying [...]

Emerald Catron — Tue, 20 Nov 2012 19:55:11 +0000

10 Thanksgiving Songs You Probably Haven't Heard

Cameron Simcik — Tue, 20 Nov 2012 17:23:24 +0000

With Thanksgiving just around the corner, it's time to get into full-on turkey mode. After all, it's never too early to loosen up the ol' belt buckle to ready ourselves for Thursday's feasting. While we're getting totally hyped about eating tons of stuffing and gravy and pumpkin pie, we still feel like the holiday prep could use a little extra oomph, and that's where Turkey Day music comes in.

'Epic Meal Time' Crew Creates Massive Thanksgiving Feast for the Needy

Emerald Catron — Tue, 20 Nov 2012 16:15:18 +0000

If you love unnecessarily elaborate meals and absolutely hate being in good health, we recommend using the recipes from the self-described “d-bags” in this video. First things first, stuff a pig with four other animals stuffed inside each other, then swear at it a little bit (this video is NSFW, btw). Next, make a “lasagna” out [...]

15 Awesome Paper Thanksgiving Turkeys

Emerald Catron — Fri, 16 Nov 2012 18:26:29 +0000

Sure, the food at Thanksgiving is great. But in our opinion, the real star of this holiday is the terrifying artwork brought home from elementary school art class. Unlike actual turkeys, you probably won’t so eat them as throw up in your mouth a little bit. Plus it’s almost as disturbing as how drunk your [...]

10 Turkey Facts You Might Not Know

Carl Pettit — Thu, 15 Nov 2012 22:00:22 +0000

These days, most of the turkeys people gobble down are fattened up on farms. They’re only pale (under their feathers) imitations of the lean, mean turkeys roaming through the woods of North America. Regardless of the kind of turkey you’re planning on serving for dinner this year (domestic or wild), you might like to read [...]

The 15 Grossest Instagram Shots of Thanksgiving Dinner

Cameron Simcik — Thu, 15 Nov 2012 19:30:00 +0000

There are tons of things we love about Thanksgiving, like how it’s socially acceptable to dress up as a pilgrim in public. (Other people do that too, right?) Obviously boats full of gravy will trump square-buckled shoes every time though. Unless said gravy has been passed through the Hudson filter on Instagram and made thoroughly unappealing. [...]

Emerald Catron — Fri, 09 Nov 2012 17:03:43 +0000

Woman Sentenced to Cook Thanksgiving Dinner for Cops

Emerald Catron — Thu, 08 Nov 2012 15:57:13 +0000

Who's really being punished here? Valerie Rodgers, or the cops she's cooking for? It depends on good she is in the kitchen, we guess. Rodgers was sentenced to cooking Thanksgiving dinner for three cops and a year of probation for reckless driving that resulted in felony charges.

Donald Deane — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 15:23:34 +0000

Last night on 'American Idol,' viewers were treated to a pleasant, if somewhat forgettable, audition by Jim Carrey's 24-year-old daughter, Jane. But the real highlight was when judge Jennifer Lopez, who starred with Jane's famous father on 'In Living Color' back in the '90s, admitted that she suddenly felt very old.

Nick Nadel — Wed, 23 Nov 2011 19:42:39 +0000

For kids of all ages, the annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade means one thing: awesome floats. And no time were they more awesome than during the '80s and '90s.

Whether it's lavish spectacles that bring cherished childhood favorites (He-Man, Sonic the Hedgehog) to life or guest appearances from stars like The Backstreet Boys and ALF, parade floats from years past provide a nostalgic window to a simpler, more Dolph Lundgren-filled time.

10 Things You Probably Didn't Know About Thanksgiving

Danny Gallagher — Wed, 23 Nov 2011 16:43:23 +0000

This Thanksgiving, millions of Americans will sit down at the table and gawk over all the goodies they are planning to cram in their gullet. The holiday might seem as familiar as singing "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" during the "Seventh Inning Stretch" or packing a finger in ice that was blown off by a firework on the Fourth of July. However, like all traditions based on history and passed down through the ages, its genesis and story has been morphed and changed to fit the times.
