Who else is going to cope with extended family time with single malt scotch, wine, and drunk Contra?

  • Eh, that's just my normal night.
  • Mix it up with Woodford Reserve and drunk Super C then
  • yeah ill be drinking beer and watching football
  • I will definately enjoy some thanksgiving alcohol!
  • Working a 16 hr shift, but that sweet sweet overtime and holiday pay.
  • At the company I work for you're not allowed to work holidays or Sundays. Getting super overtime was cool at other places but I like this job more. One place where I was a manager we got double time and a half. So I was making $300+ on a single day.
  • I would love to sip on some scotch/whiskey on the rocks while retro gaming this holiday.. hmmm.. if only I can convince the wife of how exciting it is to play CD-I games. As whiskey is required, lol. Happy Thanksgiving to all..
  • I get the American Thanksgiving off so I will most certainly be enjoying some beers and ignoring family.
  • Is there another type of Thanksgiving besides American?
  • Oh, I see, you're a Canuck. USA ok!



    Started early on my drinking / drunk NES playing. Drunk Felix the Cat FTW
  • x2 to the beer and football
  • It isn't a holiday here, so of course I will be having one shot of rum during the night.
  • I've got a barrel-aged beer that's been sitting for a year waiting for tomorrow!

    Rum has a lot of calories. Can't go abusing it if I want to bulk up properly.  

     
  • Of course, we always do plenty of drinking at family gatherings up at the lake. The Vikes play at noon, so it should be a nice time as always.
  • I usually do, but this year we're (I'm) driving to my brothers and not staying the night. Boo.
  • Have the day off (and the next day) from my full time job, but I'm working at Best Buy 4-10. Probably my last year working working the holidays at Best Buy, but money is money!
  • Get you a old fashioned glass (lowball) and fill half-way with crushed ice. Fill the glass halfway with Crown Royal, and the rest of the glass with Baileys Irish Cream. When I first heard about this mixture I thought it sounded awful, but I must admit it is now my favorite holiday beverage. It's defintly a "sipper" and it's very sneaky, so take er slow. Pair this heartwarming beverage with a game rich in story and fitting for the season. Throw a pillow on the floor, sit in front of your CRT, light a holiday candle and dim the lights. I'm going SNES Final Fantasy II for the game of choice. (I know, not the best RPG on the SNES but it's the first one I ever played so memories and stuff)



    Happy T-Day everyone!



     
  • I'm not a liquor guy. I bought myself a sixer of Rolling Rock to drink while frying the turkey tomorrow. I normally go for domestic light beer so I'm going to have to take it easy.
  • Contrarily, my friends, I broke out the NES and Tecmo Super Bowl and Family Feud (bizarrely at my mother's ingenious request). Well, she demanded the alleged so called Feud, but I tagged along TSB knowing my crowd of 30-50 somethingites from Chicago Detroit New York and otherwhence places whereupon Tecmo Super Bowl was the liveliest of times upon the era (QB EAGLES), would have fun. Nevertheswence tomorrow is a new day and we are likely to revel in a good thankings of Family Feud.

    My sister who has been living in Virgina for a while saw me post on Facebook earlier this year that I found my old Atari 7800 about a year ago and got a new AC adapter for it this year.  So since she's finally going to be in town she has already demanded that I bring it tomorrow to play.  So I'm sure we'll be playing Food Fight and Combat for 2600 tomorrow quite a bit.  It will be funny to see what our kids think of the games were playing 30+ years ago.



     
  • Make it happen
  • I'll continue the Contra theme. Been playing Alien Wars lately and will mix in some football and got me a sixer of Shiner Cheer to go with it.

    Canadian?
  • Fun game...ask a child where Thanksgiving comes from, and take a drink every time they say something totally historical revisionist  



    "and the Indians were glad the settlers were there, and they ate corn together, and everyone was happy!"
  • Yes, a few beers will be had today  
  • There is no single day of the year that alcohol isn't consumed.
  • I'll drink to that. I drink in general.
  • I may have a beer or two while I play board games with the family.
