Best Bars in Abilene to Sneak out to During the Holidays – The Painman's Picks

Frank Pain — Thu, 29 Nov 2012 22:00:16 +0000

The Holidays are great because we get that rare chance to see family and friends that we normally don't see during the year. But, let's face it, there's only so much time we can spend with our family, during the holidays, before we need to decompress a bit. So, for those of you looking for [...]

People Go Nuts Over Fried Turkey Testicles

Cameron Simcik — Mon, 26 Nov 2012 22:00:00 +0000

As guys, we'll eat almost anything. Brew us up some cat poop coffee, toss us a stuffed cone pizza explosion; we can handle it. There is one thing we're a little weary to try, though -- mostly because it's a male issue at hand -- deep fried turkey testicles.

Man Flies From Hong Kong to Give Family Thanksgiving Surprise

Emerald Catron — Mon, 26 Nov 2012 16:25:49 +0000

In this heartwarming video, a man bought a plane ticket from Hong Kong to fly home and surprise his family, who weren’t expecting him. Basically unless you did this for Thanksgiving too, you’ve been outdone. Putting raisins in the pumpkin cake just doesn’t seem like that big of a shocker all of the sudden. Keep some Kleenex nearby. [...]

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.

A disputed call and two huge quarters helped decide the three NFL games held on Thanksgiving Day. Here’s a recap of the day’s action: Houston 34 — Detroit 31 (OT) Shayne Graham kicked a 32-yard field goal with 2:21 remaining in overtime, and the Houston Texans beat the Detroit Lions, 34-31, in Detroit on Thanksgiving [...]

Check Out This Ridiculously Gruesome Cranberry Commercial

Emerald Catron — Thu, 22 Nov 2012 18:25:27 +0000

Thanksgiving isn't just about the turkey-- there's also cranberry sauce. Those poor, poor cranberries. Here's a hilarious (NSFW) commercial parody by comedian Sam Kim about how cruel a process they must endure to become so very, very delici

Watch Thanksgiving According to Larry David

Emerald Catron — Thu, 22 Nov 2012 17:35:56 +0000

We may not have hundreds of millions of dollars, but that doesn’t mean that our Thanksgivings aren’t just like the ones Larry David used to have with his family. Here’s an adorable cartoon from the grump behind ‘Seinfeld’ and ‘Curb Your Enthusiasm’ that pretty much sums up what it’s like to have Thanksgiving dinner with [...]

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 [...]

Find out what they're up to today right here.

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."

Is Thanksgiving Football the Greatest Holiday Tradition? — Sports Survey of the Day

BJ Ragone — Wed, 21 Nov 2012 16:16:03 +0000

On Thanksgiving you can count on two things: overeating, and watching a ton of football. When it comes to holiday tradition, nothing goes hand in hand like Thanksgiving and football. It’s America’s sport, on one of America’s favorite days. The tradition of games is fantastic. This year, perennial turkey-day participant the Dallas Cowboys take on [...]

We Dare You to Wear This Tie to Thanksgiving Dinner

Jackie Mancini — Wed, 21 Nov 2012 16:00:05 +0000

Dressing up for Holidays only to sit around on a couch surrounded by drunk uncles can be kind of the pits, but we’ve found a way to make it a little more fun. We’re not huge fans of the novelty tie; it can be a little too ‘Uncle Joey’ if not executed correctly, but this tie [...]

Mike Adams — Wed, 21 Nov 2012 15:56:17 +0000

If you are still trying to figure out where to get the best deal on this year’s Thanksgiving dinner, industry analysts say that Target, not Walmart, is your best bet for coming in under $50.

Holiday shoppers have been sharpening their skills for weeks in anticipation of all the Thanksgiving and Black Friday deals that are schedule to go down before most holiday dinners are even digested. For that particular breed of deal-hungry lunatic, many retailers are offering bargains on merchandise for about 40 percent off the everyday “sane” price, according [...]

How Many Calories Are in Your Thanksgiving Dinner?

Mike Adams — Tue, 20 Nov 2012 21:32:32 +0000

We heard the average gluttonous American will consume some 4,500 calories this Thanksgiving Day, according to the Calorie Control Council. However, that statistic may be a bit exaggerated—unless your idea of a holiday feast is about 16 slices of pepperoni pizza with large soda chaser, that is.

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 [...]
