lol, sounds like your Thanksgiving is going to be a blast. (for you, and your sister and her family).

Happy Thanksgiving to all the firepups, already got the turkey going, hope that i don’t mess up.

ARLO!

JANE!

Happy Bird Day!

Hi Jane, Tulsa is a great place to be from. I was born there and grew up a few miles off in Claremore. Somehow, I don’t make it back there often.

Like I said, it’s a great place to be “from”.

Enjoy the family.

Happy “Save Us From Sarah Palin” Day!

No doubt the turkey Palin pardoned was a special “Scooter Libby” turkey. The turkeys in the background were democratic turkeys.

Happy Thanksgiving to Jane, Christy, and the Firepups!

It’s Turkey Lurkey Time !

Led Zeppelin, eh? Jane, my son is 14 and he treats these bands as if they’re new too! Hysterical.

Good Morning, can’t be cooking turkey without Arlo

That’s a photoshop op.

Where’s watertiger?

Happy Thanksgiving all,
My late wife was born in Nowata if you know where that is.

Happy Thanksgiving Jane. You are a treasure! ;->

Does Sarah field dress her turkey from Neiman Marcus now?

Went there several times as a young tyke to watch the older ones play high school football.

Wha? Jane, are you drinking this morning? LOL! Not sure what you mean, but hey, I’m on my third barrel of coffee so it could just be me. ;-)

loved that song when I used to be a radio DJ, plenty o’ time to hit the can, snack/drink machine etc

“If the American people ever allow private banks to
control the issue of their money, first by inflation
and then by deflation, the banks and corporations
that will grow up around them (around the banks),
will deprive the people of their property until their
children will wake up homeless on the continent
their fathers conquered.”

Thomas Jefferson

“We are grateful to the Washington Post, the New York Times, Time Magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost forty years. It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subjected to the light of publicity during those years. But now the world is more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The supra-national sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national auto-determination practiced in past centuries.”

-David Rockefeller

Happy Thanksgiving! Whole Lotta Love to ya’ll!

So, this Led Zeppelin band is pretty cool? I’ll have to check ‘em out sometime.

Happy Thanksgiving gang.

I’m at my mother’s place in NY, with y partner, our two chihuahuas and my mother’s two sixteen year old chihuahuas. The Broadway channel is playing something from the new production of Gypsy on the TV.

Anyone curious how I ended up gay?

I have to say it was surreal to see Jimmy Page at the closing ceremonies at the Olympics this year. I’ve always loved Zepplin.

Robert Plant and Jimmy Paige debuted “No Quarter” on MTV. Amazing live concert. The Battle of Evermore. Too bad Sandy Denny wasn’t with us to do it with them.

good morning fair citizen pups,im in Miami and it is sunny and in the 70s,I95 however is IMPOSSIBLE,so be happy!

Good morning firepups.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone.
I just explained to the toddler nieces what Thanksgiving was. I had to modify the language, every they got that puzzled look: It’s when we are thankful for things (puzzled), . . . no, when we give thanks (puzzled), when we are happy about the things we like (bingo). “Like mommy and grandma”? Exactly, pumpkins!

ok where did everybody go?

I’m doing great, Sadlyyes! How are you doing?

When my dad was in the hosp last spring, I got into an elevator with two guys my age and one kid, maybe 14, with a black Led Zeppelin tee shirt on. The kid got off on the floor below me and the other two guys.

After he got off, I looked at the two guys and said, “Christ, I had that same tee shirt on when I was his age. They laughed. “Me too!” the both said.

cntd@33. The whole point of the explanation was to distract them from a joint temper tantrum.

Hi, Sadlyyes.

I think I now of a smoke shop that sells them, that and Ozzy osborne, black sabbath and tie-dyed t-shirts.

Way down inside, you need love.

-G

enjoy the day. must be good for your mama to have you and yours there.

I’ll be by in time for the karaoke, and you’re not hogging all the Michael Bennett this year either ! :D

For years now my son has played heavy metal music from his bedroom to the point the pictures on the walls would shake…and I just sat at my computer and blogged away as if everything was normal. We bought our home a year ago and I’ve noticed a slow change in him. He now plays The Doors, The Beatles, and Led Zeppelin between his obscure heavy metal bands, and then….one day recently I heard coming from his room…*gasp*…Simon & Garfunkel’s Greatest Hits! Holy cow! I almost fell off my chair. He said to me, “Well Ma, I like their harmony”, and I said, “Oh me too!!!!! *kissing his face as if he had been gone for years and is now found*”.

See? There is hope in our youngsters. We just have to let them find it on their own. I’ve enjoyed every step of progress in his life and am thankful for it. ;-)

The first Led Zep song I ever heard was Black Dog, I was about 11. It sent lightning through my spine. I can remember where I was and who I was with.

Who’s Michael Bennett?

Feelin’ groovy!

-G

Auntie Jane!

Have a Happy, happy, Fabulous! Thanksgiving, Jane.

I dunno? Should I?

-G

im with my AGE-ED mother who is putting me through her/my paces,thankfully Fri i go home to the farm…707

Ah, I guess you mean this one, not this one.

I don’t see how that Led Zeppelin could fly, utterly ridiculous… ;-))

Not a holiday here, still, I can get anything want, at alice’s restaurant…

46 WAS TO Kay

the second I hit submit I knew you were too young to get my anemic, under caffeinated snark -

Yep! We’re feeling groovy now! LOL

Whenever I think of Simon and Garfunkel, I remember this all girls’ choir at my highschool that did a mean version of whatsitcalled. . . are you going to scarborough fair(?), parsley sage rosemary and er thyme.

howdy doody!!

im already FULL……………

Yer back?!?

Okay, baked this turkey just for you, Jane. Not up to Watertiger’s standards, but it’ll do until she bakes one better.

well we are happy to share the day with you -and all our Canadian cousins- we have much to be thankful for this year. :)

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!!!

~ PEACE ~

Hot Topic sells all the old things and my 13 year old granddaughter loves them.

Ba da da, da dah, da dah….

We did a very good version of Bridge Over Troubled Water as part of a 60’s show I did with the Gay Men’s Chorus of Washington DC a few years back. We mixed in music and bits from Laugh In. I can’t remember what line I delivered that got a big laugh but I did it really fey and it was very dirty.

LOL Sooooo, you’re having a typical Thanksgiving, are we? I’m sorry. Well, you have us to brighten your day up, Sadlyyes! ;-)

For years growing up, the extended family would celebrate Thanksgiving here together (Uncles/cousins would go hunting…football on the tv), but now, it’s different. We’re all grown up and we all celebrate it separately. My son and I have spent it together…just he and I…for years now, but that’s what we want to do. My sister goes to her boyfriend’s house, my brother sometimes spends it with us (only a couple times) or doesn’t celebrate it all (he’s been in Europe most years), and my parents spend the winters in Florida (we all get a call from them on Thanksgiving). My son and I get invited to spend Thanksgiving with others, but we always say no. It’s our day to spend eating from the break of dawn until we pop…and we love it! Our tradition is to put up our fake Christmas tree tonight, and we will. Just a nice relaxing day.

Wish you could be here, Sadlyyes!

My friend and I used to do Whimaweh/Sweeney sisters imitations.

Rayne!!!
Nice job.

BTW fey and dirty is the best!

Great song. ;-)

We built one of those Laugh In walls with the shutters for the fast jokes. Somewhere I have a VCR tape of the show. I got 15 seconds of uninterrupted laughter in the theater, I remember timing it. But I can’t remember the joke. Something, er. . . oral.

Sweeney sisters medley.

Bah hahahahaha! Cute. ;-)

For GregB:

Let’s sing!

Can’t tell if these ladies are pro or anti worker.

Of course, this Simon & Garfunkel tune makes me tear up everytime I hear it:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sbFEnoITiWE

I remember putting this sign in the back window of my car after Katrina drowned our fellow Americans: NO BRIDGE OVER TROUBLED WATERS.

I was coming up to an intersection with this sign in the back window and a husband/wife/young son were pulling up behind me in their truck. As soon as the husband saw my sign, he backed his truck away from my car….quite a distance from me too. Why? I BET HE BEING A RIGHT WINGER DIDN’T WANT TO EXPLAIN TO HIS SON THAT GEORGE BUSH, his president, DIDN’T GIVE TWO FLYING SHITS ABOUT HIS OWN PEOPLE!

I feel bad for people like this. It was a great opportunity for these parents to explain the right to free speech and how our government sometimes does things that require this. Oh well. My son would have gotten the low down. ;-)

Thanksgiving … my favorite holiday of all. Probably due to it’s proximity to birthday, as I celebrated my 52nd remarkable birthiversary yesterday! (-:

Lots, lots, lots to be thankful for.

Enjoy your day, all.

~itunkala

well time to dust it off. The video tape.

Happy Birthday/Thanksgiving, Kala! ;-)

Happy Birthday ! and a wonderful Thanksgiving to all. We do have a lot to be thankful for this year and I’m grateful. Won’t be having Thanksgiving dinner today. Just finished having a new floor put in the condo and everything is in boxes and I can’t even see the top of the kitchen counters. We’ll do it next week when the furniture is back in place. It will taste just as good.

“I Will Survive” — Turkey Dance version

cool. Nickolodean time here. Happy thanksgiving.

Happy TG to all, special greetings, Jane!

Hi, Tex. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours. Thanks for the funny video.

The first time I ever heard Bridge Over Troubled Water was one of those magical moments. I was doing graduate work and teaching on a fellowship, working late at night at the University of Houston. As I left, walking toward the parking lot, the campus was dark and lonely. I passed by the music building, which had one light on, on about the second floor, with a window open. A music student with a beautiful tenor voice, was singing that song. I stopped and listened until it ended. I’ll never forget it. That was 1969.

Happy Turkey Day! Welcome to my part of the world. I grew up just north of Tulsa in Bartlesville and my son lives there now. Love Alice’s Restataunt, especially the scene at the draft induction physical. Pretty much what it was like at the Oklahoma City Receiving Station for me in 1971.

I remember picketing that station in 1967, then returning to Norman to listen to Arlo sing from the LP.

I live in Tulsa, home to a fair number of progressive people. We are, unfortunately, surrounded by many more who are ill-informed (and who operate from false assumptions) — but we keep trying to change our home.

Happy Turkey Day back to you and your son, to JimWhite, foothillsmike, Jane, and all near to Tulsa and far from our home.

1,39 DAYZ AND THE KILLIN’ GOEZ ON AND ON AND…

Citizen Hamsher and the Firepup Freedom Fighters:

Awe Man!! Arlo Guthrie, Led Zeplin, all my kids and grand kids in the house for Thanksgiving and a generation X’er teachin’ the new generation how ta put it to their parents…what more could an old man want for the November holiday??!!

Seriously though Sister Hamsher, we here in the Norske bunker will be includin’ you and the FDL family in our Thankgiving thoughts…I hafta say that seeing you on national television with Sister Maddow while my two daughters sat next to me on the couch was a thrill only FDL Dad’s ken understand ( maybe Moms too but Mrs. Norske taught me not ta speak for them).

So to you and all the FDL patriots and freedom fighters: be safe, kindle the love and …

KEEP THE FAITH AND PASS THE AMMUNITION, THE STRUGGLE GOEZ ON AND ON AND…

“They’re already delighted I’m here.”

As are we Jane, as are we.
Wishing wonderful bird to all today!

My mom and dad were from Oklahoma and we spent many happy Thanksgivings visiting grandparents and 11 sets of aunts and uncles and dozens of cousins, right around that same time.
My mom had to keep elbowing me because I argued politics with my uncles…

late but heartfelt gratitude to all firepups and for the (hopefully) new horizon coming our way…..

Oklahoma had thehighest percentage of any state go for Mccain…watch your step jane!

Ereshkigal & Ruffian -
Unfortunately my home state has been going steadily retrograde for the 20 years since I left. Really hard for a socialist like me to go home sometimes. Hard to believe that in the 1920s they elected the highest percentage of officials from socialist parties in the history of the US.

I grew up in Oklahoma. I have heard of Nowata. My father (not FROM Oklahoma) claimed there was also a “Lottawata.”

Aunt Jane! Cool.

Maybe you might want to squeeze some lemon on that thanksgiving turkey.

The Federal Reserve..the money/wage slave masters. JFK signed an order on June 4, 1963 that got him assassinated. Executive Order 11110 took the power away from the Reserve; they could no longer loan money to the government and charge interest.

And the amazing thing is that the order was never repealed; it is still in effect.

Rockefeller was referring to Operation Mockingbird. The media has lied under CIA direction since 1948.

Hope you all had a happy Turkey Day…From Puritanical Boston best wishes
are sent to all! We had dinner at my son’s home with his wife and son,
included were her mother and guest and our daughter, her husband and their
two sons…Son Mike cooked the bird and did a great job..guess he learned something from his Mother!! We had a wonderful and peaceful meal and had a terrific afternoon…even the three boys (9, 8, & 6) behaved and got along without any mishaps!! Hope everyone here,
especially Jane and Christy and their families made more happy memories
of a special Thanksgiving!
