A cool way to liven up a Thanksgiving conversation is to ask who at the table is considering buccal fat removal and then pull out before and after photos of what that is.

Happy Noam Chomsky Day to all who celebrate
One year at a bar the night before thanksgiving a stranger leaned over to ask me the name of the guy who was both a linguist & an activist & I blanked for a minute & then leaned over & shouted NOAM CHOMSKY, & he shouted back NOAM CHOMSKY & soon we had the whole bar chanting NOAM CHOMSKY NOAM CHOMSKY
Small town and suburban bars the week of thanksgiving have the most insane vibes—adults at home visiting parents and already going insane and sneaking out at night to drink. Weird and terrifying kinships form
