How do I avoid shoving mashed potatoes in the face of rethugs tomorrow?

[RiverStone]

With ALL we have to be thankful for (see November 7th); the Thanksgiving winds are blowing a couple of the usual Dittoheads to the dinner table. They are NOT MY relatives (see other side of the family).

Consistently annoying Ditto head #1 will say, "please pass the mashed potatoes." To which I have a choice of how to reply.....

Ummmmmmm. Any advice?

Happy Thanksgiving all ya wonderful DUers!

1. Why subject yourself to it at all? n/t

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

2. Don't use the mashed potatoes. Go for the cranberry sauce; it stains.

Or if your family serves that icky sweet potato and marshmallow dish, try that. It's really sticky.

[Mythsaje]

3. "Sure. You can have mashed potatoes...

but you can't have Congress."

:evilgrin:

[redwitch]

5. Troublemaker!

:-)

[proud patriot]

7. evil evil

I love it :evilgrin:

[RiverStone]

16. Oh, I like that!

Thanks y'all. I'll let you know if I start a food fight. We DEMS would win that too!

[Jackpine Radical]

4. "I'll pass them after I've digested them."

[ktlyon]

6. let him eat crow

we won

[williesgirl]

8. Better yet, smile - be gracious - say you're in such a good mood due to election results!

[Nikki Stone1]

9. Tater tots. You can throw them and not have the same cleanup nightmare

:)

10. Valium for you...Roofies for the potatoes (for everyone else)

Then take the whole turkey into the living room impaled with a fork and knife, strip naked, turn on the game and enjoy. Then take all of the Christmas cash from everyone's purses and wallets.

Later, help your relatives from the kitchen floor in time to help clean up, and tell them it must have been the tryptophan.

Then head to the mall for a Christmas shopping bonanza to remember. Call on the way back to your home town that you are sorry you had to run, but thanks for Turkey Day and we'll have to do it next year.

(worked for me four years runnning)

11. I have no good advice ...

Tomorrow I'll be around one intelligent person with a political conscience and one intelligent person who doesn't like to argue and thus will just take a Valium and let it all float by, my daughter and mother respectively. That leaves me in the position of trying to figure out how not to shove the mashed potatoes down the rest of their faces and weighing the pros and cons of letting my daughter do it and thus starting a family war.

And the hell of it is, I can't just escape by taking my daughter to the bar that opens on Thanksgiving around 2pm, which is where I'd go in previous years when she wasn't there.

I imagine my daughter and I will end up back at my place not long after we've stuffed ourselves, watching movies.

12. Tell him "mashed potatoes for the turkey."

[whistle]

13. Take sour-kraut in zip lock bags and dump that on their heads instead

[Atman]

14. I think of how the taters are so much more valuable than any republican

Why waste spuds on puds?

.

[Richard Steele]

30. Exactly. I would NEVER waste good taters that way.

Just pee in his mimosa, and leave the side dishes alone!

[Raine]

15. We won

they lost, the laugh is on them. :evilgrin:

[A Brand New World]

17. Just tell them to "get over it." How many years did we have to

hear that?

[Botany]

18. Change the Subject

Do you think that the Evening Grosbeaks
will come by this year?



Say how about those Buckeyes?




How was your drive? Much Traffic?



Has having a really little penis been a problem for you?



You are DU warrior fear not and keep it light .... We will all be
worm food someday.

[KingFlorez]

19. Just say

Don't you just love Speaker Pelosi and Majority Leader Reid?

[DocSavage]

24. If you are at my

house with my family, better try a better line that that softball. Since September or so they have just been licking thier chops at the thought of this for 2 years. They would be slapping you on the back and giving each other high fives.

[Tinksrival]

20. I have the same problem

I decided that I would read General Clark's email I recieved. It will sting but with style and grace of Wes Clark's words, :evilgrin:

President Lincoln understood that even at a time of conflict and rancor, we as a nation and a people have much for which we should be thankful and created the national holiday that we celebrate tomorrow. As we gather with our friends and family tomorrow to celebrate Thanksgiving, let's remember in detail what it is for which we give thanks.

Today, as in Lincoln's time, we must remember that our armed forces are fighting in far off lands and we must keep them and their families in our thoughts and prayers.

Let us be thankful for the blessings of democracy. Millions of voters went to the polls this month to make their voices heard and to change the course of our government. While strife and civil war grip many parts of the world, the marvel of the peaceful transition of power is taking place in America and it is worthy of our gratitude.



Thanks Wes! :patriot:

[madrchsod]

21. smile and the world smiles with you

[DocSavage]

22. I always sit

the food throwers at the kids table. Want a bib too?

[Swede]

23. "You'll have to pry the gravy bowl from my cold dead hands"

:shrug:

[Spirochete]

25. Use the turkey : get them to fight over the right wing

and they'll throw the potatoes on each other, and you won't have to.

[Nick Fallon]

26. To hell with that

A good fist to the face is the most effective.

[westy1080]

27. It's Thanksgiving.

Why do you have to talk about politics on this day? If they bring it up, change the subject. You're better than them. Today should be a day to celebrate, not a day where you get into a fight with other people.

[GCP]

28. Act like an adult

That might work

[zanne]

29. Don't act like an adult...

Shove peas up their noses!

[maine_raptor]

31. Just do it

And has he's wiping the spuds off his face, say; "I just wanted to see how hard it was to put food on my family."

[lonestarnot]

32. Ugh how bout eat 'em. They are worth wasting on the likes of repigs.
