Hump Thanksgiving Day

1. Hump the Government for giving us this wonderful holiday. It’s one of the things I actually like about our political nation.

2. Hump a few things I’m thankful for:
My family
A roof over our head
Our troops & our freedom
My job (as bad as I resent it sometimes)
Grandma’s dressing
O2 and H2O
Indoor plumbing, electricity, and central heat and air
Fire
Friends
My health

I have left out lots of stuff. I use this holiday as a time to be thankful for the things I have that I sometimes take for granted.

3. I wanna hump the people who commented on this “toy” I saw at the store last night. Crystal said it was probably a "Will I have a boyfriend" type deal. Nope. It's a "real" Ouija board. Nothing says Merry Christmas like summoning demons. I dunno if a pink one is in response to keeping things politically correct and/or that paranormal activity movie or not but some of the comments are… well… you decide. I am having a hard time telling if some of them are serious or not. Here’s a link to the comments.


4. Hump all of the support we have seen over the last few weeks. It’s seems that the more people try to bring us down; we are showed more love by people that want just the opposite. Thank you! You know who you are. You guys are the reason I was able to go to the store in #3. Our kids will have some Christmas this year.

5. Hump the GI lab tech that gave me at least 3-4 hours of good laughs. Oh how I wish Crystal were blogging again because she can tell it way better than I could. When she was asking for a stool sample she said “Would you like to drop it now or send it in later?” Ok, first of all… “Would I like to drop it NOW?” What! Like I’m just holding onto it for the right moment. Okayyy. If I were saving it for later, how would you prefer I “send it in?” You want a stamp on a Ziploc baggie right above your address written in sharpie? Gross! Needless to say, yesterday was a crappy day full of shitty puns.

I hope #5 doesn't ruin your holiday appetite. Have a Happy Thanksgiving. More Ambien stories to come.

OMG I laffed so hard on the GI story. Please try to convince Crystal to do a guest post here or expand the story. Pretty please with pink ponies on top? Miss the everyday stories you guys tell.

Babs said...

BTW, did you read your disclaimer above? I just did and there's a typo in there that made me chuckle. No wonder ppl give you crap off topic, you invited them with somewhat no topic! LOL just thought you may want to know, no need to publish. :)

Mr. Mcknob said...

LOL. Thanks Babs!!! I'm teh king of typos.

Becky..AMHW said...

Well duh, you ask the cutesy pink Ouiji board when to drop your stool sample.

Mr. Mcknob said...

I fixed it... I hope. Was there more than one?

I really think that those people leaving the comments about the Ouija board were being completely serious. That's just a 'lil bit scary in my opinion. And what's with the pink board? Would someone really think that it would be the "perfect" gift for their little girl this upcoming Christmas season? Oh, and tell Crystal we (me and a co-worker) miss her!

Little Ol' Liz said...

Happy Hump to you and yours, sir!

My Ouija board wasn't pink -- I'd be very put out if it was. Those comments are too funny.

But given the state of Health Care these days, using a Ouija might be the fastest way to get your GI results. More accurate, too.

Just saying.

Chedder Fish said...

I laughed at the Ouija board comments. While Spirit boards do have a dark history technically Ouija Boards started as a board game- Produced by Parker Brothers-Yeah like the Monopoly, Risk and Trivial Pursuit people. haha

It does make sense that it would be on the shelves for slumber parties so if those comments are from people who really bought it for their daughter to talk to grammy and grampy... that's just silly.

Amy said...

I am glad to see you're still blogging. I really miss Crystal :( I am also glad your kids are going to be able to have a Christmas!

Loved the GI story too..hehe

Sarah said...

Those ouija board comments are AWESOME. Thanks for the chuckle! By the way, have you ever checked out the comments on the "three wolf tshirt" on amazon? http://tinyurl.com/ybc8s3t I particularly like "The Three Wolf and Moon shirt arrived in the mail last week. When I got home from work I found the shirt had torn itself out of the packaging, destroyed my mail box, broke into my house, slept with my wife, kicked my dog, and mowed my yard. Now it will not let me in the house."

Diana (aka "knzus") said...

Wowwwwwwwwww to the Ouija board commentators. Truly weirded me out! *spine shivers*

So glad there are people who are helping you. I run across folks online, like you guys, struggling so... and I soooo want to help. But we're barely on the level of suffering ourselves. Does the thought at least count? Really hope you guys aren't hurting too badly... you're in our prayers.

Have a really great Thanksgiving!

typso rule! :)

AlexClio said...

I really do love your hump days !

But ... Why isn't Crystal blogging anymore ..? so sorry if the question has already been answered !

Happy Thanksgiving !

Jacqueline said...

OMG...grandma and grandpa? REALLY? It's the party line!

In serious news, I hope you and yours have a Happy Thanksgiving.

And, I hope nothing bad is going on that required the GI Lab...sending good thoughts and prayers your way.

Janie B said...

Thanks for the stool story. It's ultimately food related, right?

I'll read the pink Ouiji comments in a minute and get back to you on that. I'll never have one in my house. Grandma had one when I was little. After reading "Ghost Hunting" and "Seeking Spirits" by Jason and Grant (the TAPS guys) I've been making sure every teen I know hears that those things are DANGEROUS. Why take a chance inviting something to bother you? Or worse.

Knox said...

I the purpose pf publicly acknowledging, but in a "disguised" way that someone helped you with Christmas a way to get other people to send you stuff? Maybe you think that people will feel bad that someone else beat them to the punch and continue to donate to you?

In all of the years that I rolled pennies to make sure that I had gas in the car, milk in the fridge, and presents under the tree, I never once resorted to begging or scamming people into helping me. Would it have been nice if someone rode in on a big white horse with some extra cash? Sure..... did I make a public display of it and prey on the goodness of very gullible people of the world? NO.
I wonder if you think because you might go to church for Christmas, if it erases all of the other things you have done all year, or maybe you are hoping that one of your readers will buy you an indulgence for church.

Mr. Mcknob said...

@Knox

You think you are the only person that has to roll pennies? I am hoping you were under the influence when you posted that. Thanking someone is now begging and scamming? Seriously? Sorry, nobody clued me into that one.

Public Display? My blog with a few readers per day is considered public display? When have I asked for anything? (No seriously. Show me.) Where's my donate tab? How would one send ME something if they didn't know how to get in touch with me?

Knox. look at what you are saying before you make it "public." Calm down and try to enjoy the holidays.

kandi-itsmyblog said...

Oh, Chris that big bag of FREE cash that you begged me to send you is on its way. Just thought you might wanna know.

Oh Knox, I put a couple thousand in there with YOUR name on it. So if you get a 'thank you' card from Chris, and you don't know what the hell it is for, then yeah, it was sneaky ole me! **sheepish**

I just wanted him to think you were actually human while he was rolling around in all the cash.

Sandy said...

Chris,
I wish Crystal was blogging, just to hear her story on the GI story....I bet it is priceless. Maybe when she comes back, she can recap for us!

Knox,
Why do you even come here? It's obvious you are not a fan, so stay away. I have never read any requests from Chris on this blog. And even if he had, what's it to you??

Chris don't let the losers like Knox get you down, just ignore them.

The pink Ouija board is for us wimmen over 40 to check ourselves out for breast cancer since the government has started the crawl toward rationing!

Tell Crystal I miss her.
