Advanced best wishes for the upcoming holiday. Remember, no ARC AAAs hanging on the drumsticks at the dinner table.

I'm thankful for this fine forum, and the classy folks who come and share.

p.s. I wish I still had the Bloom County comic where one kid says grace before Thanksgiving dinner, ending with something like , "thanks for this turkey, which was probably recently nuzzling it's young with almost human-like compassion. Anyway, it's dead now and we're gonna eat it."

You mean from Friends, where they get locked out and the Thanksgiving dinner goes up in smoke?

WARNING!!
If anybody's cooking a bird today, check your oven carefully before turning it on!

Apparently, the Hamburger Helper hand often sleeps in the oven, clinging to the top burner and remaining out of sight. Since it knows most people would be freaked out by a walking, talking, disembodied hand, it hides here instead of popping out of your cupboards at random and scaring the poop out of you.

This sets you up for a very unfortunate accident:

So check those ovens, and check 'em well the next time you fire it up to bake a cake or do the Thanksgiving bird.

yep, wouldn't want him to lose any more fingers...even if they do expand to fill up the gap. One big one, especially in the middle, could really be embarrassing. Get him put away or explain the right way to behave well before guests start arriving. Tip: invite Wilson (you know from Castaway?) over. He'll be happy, stay busy for hours

Yup, I made that myself. I found a picture of an oven on an appliance website, and a picture of "The Evil Mutant Hand" on another website, and spent about an hour in Photoshop manipulating them into a new picture. I had to modify the hand's lighting profile & color temperature, "burn" the fingers, and add the reflection of the red nose on the bezel of the oven window as a finishing touch. I probably could have done better, but an hour was long enough.

That's always a good one.

<P>[Picture of a rat eating turkey dinner]<P>This lucky rat got a full Thanksgiving dinner with all the trimmings. There's turkey (both white and dark), stuffing, mashed potatoes & gravy, yams, peas, and cranberry sauce. And pumpkin pie for dessert later on. [image]images/icons/smile.gif" border="0[/image]

Cool... what where the web sites (for the evil hand and the appliance)?

Yeah, chandler with a turkey on his head
smile.gif
hehe... wait... did he wear the turkey? I remember Joey wearing it, but not sure about Chandler....

Have you thought about making money creating web sites for companies?

You're probably right. I really don't follow the series closely enough to get all the names right 100% of the time.

Sure I've *thought* about it. But I don't know nearly enough to actually go out there and *do* it. Hell, I can't even make a simple table or form, so I couln't imagine how things would go trying to write javascript, cgi, or perl that many sites need for things like online shopping carts, secure server handling, credit cards, and pop-up informational windows.

Besides, if I had to start devoting all of my time learning that stuff, the poor old LED Museum would start suffering from neglect and I wouldn't have time to do my tests and handle all the e-mail.
