Thanks

It's that time of year again. It's the "Holiday Season", the time of year where families get together, eat lots of food and sit indoors and put on those "holiday pounds". But more importantly, this upcoming week is Thanksgiving. You know the deal: turkey, stuffing, deserts, and football. It all started with those Pilgrims being thankful that those wonderful Native Americans saved their asses, so we celebrate how thankful we are by eating a lot and falling asleep on the couch while balls are thrown for touch downs. Beautiful. All joking aside, I thought I'd go a different route this week and ask folks what they are thankful for. So, here are this years most notable quotes on what people are thankful for. Oh, and to protect identities, I've changed all of the names. So if you a strange name, you'll understand why.

-Cornelius Q. Power: "To be honest, I'm thankful for women. Women are nice. They're pretty. Sexy for some. And, well, I know that I'm not gay so there's always hope that women will like me."

-Hercules J. Rockefeller: "Alcohol. I really love alcohol. I'm thankful for the inventors of such great stuff. Oh man, I need a Coors Light right now. Did I mention cigarettes?"

-Iggy Sandoval: "Well, I'd have to say I'm thankful for books. Think about it, books are perfect for everything. Feel like reading? Book. Need to wipe your ass? Book pages. Need to hit someone? Big book. Need to keep warm? Start a fire with a book as the fuel. Man, tell me books aren't awesome."

-Billy D. Skywalker: "Food, man. Food. I'm thankful for food. Hotdogs. Pizza. Lasagne. Apple Pie. Cookies. Lemon-Pepper Chicken? Oh man, have you had those new Teriyaki Buffalo Wings from Applebees? Damn, those things are awesome. But yeah, I think food is the way to go. I mean, look at all the holidays. Nothing but food."

-Johnny Montauk: "I'm thankful for family. There's nothing like family. And I think Thanksgiving is the perfect time for family."

-C. Anderson Honeycutt: "I'm thankful for cars. Big honkin' muscle cars to little bitty electric cars. There is honestly nothing more beautiful than a well-designed car. Have you ever seen a '67 Chevelle? Now there is a think of beauty. If that doesn't make you thankful, I don't know what will."

-Rudy Ray Einstein: "I'm really thankful for people. I think the world would be really boring if there weren't people."

-Iris Tolstoy: "I would say family, but that would be really cliché. So I think I'll go with boys. Boys are nice if you find the right one. Chiselled abs, a cute smile, and deep blue eyes. That's hot. Like, if they looked like Brad Pitt. That'd be so hot. Or Chad Michael Murray. Mmmmmm."

So that's just a few reasons to be thankful that people have expressed. From women, to food, to muscle cars, to Brad Pitt, people are thankful for a myriad of things. And so should you. Be thankful for all that good stuff you've got. Even if it's weird as these people. So Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
