Every year for the past four years I have been participating in the Torch Run Plunge for Special Olympics of Rhode Island, with my family, on behalf of my cousin who has special needs.

Today, we're having our Thanksgiving feast. Tomorrow, my wife (and our roommate, who also cooks) have to work. So today, we eat. I'm calling it "Firstgiving." Because we're first. Yeah, it's no "Friendsgiving," but it's something. My wife, eh, I don't think she's so crazy about the name.

Anyway, the first plus about dinner today (to ease the minus of not spending the day with our family) is that tomorrow, on Thanksgiving, I'll be able to watch the parade while eating leftovers. Like a time traveler. (I pause "Son of Kong" to make another little sandwich).

The second plus is I'm eating a Thanksgiving feast in a few hours. I'll be eating it at the same time as the Europeans.

I'll fill up on turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce, swallow pints of gravy, cram rolls like cotton balls into my mouth, then go for a stroll around my apartment complex.

"What's with that crazy gringo?" my neighbors will whisper as I half-shirt it down the block whistling "White Christmas."

Yep, that's what I'm gonna do. The meal will be the appetizer for the Feast of Leftovers, which is my new name for Thanksgiving this year.

Double Standard

This video contains some insane things I’ve heard. You can see how the ridiculousness of these double standards and assumptions glare when I arrange them side by side. Whatever trait you blame on atheism or attribute to religion, I can point to an abundance of examples to the contrary – and the excuses are usually quite laughable and transparent.

If somebody actually mistakes this as an anti-atheist video, then I’m going to have a trained monkey disengage the parking break of a large truck, which will be at the peak of a high hill. Meanwhile, I will be lying on the road at the bottom of the hill, where the truck will proceed to run over my face, thereby simultaneously ending my life and my disappointment with humanity.
