Thanksgiving in MA gripe

Before I go downstairs, so this is purely theoretical at this point.

But why the hell is there a fucking law requiring supermarkets to stay closed on Thanksgiving?

Our butts were saved on any number of occasions in GA when we were able to run out for a last-minute item.

(Don't get me started on the whole lack of beer or wine in grocery stores here.)

Happy Turkey Day, for those who live in the US, and happy Thursday to those who don't. I'l be offline for most of the day, of course.

Holy crap!

The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade got Rickrolled!

Heh

Max spent a lot of time lying on my laptop today, and appears to have done an accidental search for "1002-0000000000ppuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiijj" (based on the open tab).

He got no results, but Google asked if he meant "-0000000000 ppuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiijj" instead. I clicked that, only to find that it was empty, too. I guess there's a gig or two of data at Google tracking attempted searches by felines, all of which come up empty.
