Regarding the Thanksgiving dinner thing: wow, I was having a conversation about this just the other day with Jason and Robert. Maybe they brought it up with you? Anyway, Jason reacted with total shock when Robert and I informed him that most people have Thanksgiving in the afternoon, and then insisted that it must be a southern thing. But what do you say about it, anyway?

nope, all of the conversations I've had with jason recently have been ass-related. that's all I say about it, really (and actually, I got it from my mom): all the jews I know have thanksgiving in the evening, and all of the non-jews do it in the early afternoon. point of the post being, of course, how you can make all sorts of judgements about a group if you're part of it.

but the fact that you guys also had the conversation about it, with exactly the same results, confirms it even more. weird.

I think I'm more an amalgamation of Christmas Present and Future. Clearly.
