Blogorama: Truncated Turkey Day Edition

Not only did the Peanuts Gang isolate Franklin to his own side of the table, they also wouldn’t let Peppermint Pattie and Marcie sit together.

I’m going to keep it brief this week, what with the holiday coming and all. Most of you are already off work and on the road, so you won’t likely read this until sometime after the holiday. Still, here’s wishing you and yours safe travels and a Happy Thanksgiving!

There are those of who who can’t be with our families this Thanksgiving. To replicate what you’re missing, here’s a compilation of Nic Cage’s various over-the-top outbursts (warning: language!)

By the by, I love Nicolas Cage. There, I said it. And he’s freaking great in “Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans,” which is available to watch on Netflix’s instant streaming.

THIS WEEK: Laser Tag, saving turkeys, and eye pokes. THIS…IS BLOGORAMA.
