…Or A Mail-Order Bride

Thankfulness

November25

While my initial plans for Thanksgiving included sitting on my ass at home alone, I’ve been kidnapped by my savage crotch parasites (who were aghast that I was planning to avoid the festivities) and am in a car on my way to Wisconsin. I’m hoping they’ll drop me at the Mars Cheese Castle, but I doubt it’s open.

Simply put, the Mars Cheese Castle is the 9th Wonder of the World (my ass is #8) and while Wisconsin and Illinois have a longstanding war, I like to think the Cheese Castle is really in Illinois.

I’d been planning to write something different here today about what I’m thankful for, but really, I think I said it best over on Band Back Together. And since the Internet is closed on holidays, I expect a whole lot of Viag!a robots to “read” this.

But I did mean it and it showed that somewhere in there, I do have feelers beyond “pass the donuts.”

Happy Thanksgiving, Pranksters.

    You’re Canadian fans don’t have Thanksgiving so I came here because the internet is NOT closed on holidays….oh god shoot me if that ever happens! What would I do with the other 18 hours of my day when I’m not sleeping?
    Happy Thanksgiving and glad you’re on your way to celebrate the holiday. Can’t wait for the goodies you’ll have to share after this weekend.

    A castle? Of cheese?? A CHEESE CASTLE????? Is that like Cheesecake Factory…you know, something that sounds WAY awesomer than it turns out to actually be?! I want pictures of this cheese castle. Cuz that sounds like a dream come true to me!!!

  12. On November 25th, 2010 at 1:18 pm Your Aunt Becky Says:

    It is so much better than the Cheesecake Factory. The Cheesecake Factory is bullshit by comparison!

    Where in Wisco are you headed?!? I am a Cheesehead… not by choice! (although I never make FIBs jokes, and am one of the worst drivers on the planet!)

    We may have a shot at getting MiMi and Livy together! BFF’s baby!

  14. On November 25th, 2010 at 1:17 pm Your Aunt Becky Says:

    Milwaukee, baby!

    We are headed to Barrington, IL from Milwaukee, WI today. Anytime we head toward Chicago, we stop at the Mars Cheese Castle. It is a gift from the gods, no two ways about it!

  16. On November 25th, 2010 at 1:15 pm Your Aunt Becky Says:

    The Castle is CLOSED. BULLSHIT. Barrington is like right by my house…

    Well, Viag!a robots will read ANYTHING.

    But that was an excellent post.

    And I am unfamiliar with a number of the wonders of the world it seems.

    I should remedy that someday.

  18. On November 25th, 2010 at 1:15 pm Your Aunt Becky Says:

    I will show you my ass. And the Cheese Castle.

    LOVE the Mars cheese castle! Every time we drove by, I insisted on stopping in at the bar to enjoy a Spotted Cow and some of their free cheese spread on Ritz crackers 🙂

    We so need to plan a Pranksters Field Trip.

    I’m thankful for Band Back together, because I really need an outlet! Sorry bout the cheese being closed. but on the up side you don’t have to cook.

  22. On November 25th, 2010 at 4:28 pm Your Aunt Becky Says:

    That’s a HUGE upside, yo.

  23. On November 25th, 2010 at 3:39 pm Jaimie Says:

    Not all of your pranksters have thanksgiving today! What about us Canadians, eh? I guess that means I have to actually work while at work, instead of getting lost in the post and all the comments! Damn you Aunt Becky! 🙂 haha Oh, and happy thanksgiving!

  24. On November 25th, 2010 at 4:27 pm Your Aunt Becky Says:

    Bwahahaha! (I hate Thanksgiving enough that I’ll totally become an honorary Canadian for the day).

  25. On November 26th, 2010 at 1:19 am karen Says:

    And I love you for hating Thanksgiving. I think Canada might even cancel ours in honour of you.

  26. On November 25th, 2010 at 3:47 pm Emthe Says:

    C’mon! You know you’re interested in mindless junk that won’t leave for four hours! Viag!a junk is the zombie of junk. You literally* have to hack it apart with a shovel for it to die. Please come try our little blue pill. We know you’ll like it**.

    Love,
    Viag!a

    *Correct usage. I mean it. Get your shovel out and prepare to swing.

    **Who doesn’t love undead dick?

    I can’t believe the cheese castle is closed today. Do they not know how thankful people are for cheese?

    Happy Thanksgiving – even if you had to go to Wisconsin…

    The only way the Cheese Castle could sound better to me is if they have a bacon moat. PLEASE tell me they have a bacon moat! Because I will totally haul my Texas ass up to Wisconsin right friggin’ NOW!

  29. On November 25th, 2010 at 9:44 pm Kristin Says:

    Happy Thanksgiving beautiful. I would totally go to the Mars Cheese Castle with you.

    Yay! T-day is over…. I’m thankful for the laughter and light you bring Aunt Becky!
    I think these are Leonard Cohen’s words:
    “Ring the bell that still can ring
    Forget your perfect offering
    There’s a crack in everything
    That’s how the light gets in “
