... What was clearly intended to be "in search of human blood" was printed as "in search of hymen blood". This was WELL before electronic spell checking so it must have been intentional.

We don't watch "Wizard of Oz" on Thanksgiving, but we ALWAYS, ALWAYS play "Alice's Restaurant".

every year when I was growing up; I don't think it was actually ON Halloween, though, as everyone was out trick-or-treating. That was back in the days where we'd take our neighbor's home-made treats without a second thought.

Alice's Restaurant? Yes...a couple of people would get out their guitars and we'd go around again, and again...didn't need to get out the lp.

Our Thanksgiving meal is on Friday. We use Thursday for preparation. It makes life easier. We just take it easy, work on food, play games, joke, drink, have a good time, and then Friday we're set to cook everything and eat whenever we feel like it. Works great.

The only thing other than "Alice's Restaurant" that we do is watch "Nightmare Before Christmas". I love that movie.
