Bought a sixteen pound fresh Turkey...but this isn't close to being fully thawed.
I'm confused: did you buy a fresh Turkey for cheap or a frozen one for a fair price (with a coupon)?

It was a "fresh" Turkey that wasn't completely thawed (thawed Turkey's are sold as fresh) at a great price plus two coupons.

Smile - My agent sent me a Pebble for Hanukkah/Christmas.
Amused - Regardless of wanting one previously, I am not quite sure what to use it for. I have a Rolex and dont wear a wristwatch daily.

Depending on what style of Rolex, I might be more than happy to purchase that from you.

And to be honest, what I really want is a fake Rolex. Always have wanted a fake Rolex.

Hmm I have a nice fake rolex. I believe it is fake. My great uncle gave it tonme and he thought it was real, though I am pretty confident it is fake.

Canal Street, and then Harlem in Chicago and no go on a Folex that is actually capable of keeping time.

Next time I go to Chinatown (was there just today) I'll keep an eye out for one.

I appreciate that. I've seen a few at antique stores, but there is always an issue: clasp doesn't clasp, "gold" or "silver" is chipping off, hands don't move...


Smile: I have a friend who manages a Cracker Barrel, and the entire duck dynasty thing has caused them a crapnado. First they pulled all dd product, then they replaced all dd product, so their facebook page and twitter account has been nothing short of hilarious as of late. It's an all out war zone and Cracker Barrel so far has zero damage control so the crazy claims being made by both dd supporters and dd haters have both been something else.

To add fuel to the fire, Cracker Barrel has had MAJOR issues with racism in the past and present so that's another hot topic on their social media outlets.

This also reminds me of the time I overheard my high school Earth science teacher say to another teacher, "Well, that's because the Cracker Barrel isn't for niggers or yankees".

Yeah, the Cracker Barrel is a pretty shitty chain politically. As a plus, they have pretty shitty food too, so not eating there is no big loss.
