50 Things to be Thankful For
Posted by Stephen Green  ·  27 November 2003

Morning wood
Beer chilling in the snow
Remembering the beer before the bottles explode
NYFD
Nipples
Ribeye steaks, seared and rare
Kisses
Loud parties
Quiet moments
Drawing yet another breath
Smith & Wesson & ammo
Beethoven's Für Elise
The standup comedy of Dana Gould
Gillette's Mach 3 Turbo and Venus
Cheap red wine
Bratwurst at the ballgame
The United States Armed Forces
Aces over kings
Cigars still legal
Hot, soapy showers
Pretty girls in convertibles
Tequila
When she does that thing without you even asking
Pouring the turkey gravy on everything
Real fireplaces
Did I say "nipples" already?
Ready bail money
Friends who just drop by
The Sharper Image catalog
Big screen HDTVs
With 6.1 sound
The Corvette C6
Making her squeal on Christmas
Just one good hunting knife
Whatever that perfume is she's wearing
Finally having your own "dad chair"
"Diamonds," my wife says over my shoulder
"And puppies."
A Denny's Grand Slam after Last Call
Macadamia nut chocolate chip cookies
When no assembly is required
The Lord of the Rings movies
Victoria's Secret, 'nuff said.
The hot wings at Culpepper's
Winning Lord Stanley's Cup -- twice
If I said "nipples" already, then how about breasts?
Compiling silly lists instead of doing real work
Each and every Absolut Citron martini
807 days, and counting, since we were last attacked
"And me," she yells from the other room

Comments

"Last Call"

What's Last Call???

i live in New Orleans, we don't use that term down here.

That was a good list Steven.

I'll take two of everything.

Well, except for the bride. I hear more than one makes the other cranky.

Stephen - A very Happy Thanksgiving to you and Melissa. I have been an "every day" reader for nearly a year and have enjoyed your commentary and the obvious love for each other that comes through your writing.

All the best, Terry Reynolds

That drink of which you speak that contains Absolut Citron, while no doubt tasty, is no martini.

A proper martini is made with gin. Preferably a good gin....but even that is not necessary.

Happy Thanksgiving.

Winning the Stanley Cup 3 times is even better... especially if you're the hottest team in the NHL right now and have the world's best goalie.

GO DEVILS!

Great list, even bereft as it was of any mention of P-51D Mustangs and The Green Bay Packers. Have a good one Amigo.

You forgot baseball -- and any team that beats the Yankees.

Posted by: David Crawford at November 27, 2003 10:29 AM

The Leafs are just biding their time. Soon, the precious will be ours...

Posted by: Sean Kirby at November 27, 2003 12:53 PM

Damn, Paul beat me to what I was going to say. I know not of this "last call" thing. :-p

Mr. Green, et. al.,

I hope that you and yours have had a good day so far, and that you have a great dinner. (We went out for lunch... I don't know what, if anything, we'll have enough room for tonight.)

I haven't been feeling too well today, but today is supposed to be the day where we put aside our angst and worries, and observe and celebrate this day, and while reflecting on the meaning of this occasion.

I hope that I can remember that today, and for this weekend.

And I hope that you, your family, and all of the other readers at your great site have an excellent day, and a pleasant, happy, and safe weekend as well...

Happy Thanksgiving, and God Bless!

- The 2-year old hugging your neck as tightly as she can.

- Dropping 10 lbs right before Thanksgiving

- The sound of cold rain high in the trees

- A beam reach

- American Cabernet

- The knowledge that one day - hopefully not *too* soon - it will be your job to host Thanksgiving dinner

Dim lights, thick smoke, and loud, loud music.

You did mention nipples, right?

Just checking.

You did, however, leave out "women in thigh length skirts and knee high boots".

Yowza!

Cheese and DVDs.

Posted by: aaron at November 28, 2003 10:56 AM

I see you included cigars but what happened to the Grey Goose Vodka? Or the humidor for the cigars....might as well be thankful for it all and the ability to still buy it in America.
