Thanksgiving & Things

On Saturday evening Sport Hater and I attended a Thanksgiving Dinner hosted by the delightful Real Sport Hater. One must complement Real Sport Hater and, her better half, Deprived Husband for a wonderful meal and somewhat mediocre company supplied by one or two of the other guests.

During a fun packed evening, that included making paper planes from After Eight wrappers, I was told that my post would be eagerly anticipated to find out the names chosen for the various people present.

In order to obtain a Cast Name for appearances on this Log one must do something extraordinarily special to warrant inclusion. Some of those present did/have and are therefore included below:

Invertebrate With Bite
Limited Film Buff
Merry Smiler
Cheeky Laugh

Those who attended will notice a missing name. This is purely because people who request names are automatically denied pending investigation by the Tired & Emotional Accreditation Approval Panel. Reasons for not granting admission can include:

1. Being a fan of neighbours,
2. Singing and listening too music with a finger in your ear,
3. Not liking sport but liking very poorly acted and badly written Australian soap operas'
4. Paying to see members of said soap appear in pub bands that do covers of successful and talented people,
5. Inability to accept that animals can actually talk and therefore films such as Chicken Run are accurate portrayals of real life,
6. Being able to make better paper planes than Limited Film Buff,
7. Visiting site of said soap while on holiday in Oz. There are much better things to see and do there you know.
8. Liking The Princess Diaries and thinking that this has artistic merit when compared with Casablanca, The Godfather or The Searchers.

Things that may offset such deficits include:

1. Liking "Real" Ale,
2. Knowing the words to Vole Love and Wombat on My Knee,
3. Plying Tired & Emotional with vast quantities of alcohol over New Year,
4. Making irreverent words to popular hymns and chrouses,
5. Appreciating that Tired & Emotional is her intellectual and cultural superior,
6. Being a Deacon and slightly deranged.

We will therefore consider the application and make a ruling in due course. Submissions in support, or against, will be accepted.
