The more things change, the more they stay the same.

Holy crap, it's a Thanksgiving deja-vu miracle! Last year I commented about my family's Thanksgiving Day traditions of low-class dining and rented-footwear sportsmanship. So after today's festivities, I went back into my archives to compare bowling scores, and although I didn't realize it at the time, the similarities between this year and last are downright eerie:

- Same Bowling Alley/Restaurant
- Same Sutter Home White Zin
- Same Make-Shift Bluecheese Burger
- Same Relishing in the Senior Discount
- Same Madam Von Bighair:

(And again, if you're out there, Madam Von Bighair, there is truly no offense implied. In fact, it's a pleasure to see you there year after year. Just like some people find solace in green bean casserole on Thanksgiving, I find comfort in your impossibly high coiffure.)

- And last but not least, same exact high bowling score by dan:

That's right! 144, bitches!

Next year I might shake things up by substituting a baked potato for the fries.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING.

WOW, that really is creepy! Uncle Ray had his usual tofurkey with bean sprout stuffing. He once dated a Madam Von Bighair but hasn't seen her in years. Guess he needs to spend next Thanksgiving with you.

How is it possible for hair to be that voluminous? Honestly, I can't figure it out. Someone should do a study.....

My grandmother has hair almost that big - and I will share her secret. She wraps her head in toilet paper each night before she goes to bed. No foolin.
