...So I'm faithfully and efficiently peeling a buncha Granny Smith's for tomorrow's apple pie ( I do the entire holiday meal thing ) using a Buck 444 that I just picked up and I'm distracted by some program the daughter is watchin' on the tube about etiquette during the Thanksgiving holiday meal. Here's this bimbo tellin' me how to properly slice the turkey, hold the fork prior to insertion into my gaping mouth, spooning pre-meal soups the PROPER way, how important it is to use a pre-meal prayer which will not offend anyone at the table who might take offense should their beliefs differ from ours and other assorted "HOG-WASH" all designed to make tomorrow's meal about as appetizing as an old shoe dragged outa the septic tank...All I gotta say is that the turkey will be torn off the bones in chunks of the the size to please everyone who intends to eat, the soup ( who the hell serves soup for Thanksgiving?? :confused: ) would be chugged outa the bowl or cup it's served in WITHOUT A SPOON! ! ...and the prayer will be what I intend to give thanks for regardless of who's at the table...Last year it was..."Over the teeth and through the gums...Watchout belly...HERE IT COMES...Amen..." Oh yeah...Thanks for a great year with family and great "Buck Buddies"...Amen again"...Happy Thanksgiving friends...

Hi DarrylS,

LOL.....I thought you were about to tell us you cut yourself peeling apples and watching TV at the same time. Enjoying your turkey day with family and friends is what it's all about. Don't wear yourself out with all that cooking stuff.....LOL....this will be the first year in about 15 years that I'm not cooking the meal......my daughter is hosting this year :D . God Bless and thank you to everyone for putting up with my D...A..

Happy Turkey Day Buck Brothers!!!
Don't forget you can come hide in this bar when the family gets to ya tomorrow. I know I will be here from time to time checking on the latest rants :)
 
Darryl,
Now that sounds like my kind of Thanksgiving feast! Too much, or rather any, formality kinda takes from the whole experience. I have my traditions, I like to thank God for those who would put up with me enough to share such a special occasion with me and my family.
I always cook a turkey because my wife and her side of the family don't make dressing like I like it. They also cook one with dressing the way they like it and we both poke fun at each others tastes. :)
If it isnt going to be fun, then why bother? :D
I hope everybody has a safe and fun Thanksgiving!

:) ...Amen to that Joe...You, your family and all of the truly nice folks I've met, since getting involved with this great forum, will be in my prayer of Thanksgiving tomorrow. All of you "BuckFanaticos" are in my thoughts to the "Senior Member" on any given day where the need seems to be greatest. Tomorrow is TURKEY DAY however...Never needed formalities or any form of etiquette at all...jus' LOTSA turkey and all the stuff that goes with it...Then I'll tell Him again...Thanks for letting me meet all these great guys and maybe gals...LOL...:thumbup:
PS...That's all the "smoke-blowin' " for you guys til after the first of the year...:rolleyes: :p
 
I have many things to be thankful for...you all will be in my thoughts...not just tomorrow...I be thankful every day:D.

Tomorrow is a special day that is shared and enjoyed with family and friends, I agree that formality is not needed because we are with those that we love and love us.

Now that said the thing that I'm wondering about is which 120 Trax is going to use to carve the bird;) Preston
 
...Kind of a neat position for Trax to be in Preston...So many 120's to choose from...decisions, decisions...LOL...I'm gonna use a "Hamilton-Beach" ...3400 spm...LMAO...:eek: :eek: :D

Happy thanksgiving to all!!! It has been a great year, Thanks to all of you guys!! I hope all of the "Buck fanatics" have an excellent and safe holiday!
 
Some day I will share my protocol for addressing those who greet me with "Happy Holidays!" in an effort to "not offend anyone of different beliefs."

It came to me in December of 2005.

:D I know, I know, Goose beat me to it but, well, Happy holidays to Rhino and all fellow Buck knives enthusiasts :D
 
Hah! Okay, I will share.

First of all, assume it is Christmas time. The proper thing to do if you celebrate Christmas is to say, "Merry Christmas!" If you choose not to do so, just say, "Hello!"

Now, when someone says, "Happy Holidays" and I know (or suspect) they are being politically correct and doing their little part to further secularize America, the response it:

1. Smile
2. Suckerpunch them in the head (yelling "Suckerpunch! like Cotton Hill is optional, even if you've never killed fiddy men)
3. After they go down, commence to kicking and stomping
4. With the rhythm of the kicks and stomps coinciding with the syllables, recite the following:

"Merry F&%$#ing Christmas, you Jesus-hatin' motherF&%$#er!"

5. Compose yourself, adjust clothing if necessary, smile, and go on about your day.

Repeat as necessary. :D
 
yikes rhino thats kinda harsh :p :D
merry christmas to you but generally i say happy holidays not to be politically correct or anything like that but rather that my birthday is just before halloween and a lot of my friends are between that and christmas so from just before halloween to after the new year is considered a holiday/festive season by us :D
so happy holidays to all of you's knifeknuts :p :D

It's no wonder your handle is Rhino.....LMAO,

The verbiage "Happy Holidays" is from us working stiffs. We are happy that we have three holidays coming to us at this time of year!!!!!! Thanksgiving, Xmas, and News years. Saying happy holidays has nothing to do with any political crap what so ever. The day that I posted "Happy Holidays" here on this site was on thanksgiving day........I hate it when people say "Merry Christmas" to me before that holiday (thanksgiving) is even over.......To me that's offensive because you are trying to omit an American holiday.....by lumping it into a totally commercialized Christmas season. There is 27 more working days before my next holiday at work.......I'm looking forward to spending that time off with my family......and we will celebrating the birth of Jesus.....followed by the celebration of the new year :D . So with what I have said above "Happy Holidays" and I hope everyone has a safe and wonderful Christmas. Oh......and above all else.......Rhino......"Merry Christmas".

Rhino...LOL...LOL...ROTFLMAO...LOL...but I don't think the punching is in the spirit of Christmas. Well maybe...

I almost always say "Merry Christmas". I saw all this "PC" stuff coming when my kids were younger out here in the left coast. The schools were changing it to "Winter Break" instead of "Christmas Break". Easter became "Sping Break". Then it started at work...same thing.
When I was a kid, we called it what it was. And look, I turned out "normal".
