TDS/TCR (Thanksgiving Hiatus)

TDS TCR

Gobble, Gobble.  Is it that time of year again?  Well, I could probably use the rest anyway though I’m happiest when I’m in my routine.  Comedy Central will have repeats.  Me?  I hate to repeat myself though I might, or I could do something else, or maybe nap (though vampire-like at this time of year I have a tendency to sleep in the daytime, work in the night time, I might not ever get home, which is incredibly dysfunctional if you have to work with people but does wonders for my solitary creativity).

For the sites we will be continuing as best we can in the usual fashion because of my firm belief that nobody needs you quite as much as they do during those periods when everything else is closed.  This weekend will see the conclusion of the 2014 Formula One season in Abu Dhabi and we will start putting up our Thanksgiving specials culminating in the Big Balloon Parade a week from today, and then whatever we can scrounge to see us through the Black Friday weekend when our dozens of readers are presumably greasing the gears of Amurrican ‘Free’ Market capitalism with their life blood and money.  Let’s not forget the money.

And that’s one thing I am thankful for.  Because of our low financial overhead I’m not perpetually in the position of coming to you as a mendicant, especially when you are sentimental and vulnerable and need that money your own damn self thank you very much.

Yeah, we’ll run ads if you want them and accept donations if that’s the kind of thing you feel you need to do to register your satisfaction with the product, but that’s not why I write.

I do it for art.

The one thing that never fails to gratify me is when you use our platform to express yourselves.  What I do is mostly structure, a wall you can hang your own canvas on.  The gift I would most like during this holiday period, the contribution that would have the greatest impact, is for you to decide that your voice is important; or at least important enough to be included here where the natives are mostly friendly (mostly) and I have set the bar so low you can hardly help but trip on it (have a nice fall).  Exceeding expectations is not optional, it’s hard to avoid.

Over the river and through the guilt a la casa de ek vamos.

Oh, you came here for the waters?  You were sadly misinformed.

Hey Nancy?  What Jon said.

The problem is not that he said it. The problem is that he thinks it. I’m serious. The core problem under the damn law is it was put together by a bunch of elitists who don’t really fundamentally understand the American people. That’s what the problem is.- Howard Dean
