Waiting for the snot to stop running down my face. I'm at the wonderfull stage where your nose is completely blocked, so you cant blow it, but the super runny snot will still keep coming out.I hate it when that happens...
No I mean I truly hate it.
Me too. The pressure just builds in your head, your nose is raw from rubbing away snot, and I cant sleep because I have to keep wiping the snot.
OF course being naked is appropriate as I'm going to take a piping hot shower in the hopes of dislodging my nose blockage

What are stick biscuits?
*Looks innocent and maos*
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
No, this is a camping thing. I bet NH has done it.
You make a thick dough and wrap it around a stick and cook it over the fire. I've never been into it much myself; I'd rather cook in a pan over the fire. But hard-core backpackers measure the weight of *everything* and don't always like to bring niceties like cook pans.I belong to the Sam Gamgee school of camping. I schlep half a kitchen with me.

"God bless each and every one of you!" - Tiny Tim, Abe Lincoln, or Oprah Winfrey, at the first Thanksgiving, or fighting dinosaurs on Mars.

Nope; never done it. When my parents were planning the meals when we were young it was Bisquik pancakes made with water (truly foul), then later it was Quaker flavored instant oatmeal. The idea of carrying extra salt or baking powder just to make biscuits was beyond them.
Once I got old enough to carry a significant amount of weight (60+ lbs), I actually carried food that I liked. Biscuits have never fallen into that category for me; I've never been a big "breadlike substance" guy.
I did once carry a whole watermelon and 12-pack of beer up 8 miles and 3000' vertical, though. It was a nice lunch!
EDIT: Oh, and happy Thansgiving, those as are having it. I need to start cooking at 9:30 am, yet I won't know whether anyone's coming until 10:00 am. Should be an interesting day...

Hawaiian pizza is terrible. Pineapple shouldn't be eaten, especially on pizza.
These words. They make no sense...

I'm sorry, but I would be flattened like a pancake carrying the watermelon and 12 pack of beer up. I'd probably stick with dates/energy bars and jerky, and probably as much water as I can carry, though even 3l is rather heavy for me.

As someone that grew up in a large family enthusiastic for camping I'd be happy if I never have to use a camp stove ever again.
I'm also more than happy to pay extra if I don't have to murder my protein myself.
Don't get me wrong, I love nature and being outside, but my bed sure is warm and soft and it sure is nice not having to watch for bears or Zimmermans (a ridiculously common last name in southern Wisconsin) while you cook.

We're not going to celibate it at all. In fact we might put the kids to bed early tonight.

Because our kitchen is so small, I put the cranberries and the pecan pie out on the patio table on the deck to cool.
The f@#$ing squirrels stole half of the pecans off the top of the pie.

Hey guys. Just wanted to say thanks again on this day of remembering specifically to be, you know, thankful, for those of you who have helped me through a rough time. I know I'm not the most positive person; it takes me a lot of effort to remember my blessings. However, I can't forget my friends here who've had my back in more ways than I can count - often more than the people I know in person.
I wish nothing but the best for all of you.

Well, it all works out in the end:
Since Shiro's family lives in Kentucky, he stays in Fremont over Thanksgiving and feeds any wayward friends who have nowhere else to go. This year was going to be his smallest gathering ever, with just him, his son, and Lara Croft guy.
So we're bringing down OUR turkey and such and combining the feasts.
Yeah, it's 28 pounds of turkey for 7 people.
But it'll be fun nonetheless.

A (Possibly-)Apropos Thanksgiving Day Rant
So, I understand advertising. Someone purchases something from your store, and you want to encourage them to buy more, so you contact them in as unobtrusive a manner as possible (e-mail) and you say, "Hey! We're having a sale! Check out what we have!"
I think American Science and Surplus does it extremely well; I think it's one newsletter per month, with a few more per year for special events around Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Then there are stores like Fry's and Levis, which quite literally send you multiple e-mails a day. Seriously? As in, "We honestly believe that there are customers out there that this won't seriously piss off!"
Thankfully, many of them now have a, "Why are you unsubscribing?" list, and I get to say, "You send me too d**n many e-mails, stupid!"
Marketers just confuse me. They are an alien form of life.

That happened to me earlier - don't know what it was, but it's gone now.
I got back from a meeting about Brexit, where some people got very excited indeed, around 21:30, after which I did the ironing, then played the bass guitar.

Yeah bikes are very convenient. Make sure there's a place to put your phone and wifi, you could watch anime while cycling. If you got an indoor treadmill then you'd only manage to listen to Linkin Park on your phone. Running takes up too much concentration to watch YouTube.
