Mad Dog Weekly http://www.maddogproductions.com A weekly dose of Mad Dog humor en-us The Secret Life of Thanksgiving http://www.maddogproductions.com/ds_thanksgiving2008.htm It’s almost Thanksgiving, the holiday that begins with watching giant over-inflated balloons and winds up with us sitting on the couch feeling like one. It’s the day when we spend five hours cooking a turkey that will be a burp in twenty minutes, and the day we pull out the Art of War so we can plot a strategy to outflank, outsmart, and outbuy everyone when we hit the stores at 5:00 a.m. on Black Friday. But mostly, it’s a day of giving thanks.
