America is preparing to celebrate/survive Thanksgiving and Confessions of a Fanboy is ready to throw down. Bring me the finest turkeys and pumpkin pies in all the land!
I tried to think of Thanksgiving-themed songs for a Thanksgiving Day playlist, but the only song on my iPod that has the word “turkey” in it is [...]

These days, I’m happily married but still occasionally miserable. Now I commiserate with my iPod. We all have those days where we want to wallow [...]

…but I don’t mean because of bad words and filth talk.
