Paladin: Now can I see the rest of my game, Oon?

Oona: I still need to see a cooking show, to make up for that debacle – that didn’t count! How am I going to help make a special Thanksgiving dinner if I don’t learn something USEFUL?

Paladin: Aw, Oon, don’t worry – I heard Ms. Beamlette say she’d take us all out to dinner this year, so you don’t have to cook. Just relax, and be your beautiful self – for me *air kiss*.

 

 

Oona: *sigh*… You win. Here-- here’s the remote.

Paladin: That’s the spirit, Oon – there’s always next year – you’ll learn something about cooking by then. Erm, something MORE – something ELSE! Ummm

Oona: Oh, just WATCH your game already! **click**

 

 

Oona: On behalf of the Beamlette household, we all wish everyone on Zone of Zen and Realm of Resin a VERY happy Thanksgiving!

Paladin: And that YOUR team wins, too!

Zephyrus: Yes, have a wonderful holiday with your loved ones, right, Ms. Plum?

Tragic Plum: Oooh, yes… family AND friends… are SO important… ooooh

Angry Sparrow: Yeh – I always tankful for my sisters.

Buddha Girl: You said it, sister! An’ we tankful for ALL you Zoners and Realmers! *grin*

Levity aside, Thanksgiving is the time for taking stock, and doing something for others, too…
