re: Yearly Thanksgiving Play By Play Gamethread

This happened 15 years ago but wth:

First Thanksgiving I spent with FIL and his family at wife's Grandparents house. Whole family is pretty crazy except her uncle and wife. We're all sitting in the living room after eating and I was flipping through TV channels looking for a fb game. Uncle comes in and sits in the recliner and grabs another TV remote and starts going through channels. Every time he would stop on a show I would change the channel with my remote (he didn't know I had a second remote). Dude gets pissed and yells for his dad that their TV is screwed up. This went on for a minute and I showed him the second remote. Everyone laughs and he comes and sits by me to start bs'n. I'm like hey man I'm going to the store to grab some beer you want something. Dude hands me a twenty and said get him a case of beer. I get back from the store and uncle is in the driveway. I hand him the beer and he starts pounding them away. At this point my wife is ready to go home so we say our goodbyes and leave. A few days later my wife gets a call from her dad informing her that uncle and his wife are getting divorced. Come to find out he was struggling with alcoholism and after he smoked the beers he lit up a joint. Wife comes out to see what he's up to, only to find him drunk and high. Guess she had told him beforehand one more time and we're through. So I ended up feeling like a pos but nobody knew about his struggles other than her.
