Fun Druncles or Fighty Druncles? I have a Druncle who is quite a fun time at Thanksgiving
All my rowdiest Druncles are gone now and my generation really isn't picking up the flag. I haven't seen a fistfight at a family get-together since the early '90s but I'm going to do my part and punch somebody at Christmas.

I want to have Thanksgiving with you.
My normal Thanksgivings are very traditional and great fun.
This one is the “extended family” version that always has levels of functional insanity.
My grandmothers brother (my great uncle?) was a very successful businessman and sold his company for millions and then started another one and sold it for millions as well. The OT would recognize the name of one of the companies. Anyway, he has this large farm with 10 bedrooms and he always invites anyone who wants to stay for Thanksgiving. He really is a great guy and just wants to have the family spend time together. His wife is an alcoholic who keeps vodka hidden all over the house.
But there are several other “branches of the family tree” like this cousin who stick out like a sore thumb. The are the epitome of white trashy and make everyone uncomfortable. I am far from refined but I have enough sense not to act the way they do.
The BIG family reunions are like gathering up the infield at Talladega Speedway and bringing them up to the skyboxes for a nice meal.
Final update of the day to follow....

A couple thanksgivings ago I was deep frying a bird for the first time. Read all the recipies and everything seemed to be going well. At about 45mins I went to temp it. Pulled it up had the wife temp it. Still not done. Not even close. Ok, back in the oil it goes. 15 mins later, same thing. Not even close. 30 more minutes. still not done. WTF. Then I looked at the thermometer. She had it in Celcius. Damn bird was dry AF. At least the breast was ok. The rest was like turkey jerky.
3.5 minutes per pound at 375. Never fails.

For those that are asking for the IG handle: not a chance. Several of my family members are on her timeline and I don’t want to be “outed” on the OT. Too many autistic sleuths.
On to the actual Turkey dinner and festivities:
Cousin and stripper showed up about 30 minutes into the meal. They brought both her dogs and had no way to keep them under control.
She tried to tie them up outside because the mom of the home would not allow them inside. One got loose and started running and barking alongside one of the deer pens. My great uncle told her “you have 60 seconds to get control of that mutt before I fire a warning shot at him”. She got him back in the leash and spent the rest of the meal sitting in the car with her dogs.
I forgot to mention that she was insulted because there were no vegan options to eat. My great uncle told her “Honey, this is Alabama, we don’t eat vegan but our food eats vegan options.”
To make things worse, half of the family (those closest to his kids) refused to eat in the dining room with everyone else. So, they are on the back porch eating outside. (It’s actually a pretty day and the porch is huge).
My cousin and his kids did not speak a word to each other until the kids overheard him telling my younger brother to come take a look at his new truck.
At that point, his daughters went off on him because he filed a motion in court to stop child support since he lost his job due to COVID. They thought the truck was his stripper girlfriends. No big fireworks on this issue - just redneck parenting and holiday cursing back and forth. Eventually, my cousin and his girl left without saying goodbye.
The rest of the day has gone without much incident.
I am giving my Dad a ride home after this and he just told me “This might be the best thanksgiving ever”.

You delivered this year. You are also a pretty good story teller. Much better at summing up the events than I would be.
Thanks for the laughs. Happy Thanksgiving.

Well more bullshite than I figured Id see...nothing major but here goes:
In laws wanted me to fry a turkey, said they had burner pot etc. So I buy a turkey, inject thaw etc, bring utensils and everything....come to find they bought a brand new fancy push to start burner TONS of assembly required and they didnt so much as but the tape on the box. So I show at 11 wanting to drop the turkey at 12, and at 12 I'm looking for a screw driver and reading a fricking manual on how to put this together. At a certain point I say frick THIS go in the shed and dust off the old burner from God knows when...get it working and by 1 I'm finally frying... so I finish the bird get to the table for rest and my nephew. . frickING LICKS IT. Licks the damn turkey. Obviously he gets fussed at and acts like someone kicked his dog the rest of the day.
Meanwhile, my niece who I today learned is into the furry thing cornered me and showed me a never ending slideshow from a furry convention in Dallas. She's 15 btw and prob doesn't know how weird these people get....I hope...anyway everyone is outside and Im taking 5 to drink a TALL glass of bourbon and watch the game before the next weird thing happens...cheers baws
