Greetings and Salutations, everyone!

Those of you who were here last year will likely remember that at about this time I brought a certain tradition from the land I grew up in to Reverein with the help of Dreambucks. Well, this year I've partnered up with The Wild Harvest for a repeat performance tomorrow between noon and six PM!

For those unfamiliar with the tradition, the third Thursday of every November back where and when I grew up was reserved for the holiday known as Thanksgiving. It's intended to be a celebration to count one's blessings despite the hardships and setbacks of the previous year. More relevant to me, it's also a chance to show off one's prowess in the kitchen.

You'll find the menu is much the same as last year's, served buffet style. However, there will be space for others who have dishes they might want to share with their neighbors!

Do enjoy!

Sincerely,
Alastor

dude you had me at herb

[lonelysmiles]

Caught your attention, did I?

[sos_pilot]

free food always catches my attention!!!

[lonelysmiles]

I'll keep that in mind for the next time I'm feeling hungry for duck!

[He's joking...really.]

[sos_pilot]

you know

implying you want to eat your friends is not exactly in the spirit of the season

[lonelysmiles]

Purely a jest, my dear, I assure you.

[You can trust this face.]

[sos_pilot]

personally i prefer good old bad dad jokes

nobody gets offended or terrified, and if it's really good, you get a whole room groaning!

[lonelysmiles]

I'll take that under advisement.

And I do know some good ones. Perhaps we'll have to share them.

[sos_pilot]

well, I am a mom, so my power of bad-jokes and puns must not be underestimated

you must prepare yourself, little man

[lonelysmiles]

My deer, I have been telling these pun-derful quips for over a century. You'll need to duck and cover.

[He's fully-armed.]

[sos_pilot]

[ a dark shadow begins to loom over reverin ]

I must say, I'm growing fawn'd of where this is going, and I can go until the quack of dawn!

[lonelysmiles]

I'd certainly hate for the game to get stagnant. So many nowadays buck the trend of clever wordplay and act as though they're being punished!

[sos_pilot]

I have no i-deer why people are so buck wild about it. Might as well call them Rude-dolph!

[lonelysmiles]

Given that demon-stration, I can see where some might be put off by such tortured puns.

[sos_pilot]

I was gunna do a pun about Satan but I think that's actually someone's name here???

[lonelysmiles]

It is, but why should that stop you? I'm sure it would quack us both up!

[sos_pilot]

It just feels a little mean to pick on the guy without knowing him. Even if it's just

a demon-stration!

[lonelysmiles]

Perhaps, but it's a sacrifice to feather the cause.

[sos_pilot]

As long as he doesn't demand an egg-splanation!

[lonelysmiles]

Satan-ly not!

[Look, if you're going to wuss out, he'll do it himself.]

[sos_pilot]

Speaking of the dude, you know what would happen if he lost his hair?

There would be hell-toupee!

[ and this is somehow better than wussing out? ]

[lonelysmiles]

What would he call a cat? Lucy Fur!

[sos_pilot]

His favorite spice is probably Sinnamon!
