1. I am thankful that my devotion to comics, Star Wars, Star Trek, and all things nerdy, have reached some level of acceptance with the general populace. There was a time when interest in superheroes and sci-fi made me an outcast but now I can talk about it openly and almost feel normal most days. Almost...HahA!
2. Cranberry sauce with actual berries. My wife always makes it with actual cranberries. She'd divorce me if I ever came home with a can of cranberries HahA!
3. Stuffing, because we stuff the turkey with the...er, stuffing.

1.Yes, I think TBBT did more than any other show to bring "all things nerdy" into the limelight in a positive way. Some people don't agree with me, but as someone looking from 1/2 nerdy viewpoint and 1/2 mainstream viewpoint (I've always straddled both sides growing up), I see that it made a huge impact.

1. I have actually never been big into cranberries (I find them a bit bitter), but think I'd prefer the jelly-consistency kind out of a can. (I know, blasphemy. ) I think I'll be wild and try some this year.
   
2. I wonder if what people call dressing/stuffing varies by region? Where I live the two terms are used interchangeably, even when it is served as a side dish and not inside the bird.

Also, I've thought this before but never actually typed it out, but for someone name Dark_Sithlord, you are a very nice fella.

1. Why are you thankful that you watched the Big Bang Theory?

If not for watching TBBT I would have finally mastered Greek and Latin.

1. Cranberry sauce in one big cylindrical jelly-like blob from a can or Cranberry sauce with actual berries in it and texture?

Both. I like the way the can leaves the indentation from can on the cranberry mold. Some people put walnuts in the cranberry which is wrong.

1. Do you call the bread-based side dish dressing or stuffing?

1.I don't have a smart come-back for this one.

1. Anyone who puts nuts into something squishy ruins the pleasure therein. (Old Chinese proverb.)
   
2. I see you go with its proper name.
   

New question: Correct Thanksgiving dessert: Pumpkin Pie or Pecan Pie (Before answering, consider my ancient Chinese proverb.)

It is very easy to make a great cranberry sauce. Fresh cranberries (one package), sugar to taste (about a half cup), chopped orange & lemon (if desired, plus some zest from both), & some finely grated ginger to taste. Bring to a boil with about a half cup of water, simmer until berries burst open. Cool then refrigerate.

It is, although I generally use way less sugar & water than most. Just adjust as you see fit.

Or tracing over your ear to make the perfect thanksgiving platter picture!

Now go up there and look at that question I asked you about dessert!

Also, nice use of emoticons.

I'm not a big Thanksgiving person anyways. Pumpkin is for horses not pies But if you insist serve anyways 🥧 Same with nut pies. Just freshly made whipped cream not the aerosol can kind.

I'll accept your answer though the correct answer would only be pumpkin pie. If I wanted to eat a bunch of nuts I would have been born a squirrel.

Pumpkin pie is okay but only if Bratface makes it along with her cranberry stuffing sauce

I meant to ask you if you were impressed with the title of this thread. It's a palindrome!

I wondered about that thread title but I thought maybe you had one too many Long Island Iced Teas from the Cheesecake Factory.
