MAIN THREAD: It's Officially December and General Discussion

 Well, the official holiday season is upon us, as it's now December 1st (as I started writing this; it's now the 2nd. But fuck ya all, it still works). 

It's also a time where, generally, people consider it as "wintertime", even though the first day of winter isn't until December 21st.

It's time to start thinking forward to thoughts of snow, skiing, sweaters, sitting in front of the fireplace, and mindlessly fighting people in the stores for the newest fad product on the market just in time for Christmas.

So how about we start the month out by talking about your favorite things about winter (ugh), December (Christmas, obviously), and anything else about the end of 2025 and what you're looking forward to (or afraid of happening) in 2026? 

Oh, and talk about anything else you want, of course.

OLD THREAD: Happy Thanksgiving! And General Discussion

Image
 Well, here we are at another Thanksgiving season at the Garden! I'm sure you know the drill by now. I ramble on about turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, etc etc and also giving thanks for what you have in your life and then tell you to chat about Thanksgiving and anything else you want. Maybe I throw in a bit about Thanksgiving not being such a positive for Native American peoples in the grand scheme of things, but it's evolved past cliche, contradicted images of happy pilgrims and natives sitting around tables full of food into a general sense of giving thanks for family, friends, and life in general.  Hell, I could throw in a few rasslin' related lines about the Gobbledygooker's debut at Survivor Series 1990 just for a few nostalgic laughs. But I guess I'll just go with wishing everybody and theirs a very happy Thanksgiving and hope it's a good one.  Chat about errything Thanksgiving and anything else ya want!   Don't forget to pig out an...

OLD THREAD: SPAM-A-MANIA 2: SPAM HARDER and General Discussion

Image
Well, I got stuck at work because the new custodian wound up being a fucking dipshit so I don't have a lot of time or energy to dive into a topic.   So............   Because of that we're just gonna have a free for all again.   SPAM-A-MANIA 2! We all know how this goes.  And, honestly, it's basically the same as any other day of random conversations, just without a specific topic to add to the discussion.  So without further a-dieu (to paraphrase Kenny Omega), get on it, get wild, get crazy, and talk about shit as only the Garden can. Because we're so fucking awesome.

OLD THREAD: Happy Halloween! And General Discussion

Image
 Well, it's that time of year again, time for the spooky season! I'm not gonna go into the history of Halloween, because I believe I already did that last time. No, I didn't go check because I ain't got time to take 30 seconds to scroll down to the last Halloween thread.  😆 Anywho, Halloween has become pretty commercially routine anymore. Not that you need a lot of variations on the basic theme of costumes and candy, but it seems like every year it's the same old Michael Myers and Nightmare Before Christmas shirts and plushes, basic throw blankets, and cheapo novelty makeup and jewelry.  Even the "variety" of masks have become mostly the same thing year after year.  At least in the big box stores, which is where a lot of people have to shop in our current economy. I blame the tariffs.  😏 At least we still have women in skimpy, slutty costumes acting like psychos and using the season as a reason for it.  That's a decent consolation, right? 🤔 But enou...
