This is the first year that I don't have to travel on Thanksgiving-I'm just going around the block to a friend's house, YAY!

Don't hit any aggie on your way over, Jane.

Coming up after the break: How just going around the corner for Thanksgiving this year may NOT be the escape from travel nightmares you might think.

"aggie"

Excuse my ignorance Missy P but is that a new word for some booze?

I have laughed more on this board in the past few days than I have in all my years here.

Janey, "aggie" is the new word for something else that we can't mention because it gets threads deleted. I'll give you some hints. It rhymes with the stuff that jondouglas drinks and you often see its head hanging on walls at those restaurants designed to make you feel like you're in a lodge in Idaho even though you're really in Edison, New Jersey.

OOOHHHH, now I know. See how far behind I am? I thought carol was the new word for that. I'll only hit an aggie if it hits me first.

A special report coming up First at Six, how our four-hooved "friends" can make Thanksgiving Travel Nightmares even WORSE! All that and could there be an icy mix on the way? Find out after this.

Ten die at eleven!

And icy mix and Agnes = travel nightmare!

Death on the roadway could make an already tedious travel day even worse. Find out how, right after Sports.

I hope I'll be able to make it home to see those near and aggie to me!

Stupid sports!

[Jane2]

Posted: 11/21/07 at 12:16am

Sports suck.

[FindingNamo]

Posted: 11/21/07 at 12:23am

But after sports there's usually something heartwarming.

Like a 30-second clip of the Nutcracker on Ice.

Or group showering in the locker room.

Or Santa shopping at Target.

Awwww, wasn't that Gumdrop adorable? That's it for the News at 11, tomorrow morning First at Five, we'll update you on airport conditions on the 30 seconds. You can't afford to miss it.

Can't they just have a separate hour so they can bring you the "olds".

Turkey stuffing ingredients you never thought you'd use! Coming up after the break...

This is one of the many reasons why I hate "the news" more and more each day.

They'll scare you into watching their next report.

"Find out what kind of puppy food may save your dog's life... at eleven."

In other words, if you don't watch our news show, your puppy may die.

Lovely way to get those ratings, isn't it?

Don's live from the airport where he says he's never seen such long lines in his life, right after this.

Is he talking about the potential gusts of wind... up to as much as 5 MPH?

[FindingNamo]

Posted: 11/21/07 at 10:22am

That's right, wind gusts of up to 5 mph in Chicago may upset flight schedules all around the country. But first, meet a squirrel who has an interesting hobby: waterskiiing!
