I name all my silly fantasy sports teams after their menu items (Scattered, Covered and Smothered). I drove by that Best Buy returning from my brother's Thanksgiving Day meal late Thursday evening. It was about about nine-thirty or so. There were already hundreds of people camped out in the parking lot. We joked as we drove by: "How'd you spend your Thanksgiving?" "Oh, we slept on concrete inside a cold tent all day." No game console, nor even free LCD TVs, could prompt me to bag my Thanksgiving. Apparently others disagree. Waffle House is the best.
