A Thanksgiving Request Vlog

Brace yourself for a rather technical (read: potentially boring) vlog update directed to the Mythical Beast Kommunity members. But since it’s delivered in such a thankful tone, it can serve to replace leaf-raking to get anyone in the festive mood:

    I am SUPER thankful for this community of mythical beasts… and this blog. Because it is awesome and there is hilarity abounding. Anyone who doesn’t stick around long enough to see that is not mythically beast…y enough. :)

    Happy thanksgiving guys!

    I try to stop by your blog and comment once in awhile… It doesn’t happen nearly as much as I’d like it to. I see the kommunity has gone through some minor rearrangement on the homepage? Looks cool!

    To go along with the topic, every Thanksgiving I usually end up making deviled eggs for my entire family. Apparently I make pretty mean deviled eggs that get devoured almost right after I bring them inside.

    I’m all about leftover turkey sandwiches after Thanksgiving. That’s my own personal tradition that continues daily until the turkey runs out. They make my stomach extra thankful :)

    Mmmm…..Turkey…

    Guilty as charged! I tend to go straight to the Kommunity and spend hours at a time chatting with other Beasts, and exploring pages, et cetera! I hereby vow to spend more time in the Blog/Vlog/Posts/Updates. I promise!

    As for Thanksgiving, well I am just psyched for it! My whole family gets together and does a big dinner at my brother and sister-in-law’s place. She’s pregnant this year though and has a lot of food adversions that maker her a little vomm-y so all the girls are pitching in with the cooking. I’m in charge of desserts! Anyone have any good Thanksgiving dessert recipes I could try out??

    Caity Brown (Nessie)

    Ok, I always read the blog posts, but rarely comment. I admit. Now I’m going to start commenting much more!

    I am super excited about Thanksgiving! I love to spend time with my family. Trust me, when you have a crazy (and I do mean crazy in a good way!) family like mine, holidays are always fun. Haha :)
    And, I am very thankful for the kommunity and all the wonderful Mythical Beasts! Really, I don’t know what I’d do if I didn’t have the kommunity to go to every day…I’d probably be very sad. So, thank you, Rhett&Link! Because is it wasn’t for you, there would be NO kommunity!

    We have Thanksgiving dinner at my house every year, all 20 of us…my three sisters and I (as well as a couple of my nieces) always bring our specialty dish (mine is usually a dessert) while Mama cooks the dressing, mac & cheese, butter beans, and ham. One of my brothers-in-law fries the turkey.

    I always go home the night before and chop all the vegetables for my mom and help her prep for all the cooking she’ll do the next day. We usually eat dinner around 2 or 3, then most everyone finds a couch/chair/bed to watch football from/nap in. Then we all have a plate of leftovers for supper.

    I in fact stopped posting comments on the blog when the kommunity website became the IT place to go and comment. The change made things just a little too high maintenance for me. I’ll be happy to start posting comments on the blog again. Happy Thanksgiving!

    Oh jeez, the Kommunity. I haven’t been there since, like, summer. I feel all guilty now, neglecting the Beasts. I should get on there soon, see what’s going on.

    Michael Joseph

    My family doesn’t really have any other traditions for Thanksgiving other than eating food and watching football. We are going to my step-mom’s parents house this year. I’m just excited to be going home and seeing my family. :)

    The other day, I was driving in my car and needed to blow my nose. Conveniently, I keep a stash of extra napkins from drive through adventures in a inconspicuous compartment in the door. Now it’s important to understand that I value safe driving, and I strive to keep both hands on the wheel as much as I can, in order to avoid catastrophe. That being said, there are times where I would be a more attentive driver if I take a moment to correct a nuisance or distraction, and this was one of those times. Unfortunately it would not turn out to be your typical nose-blowing-while-driveing dinner conversation stories, comical disaster ensues.

    I glance down to the here to fore mentioned inconspicuous compartment and take my left hand down to acquire a napkin, a Wendy’s napkin in this instance, and here comes the tricky part. In a masterful display of skill and premeditated movements, I assigned my left knee to take over the steering portion of the operation of the vehicle, while I used both hands to cradle the Wendy’s napkin securely around my nostrils, for I knew right away that this was to be a two handed nasal expulsion event, and with a quick, deep inhale, I forced much air out through my nose in one high-pressured burst. I had planned for this to be the end, and was ready to fold the now moist napkin in half and place it gently into the complimentary Jiffy Lube rubbish receptacle bag concealed between the driver and passenger seats, but to my horror, something went terribly amiss.

    If you have a week stomach or are easily grossed out, this is where you should stop reading.

    If you’re still reading, this is where the story really begins.

    As I exhorted a lungful of breath through the smaller portals of my face, there was a clog; an obstruction not easily negotiated with. The pressure was already released however, and the natural path of escape was compromised, so the stringy mucus was forced to exit by an alternative route. And thus, a glob of snot shot out through my left eye and splattered loudly against the inside of my sunglasses.

    A myriad of neurons misfired in my reactive system at that moment. I was prepared for nothing that was happening. Suddenly I found myself unable to see with one eye, crippling my depth perception and causing my brain to scramble for understanding. I’m still driving, steering with my knee, holding a Wendy’s napkin to my face, snot dripping onto my cheek from my sunglasses, and my left eye was irritated and tearing excessively. I needed to regain control before causing an vehicular unfortunance.

    Calming my self, I realized that I was still holding the Wendy’s napkin over my nose, and in one swift movement I relocated my right hand back to the steering wheel and utilized the napkin to clean up my left eye. In my haste I forgot to remove my sunglasses and ended up pushing them up over my brow, causing the glob of snot to smear from my eyebrow, up my forehead and into my hair. In a spasm of frustration I must have unintentionally applied more pressure to the execrator at the same time my right arm, that was then controlling the steering wheel, tightened pulling the direction of the car slightly to the right.

    Feeling the car climbing onto the curb, I knew I was heading for trouble. My instincts took over and I returned both hands to the steering wheel, regained control of the car, took a deep breath, and slowly removed my sunglasses, wiped my eye and eyebrow, sat up straighter in my seat, cleared my throat and made it the rest of the way home without incident.

    It wasn’t until I got home and tried to embrace my wife that it came to my attention that I still had a glob of snot clinging to the front of my hair.

    Foote

    @Foote Oh my god, I seriously just cried laughing at your entire post! That is awesome.

    Caity Brown (Nessie)

    Stay tuned guys…more vlogging/blogging/pics/vids…coming soon… :)

    Joel (dragon)\ psmanzer

    Ok… I’m recovered now…

    That is officially the best comment I have ever read, Foote. I was covered in sweat and tears by the end… Nicely played!

    And the rest of you… Hang on for the ride… There may be stuff coming and going, working and exploding, scores and fails… I’ll try to concentrate on the the first part of each of those.. no promises though!

    I am VERY thankful for a year of Internetainment! Well, almost a year for me. Can’t believe I only found Rhett and Link this April! My life hasn’t been the same since! And thank you to all my friends in the Kommunity! You guys are the Mythical Best!

    MissEC (Landshark)

    I am so proud of the e-hermit! We’re of an ilk, you know. Clansmen, you might say. Except, he’s much more left-brain and I’m righter (women are always righter, you know). And, I’m so proud of all the beasts who are doing their part to show the world what a vibrant kommunity we are!

    Happy Thanksgiving each and every one of you! Don’t forget to give thanks for the windows that let you see outside. That’s important.

    Lynn (The E-Ministrator)\ jardinprayer

    I am very, very thankful for this Kommunity and for you, Rhett & Link! Since discovering you guys and your many YouTube Videos, and this Kommunity, my life has been filled with a whoole lot more laughter and enjoyment! :)

    My Thanksgiving tradition is simple: family and food. I know this is nothing “unique”, but to me, there is nothing better than gathering in together, smelling all the good food, and just enjoying each others company! I am so thankful for what a great, big family I have!

    Oh, and another thing about Thanksgiving I love? Waking up at 3:00 a.m. or earlier the next morning to shop!! :D

    Thank you, Rhett and Link, and alll other mythical beasts for making this Kommunity what it is!

    @Foote… I can’t breathe I’m laughing so hard… that has to be the best snot story in the history of mankind.

    I’m here to convey a vibrant community to the world! Thank you for Rhett and Link’s parents who made a big contribution by giving birth to Internetainment! We love you!

    PastorReneD

    And a great many thanks to you, Rhett and Link. I shall endeavor to kontinue to kontribute to the kommunity through my kartooning and will also kome komment on your blogs. (and eventually I will get the “see” key fixed on my komputer keyboard… but that’s more of a New Year’s resolution kind of thing than a Thanksgiving kind of thing… all the more reason to thank the kommunity where these things are okay!)

    Honestly, you guys are awesomely. ^^

    My family doesn’t really have any Thanksgiving traditions…unless you count eating. But i’m very thankful for my tradition-less family. I’m also thankful for the kommunity, because, lets face it. The kommunity has the most awesome people i have ever seen.

    Emily (The Encantado)

    In Canada we finished the season of thankfulness more than a month ago. Now we’re already into the season of greediness (also Jesus’ birthday).

    A Kid Named Stephen

    I am thankful for breathing.
    I am thankful for seeing.
    I am thankful for hearing.
    I am thankful for being.

    I most thankful for Jesus and His awesome grace for this wretched sinner.
    Without Him I most likely wouldn’t be thankful for anything.

    eanette WifeMom (horphin?)

    Ok guys, I’m testing how the reply works using my Kommunity ID!
    As far as Thanksgiving goes, we don’t have any huge traditions, besides turkey and other superb foods. Usually we go to a relatives house, but a couple times we’ve gone to a restaurant. This year we’re all going to my aunt’s house.

    By the way…I’ve been having trouble not laughing whenever I see or hear people blow their nose. I keep thinking they are “Dropping the Turkey” and I can’t help but smile. LOL!
    Happy Thanksgiving!

    Happy Thanksgiving! So much to be thankful for.

    I’m thankful for this amazing Kommunity.
    I think you guys should release more vlogs.
    They’re pretty hilarious.
    Oh, and Happy Turkey-Eating Day!

    Makes one wonder how many policemen have encountered a wreck with persons involved having boogies all over their face…mmmmm

    Karl with a K\ rusty101

    Well, first, I didn’t think you were that boring(contrary to popular belief) :)
    I found this Vlog quite informative :)

    What WE do on Thanksgiving: Our Thanksgiving typically ends up rather boring…We sit around the table, Pray, say things that we’re thankful for, read a Bible verse(that can never remember) AaannnnDdddD: …eat turkey(which is the popular belief :P )
    And my parents, and grandparents will talk about politics and how the worlds is coming to an end soon…Grandpa falls asleep in his chair, Grandma lectures our mother on how much better raised the kids could have been…Our brothers watch football And then we play PiT! Which is the loudest card game ever created :)

    sometimes we play music…But that is on RARE occasion, like if someones dying…but they don’t usually come back the next year :O

    This year, for the first time in all 20 years of my parents marriage: Our grandparents on our Dad’s side are coming to our house for Thanksgiving.
    Every year for the past 20 years, my parents, and whatever sibling was alive at the time would travel to some odd place where our Grabdparents lived…We are breaking Tradition tomorrow!

    Saddening…And Happening!

    I am going to go out on a limb(sounds dangerous)
    and say: That the first Thanksgiving was probably WAY more exciting than the now :P
    But…that’s just because…You know, it was awesome!

    Happy Thanksgiving to my mythical beastly neighbours further South!
    I live in Canada so thanksgiving was over awhile ago, but I am still thankful for so many (random) things. I am…
    Thankful for global warming (in the short term) for making this a really snow-less, frost-less, and non-toe numbling November that it has been.
    Thankful that there is little hype about black friday in Canada and therefore a lower number of new reports involving shoppers trampled by other shoppers
    Thankful for the internetainment provided on this site, in much needed times of studying-induced, sleep-deprived hysteria and
    Thankful for all the people who are on top of the kommunity and blog posts.

    I am sorry that I haven’t commented on the blog for quite some time now since I (like Caity Brown) end up gravitating towards the kommunity site quickly after seeing the blog/ vlog that gets sent to my email.

    Happy Holidays and have a safe (trample free) Black Friday!
