HOT HOT TOPICS
– on the eve of the first snowstorm of the season, the person who was hired to plow the driveway has informed us that he won’t be doing anyone’s driveways this year. now we have to scramble to find someone new. the timing is rather terrible.
– strange things people will do for 20 bucks
– is it ok to continue to break yourself at work if the pay is less than $20 an hour and you get no health benefits?
– there has been debate over the years about removing andrew jackson from the american twenty dollar bill. his stances on slavery and treatment of native american people is reprehensible. there were talks that harriet tubman would replace jackson on the twenty, but it now looks as if that won’t happen. thoughts?
– our sneaky santa wants us to spend 20 on a gift for someone. whats a gift you actually want thats under 20? hugs, attention and other sex acts not included
address and amazon link for bonus points
– what’s a holiday tradition we could do away with? (mine in meme below) whats one you or your family enjoy that is uncommon? bonus for rare, epic, or unique versions. points off for commons and landa
– is there any better feeling than going through your wallet and realizing there’s a $20 you totally forgot about? yes, I am including “the birth of a child” and “getting the last slice of chocolate cake just before the jerk you hate can”.
– weirdest place one could find $20
– I just got a call from the principal saying that my son (mr. huge goddammit) was caught drawing on the school bathroom walls. can I make the problem go away by bribing the principal with $20?
– why do the mexican cartel and chinese mafia who work together to deal fentanyl only use $20 bills when laundering money into us cash???

HOT HOT TOPICS
– most stuffing is mid.
– at thanksgiving, you are supposed to reflect upon the things you are thankful for, so I wanted to say that I’m thankful for caleb and rafe and for all of the members of this discord server. last year, my wife and I split up around this time and then I lost my father. I have come to terms with some personal issues, overcome a huge weight problem, and am now employed full-time. the love and support here has been immensely strong and has helped me achieve those things, so I am eternally grateful. thank you. I love you all!
– I’m thankful for you all as well. on a less serious note, why can’t the family make just enough thanksgiving dinner instead of so much that at least one-third inevitably gets thrown away?
