How to avoid speaking with relatives on Thanksgiving...

Each time an aunt or uncle asks how your "better half" is, burst into tears and say, "I...I'm sorry...I just don't know how many more times I can "fall" down those stairs..."

Offer to show them pictures of your trip to the Fall Sci-Fi Comic Con, while simultaneously belting out your impression of Chewbacca.

Answer every question with, "When I was eight, I tried to show you my "Lego land city of the future"... I spent three days building that city... And what did you do? You drank a bottle of black velvet and used your foot to crush my city...And my dreams..."

Stand up in the middle of dinner, hold up your right hand and announce, "Everyone... I have an announcement to make... Minutes before we got here, ol' righty, here, got down on one finger and asked me to marry him, and I said yes. We hope you all can make a June wedding at the K of C Hall.

Wear a half shirt, spandex tights and a bow in your hair and announce to everyone, "I'm currently in between experimental relationships."

Steal everyone's left shoe, use them to build a bonfire outside and declare the party "Cleansed of evil inferiorities"

Periodically take a drink from someone else's beer, pretend to hack up a lung and move on.

Sit in the corner with a bottle of Jack and read "Goodnight Moon" to anyone who'll listen.

Be yourself.
