Are you having an
idyllic Thanksgiving? Food perfect? Healthy, too? Moderate?
Everybody you’d
ideally want to see alive, and present,
and getting
along?
Yes? Then you might
want to read no further. Your seasonal gratitude is clearly appropriate.
However, for some
of us humans, this is the time of year when we may be particularly inclined to draw
our attention to THE COMPLAINT DEPARTMENT, where the inappropriate, the
maudlin, the whiney, the greedy, the brutally honest, and the heart wrenching
are all welcome to be COMPLAINED, once a year, in our famous COMPLAINT DEPARTMENT
post, coming up in January.
Accordingly, I, Partial
(incomplete) Monochrome Persona (PiMP), am once again soliciting COMPLAINTS on
behalf of Full Spectrum Mama for THE COMPLAINT DEPARTMENT.
Have you any
COMPLAINTS? We at THE COMPLAINT DEPARTMENT welcome ALL acceptable COMPLAINTS -- from first-world to “special” stuff about “special needs” to devastating -- with the
understanding that the COMPLAINING, and thereby sharing, of COMPLAINTS may lead to a certain degree of liberation
and/or solidarity.
Full Spectrum Mama herself has generously offered the following acceptable COMPLAINT, which gently skirts the border between first-world and genuine: "Because I've spent any free moments during the last few months working on my book proposal, I haven't been posting as much as I'd like and I feel lame."
Please send your
COMPLAINTS to:
jineffable@gmail.com.
jineffable@gmail.com.
Sincerely,
Partial/incomplete
Monochrome Persona
Factotum, THE
COMPLAINT DEPARTMENT

My complaint is, I don't really like many Thanksgiving foods. I don't eat meat, so no turkey. I don't like sweet potatoes, I don't like green bean casserole, I don't like cranberries, and I don't like pumpkin pie. On my plate tomorrow, you will probably find mashed potatoes, and a roll!
ReplyDeleteThat's a good one!
DeleteWe are vegetarian too and I was Completely Traumatized growing up...Now we have a more accepting bunch of celebrants - and I just make the stuff we like and eat!
Love,
