I have read this story many times, and it still cracks me up. If I ever met J2, I would recommend this story. Possibly one of the best SPN gen fics I have ever read.

what a tale, so funny, great description

Thank you for this absolutely delightful story. It did make me chuckle and even laugh out loud the odd time. I loved the brothers' banter, which was very in character.

As always, your writing is a joy to read.

Glad everyone had a hilarious time reading about a poor turkey being absolutely traumatised and having its leg blown off by a shotgun!Being left in agony to bleed to death, that's fucking funny you assholes?Animal cruelty revolts me!

Oh my goodness - this has got to be one of the funniest things I have ever read. I was laughing out loud and actually had tears running down my face at a few points. My hubby thinks I've lost my mind. Kudos for a fabulous story!

I was actually laughing so hard, I peed my pants! (TMI?) I think you captured the boys beautifully, both as teenagers but also you got those so important bro moments in there also! Absolutely a great short story! Thank you!

Holy mashed potatoes, Batman, this was freaking (and I don't really mean freaking) hysterical. I can't remember the last time I laughed so hard. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

I read this some while back, but did not review - and I apologize!

I spent most of this story in tears because I was laughing so hard.

My God, but I can absolutely SEE all of this, let alone hear the dialog.

Thank you SO MUCH for writing this! What a superlatively hysterical story.

I realize how old this story is, I really do, but I want to say how hilarious that whole story was! This was actually my second time reading it, and I was still cracking up, which was a little weird, since my sister had no idea what I was doing... Anyway, I loved the story, and the whole dynamic between the brothers was absolutely perfect. As far was I'm concerned, this is why they Winchesters don't really celebrate Thanksgiving on the show... Thank you! :)

Just found this on a rec from a friend, and I will be chuckling over a great many lines for quite a while.

"At a later date Sam would point out that the shade of green he was wearing by the time they arrived at the emergency room had been very complimentary."

That's brilliant.

In truth, I've typically not been a fan of stories that bring "what will be" into play with the present narrative, but this all worked in a really enjoyable way, like a story that's been told over and over and been amended and added to and redefined with each telling. Quite nice. :)

I LOVE IT!

Hi!
You just don't have an idea of how much I laugh.
Royally pissed, royal blue John? and "that's just not dad's color"? I laughed so so much. Seriously.
And Sam's note killed me. This is awesome.
Hey, if sometime you feel like you'll like to have this story translated to spanish, I'd love to do it.

This was seriously one of the best pieces I have read in awhile. At first I was questioning the narrator being all over time wise but you made it work. You had me doubled over laughing for most of the piece!

Best Thanksgiving story ever! Absolutely priceless. I shall save it to be savored as an hors d'oeuvres every Thanksgiving and as needed the rest of the year.

Favorite lines:
"Dean took being Sam's surrogate mother/father very seriously and there was never any trouble on his watch."
"Hal acid out. Gumshoe hobo bong. Lunar got father Tobey."
"Holy mashed potatoes Batman!"
"Only he didn't say freakin'."

It was a really awesome story!
