We get together at my parents' place and everybody brings some part of the meal (I bring the cake; go figure) and it's always a great time.<br /><br />Here's a fun series of clips from The West Wing where know-it-all President Bartlett gets his comeuppance from the Butterball Hot Line:<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4TcGEcKjSu4Vincent H.
