Cont’d pumpkin pie, cranberry sauce and of course, stuffing! But, I think the number one reason I love it is the warmth I feel. I feel warmth when I see my extended family pour in, when the laughs are plentiful, when I see that gorgeous table laid out with food, when old stories are being told and when joy is all around. It’s when everything is calm in the world or at least seems calm and it’s when a sigh of relief can truly be released. Of course after the big day, there seems to be some big leftovers and with that uses must be made! My favourite thing to do is take some turkey, cranberry sauce and stuffing and put in on a sandwich. It’s absolutely divine! I think when it comes to leftovers in general, simple is better. Most magazines have these creamy, goopy, breaded turkey surprise casserole things on the list and honestly, there’s nothing I’d want less. Go for simple! Whip up some soup by adding some broth, rice, fresh vegetables and spices; now that’s great for fall! Get creative but don’t get complicated! If I wanted you to take one thing from this article it is this: everyday is a gift, every family member is a gift, everyday is a new op- portunity and it’s one where you have so many more choices than people in other countries (or even Vancouver!). Be creative and don’t be afraid to show your true colours, there’s no one else with your fingerprints so make your stamp on the world! And with that, I say: Happy Fall! Happy October! And, (a belated) Happy Thanksgiving! - Derrick Gravener BBQ with the fresh meat Sam White- “Ketchup, it’s the amaz- Do you think this event will help you make ingest!” friends?

Rose gives an explanation of Kutcher’s singing voice throwing off the nice melody we all how Charlie slipped and fell in front of a train resulting in “his enjoy. body exploding like a balloon full of meat.” While the jokes made on Charlie’s expense were funny, a number of them undermined the fact that the scene was still a funeral. The bitterness of the exes became tiresome after the first two comments were made about their experiences with Charlie Harper. The most apparent bitterness was that of the creators of the show, trying to get in as many hits on Charlie Sheen as they could in the span of ten minutes. The material was funny but totally unnecessary to the scheme of the show. So after the mudslinging and the debate of what to do with Char- lie’s estate as well as a few cameos, Alan is brought the golden urn containing the ashes of his dead brother. Alan sits and remi- nisces about his time in Charlie’s home with remarks about the past, including my personal favourite line from the episode, “Just like the old times huh? I’m talking and you’re in a bottle ignoring me.” Alan also tosses out ideas to the urn o’ Charlie about what to do with him. Dismissing his brother’s wishes on the grounds of “I don’t think Pamela Anderson will agree to swallow your ashes.” as well as not wanting to bring him to their mother’s house since “That’s how the beginning of horror movies start.” Alan concludes he will sprinkle Charlie’s ashes on the beach being a dignified version of his brother’s life, “Pretty girls covered in oil sitting on you all day.” Alan then turns to leave and is surprised to see a soaking wet Ashton Kutcher standing outside, causing Alan to let out a rather feminine scream and spill the ashes everywhere.
