A Very Christopher Walken Thanksgiving

CEIG: What do you think of when you think of Thanksgiving?

CW: To be honest?  If we're being honest here, I think of a full moon night, the kind of night where the moon is so bright you almost have to squint when you look at it, and the grass almost has a blueish hue...very surreal.  After that, I think of a room I used to have called the phone room - a single room in my house with nothing but a phone and a tiny stool - it's where I used to do business.  However, my phone broke, and as you may know from experience, a broken phone is about as useful as... an untrained mule in a parking lot.  If you want to know how I broke it, I'll tell you it was my fault.  What happened was, I was in the middle of a business call with my manager, and... he began to eat an avocado.  I don't know if you have ever listened to someone eating an avocado over the phone, but it sounds... very childish, and disturbing.  In a fit of contempt, I threw my phone at the wall.  Now... these days I find it much more difficult to get business done around here, considering... I have no phone in my phone room.  But... you don't want to hear me complain.  Shit, who does?  It won't make either of our lives better, yet it's all part of the big dance, ya know?

Happy Thanksgiving!
