Mike carried Eggo waffles for a girl named Eleven. They were not love waffles, but Mike Sheets was hoping, so he carried the box of Eggos down the stairs to the basement. During science class at Hawkins Middle School or trick-or-treating with his friends, he’d imagine dancing with Eleven at the annual Snow Ball. He’d imagine following her to the Hawkins Laboratory, where she would crush the skulls of bad men with her thoughts. In the evening, when his mother told him that it was time for bed, Mike left Eggos in the pillow fort and went to his bedroom, wondering whether Eleven was thought-crushing the skulls of bad men without him.

The following is a guest post from DrupalCon Vienna Marketing Committee.

When the Drupal community gathers, something extraordinary happens.

Due to the overwhelming number of anticipated brawls this Thanksgiving, we decided to streamline your day with an Official Family Thanksgiving Fight Schedule. This is a double-elimination tournament that will abide by UFC rules.1

MOM vs. GRANDMA
1:00 p.m. / Living Room
This first fight will center around generational trauma and fruit salad. It will set the tone for the rest of the event.

TURKEY vs. CHEF
All Day / Kitchen
Though the turkey suffered a deadly beating last week in TURKEY vs. BUTCHER, it still has some fight left in it. This deceased bird will do everything in its power to ruin the chef’s credibility and sanity.

The disregard of radical uncertainty by a generation of economists condemned modern macroeconomics to near irrelevance … Keynes’ critique of ‘getting on the job’ without asking ‘whether the job is worth getting on with’ would prove to be as true of the new macroeconomic theorising as of the older econometric modeling … Over forty years, […]

REPORTER: I’m here live with Uncle Bill just moments after Thanksgiving dinner. Bill, can you walk us through what happened tonight?

Before we took our places, I was informed I’d be sitting at the kids’ table, which, frankly, I think is a slap in the face given my history with this organization. Everyone likes to preach that we’re a family around here, and you just don’t expect to be treated this way by family. I respect the host’s judgment, but I disagree with the decision.

REPORTER: Were you given a reason as to why you were demoted?

America does not meet either criterion at this time. Yes, there are elections, but the duopoly means that voters tend to choose from a small […]
