Today is the day for the 2025 Thanksgiving Day Tabloid News and you better believe this paper’s got issues. Eat turkey, watch football, take a nap from all that turkey.
This post’s title was inspired by (what else?) lines from the first Men in Black movie:
Agent K: [at newsstand] We’ll check the hot sheets.
Agent J: *These* are the hot sheets?
Agent K: Best investigative reporting on the planet. Read the New York Times if you want, they get lucky sometimes.
Agent J: I cannot believe you’re looking for tips in the supermarket tabloids.
Agent K: [front-age article about farmer’s stolen skin] Not looking for. Found.
Anyway, today is a special day because we’re waiting for some new items: a premium Cribbage Wars board from Ebonwood with resin inlays. We’re also waiting for extra pegs. These acrylic and brass pegs just shipped from the United Kingdom, which doesn’t charge tariffs. Michaud Toys makes a game board they call Cribbage Rumble (actually the same game as Cribbage Wars), but they’re currently not shipping to the U.S. because of the tariff situation.
We’re still playing Cribbage Wars on our economical little board with tiny peg holes. We’re finding out we like it so much we’d prefer a larger board so we can at least see what we’re pegging without a magnifying glass.
Sena still wins most of the games. I’m working on my strategy.
Happy Thanksgiving!
