Man accused of stabbing relatives over holiday table manners Friday, November 26, 2004 Posted: 12:36 PM EST (1736 GMT)

WORCESTER, Massachusetts (AP) -- A man was charged with stabbing two relatives after they allegedly criticized his table manners during Thanksgiving dinner.

Police said the fight broke out Thursday when Gonzalo Ocasio, 49, and his 18-year-old son, Gonzalo Jr., reprimanded Frank Palacious for picking at the turkey with his fingers, instead of slicing off pieces with a knife.

Palacious, 24, described by police only as an uncle, allegedly responded by stabbing them with a carving knife.

He is charged with domestic assault and assault with intent to murder, Detective Sgt. Thomas R. Radula said.

Police said Ocasio Jr. suffered stab wounds to the chest, back and right side. A nursing supervisor at the University of Massachusetts Medical Center said Friday she had no information on his condition.

His father was treated for a stab wound in his arm.

And in another story, I can't find the exact piece on the net, but on the news this morning, a lady called the Butterball Turkey Help Line after her Chihuahua crawled into the cavity of her bird and got STUCK!

The dog was safely retrieved, but there was no word on the turkey's taste after its unusual stuffing!

Nothing quite as dramatic at our house, thankfully; just the normal "got stuffed and passed out watching the football game" routine :shrug:

We did draw names for "secret Santa", but that didn't devolve into bloodshed. I doubt anyone will remember who they're supposed to get gifts for :p

I was just with my mother on Thanksgiving. We had ravioli and salad for dinner and watched "The Return" and "Saved." Other than that, I spent most of the day doing homework.
