TERMINATE THE TURKEY AT TAO At your dysfunctional family dinner, did Nana down a whole box of wine or did the in-laws chuck sweet potatoes like grenades?

Couldn’t make it to Walmart? You can help just by showing up. Tao will donate $2 per guest on Turkey Day. Just tell your relatives you have some charity work to do.

DOUBLE DOWN SALOON ANNIVERSARY Throw back another shot o’ ass juice; the happiest place on earth is turning 18.
