Happy Thanksgiving, Potato Nation!
(Giblets, motherfucker!)
As we sit down to enjoy this great feast — a representation of the bounties the past year has provided — we thought it would be fun if we all went around the table and listed the things we're thankful for. First and foremost, we're thankful for all of you, who swing by CagePotato.com every day (or at least every week, right?) to read our posts and make your adorable little opinions known. We're thankful for the fighters who risk life and limb to entertain us in the name of the greatest sport in the world. We're thankful for our families for their love and support, and our friends for making life interesting. We're thankful for our good health, and our general lack of horrible infections. We're thankful that we don't live inside War Machine's head. We're thankful for all the men and women of the U.S. armed forces who might be spending the holiday very far from home. And of course, we're thankful to have jobs that don't require us to put on pants or even get out of bed most days. (War laptops!)
Okay, your turn...

I am grateful for a wonderful wife, a great life, and plenty of money in a hard economic time.
I am grateful for the Ben's who keep this place going,( but you guys need to clean out the little teenie bopper foreign jackoffs who know nothing)
And I am grateful to be a part of the best nation in the world, and to have served it with honor.

PurplePickle Says:
I'm thankful for the good things in my life. I'm thankful that the good things in my life outnumber the bad. And I'm thankful that the bad things in my life aren't worse, because they always can be.
Thanks to BF and BG for rock solid writing and daily doses of superb humor. Very seldom does a Ben post on this site fall flat. That's incredible given the amount writing required. Kudos and gracias.
steampunk22 Says:
^^Agreed
I'm thankful for friends and family, a strong support network, and nothing seriously wrong with me. Although getting surgery in a month or two sort of blows. And waiting two months now for my shop kinda sucks as well. And not being able to work at all in the meantime. Hey wait a minute, I'm with Marcer, FUCK a thanksgiving. I'm canadian anyways, I was grateful last month.
Actually, CP has never really let me down, so, even a month after Canadian Thanksgiving (Or Thanksgiving A, Thanksgiving #1, The Ultimate Thanksgiving) I guess I am still grateful for the cheer that CP brings to me in my apparently one month later slightly more depressing situation. Eh, could be worse I guess, thankful that its not though. I guess I'm thankful for WarMachineXXX showing me that. Cheers! Happy turkey!
Adam Bomb Says:
I'm thankful for the small things in life. Like the fact that I have legs, and they work, and I can walk. Also, I'm thankful that I have a job, my family, my girlfriend, and all the bacon I can eat.
Mmm, bacon.
But most of all, I'm thankful for MMA. What would the world be like if we didn't have this awesome way of looking at the martial arts? We'd all still be glaring at each other from whatever small little traditional art we were taking, never learning anything from one another. Thank you, MMA and those who practice it, for opening my eyes to a much larger and happier world.

I'm thankful for CP: the best, funniest, DRM-free-link-providing, MMA site on the net.
UFC fan Says:
I am thankful that SiDeBuRnZ's wife (WuTangClan) gives everyone anal. :)
itsgalf Says:
I'm thankful that I'm so awesome and that CP is reliable for being the best MMA site out there.
Craigger12 Says:
I am thankful for celebrating thanksgiving a month ago.
exp Says:
I have been reading CagePotato for too long. But I have never left a comment as I find it a waste of time. But I am appalled by your suggestion that "our" men and women need to be thanked for when we are fighting wars that we shouldn't and killing people that we shouldn't.
Having said that, I am thankful to the guys at CagePotato for the best MMA coverage around. I am thankful that more people are starting to wake up and we will make this country great again. I am also thankful that Brock didn't fight Shane because I thought he'd get knocked out. And thankful that Nog will submit Velasquez.
One last thing, I am thankful that we will sooner or later bring our troops home and send the war criminals to where they need to go.
Happy Thanks giving everyone

Hum Deez Nutz Says:
I'm thankful for my big cock and Sideburnz wifes anus.
Seoul Brother Says:
In general, I'm grateful for ECA stacks, my Bones Swiss ceramic inline skate bearings, Spyderco & CRKT knives, our fighting men and women, and the fine meshuggeners here at CagePotato.
Poutine Guillotine Says:
I'm thankful for all the opportunities CagePotato gives me to win free shit..... and very grateful that War Machine makes my fails look very minimalistic
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!WAR Free T-shirt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
PurplePickle Says:
@Seoul Brother
+1 on Spyderco. I carry a Manix on my person and another in my vehicle. Great, quick blades indeed.
bw224 Says:
I'm thankful that my boss turned off the web nazi so I can see cagepotato again
Seoul Brother Says:
@PurplePickle: The SpyderEdge blades are a pain in the ass to hone, but they're worth it. Kinda pissed off that I bought a SpyderFly before I saw that Laci Szabo modded it into the SzaboFly for his company.
bw224 Says:
Sog makes the best knives ever. I have one that I carry everywhere
StYoung Says:
@ steampunk22. Good luck and enjoy that free health care.
I'm thankful for the Bens and their Potato and that, unlike seemingly everyone else, I don't have to go to SiDeBuRnZ's wife in order to give a girl some good good lovin'.
exp Says:
wow. What a hostile crowd. Trust me. We will save the republic and bring the war criminals to justice. I am not anti-american. I am a Patriot who believes in true values of America. We are a moral country not bunch of savages murdering people in other countries.
I don't expect you to agree with me. But at least respect my first amendment. Besides, this is an MMA site. I was just being thankful. You don't have to threaten me and everything.
exp Says:
@RearNakedPoke. What's with all the hostility? I didn't ask for your service and won't need it. Sell it somewhere else bro. Threatening people is patriotic, right?
831 Son Says:
exp, dont be dumb now. Blame that shit on Bush fool. Dont come in here on Thanksgiving talking about how you are appalled that we have thousands of soldiers fighting across the sea when 95 percent of them do NOT want to be there. Shut up and take it up with your political science class or debate class bro. And yes, we get pretty rowdy in here, get used to it PETA lover.
Anyways... I am thankful for CP being the very best MMA site in the world. I am thankful that I havent been to jail for a while. I am thankful that HAL isnt Capslockin' the comments section. I am thankful that I was not brought up in a thirld world country. And I am thankful that my family finally smartened up and bought me alcohol ahead of time instead of me paying for it. Lastly, I am extremely thankful that my injury wont put me out of this amazing sport.
Happy Thanksgiving people. And yea you too UFC fan. But lets not make this being nice to eachother thing a big habit though.
exp Says:
@831. I hate PETA. haha. All I know is, If I were a solider and saw those atrocities, I would quit. It's worth it! But at least you didn't threaten me like others. I just hate war criminals, torture, and killings, and Shane Carwin.
JohnS Says:
I am thankful for the Potato Nation keeping the comments section lively. Also for the Ben's for my fav MMA site!
Mex Says:
Thankful for T&A, MMA and H&K.
hadouken Says:
I'm thankful that I just registered so I can finally post comments, after around 2 years of just reading the articles and comments here!
I'm also very thankful for this site, it really has the best approach to MMA. I've been to other sites, and none of them offer their opinion as openly as CP, and the humor and wit behind the articles here is by far the best in the MMA world! Good job guys!
Finally, I'm also very thankful for Shogun beating Machida, proving to everyone that I'm no fool for believing in him. :)
Oh and truly finally, I'm thankful for muay thai being part of my life. shit is fun!!!
oh and im not really sure why i'm so thankful, its not even thanksgiving in montreal!
Seoul Brother Says:
@Mex: Well said, brother.
Uncle.Sams.Misg... Says:
@ exp
I love how it is pussy's like you who have NEVER SERVED my beloved country that cry about war crimes and torture. Strap on a pair of fucking boots walk the walk and then come give me your "opinion". You think that this world is all cute kittens and flowers and have no idea what its like because the only place youve been besides the US is that one time in Mexico when you and your buddys shared that steamy night in a hot tub but it wasnt gay cause it was totally 1000 miles or more from your zip code. We are fighting an enemy of men that want to see us dead because of our idiology. They hate us and our way of life and they are fucking cave men throwbacks. They will lop off your head first and foremost while you cry for someone that got out into a few uncomfortable positions half a fucking globe away. Your probably one of these assholes that wouldnt "torture" someone even if it meant saving lives. Ive been there and done that Ive seen the look in the enemys eyes that pierces your soul because you know he would just assume kill you without a though for your freedoms and libertys. In short fuck yourself you little MTV generation bitch go watch the real world and jerk off to the Abercrombie and Fitch catalog again. Then you and Obama and code pink can all take about 20 minutes or so and go fuck yourselves!!!

Randy Pan Says:
@RearNakedPole: All of the wars we fight are imperialistic and have nothing to do with granting Americans "the right to say what they want to." The whole notion of "supporting our troops" is just a trick to get citizens to focus on the men and women of the armed services instead of focusing on the policies that they enforce. I don't support our foreign policy, so why the fuck should I support our troops? It's not the US soldiers' fault that their jingoistic country throws them into meaningless wars, but this post-9/11 "We have to support our troops! Freedom isn't free!" rhetoric is for chumps.
@exp: We will not save the Republic. The Republic died a long time ago.
I'm thankful for Evan Tanner.
exp Says:
@unclesam. I am sorry you feel that way. But your service is not required for me. I don't ask anyone to kill others for my freedom. And no. I will not try to prove my "manhood" by serving. I hate wars & war criminals. The reason the world hates you is because you deserve it for your attitude. Me and other "true" patriots are trying to change the image of this country. BTW, I am not a liberal so don't play the "O" trick on me. Dude. You really need to read a book. I am serious. Stop watching re-runs of 24 and get some real reading done.
@Randy Pan. Evan Tanner. Poor guy. But we will save the republic. If we give up and give in to mass control, what's left? Joe Rogan is with us too!
KarmaAteMyCat Says:
Hows everyone doing? good I hope. I am currently thankful that training has gone well and that my upcoming bout looks like it will go off without any catch 22's. I am Thankful for family and friends. I am thankful that I was at one time a part of the Armed Forces and Understand that people like Exp are gutless cowards and need defending.
I am thankful for Cagepotato.com and My love for martial arts. I am thankful for the drive to become a better fighter and a stronger person. I am thankful that as a person I have evolved enough to know that I have much to still learn. I am thankful for all of you here at CP, because you make me smile sometimes when theres nothing to be happy about. I am thankful for Ben and Ben because I don't think without cagepotato I would have thought seriously about competing so thank you.
I am thankful for all the fighters and the promotions that give us a chance to do what we love. I really love fighting but more then that I love being an ambassador of my sport, I love turning people onto the greatest and most humbling sport known to man kind(If you forget about tito or Josh koschek) I wish you all holiday cheer and the bounty of a feast, accept you exp I hope someone blind sides you and kills you in a moment of drunken stupor. Thank you CP and may Karma be on your side always.
