Good Afternoon,

Well, Thanksgiving is just a few days away. Since that statement is actually accurate I thought it would be in my best interest to make this issue of Mouthpiece 'The 2013 Turkey Day Edition: Twin Beaks' issue.

I've packed this edition with great quotes, a turkey of a game, some interesting lesser-known 'Pulp Fiction' facts and 31 Bizarre December Holidays.

So have a Happy Thanksgiving and save me some stuffing, pie, turkey, rolls... just let me know when you're going to eat and I'll just come on over.

Mouthing Off,
Carl

20 Surprising 'Pulp Fiction' Facts You Might Not Know
From uproxx.com: It's been almost 20 years since Quentin Tarantino gave us his Reservoir Dogs follow-up Pulp Fiction. Twenty years since we saw Ving Rhames get violated by a redneck security guard. Twenty years since Samuel L. Jackson taught us the virtues of not answering a question with "What?" Twenty years since John Travolta had his film career revived, only to do Wild Hogs a decade later. What I'm saying is that now is a good time to look back at one of the greatest films of last 25 years and dig up some of the gems you may not know.
