text: But risking holiday sentimentality ( with the ready-made excuse that it 's just the chestnut stuffing talking ) , I 'd like to mention some things I 'm thankful for , like Tim Carvell 's two ( ! ) responses involving pushing people or poultry out of airplanes ; Jennifer Miller 's two ( ! ) bits of self-revelation about her dark and ferocious inner life and apartment ; Larry Amaros ' determination that the Olsen twins wander parched and frightened , not merely in the Serengeti but during the dry season .

  I won 't risk holiday sentimentality , so you won 't hear what I 'm thankful about , at least not from me .
