    What's the best part of Thanksgiving?  Aside from Santa at the end of the Parade and the Lions rocking the gridiron, it's easily eating until you think you're going to burst.  And with this episode, something can actually burst out of your chest and freak out the family!*  Erik shows you how to do the chest burst effect that was made famous in the Alien movies!
