Also known as: Happy Go Kill a Turkey Day and Eat It!

Not really XD

Well, this basically only applies to you if you're an American or otherwise affiliated. Hehe.

Some people find it odd that the English don't celebrate Thanksgiving. Hmm, well, I wonder why. Let's examine.

1. Puritans. The Puritans left England. Thanksgiving was started by the Puritans, essentially.

2. England no likey Puritans.

Hehe. At any rate, it's a nice thing to do whether it's celebrated or not, to sit down and think about what your thankful for. Heck, bake a turkey while your at it. :D

Happy Thanksgiving!

Well, I had my turkey over a month ago (Canadian), but I will still wish all American members a Happy Thanksgiving. Enjoy your feast, and begging to the "Holiday" season:)

Cheers!

I have to work today! :'( Well, not that I really mind because that's more money in my pocket that I can certainly use! Not entirely pleased about the fact that I won't get to eat supper with my family but I'll live, lol. I'm thankful for having my job, other people have it much worse than having to work on the holidays!

I have to work this afternoon, but we're doing the great Turkey Feast before I leave, so it's all good. :D From then on, it's just a matter of whether or not I can function properly with a full stomach and keep myself from falling asleep.

Hope you all have a great Thanksgiving as well!

Lol. I help in the kitchen for hours. .and then I eat it all. .

food. .

Oh yah, I forgot about the Canadian Thanksgiving, my French teacher had gone up there with his wife's family, so it was pretty awesome :D

Ah Thanksgiving, a true symbol of American multitasking. Not only in the kitchen as we tend to various pots and pans and whatever's in the oven (hopefully pie and not Green Army Men) while at the same time hoping not to cause a massive fire with our deep fried turkey; but also like so many other holidays serving the dual purpose of keeping those fiendish turkeys in check.

We've done it to rabbits on Easter, Christmas trees for Christmas, hot dogs (which are really vicious in the wee hours of the morning) for the Fourth of July, and now it's the Turkey Day!

But how did this magnificent day of feasting come to existence? The story of the Puritans that had so mind-numbingly destroyed our elementary school notion of the Pilgrims and the Native Americans getting together over a table with a bit cornucopia as the centerpiece; is of course a facade to forget darker, more sinister times...

Long ago, set upon this land by a great and mysterious being, the Turkey walked proudly above the lowly underlings afforded by the Earth. The powerful Turkey nation (known now in retrospect as the Golden Drumstick) swept across Eurasia leaving nothing but conflict and contempt behind. Castles tumbled, as men, women, and children were lost in the battle or subjected to inhumane treatment as well as slavery.

The Turkey nation longed for supremacy and immediately besieged the larger towns and cities. They found little resistance among cows and even less resistance among Chickens (hence the name). When all hope seemed lost and England had fallen into a dark age never before seen since the aptly named "Dark Ages" new heroes were forced into the limelight. A little known fact was that Puritans was actually and acronym for "People United Rightfully Insisting Turkeys Are Not Superior" this underground network of Turkey haters successfully raided Turkey installations and commandeered the prized ship "Foster Farms" and immediately rechristened it the "Mayflower" which itself was also an acronym though it's original meaning has long been lost to the sands of time.

Fleeing from the land of fowl tyranny they reached the New World, a land of docile turkeys whose ambitions had yet to be sparked. Rejoicing, the PURITANS, rounded up a fair number and immediately submerged them in boiling cooking oil and grease with a light coat of breading. Happily they feasted upon their conquered foes and declared the a day of "Thanksgiving for the Ability and Courage to Vanquish and Feast Upon the Fowl Tyrants of the New World in Order to Keep Their Population at a Manageable Level" later this was shortened to "Thanksgiving" due to copyright infringements.

Yep, we have a lot to be thankful for, lest we forget the horrors of latterday...

Happy Thanksgiving!
