I am reliably informed by oc6 that tomorrow is Thanksgiving in the US. So I'd like to wish all Americans here a fun and safe holiday. May the turkey be excellent, the polenta exquisite and the family fueds few.

*goes off to spit on grave of Samoset* :P

YEY YEY YEY,

Its a stupid holiday.

Frankly i'm glad England didn't keep America.

I'm sick for thanksgiving, my family is going to leave me all alone at home while they go to my brother's house.

Didn't keep?

As if England had a choice?

personally, i'd expect an increase in people needing advice/to rant around this time. holidays can be rather stressful for some families.

It's alright, I mean, it's not like it was going to work out. At least we're still friends with benefits, right? I mean, we still call eachother and stuff. Besides, we just...outgrew you, ya' know? We could fit like, 1000 englands into America. How is that supposed to work, eh?

Happy American Thanksgiving!

Enjoy your food, company, and family.

If you're spending the holiday alone, that's alright too. There are plenty of things you can find to do, try and avoid the bottle or pipe for the day; if it's the lifestyle, it can be a strange change for the day.

Don't feel like you need to do, feel, or think anything in particular simply because it's Thanksgiving.

Yayyyy!!

Thanksgiving is probably my least favorite holiday, as it's so boring, but I LOVE the food.

Only thing is, I work in retail. And that means Black Friday is going to be absolute hell.

Fucking soccer moms that have to get everything done the day after thanksgiving.

I did the retail thing for three years in a row... One year at target I had toys AND childrens clothing. I feel your pain.

Ah yes, Thanksgiving. A time to celebrate family and enjoy a good meal, the main course of which is an entirely too large turkey.

The sight of a turkey sandwich will haunt our dreams a week from now.

Mmmm leftovers are great though.

Enjoy it, and think of me when your eating.

I'll be doing an exam... o___O'

Fuck the holidays, all I do is fight with family.

So guess who's doing all of the cooking for my family AND my husband's parents?!:P

Seriously, though, I started cooking on Tuesday, because there's so much to do. It will be a feast that is never forgotten...mark my words.

Wonderful kids we've got coming to take over this world, eh?

She's no kid, my little hombre.

She is a mature woman of the world!

Bazzle is not a mature, let alone a woman!

I think, hun, you didn't understand the aiming of my post. Notice how the barrel always stays up-range, and away from oc6.

You know, I'd love to stay up and tag-team it with you wonderful women, but I need to get some sleep and I'm sure you'll still be around after I wake up.

Heh, well you know, she and I are two of the few ladies (grown women I mean) on here...And I think we may be the two oldest, but I'm not sure...*crosses fingers and prays yoyobek or mrmojorisin is older than 26*

I'm the grandam of totse.

Oh....nite nite dear Gus.

Toast to the exploitation and near eradication of the native people. Cheers

My VERY FIRST Thanksgiving dinner that I alone am cooking is well underway. Wish me luck, I'm nervous.

Good luck

I baked four pies. Not being much a cook, I do the simple things and leave the rest to others.

I've never cooked a turkey. I stuffed a chicken once and it was the most disgusting thing ever! I've never done anything like that sense.

Bah humbug.

RIGHT sentiment, wrong festival..but still 8/10.

And the slaughter of turkeys continues unabated

*thinks of South park turkey rampage*

Here Black Friday is the last working friday before Christmas, where all the labourers go out for their work do and everyone fights.

Edit: Or is that black eye friday?
